Dear Sir Lancelot of Camelot,

I know you only left a day ago, and yet I felt the need to write you. I have had some free time as of late, since Edmund is taking up much of the court cases and there haven't been many affairs of state as of recently. My biggest responsibility is preparing the castle for the upcoming End of Autumn Festival- mainly I've been ordering decorations and checking in on the kitchens to make sure that everything is in order, however not even that has been able to take up all of my time. I simply cannot stand to be doing nothing, not that I'm writing you simply because I have nothing better to do, of course. I truly did enjoy your company, and that of the other Knights, Prince Arthur, and even that of Merlin. It appears that you all are so close, as if you are all one large family. It reminds me of the relationship Peter, Edmund, and Oreius have with the Knights here at Cair Paravel.

It truly was a pleasure having all of you visit. I never dreamed that men of Camelot would step foot over Narnia's borders, however I am so thankful that you did, even if from what I heard it was under less than courteous circumstances. I must apologize again for the men of Calormen attacking you, your armor resembles ours a great deal, and we haven't currently been on the best of terms with the country. Prince Rabadash, the Tisroc's (who knows how long he shall live...) son, has been pursuing me for some time. He seems like a fair and honorable man, however his temper is notorious throughout the land, and I have no desire to return his offers. He has never even come to see me in person, and has done nothing more than send me a various assortment of gifts and letters with his representatives. I definitely will not even consider his offer unless he comes to meet me himself, and yet even if he does I am doubtful. However I refuse to be rude.

I hope your trip has been well thus far, and no poor weather or unfortunate circumstances have befallen you or any of the other men. You are welcome back in Narnia any time you wish.

May the Lion watch over you,

Queen Susan the Gentle

Dear Queen Susan,

Receiving your letter today greatly warmed my heart, although it was quite a surprise to not only me but the others as well, to wake and find talking birds surrounding our campsite, all with letters either clamped to their beaks or tied to their legs, a large raven was even hauling a package to us a few days later. They were very polite, however it was getting them to leave that was the problem. Not that I didn't like their company, they kept us entertained for quite some time, but they were all chattering over one another for some time and none of us could get a word in edge wise. It was a wonderful way to spend a few hours, however. We will be turned back towards Camelot soon, and our time on the road has been without trouble. The weather has been nearly perfect, if not a little cold, however that comes with the time of year. However, the other men and I are in agreement that Narnia's climate is much colder than that of Camelot's. If we visit again I'll remember to bring warmer clothing.

I suppose we are all like lone large family, yes. Merlin definitely is the motherly type and Gwaine the irresponsible little brother. We all have been through much together, and despite our differences, we all get along fairly well at the end. Frankly, they are my family, as I am without any related by blood. I care about them all a great deal, as I'm sure High King Peter and King Edmund and General Oreius care about their Knights.

Please, do not apologize for the actions of men from another country. We took no offense by their actions, at least not offense directed at your noble selves. In a way, I am thankful, because if they had not attacked us, King Edmund and Queen Lucy wouldn't have saved us, and we never would have probably entered Cair Paravel, as we had been walking away from the castle at the time, if my memory serves correctly.

I do hope that this Prince Rabadash does not cause you any trouble, for a woman such as you is much too kind and fair to be treated any less than selflessly.

I thank you for the invitation, I will have to see if there is any way I could take you up on your offer in the future.

Be safe My Lady,

Sir Lancelot

Dearest Merlin,

I hope your travels have been safe. I must say it has been quite boring since you and the others left. Now there hardly is a simple day in the Cair, however having you all here had truly been wonderful. I trust you not to get yourself into any more trouble.

We are quite busy currently preparing for the End of Autumn festival. I know it seems a little funny to celebrate the end of anything as opposed to the beginning, but we have been trying to keep the Narnians' spirits high as winter approached. Things have improved greatly, but during our first few years as monarchs the beginning of winter was simply a reminder of what has passed. It was Peter's idea to have the festival, and it truly has been a source of excitement all over the country. It is very similar to the feast that all of you attended, however it is much larger and more grand. Normally we would have the celebration take place on the Dancing Lawn, however winter seems to be setting in earlier than normal this year, so it will be held inside the Cair. It may be a little crowded, so I do hope we are not forced to turn people away. Are there festivals like this in Camelot?

May Aslan keep you,

Queen Lucy

Dear Queen Lucy the Valiant,

Receiving your letter truly was a great surprise, and the birds that delivered it are wonderful, I would love having them around in Camelot.

Our trip so far has been pleasant, and we are currently staying at an inn of a small village, however I believe the owners are unaware of who we truly are, since they threatened to kick Arthur out if he demanded the young couple in the room next door keep it down one more time, saying it's bad for business. I think it's good for Arthur to be treated like a simpleton from time to time, if you ask me.

That sounds like such a pleasant night, regardless of where it takes place. The reasoning behind it is wonderful, and High King Peter has my praise for the idea. I do hope the festival goes well and there are no complications, and of course that everyone can attend. Camelot does have festivals, although they are mostly small private affairs, such as Arthur's or Uther's birthday parties. However they are still fun, but I am serving food and drink most of the night, so it was a rare experience for me to actually be able to partake in the festivities. The Beavers we danced with really were wonderful, and so was the faun, Tumnus. They all seem to adore you so much.

I must thank you for being so discrete about what happened on the day we left. Your reassurance was more comforting than you may know.

I hope one day you could come and visit Camelot, if the laws ever do change. I will be sure to invite you the moment they do.

Have a pleasant day and remain safe,

Merlin

Prince Arthur of Camelot,

I wanted to thank you again for visiting Narnia, and being so open to the vast cultural differences. I trust you enjoyed your stay, and please remember that you and your Knights are welcome back any time. You and your men truly are a great people, despite the laws separating our lands.

I'm wishing you a safe journey back to Camelot. I apologize for the short reply, I'm currently swamped with dealing with minor political conflicts between Calormen and the Ettinsmore Giants.

I hope you and your men have a safe journey, and that perhaps one day my family and I could visit you in exchange.

May the Lion watch over you,

High King Peter the Magnificent, Emperor of the Lone Islands, Lord of Cair Paravel, and Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Lion

High King Peter the Magnificent, Etc. of Narnia,

You have nothing to thank us for. As I've told you and your family before, King Edmund and Queen Lucy saved our lives and I am forever grateful for that. You are right, the differences are astounding, and I know I was quite surprised at various times throughout the night by various creatures and events. Your land amazes me, and yet I will not lie that there is a certain level of uncertainty surrounding it. I'm sure that you and your family's motives are pure, however, for I have never met a group of people so sincere in heart, body, and mind. Granted I do spend a lot of time around Sir Gwaine, so I apologize if my expectations are a tad bit low.

Giants? That sounds horrible. I do hope that you and your people stay safe. Please keep me informed if the state of affairs changes.

I do hope that as well, one day perhaps it will be possible, although I apologize that I cannot make such a promise so readily.

Thank you for the pleasant company.

Sincerely,

Prince Arthur of Camelot

Dear King Edmund the Uptight, Duke of Boredom, Count of Western Somewhere, Knight of the Sacred Table Thing,

Seeing as your siblings all wrote us, and yet you wrote no one, I took it upon myself to do this. I do not know what your duties consist of as a King of this odd place of Narnia, however I am curious. What is it that you do during the day? Does Narnia have tournaments? Who competes in them? The land of Narnia was both amazing and terrifying, and the thought of living there full time is a bit dizzying.

As for me, when I'm not going on death defying trips with his royal pratness (in the words of Merlin) I spent most of my time at the tavern, honing my sword fighting skills, spending time with beautiful women, or reading. Yes you read that correctly. I do read, mostly fiction novels as I do not have much of an interest in law or sciences or arithmetic.

Now, I've told you something surprising about myself, care to share?

The Brave, Handsome, and Unmistakably Talented Sir Gwaine

Git,

You do realize you cannot address me as such, correct? I am not uptight, nor am I boring. I have morals, as I have told you before. But, seeing as I am done with matters of court for the day (does the family of Baeden Bear or Sylvian Fox own the burrow across from the River Rush and Glasswater Creek) I suppose I can humor you at least for a little while.

Most of my day is spent in court or training with Oreius, or reading in my library. That may in fact be the only thing we have in common. We do have tournaments on occasion, Peter usually competes in all of them , I do on occasion but rarely, Susan does on occasion if there is an archery competition and Lucy if there is knife throwing. Anyone can compete, talking beast or faun or centaur, if they are capable, although we mostly only will host them if there are ambassadors from a foreign country staying for an extended period of time. I suppose it might be a little fun to have a tournament against you and the other men from Camelot. Maybe.

I felt the same about Narnia when I first arrived, do not worry. It is a sensation you will grow accustomed to, in time.

I think you're trying to dirty my mind. It is not working.

Maybe this will keep you entertained for some time, I've attached a copy of the basic Narnian history, written by one of our best Faun historians. Do not feel that you have to return it. Just keep it hidden if magic is truly as feared in Camelot as people say.

May Aslan protect you,

The Much Braver, More Handsome, Undoutably Talented, and Intelligent King Edmund

A/N: I know, I know, somewhat of a filler chapter. I just enjoyed writing it too much. This is a shorter chapter than normal, but no fear, the real excitement will be starting soon. Feedback is always appreciated!
