I don't own Narnia or any characters you may recognize. They just sneak into my head and whisper things they probably (don't) want to happen to them.
I love the LORD because he hears my voice and my questions.
Edmund and Lucy watched Peter and Susan hurry around preparing the castle for the Archenland guests that were to arrive later that day.
Lucy watched Susan smooth the lion embroidered design on Peter's shirt, Peter rolled his eyes slightly.
"Edmund, why do you love Aslan?" Lucy asked, looking at Edmund innocently.
Edmund, who was slightly taken aback by this random question, thought carefully for a moment.
"I don't really know how to explain it." He said, as he and Lucy walked out to the balcony that overlooked the eastern sea.
"Try to explain." Lucy begged slightly, Edmund thought intently for a moment.
"Well... it's like this, if you or Pete are gone and I talk to you, it will seem as if I am a mad person. But if I talk to Aslan, no one will think any different of me." Edmund attempted to put his thoughts into words.
Lucy nodded understandingly.
"I can talk to him any time, any place, and he will still listen willingly. I can ask him anything and he will not make fun of it, I can confide more to him than you, Peter, or Susan. And besides, how can I not love him? He saved me from Her." Edmund shuddered slightly.
Lucy grasped his hand and grinned. "I'm so glad he did." She said, Edmund smiled.
"Ed, Lu." Edmund turned around to see Peter standing in the doorway his two youngest siblings turned to face him.
"What do you want us to do?" Edmund asked, Peter gave them a smile, leaning up against the wall.
"I'm afraid you had better go from the castle if you don't want to get put to work by a dear sister of ours." Peter said, Edmund and Lucy both started laughing and ran to the gardens.
As they sat by one of the many sparkling fountains Edmund pressed on about his thoughts about Aslan and Lucy listened quietly until it was time to get ready to greet the guests.
A/N: I recently posted this on wattpad, along with two other Narnia fics that probably will not make it on fanfiction. If you would like to read the others my username is Ambidextrous-Drummer.
