Margaret's Voyage

Chapter 1: Back to Narnia

It was a year after Margaret and Holly went to Narnia and met Caspian to help him ascend the Narnian throne. Today, Margaret Lewis was on vacation with her family in Charleston, South Carolina. The Lewis' were going to spend the day on the water in a sail boat.

It was nothing fancy. Just a typical sailboat trip.

At least, until Margaret went below deck to explore a bit, mainly to find the bathroom just in case the worst happened.

Suddenly, the teen noticed a door with a carving in the shape of a lion on it. Curious, she walked over to it and opened it halfway expecting a closet.

It was a hallway.

"Odd" Margaret said as the math didn't work out since the door was on the side of the ship.

Curiosity got the best of her and she walked through the door and closed it behind her

Now the boat was made out of wood instead of metal

"Hoist the sail!" a male voice that was NOT her father called

"What the…?" she asked as she followed the noise to get back on the deck.

Suddenly, the boat jerked forward

"WHOA!" she exclaimed before she got to the deck

Ready to yell at her father about not warning her when they were about to cast off, Margaret got up on the deck and froze.

This was not the sailboat her parents rented

She ran over to the side of the ship and looked over at the land that was getting smaller and smaller

History may not have been her best subject, but she could have SWORN there were no castles in Charleston. Plantation homes, yes. A college, yes. But a full out medieval style castle that bore a remarkable resemblance to the drawings her best friend had of Cair Paravel, the castle of The High King Peter, The High Queen Holly, King Edmund, and Queens Susan and Lucy.

"What the heck?" Margaret asked

"Lady Margaret?" a voice called down.

Margaret turned and looked up to see a very handsome young man swing down from the crow's nest down to her.

There was something strangely familiar about this man.

"My name is Margaret" she confirmed, though the 'Lady' bit threw her off a bit. "Margaret Heather Lewis"

"What brings you aboard the Dawn Treader?" the young man asked

"I honestly have no clue. I was on a sailboat one minute and the next I was here" Margaret answered hoping that by playing along, she could get some answers "And you?"

"Well, as you may recall from our last meeting, when I was a child, my uncle sent seven lords who were loyal to my father away. It is my wish to locate them or learn of their deaths and, if possible, avenge them. But tell me Lady Margaret, did the High Queen come with you?"

"No. Just me"

"Well, you are welcome to join us" the young man said.

"Your Majesty" a man said walking up to them.

"Ah. Lord Drinian. Lady Margaret, might I present the captain of this fine vessel, Lord Drinian."

"Ah. The High Queen's loyal companion. Tis an honor to have you aboard."

"It's only her this voyage Drinian."

"No matter. She is welcome. Anyways, we are soon to arrive at the Lone Islands in three days."

"Very good" the young man said before turning to Margaret. "Come Lady Margaret. I shall show you to your quarters. Well, actually, they're mine, but as a Lady, you deserve the best. I shall just bunk with Lord Drinian."

"I couldn't put you out" Margaret said

"I insist." The young man said offering his arm

Margaret took it and they turned.

Margaret jumped at the sight of the two-foot mouse that had appeared suddenly.

If the young man was familiar, it was NOTHING compared to this mouse which she KNEW.

"Reepicheep?" she gasped

"Lady Margaret. I thought I recognized you. Tis an honor to have you aboard this fine vessel with us."

"Reepicheep here is along for the ride so he can go to the world's edge" the young man, whom Margaret was 90% certain was Caspian, explained

"I thought the world was round" she said

The three Narnians blinked confused

"That's right!" Caspian recalled. "You're from a different world. So your world is round? Amazing"
