What a welcoming site. Trying to make his way home, only to be surrounded by the people who make his life a living nightmare. Rob hated the walk home as much as he hated school. So many absent minded and obnoxious people. How could anyone survive it?
After many shouts of the usual taunts and put downs, he was finally home. But and end always brought a new beginning and he knew it was going to start all again tomorrow.
He just wished, for one moment, time could stop and he could just get away from all the stress, all the pain. He could not believe how evil and nasty people could be. He was only doing what everybody else does, trying to make his own way in the world.

Narnia had changed, once a bureaucratic, violent war ridden world, was now a lush and prospering paradise. Still, within the paradise, their was sadness. High King Peter Pevensie had rule with his brother Edmund and sister Queen Lucy, since millennia before the rule of Caspian X and for years after the crash that changed their lives on Earth forever.
The sadness was not due to Narnias people, but of the sadness felt by Peter, Edmund and Lucy ever since their reinstatement of Kings and Queen of Cair Paravel.
Narnia, unlike the past, can never be stumbled upon. It cant be entered like walking through a wardrobe, or by waiting at Strand station. The ultimate sacrifice must be made.
The Pevensie siblings were missing one person, their sister Susan, who still alive on Earth, was not present at the crash which claimed the Pevensie siblings lives. Peter knew he had to do something.
Hidden in the royal cache was a relic which was deemed never to be used again, by Peter himself. That rule was now broken. The sound was heavenly, like a thousand angels. Peter knew it would not transfer anybody to Narnia, but hoped, deep down, it would provide the signs to somebody... maybe that certain somebody to lead them here. The ultimate sacrifice.

The only friend Rob really trusted, was one Susan Pevensie. Rob had known her for ages, in fact she now lives with him and his family. If he admits it, Susan's past is shrouded in mystery. Why did she leave her family? According to her she could not take it anymore and would rather go into the world alone rather than having her family analyzing anything she ever does.
Again, the walk home came. But this time it was different. Rob felt happy. As if a rush of hope coursed through his veins. Walking down the street, the same street he walks down every day, Rob noticed something utterly bizarre.
Was it a Lion? Well if it was it was absolutely huge, but the strangest thing is, nobody seemed to notice. But in a flash, it was gone. He must have been seeing things... he thought.
Wow watched out Rob! You look like you've seen a ghost shouted Susan as she walked past him.
Sorry Suz, miles away there! Rob replied. Rob was beside himself. Tiredness, it must be.
By the time Rob got home, Susan had gone upstairs. He heard what sounded like crying. He went upstairs and saw Susan holding, what appeared to be, from what he saw, a picture. When Rob came him, Susan quickly composed herself, and slipped the picture under her pillow. What up with you Suz? Rob said worryingly. Nothing , dont worry, just having one of those days said Susan, sniffling back tears.
Later that night, Rob went up to her room, when she was Susan has having her dinner. Looked under her pillow. The photo seemed warn. The people in it were something that really caught Rob's eye. Four people in what seemed like royal garb, with swords mounted at the waists... Rob looked again when he saw the taller of he women in the picture... Susan. He saw a kind of crest of each of their clothes the picture. He saw it read a word in Latin.. faintly he read Cair Paravel...
