Well, it's been a long time coming (I think) but it's here at last. My newest story. Never thought I'd do another three-parter after finishing the trilogy, but once the wheels started turning and the ideas flowing there was little stopping them. So, here it is...

Yes this is book three, and no, you didn't miss books one and two. I'm trying something a little different. After we finish this book, which will be a short story, we will jump back to book one and the beginning of the story.

Disclaimer: Narnia and all it's natural inhabitants, travelers, and countries belong to C.S. Lewis. Lysandra is my creation though.

Spolier Alert: This book falls in line with The Last Battle, so the events of that story still occur. (Just a little heads up for any who have or have not read the actual Narnia books.)

Summary: "'After which, we will have eternity.' Then he raised her ringed hand and kissed the back of it tenderly." They promised each other eternity; little did they know that eternity would begin so soon. A.U./Movie verse Edmund/OC.

The Lion's Lamb

Book 3 Chapter 1

Lysandra glanced at the strange time teller on the wall. It had been gifted to her and her father by their companions a few years back. She often marveled at how a simple object could track time so well, but then there were still many objects in this world that she marveled in. The time teller's face was simple, round and white with large black numbers, but the frame held a beauty which belonged to another world. Carved into the rich oak wood were images of hills and mountains, villages and castles, noble beasts and birds, and a Lamb and a Lion. Her companions said the strange time teller was called a clock. It was the first clock Lysandra or her father had ever owned.

At the sound of bubbling, Lysandra turned her eyes from the clock on the wall to the boiling sauce over the fire. Again, this was a strange fire. It was not like the cooking fire pits of Hyrden, which were open fires. The contraption over which she now cooked contained the fire deep within. Where? Lysandra knew not. The contraption worked in two ways. Food could be placed on top to cook, or it could be placed within to cook. The top portion of the contraption had four small fire pits through which the fire would show, but when the inner portion was used the fire remained hidden. Her companions had told her the inner portion was called the oven, and the top portion was the stove.

Lysandra was currently imploring the use of both portions of the cooking contraption. The boiling sauce which had directed her attention was on the stove. Lysandra stirred the sauce without much thought; cooking was second nature to her, which was a good thing, for Lysandra could not be bothered to think of things. Not today. Not when he was returning to her. Lysandra smiled gleefully at the thought of seeing him soon and glanced at the promise of a future together around her finger; it was one of the few customs of his world that she had to learn. Surely if they were in Hyrden they would have been wed long ago, but life in Hyrden was different. Quite different.

Suddenly the greeting bell tolled, signaling his arrival. Lysandra put down her stirring spoon to ready her welcome, while her father answered the door. She heard her father's low gruff voice greet their guests warmly and she waited to hear his response, for the timbre of his voice always brought a smile to her lips. Tonight was no different as her smile spread easily and her life essence warmed inside her. Her father's voice slowly growing in volume told Lysandra they were coming to her. The older guest entered the room first. He was tall with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a noble face; he looked every bit the magnificent king Lysandra knew him to be. He smiled broadly upon seeing her, and Lysandra gave a deep curtsey as was her custom.

"Welcome, Peter, to our home. I hope you find all you seek here pleasing," Lysandra said humbly.

"I am certain I will, Lysandra. Your excellence as hostess is only out shined by thy radiant beauty," Peter replied as he took Lysandra's hand and kissed the back of it softly.

Lysandra then turned her eyes to the other guest. He was younger, though a bit taller and no less noble in appearance than his brother. His dark eyes shined with a merriment that Lysandra knew must be reflected in her own eyes. His shoulders were squared, and a smile played upon his lips. Lysandra gave another deep curtsey, but when she arose she was greeted with a single flower, which she knew she could not refuse.

"You bestow upon me, Edmund, gifts I do not deserve nor do I require," she said.

"I bestow upon thee, gifts you do deserve because my love for thee cannot be contained," Edmund said before he closed the distance between them and gave a single kiss to Lysandra's cheek.

Lysandra felt rather than heard Peter's dramatic sigh, and before he could comment on Lysandra and Edmund's display of affection Lysandra stepped away from the youngest brother.

"Evening meal is cooking. It should be ready by the time we are ready to eat," she said as she pulled out a small glass vase to keep her flower.

"What is for dinner?" Peter asked while Edmund sniffed the air around him.

"It's your Archen Roast!" Edmund declared confidently. "Am I right?"

Lysandra smiled and replied, "Your nose does not deceive thee."

"Yes! I love your roast. Pete, you've never tasted anything like her Archen Roast. It's so tender and succulent, a real prize."

"The Archen Roast has always been a favorite of mine too," Lysandra's father agreed in his deep voice.

"Truly, Father?" Lysandra asked. The eldest man nodded in confirmation. "I was not aware."

Lysandra smiled in peaceful whimsy as her eyes took on a far off look, as though lost in another place and time.

"Lysandra? Darling what's wrong?" Edmund asked with concern when he saw the makings of tears in his betrothed's eyes.

Lysandra shook her head and the tears vanished. "It is nothing, my dear. The Archen Roast was always a favorite of mine and mother's."

"It must run in the family, then," Peter said with a small laugh.

"I do not understand."

"It's…" Peter began to explain, but then thought better of it when he recalled how much work explaining things of this world to Lysandra often entailed. "Never mind. It's just a phrase we use in this world occasionally."

"But what does it mean?"

"Now you've done it, Pete," Edmund said with a chuckle at Lysandra's profound curiosity.

"Prithee, Peter, I wish to know. If I am to live in your world I must know all I can. Every day I must learn something I did not know the day before."

"Well, it's all to do with science and biology, really," Peter said. "For nearly a century now, scientists have been curious as to how certain traits seem to pass from parent to child. It has been known that a parent with one particular trait may pass it on to their child, but scientists want to know just how such a trait is passed and why sometimes it is passed and sometimes it is not. A century ago there was this chap by the name of Gregor Mendel, and he conducted this experiment on pea plants. He bred this pea plant with that pea plant and took note of the sort of pea plants they produced, and then he cross bred…"

"Wait," Lysandra said suddenly, cutting Peter off mid-sentence. "I crave thy mercy, Peter, but I—I think I have heard my fill. What know I of science? I have never had a need to know. I suppose there are just some things of this world I shall never understand. Like your science, or that fire pit, or just how a clock works."

Edmund chuckled again. "What Peter meant to say, Lysandra, is that some things are passed from one family member to another. Archen Roast was a favorite meal of your mother's and of your father's and now it is a favorite of yours."

"How does that explain you though?" Lysandra asked.

"It doesn't. Scientists don't know everything; they just like to think they do."

"They know a good deal," Peter said in a manner that contradicted what Edmund had said. "Though, sometimes what they know isn't always used in the best of ways."

Suddenly his face grew very solemn and his eyes sad, as he too became lost in thoughts of another time. Edmund recognized too well the signs of a grave horror, and he knew he must find a way to bring Peter back to the present.

"When did you become an expert in the science of traits?" Edmund asked teasingly. "Last I knew you were studying to be a doctor, not a scientist."

"Becoming a doctor requires knowing some science, Ed."

"The science of pea traits?"

"No, but I was bored one day so I read a recent publishing on the matter. A few scientists are re-evaluating Mendel's work, and some believe they are close to knowing the secret."

While Peter and Edmund continued on in conversation, Lysandra turned her attention back to cooking. She took a pot and placed several red potatoes into it. Then she added enough water to cover the potatoes. This was done using another modern marvel that somehow pumped the water for her. Once the pot was full of water and potatoes, Lysandra placed it over one of the vacant fire pits on the stove and lit the fire beneath. It wasn't long after Lysandra slightly seasoned the stewing potatoes that she felt a gentle touch to her arms.

Edmund placed his hands on Lysandra's arms gently, so as not to frighten her. He knew she knew who it was, for he felt her body relax into his. He gently pulled her away from the stove and brushed aside some of her hair to whisper in her ear. When he did it sent vibrations through her whole body, and she shivered in pleasure.

"Finally they have left," Edmund whispered. "I did not think they would ever leave us be. Turn and face me, Lysandra, and let me greet thee the way I have longed to greet thee. It has been too long since I have tasted of thy lips."

Lysandra turned softly in Edmund's embrace, and replied, "Then taste of them, milord, and take thy fill. Do so quickly, I pray thee, before my father or thy brother return hither."

Edmund's hands nestled into Lysandra's golden hair as his lips claimed their home, and Lysandra's hands came to rest where they always did, at the base of his neck. The kiss, though soft and gentle, was full of urgent passion. Had her mother seen Lysandra kiss a man in such away she might be reminded of the shame that had once befallen her, and if her father were to see he would likely challenge the young king to a duel at once. It is impossible to say who would win such a duel, for the results were always varied; both king and soldier were trained and well practiced. Such a kiss as what passed between Edmund and Lysandra at that moment was one of the few foreign pleasures Lysandra allowed herself to indulge in. Some things could hardly be helped.

Edmund pulled from the kiss only to return for another small one…and another, before placing a gentle kiss on Lysandra's temple. After which his hands ran down her arms to grab her hands.

"I have missed you, so very much," he said softly.

"And I you," Lysandra replied.

Edmund ran a finger over Lysandra's hand containing her dainty ring. "I have thought of a day."

"It is soon, I hope."

"The twenty-first of June, nineteen-fifty."

"The twenty-first of June? That is year away, Edmund."

"Ten months, actually."

"That is still not as soon as I would have hoped for."

"I know. And I know you would prefer tomorrow over waiting another ten months, but I do have a reason for choosing the twenty-first of June."

"You do nothing without reason, Edmund," Lysandra remarked and Edmund smiled. "So, what is your reason for this?"

Edmund's smiled widened. "Seven years ago…or rather it will be eight years, on that very day, on the twenty-first of June nineteen-forty-two, we found each other in this world, in the market of Cambridge we met. We had met before then, but I was a King of Narnia and you…you were a faithful follower of Aslan from Archenland, a young maiden trying only to save her friend and do the Lion's bidding. We could not be together in that world, but in this world it is a different story. Aslan allowed you to journey into this world of your own will, but, whether you know it or not, He had you make the journey to Cambridge by His will. And that is where we met again, on the twenty-first of June, nineteen-forty-two.

"So, what say you, Lysandra Archlin…" Edmund paused and shook his head before beginning again. "What say you, Lysandra of Archenland, wilt thou join with me in marriage on the twenty-first of June, nineteen-fifty?"

"Sixteen. That is the age at which most Archen maidens were wed, and that is the age at which I knew. You knew it not at that age, but I did. I have waited to join with thee in union for six years, Edmund. What matter to me will another ten months be?" Lysandra smiled tearfully. "For after which…"

Lysandra could not find the voice to continue, but Edmund finished for her. "After which, we will have eternity." Then he raised her ringed hand and kissed the back of it tenderly.

"We will have eternity," Lysandra whispered in agreement.

Edmund smiled and leaned forward to claim another kiss from Lysandra's lips. This kiss could not proceed as the one before, for the greeting bell gave another ring as more guests arrived for the dinner. Edmund gave a disgruntled sigh at the interruption, for as free as Lysandra was with her kisses she reserved them solely for Edmund's viewing. Lysandra too seemed a bit disappointed at the interrupting bell, that is until she heard the voice of the latest arrival. There was only one person who could have possibly interrupted Lysandra's time with Edmund and not received any negative fallout for it.

"Lucy!" Lysandra exclaimed as the youngest Pevensie sibling entered into the kitchen. Lysandra quickly left the warmth of Edmund's hold to embrace her oldest friend of this world.

"Lys! How are you?" Lucy asked while still hugging Lysandra.

"I am well, and you?"

"Tired, but excited. Very excited. I love these dinners. Now how can I help?"

"Oh Lucy, that is not necessary. You are a guest in my house…"

"Lys, please, let's not go through this again. I volunteer to help out, you deny my help, and then I find some way to help anyway. Just keep it simple and tell me what I can do."

Lysandra sighed. "I need some shredded cheese for the potatoes."

"Then the cheese shall be shredded, my good lady. Oh! hello Edmund," Lucy said as though just seeing her brother.

"Hello Lucy," Edmund replied wryly, for he caught a glimpse of a precarious gleam in her eyes. "You claim to be tried and yet I find you to be rather chipper. Wherefore?"

"Oh, Ed." Lucy brushed off his prying question and offered one of her own. "Don't you have something to do?"

Edmund scrunched up his face as though deep in thought. Then, with a big smile, he said, "No, I'm good to stay here."

"Are you certain, because I think Peter could use your help in the other room?"

"Pete's a grown man. He has it sorted."

"Edmund," Lucy huffed.

"Lu, I just returned from London. I haven't seen her in four weeks."

"You're marrying the girl, Edmund. You'll have every day to be with her."

"Lucy."

"Edmund."

The youngest Pevensies traded glares before turning their eyes to Lysandra, leaving the decision to her. She looked back and forth between the two. She never really liked being put in the middle, but it had been a rather regular occurrence for the past seven years. It always seemed a question of who would occupy her time: her best friend, or her betrothed? Lysandra refused to choose as often as she could, and as such the three of them spent most of their time together. Occasionally though, a choice would have to be made. This was one of those times.

Lysandra sighed. "Ed," she began but paused when she saw his head drop in defeat. "What?"

"You only call me 'Ed' when you side with her."

"That's not…" Lysandra began to refute but decided otherwise when she saw Edmund's face. "We won't be long; we promise. Right, Lucy?"

"I make no such promise," Lucy disagreed.

"Lucy," Lysandra said in warning.

"I'll do the best I can," Lucy replied with a sigh.

"Alright, I'm leaving," Edmund consented unwillingly."But first…"

Edmund left the counter he was leaning against and once again he closed the distance between himself and Lysandra. He placed one hand on her waist and with the other he cupped her cheek. Lysandra lightly placed her hands on each of his arms. Lucy, knowing full well how Lysandra felt about displaying affection, politely turned her head away and pretended she could neither see nor hear what was being exchanged.

"Please, Lysandra, don't feel like you have to stay in the kitchen the whole time. Lucy can handle things in here for awhile, if you feel the need to…say hello once more." Edmund smirked as he thought back to their earlier greeting.

Lysandra smiled too. "You fill my head with tempting thoughts, milord, thoughts which are hardly appropriate for an un-wed maiden."

"My apologies, milady, but I cannot say that I did not do all that I intended."

"Oh, Edmund. Why dost thou play with the strings of my heart in such a way?"

"Because thou hast played with mine in a manner likewise. You know how you may find me. Please do not be long, for I long to greet the some more." He kissed her lips softly. "I love you."

"And I love you."

With another sweet kiss, Edmund left the kitchen.

Lysandra watched Edmund leave sadly. "I do not like doing that to him, Lucy. Your news better be worth it."

"Isn't it always?"

Lysandra did not reply, she just continued to stare at the spot where Edmund had been last.

"There's a boy," Lucy said.

"Oh?" Lysandra looked quickly to her friend who was smiling gleefully. "Edmund nor Peter made any mention of a boy."

"That's because neither Peter nor Edmund know there's a boy."

"What's this about a boy?" a new voice asked suddenly; neither Lucy nor Lysandra had seen her enter.

"Jill!" Lucy exclaimed. Jill was the youngest of the gathering group, and though she was not technically family, Lucy had treated her as a sister since meeting her. "You're just in time. Now I won't have to say it twice. Quickly, close the door."

"Lucy has a boy; I had to send mine away to be told so," Lysandra said once the door was shut.

"Ooh, a boy?" Jill asked excited.

"I don't have a boy, Lysandra. I just said there was a boy."

"Well, what's he like? What's his name? Do you even know his name? And where did you meet him?" Jill asked.

"Yes I know his name, it's John Clarke, and he is very…chivalrous, I would say. I met him at Brookfields Hospital where I do my rounds; his father is a patient there. He's a sweet old man who likes for me to sit at his bedside and read passages from the Bible for him. He was at University—John, not his father—studying theology, but he had to drop out when his father fell ill because he had to take over the family business to pay the medical bills. It's a small book store on Cherry Hinton. I went in there once after a round; it's rather quaint."

"Mm-Hmm, that all sounds nice. So how many dates have you been on?" Jill asked.

"Technically, none, yet. We've only had lunch together a few times. But he's asked to take me to dinner this weekend, and I said yes."

"And your brothers don't know, do they?" Jill deduced.

"Of course not, because if they did they would want to meet him straight away and they would expect a formal proposal for courtship. I'll tell them eventually; I just don't know if John is ready for such formality yet."

"A formal proposal for courtship? What's that?"

"It sounds like more than it actually is. The guy just has to ask the girl's father—but in my case it would be Peter who would confer with Edmund before making a decision—for his permission to court his daughter."

"Edmund had to make a proposal to my father seven years ago after we returned from Narnia the last time," Lysandra said.

"Oh. Well that doesn't sound so bad, Lucy. The way you made it sound, I thought he had to sign a formal contract or something," Jill said jokingly.

"Oh no. You don't sign anything until the betrothal is made," Lysandra said as she stirred the sauce a bit more.

Jill laughed, but she was the only one. "Wait, you don't mean…" she began when she saw the look on Lysandra's face. "Edmund really had to sign a contract?"

"Yes," Lysandra replied simply. "I do not understand why that is surprising. That is the way it has always been in Hyrden, apparently it is the same in Narnia because father knew of it."

"So he really had to sign a contract to marry you? I've heard of signing a marriage license, but not a betrothal license."

"Yes, there will be that too at the wedding. There was also supposed to be a hefty exchange of gifts between Edmund and my father, but we waived that tradition since neither had live stock to give."

"Livestock?"

"It was typically a lamb, a ewe lamb, in Hyrden. I don't know what they traded in Narnia."

"There wasn't usually a livestock exchange in Narnia," Lucy said. "Not that I recall."

"I wish I could have lived in Narnia," Jill said wishfully. "It sounds so different and so exciting. Instead, I'm stuck in boring London with relatives during the summer while Eustace is off exploring the world with his parents. They just got back from America this time. Even that sounds exciting."

"Well, next summer you will have to spend some time here in Cambridge," Lysandra said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Why?"

"Well, you'll have to be around for the wedding of course."

Lucy gasped. "You've set a date? Oh please tell me you and Edmund have finally set a date."

Lysandra smiled and nodded her head in confirmation. "We have."

"When?" Jill asked.

"We only just decided tonight."

"No, I mean, when's the wedding? What's the date?"

"The twenty-first of June." Lysandra looked to Lucy. "It's the day we first met in the market of Cambridge."

"He remembers the day you first met in this world?" Lucy placed a hand over her heart. "Oh! That, brother of mine! He can be such a romantic, but you'd never know it by his demeanor."

Lysandra, Lucy and Jill remained in the kitchen talking and preparing dinner until the meal was nearly complete. As such, when Lysandra did leave the kitchen and came across Edmund as he was leaving the loo, there was no time left for an extra greeting. When she saw her betrothed in the hall, Lysandra smiled shamefully, but Edmund's smile said he expected no less.

"Did you not leave because you did not want to leave the cooking, or because you became engrossed in conversation?" he asked.

"A little of both," Lysandra admitted. "I'm sorry, Edmund. I did want to, but I…"

"Do not apologize, Lysandra. If you were any different I would not love you as I do. Now, do you have a moment to welcome the rest of your guests, or must you return so soon?"

"I have a moment, but it is a brief one."

"Then let us tarry no more."

Edmund held his arm up in offering to Lysandra, and she accepted with a smile as she tucked her hand under his arm. He led her back up the hall and into the room where the guests had all gathered. Apart from her father and Peter, there were three others in the room. Lysandra greeted first the eldest of them all, and the two original other-world travelers.

"Lord Digory, Lady Polly, it is a pleasure as always." Lysandra gently pulled her hand from Edmund's arm and curtsied before her guests.

"Nay, dear child," the eldest, Digory, replied. "As always, the pleasure is ours."

"We are grateful in your willingness to host these dinners of ours each year," Polly replied in a soft voice.

"King Edmund has informed us that you have been at work preparing a most delectable roast for this evening."

"And we have all learned not to doubt King Edmund's judgment, especially when it comes to food."

"Well I believe there are occasions when his judgment may be a bit biased, milady, such as when he is under the influence of food," Lysandra said as she cast a small smile in Edmund's direction. "I have yet to cook anything that his taste has disagreed with."

"Nevertheless, we hope that our arrival this evening has not been too much of a chore for thy fair hands," Lord Digory replied.

"Why! My good lord, 'tis never a chore when one does what they love."

"Too right you are, Lysandra," Digory replied with a chuckle. "Too right you are."

Lysandra exchanged a few parting words with the Lord Digory and Lady Polly, before turning to greet her final guest, a young man and a dear friend. Lysandra had met him years ago. He had been quite beastly then, but on their fated voyage Lysandra served as a witness to his great transformation. And he served as a great friend to the youngest Pevensies and Lysandra ever since.

"Eustace, it is good to see you."

"And it is always good to see you, Lysandra," the boy replied.

"I must say, you are looking quite dapper tonight. Did the Americans teach you that?"

"So you have heard of my summer adventures?"

"In part. Jill was quite sad to be so lonesome this summer. I do hope you brought her back something nice."

"Has she not already told you of it?"

"No, she made no mention of a gift."

"That is very much like her. She will complain but she will not boast. Have no fear, Lysandra; Jill has already received her gift, and now it is time for you to receive yours." From within his breast pocket, Eustace pulled out a long and narrow box wrapped in brown paper and string, and he placed it in Lysandra's hands.

"You are too much like your cousin sometimes. I require no gift," Lysandra said as she tried to hand the package back.

Eustace pushed the box back into her hands. "In this world it is considered an offense if a gift is not well received."

"That is so unfair, Eustace," Lysandra said, knowing full well that he only said that to make her take the gift.

"Do you care to risk it?" Eustace replied with a small smile.

Lysandra grasped the box with both of her hands. "Thank you, kind Sir. Your gifts, unnecessary as they may be, are well received," she said through her teeth.

"Would you cease being so snarky and open the box already?"

"By the mane, Eustace! You seem more anxious for what's in the box than Lysandra is," Peter exclaimed.

"Nay, good cousin. It is more to see her reaction to what's in the box, than for what is actually in the box," Eustace replied in a whisper.

Suddenly there was a loud gasp and the gathered guests all turned their attention to the hostess. A large, pleased smile spread rapidly across Eustace's face. Lying inside the narrow box was the single sprig of a plant with green leaves and plump red berries. Lysandra stared wide eyed at the sprig and, in particularly, the red berries. She held the box in one hand as though it were a precious child, while she placed the other hand over her heart. Though she remained staring at the sprig in the box her gaze turned distant and her eyes misted with unshed tears.

"Surely mine eyes deceive me, for this…this cannot be…trilo-berry?" Her voice was soft and fragile, hardly even a whisper. At last her eyes lifted to meet Eustace in a questioning gaze as she waited for his confirmation.

"In this world, it is called trilobata; however, many of the locals just called it sour berry. I wasn't certain it was the same thing, though it looked just as you have so often described, but then the guide had the juice ready for us and that's when I knew it could be nothing else. I knew I had to bring some back for you, even if it were but a small sprig."

"Oh, Eustace," Lysandra gasped. "This has to be the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me."

"Really? The sweetest?" Edmund asked in wonder. Lysandra merely ignored him.

"To think, after all these years, a bit of home has found me at last. Thank you, Eustace," Lysandra said earnestly before placing a soft kiss on his cheek. His cheeks flushed immensely at her touch and he ducked his head in an attempt to hide them.

"Aww, it was nothing really," he said as he shuffled his feet awkwardly.

Lysandra giggled. "I will make some juice right away and you shall have the first glass."

"You…you don't have to do that, Lysandra. You should save the juice for yourself."

"Nonsense. Tonight is a dinner to celebrate Narnia and all that it means to us. What better way to do that than to have a little trilo juice from Archenland?" Lysandra turned to address all the guests at that point. "The meal will be ready in five minutes. You can all make your way to the dining hall now as we prepare for its delivery."

With one more appreciative smile towards Eustace, Lysandra turned to leave but she stopped in the doorway. "Oh! And Edmund, if you must bestow them at all, these are the sort of gifts you should bestow upon me." And then she did leave.

Edmund turned his narrowed eyes to his younger cousin. "Thank you…Eustace," he said bitterly.

Eustace chuckled. "Don't worry, mate, I've already planted a sprig in my mother's garden. When it blooms, you'll be the first to know."

Edmund's narrowed eyes and bitterness gave way to a smile, and he said earnestly, "Thank you, Eustace."

"Well, we all heard Lysandra," Peter spoke to the gathered guests. "Dinner is nearly ready. Let us all make our way to the dining hall and take our seats."

Thanks for reading! Feel free to let me know what you think. Chapter two probably won't be up for another week, at least, as I don't have internet at home any more.
