So, chapter two is up. Feel free to gaze in awe at my divine awesomeness.
I apologize for every grammar mistake, english is not my first language and I suck at it. But I do as good as I can.

"Edmund!"
Silence.
"Edmund! Get yourself out here!"
Peter, High King of Narnia, growled in annoyance. So typical of Edmund to sleep in when they had a meeting about the relaionship with Calormen directly in the morning.
The seventeen year old once again kicked the door to Edmunds rooms and listened for five seconds.
"Alright, if that's how you want it."
Peter threw the door open and marched in, what he saw made his jaw hit the floor.
The room was empty.
So that must mean...he'd been kidnapped! No worse! He'd been killed! What should he do? Peter stormed out of the room yelling.
"Oreius!" The yell echoed through the castle and not soon after the general came galloping down the corridor looking like he'd just seen Jadis waltzing around the throne room with Aslan as her partner.
He stopped, sliding a bit on the marmor floor and looked to see if there was any enemies around to make his king scream like that.
"Your Majesty! I came as quick as possible! Has something happened!?" He gasped out trying to catch his breath. Peter looked up at the centaur with a pale face and wide eyes.
"It's Edmund! He's gone!"
What Peter hadn't expected was for the general to calm down immediatly and let a small smile be seen on his lips.
"Do not worry my liege. King Edmund woke up early this morning and went for a little trip, he took Phillip with him of course." Peter, who had been planning to start yelling again at the mentioning of Edmund going on a trip but calmed when he heard the Horse's name.
Phillip would never allow his boy to get hurt. Just as he finished that thought a small sparrow flew through the open window and landed on Oreius naked shoulder. It seemed to be upset. Peter loked at the bird and then glanced at Oreius before addressing it.
"Why so upset Gleam?" He asked the small creature. Gleam the Sparrow, spread his wings
"Majesty! Phillip has been sighted running towards Cair Paravel! King Edmund was on his back but it seemed like he was unconscious!" The sparrow had just finished his report when he found himself falling.
The High King and his general long gone.
Phillip entered the courtyard at the same time as the High King and saw the limp form of his little brother on the Horse's back and ran forward with a shout. He lifted the small body off Phillips back and was relieved to see no blood on his clothes.
Susan and Lucy ran out of the castle having heard their brothers shout and gasped when they caught sight of Edmund in their older brothers arms.
Susan took charge of the situation immediatly, healers were noticed and Edmund was carried to his room. Oreius, on Susans order, took the poor Horse to the stable to make sure he was taken care of.
Waiting outside their brothers room the three siblings where waiting anxiously for the healers to finish their check up and tell them what was wrong with Edmund. A moment after the healer Barkstreak came out of the room stroking his beard with a perplexed look on his face.
Preparing for the worst the king and two queens of Narnia tensed, gipping eachothers hands tightly. It was Lucy who found her voice first.
"H-how is he?" She asked, a small trembling in her voice. The faun looked at her and then at the other two monarchs.
"Truth to be told, your majesties. I can't find anything wrong with him. No wounds or bruises. Nothing."
Peter met Susans eyes and then looked at Barkstreak.
"Then why is he unconscious? Maybe his head have been taking a hit." The old faun shook his head.
"No your majesty. There was no sign that King Edmund has been a victim to violence." This confused the siblings. Then why in the name of Aslan was their brother in his room, out cold on his bed? Before any of the had the chance to speak Oreius came walking down the corridor. He bowed the strange way of centaurs and nodded to the healer.
"Your Majesties, I have talked to Phillip, it is strange. For he has no memories of what could have happened to King Edmund."
Before anyone could open their mouths to ask what he meaned Oreius raised his hand.
"Forgive me your majesties, but I do not know more. Phillip was in too much of a shock to say more so I left him in the hands of the stable keeper. And I've also taken the liberty to send a few trackers to follow the trail back to the place where they must have been attacked to find out who did this."
Peter nodded his approval before telling the general what the old faun had told them. Raising one of his eyebrows Oreius studied the wall in thoughts. Before he could say something a dwarf came out of Edmunds room looking at the people outside.
"Barkstreak! The king is awake!" The dwarf gaped.
Whilr he was talking the three monarchs had rushed past him and into the room of their beloved brother. Seeing their brother sitting up in the bed, alive, was simply too much for them and they all attacked him with fierce hugs crying out his name.
Flinching, as if he hadn't seen them coming, he looked up.
"Peter? Susan? Lu?" He asked, his voice weak and weary.
Peter laughed hugging his brother once again before speaking.
"Of course it's us Ed! Don't scare us like that ever again!"
Edmund looked around and spoke again.
"Why is it so dark?"
Peter and his sisters looked at eachother confused. Dark? It was in the middle of the day, with the sun shining into the room.
Suspicious Susan looked at her dark haired brother. She opened her mouth only to close it again. She swallowed and spoke slowly, as if fearing the answer.
"Ed, can you look at me please? She asked, her voice strained. Edmund looked around again as if searching for something.
"No, I can't see you. It's too dark."
Chapter two finished. Look! It is longer than the first chappie! Even though I had to squeeze every word out of my brain and I now have an headache. Anyway, please review. I would love to hear what you guys think. Until next time!
