Chapter 1
A Deep rich noise pierces the air.
"Whoa," Elvina whispered into Gwain's ear. He stopped. Could that be Susan's horn? She thought.
"Yes, dear one," Aslan said as he came into sight, "they are returning."
"What?" she asked shocked. Then I can reunite with my Peter. She thought giddily.
"No, dear one," he said as if he was reading her thoughts, " You will meet up with Trufflehunter and the others to help Prince Caspian reclaims Narnia. The monarchs of Old will come to you this time."
"But why must that reclaim his throne?" she asked, enrage that she had to help a Telmarnie. " I have seen what they had done to this country, my country, and you want me to help one."
"Yes. This one is different," He said.
"For our sake, I hope you are right. Still, I rather meet up with Peter and the other," She said as she brushed Gwain's mane.
"I know, but things can't happen the same way twice," He said. Elvina looked at him.
"So, you aren't going to show them the way either," She said as she steadied Gwain.
"No. You have your task and go do it," Aslan said as he walked away deeper into the forest. She sighed.
"I'm never going to understand him," she murmured.
"With respect, lady, I think he doesn't want you to understand," Gwain said as he began to trot.
"True. Come on, we can catch them when the reach the Minotaur and Centaurs," She said as she kicked Gwain into a gallop. They traveled thru the day, avoiding the area where the Telmarnies were. The night came and they found them, the prince, a dwarf and a badger whom she supposes was Trufflehunter. They travel with a group of centaurs into a secret valley where the other creature waited.
She got off Gwain and pulls the hood of her cloak up. She grabbed the reins. She places a finger to her lip, telling Gwain to be quiet and walked closer. She heard the accusations that the Narnians threw at Caspian and his propose. The Narnian Warriors held out their swords and pledge to Caspian.
"Add me as well," She said as she drew closer. Caspian drew out his sword and pointed at her.
"Who are you?" he said in a thick Spanish accent.
"You, Telmarnie, know me as the Black Rider," She said in a slow voice. When the Telmarnies first came to Narnia; she cause a bit of trouble and earned the name Black rider from them since she was always dress in black and came in the dead of night. She saw that the Narnians were dropping the weapon.
"The Watcher," Trufflehunter whispered, " Caspian, put your sword down. She is here to help."
Caspian did as he was told. She stepped into the moonlight and took off the hood. Trufflehunter gasped. He came close to her and looked up at her.
"You are more than just the Watcher. You are a Queen of Old. You are High Queen Elvina," he said in awe.
"How do you know me, pray tell? I haven't been seen in 1300 years," she said.
"A painting at my home. I have looked over that painting many times," he explained.
"Umm..." she said as she turned her attention to the prince. He stares at her in awe.
"Now, let's get these supplies and troops you were talking about," she said.
