A Myriad of Endings

New A/N: I forgot how much I love this story. It still makes me want to go awww several times. : ) (23/07/2012)

Old A/N: I did not have internet access for quite a while, then I had to get ready for school. So imagine my suprise when I open up my email and found that I had more reviews for one chapter than the rest of my stories put together.

Thanks to Anime Princess and Esueno for reading.

Thanks to JaggerK, ittzumi, and princessfaramier for reviewing.

Thanks to milkcup for the great review, they get more because the review was longer.

Thanks to Miniver for the long review. I hope you enjoy this last part as much as the previous ones.

And last but certainly not least, thanks to imakeladrygirl for that first review and all the ones in between then and now.

And now, the conclusion.

Lucy

It is impossible to tell time in New Narnia, so I have no idea how much passed before I saw a glimmer of golden mane and a swirl of purple dress, and at that moment I felt the hope of ages flood into my soul.

I could see a form pressed against The Lion. The arms, covered in purple, tangled in that golden mane. Then I gathered my strength, I was supposed to be Valiant after all, and spoke one word that was a question, a prayer and a thanks all in one.

"Susan?" Then I knew, I could see the smile on The Lions face, I recognized that long brown hair, I remembered that beautiful purple dress.

"Susan!" I knew I must have been bellowing by this point but I truly did not care. "You're here!" I wrapped my arms around her and promised myself to never let go. I am not sure when he got there, but I could feel Edmund's arms joining in the tangle and his shouts of joy at seeing Susan. For a moment all I felt was utter joy but then I remembered, we still had one thing left to do.

Standing up, I grabbed Susan's hand and lead her toward the Dancing Lawn. As soon as I had maneuvered her next to Peter I grabbed Edmund's hand and we began to dance. I did not need to see them dancing to know they were joining us. All I needed to feel was the wholeness my heart had been missing to know that everything was as it should be.

Edmund

I cannot say how long we were in New Narnia, it is impossible to tell time here, when I saw Aslan standing in a meadow and felt a thrill of hope.

Maybe, just maybe…

I got there just in time to see Lucy wrapping her arms around Susan and Aslan I paused a moment then joined in the pile. "Susan!" I knew I must have been shouting, with so much joy in my heart I doubt I could have done anything else. "It's really you!"

The next thing I knew we, Lucy, Susan, Susan, and I, were walking toward the Dancing Lawn. I felt Lucy tug my hand and I let her lead me to the clearing. A feeling of peace settled over me as we danced. Then it finally sunk in, our sister was home, we were together, we were one.

Peter

Sometime later I found my way back to the Dancing Lawn. Edmund and Lucy had disappeared to some faraway place, no doubt remembering all that was and is. Then I felt a presence behind me and felt a spark of hope ignite inside my soul.

She was beside me. The one who had so long refused the love we three had offered her, the one who, I had believed, would never allow herself to come here. I could see Edmund being led by Lucy toward the clearing and stepped up beside Susan. Then I asked a question I had been waiting to ask for far too long: "Dance with me gentle sister?" I held out my hand, praying that she was the sister she used to be. I felt her hand in mine and slowly I lead Susan in to the clearing, where we joined our siblings, a family once more.

Susan

I thought I heard a blaring car horn, but it sounded far away, then everything faded away 'till there was nothing left but obliterating darkness.

"Welcome home, my daughter." The words from my dream last night echoed in my mind. The black slowly became a mottled green and yellow pattern. Then, as my eyes opened and the world came into focus, the green became leaves and the yellow was a splash of summer sunshine streaming through them. As I turned to look around me, wondering what had happened to Finchley, I saw something I had been praying to see for many a day.

"Aslan!" I cried, wrapping my arms around his neck and burring my face in his golden mane. "Oh, Aslan I've missed you."

"I never left you my daughter, I was just waiting for you to look." Hearing his voice banished any reserves I had about my new surroundings.

"Susan?" Lucy's hopeful and questioning voice floated into my ears. "Susan! You're here!" In the next moment I found myself being squished between The Lion and my baby sister, a position I certainly did not mind. I managed to untangle myself from the golden hair only to turn-around and become tangled in approximately four arms.

"Susan! It's really you!" Edmunds voice came from somewhere behind my head, he sounded so utterly happy that I knew I could not be anywhere but home.

Suddenly all support disappeared and I found my self flat on the ground. "Susan come on!" A smaller hand grabbed mine and I found myself being hauled to my feet. "Susan, come quickly!" Looking around I realized that Lucy was trying to lead me to a crowed of people. The faint music wafting through the trees seemed so familiar that I knew I had heard it, I simply could not remember where. Lucy then promptly let go of my hand and allowed Edmund to lead her into the clearing where at least twenty couples were dancing a familiar dance, Lucy's dance my mind provided.

"Dance with me gentle sister?" Peter's quiet voice came from beside me and his hand was in front of me, open, hoping. Taking it, I joined my family on the Dancing Lawn and danced our dance, Lucy's dance, the dance.

Old A/N: Please review, I am considering writing a chapter where they meet the parents again, but I am not sure how that would work. If you want to read it please review, and if you don't, review anyway. :) And please read "The Way" the Spring series is actually quite good if I do say so myself.
