Chapter 2: The Lone Islands

"Onwards the thrill of the unknown lies ahead."

"Couldn't it wait ill the morning", Eustace complained. I tried my very bets to like this boy but he was doing everything in his will to make that thought impossible.

"There is no honor in turning away from adventure land."

"Listen", Lucy said. "Where is everyone." Edmund helped me out of the boat and held me in his arms.

"Come on jilly legs", Reep said to Eustace who was struggling to get out.

"I'm capable of doing it myself", he said a moment before he fell onto the ground. I tried to cover my laugh but Edmund didn't mind showing his pleasure.

"And your certain he's related by blood", Caspian asked.

Lucy nodded.

Caspian, Edmund, Lucy, Eustace and I were on investigation while the rest stayed behind at the boats.

I was walking next to Lucy holding tight onto my sword.

I missed Reep. He and I were known as the invincible two. As log as we would fight side by side we could take one a 100 men army. I smiled lightly.

"What is it?", Lucy asked.

"Nothing." I nodded my head.

"Yeah looks like nobody's in so do you think we should head back", Eustace stated worriedly.

"You wanna come here and guard…something?", Edmund asked him before glancing at me.

"Ah yes, goo idea dousing. Very uh, logical."

Caspian handed Eustace a dagger. He studied the dagger not knowing what to do with it.

"Do you want me to stay with you?", I asked trying to comfort him.

"I've got it I've got it. don't worry."

I nodded and joined the others inside the church. Once inside Lucy found a book with names that were crossed.

"It looks like some kind of fee", I said.

"Slave traitors", Caspian said.

A bunch of armed man slide down the ropes hanging from the ceilings. I pulled my sword and fought them. We were so close to victory until I heard a scream.

"Unless you wanna hear this one squeal like a girl again, I'd say you should drop your weapon. Now!"

"Eustace", Edmund said in disgust.

I dropped my sword and instantly arms were wrapped around me from behind trying to capture me.

"Edmund!", I screamed.

"Lucy! Daphne!"

I passed out and woke up chained to a wall, next to Lucy and Eustace.

I didn't use my powers, because I couldn't. My powers have been blocked one year ago. I've had time enough to practice my skills, only they're useless if I can't use them.

"This one first." My chains were untied and I was pushed on a stage. I heard men laughing and talking.

There I was, standing on a platform, my hands still tied behind my back.

How was I gonna get out of here?
"Let's start with 100."

"125!"

"150!"

"250!"

"250? Anyone? Sold!"

I was handed over to my new 'master' who was grinning at me madly. I spit in his face. "You're disgusting", I said.

That got him angry, leading into him leaving a small bruise on my cheek from the smack of his small hand. The man wasn't tall at all. In fact, I believe I am taller than him.

Lucy had been sold and now Eustace was displayed to his potential buyers, but before that could happen, the shipmates revealed themselves and started fighting.

Even though my hands were tight together I was still able to take some men down.

Caspian threw me the key and I freed myself, Lucy and Eustace. Eustace instantly fled, Lucy picked up a sword and I searched for Reepicheep.

"Reep!", I yelled at the mouse, who climbed his way up to my shoulder.

"Let the games begin", he said pointing his sword at our opponent. Together with Reep I could play my game as I was used to.

"Left, right", the mouse said giving me instructions.

We beat one after another.

When the battle was over Caspian, Edmund, Lucy and I were openly honored as they walked back to the boats.

"Your Majesty, you majesty", a man with longer dark hair around his forties yelled running up to Caspian and Edmund, who were both ready to pull their swords.

I let out a gasp and received a worrying look from Lucy.

The man, followed by his little daughter, begged Caspian to let him join the crew to search for his wife. Caspian agreed, welcoming the man on board.

Before boarding the boats Edmund received a sword belonging to one of the seven lords of Narnia, according to the old man I got to know as Lord Bern, one of the seven Lords. I knew all about them. As a matter of fact, maybe I knew even more. Caspian tended to forget on or two names.
