Connecting with the Narnians

The Pevensies decided to change the school uniform they were wearing into the Narnian clothing inside their chest box. It was Andrian and Aliyah's first time in Narnia and they were wearing the same clothes back in England before being brought to Narnia. Susan and Edmund decided to give the two a set of medieval clothing so that they can change as well.

Peter wore a short sleeved brown tunic and a long sleeve blue undershirt. He wore a pair of tan trousers and a knee high boots. He carried his shield and his sword was linked together with a leather belt he was wearing. Same as his brother, Edmund had his sword by his leather belt and he carried his shield behind. Both Edmund's undershirt and tunic were blue in colour just that his tunic was in a darker colour with seven silver buttons in front. He wore a greyish tan trousers and a pair of knee high boots.

Susan wore a long sleeved purple stripped, medium weight narnian dress with a blue underdress beneath it. She carried her bow and arrows on her back. Both Susan and Lucy had their hairs plaited. Lucy wore a rust-red coloured long sleeve dress with a milky white underdress beneath. She had a dagger and her cordial with you, tied around her waist with a leather belt.

Andrian and Aliyah thought the clothes they wore were simply just brilliant. Aliyah was in a simply Dartmouth green, long sleeve V-necked collar dress. She had a grey underdress beneath while Andrian was wearing a black undershirt with a dark grey tunic over it. A leather belt was tied to his waist. Other than that, he was wearing a pair of dark brown trousers and he changed his old sneakers into Narnian boots. The six of them had already departed from the secret chamber.

"I must say," Susan was the one who spoke first, "You look really beautiful in this dress Aliyah. I guess my dress suits you well,"

"All thanks to you that you're willing to share with me your dress," said Aliyah, smiling brightly.

"I suppose people don't wear the clothes we wore back in England, right?" asked Andrian.

"No," replied Edmund, laughing, "That will look weird,"

"Aliyah!" exclaimed Lucy and everyone turned and looked at her. She was pointing at Aliyah's head and then she turned to look at Susan, "Su, we forgot to plait her hair!"

"Girls~" said Edmund as he rolled his eyes and continued walking, "I thought what has happened to her, Lu. You're scaring everybody,"

"But we forgot to plait her hair!" said Lucy, as she slammed her hand against her forehead, "How can I forget that!"

"How can we forget that!" Susan corrected her sister.

"You can always help her to plait next time," Peter told his sisters.

"Exactly," agreed Andrian and he continued, "So where are we heading to now? They were walking in the woods for several hours and they were clueless where they were going.

"To find the Narnians," Peter replied him. He was at the front, leading the group.

"Where will they go?" asked Lucy. She looked around at the trees. They were so still and there were only dead silence around them.

"We'll find out soon," Susan comforted her sister as she placed her arm over Lucy's shoulder and they continued to walk on.

"But why are back here again?" asked Andrian. Till then, everyone realized they were back on the place they used to pass by earlier on.

"Pete," began Edmund, "We don't even know where to find the Narnians in the first place. Look at Cair Paravel earlier on. I don't think they are here anymore,"

"We don't know if we don't try," replied Peter, "Who knows we might find someone along the way?"

"You're right Peter," said Aliyah. Everyone turned and faced her as she started talking again, "I know you're not losing any chances hoping to find the Narnians but we're just acting like a bunch of headless houseflies going into any direction that we can find,"

"She's right Peter," agreed Susan.

"There's no point just to keep walking around this area again and again," continued Andrian.

"Pete, we need a plan first before doing anything," Edmund told his older brother.

Peter remained silent after hearing what the others had said. He agreed silently that it was pointless to carry on searching in vain. He looked at the group in front of him and his eyes finally rested on Lucy. She was nodding her head too.

"Fine," said Peter as he cleared his throat, "We'll stay here for the night then and head down to the beach again tomorrow morning,"

…..

Back at the Telmarine castle, a man, who was rather old, walked slowly and carefully as he proceeded back to his chamber. He was cautious about the people around him, looking at him as if they were suspecting him of something. He opened his chamber's door and walked in carrying some books on his hands. He thought he was safe back in his chamber but he was wrong. There was someone in there, already waiting for him. The man was Miraz.

"You have quite a library, doctor," Miraz commented. He was reading a book but the doctor saw papers were on the floor, as if his room had been ransacked.

"Is there anything particular you seek, my lord?" the doctor asked as he walked towards his study table.

"I think I've already found what I'm looking for…" replied Miraz and he walked towards the doctor. He took out a red arrow and plunged it into a book on the table continued, "…in one of my soldiers!"

The doctor remained calm and took of his spectacles and went closer to examine the arrow. He knew what exactly Miraz meant after seeing it the particular page that Miraz had plunged in the arrow. It was on a page, showing a picture of the four Pevensies monarchs riding their horses. Needless to say, the four of them in the picture referred to Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy back during the Golden Age.

Miraz sat down opposite of the doctor and raised his legs on his study table. "What did you know of Queen Susan's horn?" he asked.

"It was said to be magic," the doctor told him.

"Magic?" Miraz repeated.

"The Narnians believed it could summon their Kings and Queens of Old," said the doctor, "At least, such was the superstition,"

After hearing what the doctor had said, Miraz put down his leg immediately and stood up and walked nearer to the doctor. "And what does Caspian know of this superstition?"

"My lord," began the doctor, looking down, "You forbade me from mentioning the old tales,"

Miraz gave a smirk and continued, "So I did,"

With that, Glozelle and a few soldiers were standing outside the chamber door that was left opened just now. They walked into the chamber and the doctor looked at Miraz. "I will say this," he said, staring straight into Miraz eyes, "If Caspian does know of the Deep Magic, my lord would have a good reason to be nervous,"

Miraz did not bother to reply the old man in front of him and simply just gave a nod to Glozelle who walked up with his men to bring the doctor to the dungeon. When the doctor was brought out of his chamber, Glozelle met Lord Sopespian who was on his way to meet Miraz.

"First our prince…" he said to Glozelle after watching the doctor being taken away by the guards, "…now his tutor. If the members of Miraz's own houses are not safe, are any of us?"

Before Glozelle could reply him, they heard Miraz's voice calling out for Sopespian from inside of the chamber.

"Those are dangerous words, Lord Sopespian," Glozelle reminded him.

"But these are dangerous times, General," Sopespian told Glozelle, "One should choose his words carefully as he chooses his friends," He walked into the doctor's chamber after saying his words, leaving Glozelle behind.

"How long until the bridge is finished?" Miraz asked Sopespian as he saw him walked into the chamber.

"Construction continues on schedule," replied Sopespian.

"That's not good enough," said Miraz and he demanded, "I need my army across that river now,"

"May I suggest you contribute some of your own men?" said Sopespian. He could not take that arrogant tyrant in front of him anymore, "I've only so many at my disposal,"

"A fact you'd be wise to remember," said Miraz , bluntly back at him.

Sopespian remained silent as he stared back at him.

"Go to Beruna," said Miraz, and then he looked back at Glozelle who was standing behind Sopespian, "Take as many troops as you need. We need to get to Caspian before they do,"

"'They' my lord?" asked Sopespian, looking at Miraz blankly.

"It's time to learn your history," said Miraz. He told him off and walked out of the room, leaving Sopespian behind looking at the page where the red arrow was standing in front of him.

…..

In the middle of the calm waters, a boat was sighted rowing slowly to the deeper part of the river towards the sea. There were two soldiers on it, as well as a dwarf. No doubt, the two soldiers were Telmarines and the dwarf was being tied up from head to toe. Even his mouth was tied with a thick cloth. He was staring fiercely at the telmarine soldier who was rowing the boat.

"He won't stop staring," the soldier who was rowing a boat said to his partner who was holding a crossbow.

"So don't look," his partner replied, frankly.

With that, the soldier kept on rowing and rowing the boat. However, he could not resist his temptation by looking back at the dwarf, who was still staring back at him. He was sort of afraid of the glare on the dwarf's face. "Here's far enough," he said to his partner because he could not take it anymore.

His partner nodded his head and put aside his crossbow as he helped to carry the dwarf as well as to balance himself on the boat. He was holding the upper part of the dwarf's body while the other man held the lower part. Before they could do anything, they heard a shout and within seconds, a red coloured arrow was shot towards their boat.

"Drop him!" commanded Susan, as she reached out to take another arrow, aiming at them.

Peter, Edmund, Lucy, Andrian and Aliyah were catching up from behind. Both Peter and Edmund already had their swords drawn. It was already the next morning and after everyone had woken up from their sleep, Peter led the group down to the beach again, trying to find ways to leave the island.

The two telmarine soldiers did what as they were told and they dropped the poor dwarf into the water. However, later did they knew, Peter immediately dived into waters and rescued the drowning dwarf while Susan fired another arrow at the telmarine soldiers causing them to be injured and fall off from the boat to the chilling waters. Edmund went forward to pull the boat to shore. After Peter had successfully saved the dwarf, he carried him with all his might to bring themselves back to where his siblings were. Lucy instantly used her dagger to cut off the ropes that were tying around the dwarf's hands and legs. Andrian and Aliyah just stood behind watching them in action with a worried look.

"Drop him?!" said the dwarf in fury as he threw the ropes on the sand, "That's the best you can come up with?"

"A simple 'thank you' would suffice," Susan told him.

"Are you alright?" asked Aliyah, moving closer to the dwarf to check on him but she was stopped by him.

"They were doing fine drowning me without your help," snapped the dwarf, not remembering he was going to die without the Pevensies' help.

"You could have been drowned by now if we didn't save you," Andrian snorted. As soon as he finished talking, Aliyah went on to step on his foot which he yelped in pain.

"Maybe we should have let them," Peter replied him, directly. He felt that his efforts had gone down into the drain after risking his life, saving that ungrateful dwarf. Furthermore, he could not stand the others being rude to his siblings and his friends.

"Why were they trying to kill you anyway? What is your name?" asked Lucy as she tried to decrease the tension between Peter and the dwarf.

"They're Telmarines," said the dwarf, "That's what they do. My name is Trumpkin,"

"Telmarines?" asked Edmund, "In Narnia?"

"Where have you been for the last few hundred years?" Trumpkin replied back, sort of questioning the four royals in front of him.

"It's a bit of a long story," Lucy told him, smiling.

With that, Susan handed over Peter's sword back to him and Trumpkin saw it. He could not believe his eyes. Thousands of questions came up to his mind as he began to feel curious at these young people who saved him earlier on. He then took a look at Susan's bow and the arrows she was carrying.

"Oh you've got to be kidding me," Trumpkin said slowly, "You're it? You're the Kings and Queens of Old?"

"We're not! But they are!" Andrian tried to explain to the dwarf but he just looked back at him with a blank look, "Well, I'm just trying to make a point here. We're just ordinary people," Andrian pointed to Aliyah and himself.

"I obviously know who my Kings and Queens are," said Trumpkin.

"I told you to keep quiet," Aliyah whispered to Andrian.

"High King Peter, the Magnificent," Peter introduced himself and he let out his hand while Trumpkin just stood there, not knowing what to do next.

"You probably could've left off the last bit," Susan told him while Edmund was trying to hide his smile.

"Probably," Trumpkin laughed as he agreed with his Queen.

"You might be surprised," said Peter and he drew out his sword.

"Oh, you don't want to do that boy," said Trumpkin, shaking his head as he understood what Peter meant.

"Not me," said Peter and then he looked at Edmund, "Him,"

By the time Peter had finished talking, Edmund had already took out his sword, getting ready for the friendly duel between him and Trumpkin. Trumpkin looked rather dumbfounded at the situation but he had no reasons to reject and follow what his King says.

Trumpkin took over Peter's sword and he dropped it on the sand, giving people the impression that he could not fight well. Edmund was looking rather at ease with his sword in front of him, waiting for Trumpkin to strike. However, out of a sudden, Trumpkin swung Peter's sword at Edmund who nearly jumped in shock. He ducked Trumpkin's attack but was hit by him on the eye using the sword handle.

"Edmund!" Lucy and Aliyah shouted with a worried look on their faces.

"Oh, you're alright?" mocked Trumpkin as he swung the heavy sword at Edmund again.

Luckily, Edmund was fast enough to dodge it and he went behind Trumpkin and gave him a whacked on his back, bringing a chuckle from Lucy. Both of them were already serious about it as they began to circling around each other, waiting for one of them to make the next move. Trumpkin took the chance to swing the sword at Edmund's feet but he was quick enough to jump and prevent himself from losing one or both of his legs. Edmund went on to make an attack on Trumpkin, slashing his sword as he defended all of Edmund's moves. The sound of the swords, clanking each other made the other five excited and curious who would be the winner but it deep down, they already knew who will win at the very end. It went on and on as Edmund began to increase his speed and managed to send Trumpkin's sword flying off onto the sand. He stood there, with both of his arms raised, pointing his sword at Trumpkin who was staring back at him in shock. No doubt, Edmund is still the best swordsman in Narnia from the Golden Age until now.

"Beards and bedsteads," said Trumpkin, as he fell onto the sand, "Maybe that horn worked after all,"

"What horn?" Susan asked. The others looked at Trumpkin, wanting to hear what he was going to say next.
