They came within distance of Dark Island. There was thunder heard, and clouds had surrounded the island. However, the sun was still out. Eustace flew closer to the ship.
"So, what do you think is in there?" asked Tavros. Edmund had a worried look on his face. He looked at Peter who had the same expression.
"Our worst nightmares," said Edmund. Aleeah looked at him and then back at the island.
"Our darkest wishes," said Caspian. Susan had taken his hand after he said that. He looked to her and held tight onto her hand.
"Pure evil," said Drinian as he looked to the seven. He walked away from his spot at the helm and walked over to Tavros. "Tavros, unlock the armory."
"My lord," was his reply. As the Minotaur walked down the stairs, Drinian shouted to the crew: "Archers, prepare yourselves."
"Aye, Captain," said one of the crew. Everyone began to move.
"Light the lanterns," Tavros had said.
Caspian looked to his friends. "Let's get ready." Everybody walked down the stairs. The boys headed into the chart room as the girls went into their quarters.
Aleeah had been pulling her hair back in a French braid with her bangs left out. Susan had been putting on her quiver and fixing her hair as she did for the Narnian Revolution. Lucy was fixing her vest. Gael was sitting on the bed, watching them.
"When I grow up, I want to be just like you. All of you," she said. The three older girls looked at her and smiled.
"When you grow up…" said Lucy as they each walked towards her. Lucy took her left, Susan took her right, and Aleeah kneeled in front of her.
"You should be just like-" said Susan.
"You," finished Aleeah.
Susan and Lucy wrapped their arms around the girl as Aleeah took her hands. Lucy took a deep breath. She remembered her dream. Aleeah saw this and took Lucy's hand.
"I wish I had sisters like you. I'm the oldest in my family, with only a brother," Aleeah said. Susan and Lucy smiled.
"You never know. You can always be an in-law," said Lucy. Aleeah shook her head as Lucy lightly laughed and Susan smiled brightly.
"We'd love to have you as a sister, Aleeah. You're basically one, already," said Susan. Aleeah smiled and they enveloped each other in a hug, including Gael.
The boys were in the chart room. Caspian was putting on his chest armor, Peter was strapping his on himself, Rylie was putting on a boot, and Edmund was just about to put his armor on. Caspian looked up at them, struggling to get out what he wanted to say.
"In case we don't get through whatever this is," he said. Edmund and Peter looked up at him. "I want you both to know I think of you as my brothers."
Peter and Edmund smiled. "Us too, Caspian," said Peter.
"Who knows, we just might be in-laws," said Edmund. Caspian shook his head while Peter smiled brightly and Edmund lightly laughed.
"I've gotten closer to you all," said Rylie. "And… it's been a real honor to meet you."
"It's an honor to meet the one who's been helping keep peace in Narnia," said Edmund. Each of them smiled. Peter helped Edmund with his armor.
"You gave up your sword," said Caspian.
"It wasn't mine to keep," replied Edmund. Caspian handed Peter Rhindon just as Aleeah came through the door.
"Hey," she said calmly. Everyone smiled at her. "Use this," she said. They all looked at her. She smiled and walked up to Edmund. She handed out her best sword to him.
"But it's-"
"I want you to use it," she said. He grabbed it and took it. She smiled at them and nodded.
"Whatever happens, don't give into the temptations," she said. Everyone nodded. It was time.
Eustace flew above the ship with Reepicheep on his back. "There it is, my friend," the noble mouse said. "Our battle awaits."
Eustace's eyes widened in fear and he turned around to turn and fly away. "Eustace, no! Halt! Eustace, stop! Stop!"
Eustace did stop, which caused Reepicheep to flip over and land on his nose facing him. "I will not accept surrender. A noble warrior does not run from fear. Look at me! Look at me when I'm talking to you!"
Eustace's eyes were down which he cast upward and growled. "I am a mouse," said Reepicheep. "You, you're a dragon. You've got skin like chain mail, you breathe fire." He went back to his position on Eustace's head behind his ears. "Come on," he said drawing his sword, "let's meet our destiny."
And with that, Eustace flew back towards the island.
The ship was getting closer to the island, everyone's heart racing. Everyone was on deck, and Caspian stood on the platform by the head. "No matter what happens here, every soul who stands before me has earned their place on the crew of the Dawn Treader," spoke Caspian. Every single one of the crew members looked up at him, including his six friends. "Together we have traveled far. Together we had faced adversity. Together we can do it again." He looked at everyone, but looked especially at his group of friends. "So now is not the time to fall to fear's temptations. Be strong. Never give in." Edmund and Peter looked at him proudly, as well as Susan. She had goose bumps as she heard him speak. Aleeah couldn't have been any prouder. Rylie was smiling, his fear being uplifted. Lucy smiled brighter than anyone. "Our world… our Narnian lives depend on it." He paused for a moment, looking at everyone. "Think of the lost souls we're here to save." Rhince had looked down and thought of his wife. Lucy wrapped her arm around Gael, thinking of Gael's mother. "Think of Aslan. Think of Narnia."
As Caspian started to step down, Drinian had shouted, "For Narnia!"
Then everyone started shouting, "FOR NARNIA!" Everybody raised their arms and weapons into the air and Caspian looked up at them.
"FOR NARNIA!" Lucy and Aleeah shouted loudly. Susan had a small tear roll down her face; this was the king they had fought for. Caspian looked up at them, not believing what he was hearing. He looked at his friends and saw them smiling brightly, entirely moved by his speech.
As they entered the island, it was dark and misty. It was eerily dark. You could hear the ship creek its way through the murky waters. No one could see. At least, they couldn't see much. Green mist started coming from ahead, but no one noticed it completely. It headed towards the ship, aiming for everyone. People did see it, but paid it no mind. It aimed for everyone. Rhince saw a mist of his wife, who was laughing, coming towards him.
"Helaine," he spoke but she went right through him.
"I can't see a thing," said Drinian as he squinted his eyes. "This fog's too thick."
Caspian saw the mist and looked around. He seemed confused, until he heard a voice. "You are a great disappointment to me. You call yourself my son, then act like a king." It was his father.
"You think I'd ever love you?" He turned again and saw a mist form of Susan. "What we had… it was never really anything." His heart broke until the real Susan pulled him out of his reverie.
"Don't give in," she said. She looked at him with bravery in her eyes, something he admired. She kissed him gently on the lips before holding his hand and watching out.
Just then, they're hands had parted and she heard a voice. "You're not loved by anyone, not even your friends and family." She turned about and saw mist versions of her friends and Caspian. The real Caspian took her hand and kissed her gently. She pulled out of her reverie of the mist and held on tight to Caspian.
"Edmund, come with me." A mist form came towards Edmund. "Be my king." It was Jadis. "I'll let you rule."
"Go away. You're dead," said Edmund as he talked to the mist.
"You can never kill me. I'll always be alive in your mind, silly boy," replied the mist.
"No!" he shouted fiercely.
"Edmund?" He turned around and saw Aleeah standing very close to him with worried eyes. "Are you all right?"
"Yeah," he replied. She looked about, still worried. She leaned in and kissed his cheek, which caused his cheeks to go red. Once she backed away, he was about to say something before they heard a man yelling in the distance.
Everyone started crowding to the side of the ship, as they tried to find who was shouting.
"Keep away!" the man shouted. "Keep away!"
"Who's there?" asked Peter.
"We do not fear you," said Susan in a strong voice.
"Nor I you," replied the man.
Edmund took his flashlight and turned it on. He shone it about, trying to find the source of the voice. It was then that he kept the light on a man who stood against a rock.
"Keep away!" he shouted again. Caspian had seen the person they have found.
"We will not leave," Caspian said.
"You will not defeat me," stated the man. He held a sword in his hands, getting ready as if he were going to strike.
"Caspian," said Rylie. "Caspian, his sword."
The man got out of his battle stance as he heard the name. Caspian looked at the man. "Lord Rhoop," he said, rushing down the stairs with Susan beside him.
The man started to run along the rock. "You do not own me!"
"Stand down," Aleeah had said and the crew lowered their weapons.
"Let's get him on board, quickly," said Peter.
"Help him up," ordered Drinian.
"Ready, sir," said a crewman. Three crewmembers started readying the grappling hooks before Rhoop had been taken into the flying arms of Eustace. He brought the lord onto the ship and the crew made sure he safely got onto the ground.
"Be calm, my lord," said Lucy.
"Off me, demon!" Rhoop shouted as he held the sword in his hand ready to strike.
"No, my lord," said Caspian. "We are not here to hurt you. I am your king, Caspian."
Rhoop's eyes widened not in horror, but in shock and bewilderment. "Caspian?" he whispered. Rhoop turned to face Caspian and practically went to tears. "My lord?" He moved his hand to touch Caspian's face. He stood up and said, "You should not have come. There's no way out of here. Quickly turn this ship about, before it's too late."
"We have the sword, let's go," said Susan.
"Let's turn her about, Drinian," said Peter.
"Aye-aye, Your Majesty," replied Drinian.
Rhoop turned around. "Do not think. Do not let it know your fears or it will become them."
Just then Edmund closed his eyes. "Oh, no."
"Edmund, what did you just think of?" Susan asked.
"Oh, I'm sorry," he said. He went to the other side of the ship to check the waters.
"You didn't?" Aleeah asked incredulously. However, Edmund didn't reply; he watched the water. He saw what looked like rocks suddenly move under the water. The ship was thrown to the side, causing everyone to fall. Peter grabbed Lucy, Caspian grabbed Susan, and Edmund grabbed Aleeah. Aleeah then helped Rylie up.
"Look!" shouted Caspian who was holding onto Susan as he pointed out into the water.
"What is that?" asked Susan.
"It's too late. It's too late!" Rhoop shouted. Gael backed away from the side, and into the middle of the deck.
"It's gone under the boat!" shouted a crewman.
Lucy turned around with a worried look on her face. "Gael!" she screamed.
Gael was on the other side as the water suddenly burst upward and a sea serpent appeared. Gael screamed as the sea serpent screeched. Aleeah looked at Lucy and then at Gael. Aleeah ran for it. Everyone turned to see the monstrous thing and drew their weapons.
"Aleeah!" shouted Edmund. The people backed away as Aleeah ran for Gael. Aleeah slid on the floor as the ship was thrown back again. She reached Gael just in time.
"Run!" Aleeah shouted.
Gael ran to Lucy and Lucy held her.
Eustace flew out of the mist and towards the sea serpent. "Don't let me down. No fear. No retreat," said Reepicheep.
"Hold fast!" shouted Drinian as the serpent screeched even more.
Edmund grabbed Aleeah's wrist and hoisted her up. Together with their swords drawn, they covered Lucy. Eustace then swooped down and breathed fire at the creature. He roared the fire out of his mouth, causing the thing to screech in pain. Edmund watched Eustace as Aleeah kept hold of Lucy and Gael. The serpent thrashed about, breaking a net. Eustace had climbed onto the thing's back, clawing at it and roaring.
"For Narnia!" screamed Reepicheep as he pierced his tiny sword into the flesh of the monster. "Take that and that!" The creature continued to screech. Reepicheep was then thrown off the monster and onto a rope on the ship. "Eustace, hang on."
The serpent thrashed its head and threw Eustace off. Eustace still kept up, for his wings made him fly (obviously). As Eustace flew back towards the creature, the serpent grabbed him with its mouth and took him under. Everyone went to the side to see it. The Pevensies were BEYOND worried, they were hyperventilating. They saw the serpent slam Eustace against a rock, leaving the boy turned into a dragon tired and hurt. Lucy, Susan, and Aleeah all had worried looks on their faces. Eustace looked at the creature, and before it could attack, he breathed fire once more into its face.
The thing screeched even more, and then ducked under the water. Eustace stood atop the rock, or was trying to do so.
"Out, creature!" shouted Rhoop as he pushed Caspian and Susan aside. He had the sword in hand. Rhoop threw the sword towards Eustace.
"No! The sword! The sword!" shouted Rylie.
The sword hit Eustace in his arm and instantly the girls shouted, "Eustace!"
Eustace roared and went back down onto the rock. Then he flew away.
"No! Come back!" shouted Aleeah.
Everyone watched as Eustace the dragon flew away.
"We're doomed! We're doomed! Turn this ship about!" shouted Rhoop.
"Stop him!" shouted a crewmember. "Someone stop him!"
Rhoop had taken control of the helm and Drinian looked at Rhoop. Rhoop turned the ship, causing everyone to tip the other way. Caspian held onto Susan as they both tipped slightly backwards. Drinian punched Rhoop who immediately went down.
"Now crew," ordered Drinian, "to your rowing positions." He had taken control at the helm. "Oars at double speed!"
Lucy looked up at the dark cloudy gray sky. "Aslan, please help us," Lucy thought in her mind. Just then, a tiny bit of sky had cleared up and a bird cried. It was a seagull, a seagull Lucy had once seen.
Down below, people were rowing. "Pull!" shouted Reepicheep. "Pull!"
Eustace was flying way, clutching the arm that had gotten hit. He flew out of Dark Island and onto a very small barren island nearby. He collapsed into the sand.
Just then the serpent burst out of the water again and quickly made its way to the Dawn Treader.
"Pull! Put your back into it!" shouted Reepicheep.
Just then the serpent jump out at one side of the ship and down the other. People jumped out of the way and dived onto the floor.
"Gael, come on! This way!" shouted Lucy as she had taken Gael's hand and they ran. Caspian and Susan were running up the stairs.
Peter and Rylie were on the ground, soaking wet from the serpent. They had dived out of the way.
Edmund was running his way through the constriction of the serpent. Things were exploding at him. Aleeah had been on the other side, doing the same thing. The serpent constricted the ship, wounding it tighter and tighter. People down below had fallen, as well as people on deck.
Lucy and Gael were in the room where they had retrieved their gifts from Caspian, Aleeah, and Rylie. "Now you must stay here until someone comes and gets you. Okay?" Lucy said. Gael was crying and held onto something.
The serpent showed its head and Caspian was at the helm. Caspian saw a rock, a giant rock that would be able to help. Susan saw it too and had the same idea.
"Ed! Ed. We'll ram the serpent. Smash him on the rocks," Susan said. Caspian looked at her with admiration but kept focus.
"Steer her to port. I'll keep it on the prow," replied Edmund.
Edmund ran across the deck and Aleeah watched. Aleeah, Peter, and Rylie made their way up to the helm, watching Edmund.
"Look out!" The serpent dove for someone.
"Edmund!" Aleeah screamed.
Lucy made her way out under deck and out to her friends and family. Edmund climbed to the dragon head, getting the serpent to follow him.
"Forward! Come on! Pull!" shouted Reepicheep who was still getting people to row.
Edmund slid down onto the dragon head's tongue and got his flashlight. He shined the light on the serpent, trying to get its attention. The serpent turned in front of the ship and looked at Edmund. Edmund's sword was drawn and he pointed the flashlight.
"Try and kill me! Come on!" he persisted the serpent.
"Edmund!" shouted Peter.
"Come on! I'm here!"
The serpent dove for the dragon's mouth, trying to get Edmund.
"Edmund!" Aleeah screamed.
"No!"shouted Lucy and Susan.
"Edmund!" shouted Peter and Caspian.
The serpent bit off the top mouth of the dragon head, but Edmund was still safe. They were getting closer towards the rocks. The serpent threw the chunk he had gotten into the water and went back to Edmund. Caspian was by the helm, getting the ship moving. He and Peter were both working on it. Edmund climbed out of the dragon's mouth.
Susan had taken her bow and taken an arrow out. She stretched the string and got ready.
"Archers ready yourselves!" ordered Drinian. Caspian looked at her and thought back. It was the revolution all over again.
She aimed and waited.
The beast chomped at Edmund. "I'm still here!" he shouted.
Susan breathed, cleared her mind, and with a fierce look she let go of the string. The red feathered tipped arrow flew in the air, past the creature's tail and into the serpent's eye. Edmund had taken a breath and looked back.
"Brace yourselves!" Peter shouted. The ship rammed the serpent against the rocks. The serpent's head was thrown forward, causing Edmund to jump. He fell onto the ground, tumbling onto the deck. As the ship backed a bit, green mist came out of the beast.
Eustace opened his eyes, and saw something coming towards him. It came closer and closer. Eustace lie on the floor, but got up with a heavy breath. A lion stood before him on the island. The lion stood majestically and looked at Eustace. Eustace clawed at his skin, as if he were trying to get rid of it. Suddenly, the lion started clawing the ground. As the lion clawed the ground, claw marks appeared on Eustace. The lion clawed deeper in and more. More claw scratches appeared on Eustace. It was as if the lion was clawing away at Eustace's dragon skin. The lion scratched one more time and Eustace was on his hind legs. Then the lion roared loudly, causing Eustace to blow away. The clawed skin was in a way coming off. Eustace was blown off of the ground and was flying in the air. His body changed, and so did the scenery. He was now on an earthy ground, and was once again a human boy. He landed first face on the ground.
The serpent continued to screech at the ship. But it was glowing green on the inside. Aleeah was at Edmund's side.
"Edmund! Edmund!" she practically shouted. He sat up a bit and opened his eyes. Once he looked up at her, she pulled him in for a tight hug. He hugged her back, stroking her wet hair. She was so close to tears. Peter helped them up and Peter clapped Edmund's shoulder.
But then they looked up at the sea serpent to see that it was not dead. If anything, it had just split its body open to use as another weapon. Aleeah looked up at it as well as Edmund. Peter saw them and shouted. "Move!"
The serpent lunged at Edmund but Peter and Aleeah had pushed him down. Peter looked up and grabbed the closest thing to him. He grabbed a sword and chopped off a part of the serpent. Edmund, Peter, and Aleeah looked up to see the serpent screeching in pain as it pulled back up. They looked back to the part he had cut off and it disappeared. Edmund and Aleeah had stood up while Peter was still on his knees. Caspian came up to them and saw the part of the beast disappear.
"We can beat this," Caspian said as he still looked at the spot the thing just was.
Eustace woke up and looked around. He felt his abdomen, where the sword should be. But he looked behind him to see it there. He picked it up and looked at it.
The serpent still thrashed around, its teeth getting caught in the mast.
"We have to get it closer," said Aleeah. Susan, Lucy, Peter, and Rylie circled around them.
"All hands to the main deck," ordered Drinian.
Caspian looked up at the creature. "Ready the harpoons." He looked at Susan, who had a fierce look on her face. She smiled slightly before helping to the harpoons.
The serpent was bringing the ship down as it tried to free its teeth. Edmund was about to go on a rope before Aleeah called him. He looked at her.
"Don't die. I need you to come back," she said. He nodded looked at Peter.
"Take Rhindon. You'll probably need it," he said.
"Don't worry, Pete, I'm not going to lose it," Edmund replied. Edmund took the sword and ran off the deck and jumped onto the rope. He climbed onto what's left of the safety net and started climbing up to the crow's nest.
Eustace started running past the bridge on Ramandu's island.
"Ready?!" shouted Susan. Each of them had a harpoon, getting ready to throw.
"Aye!" shouted crewmembers. Caspian looked at Susan who nodded. He looked at Peter, Lucy, Rylie, and Aleeah, who all nodded at him.
"Now!" Caspian shouted. Each of them threw the harpoons into the beast's body. The serpent screeched and thrashed. Its teeth had been free, but now it was caught by harpoons.
"Pull its head down!" ordered Peter.
Everyone started tugging on the ropes to the harpoons, doing their best. As they did, Edmund was making his way up.
Eustace ran past the tree trunk shaped doorway and came upon Aslan's Table. He saw and heard swords at the end of the table clattering and turning blue. The sword Eustace was holding was turning blue as well. He walked closer and closer to the six of the seven swords, getting ready to place it on the table.
Edmund made it up to the crow's nest.
Eustace continued to walk forward, but he didn't notice the green mist coming up from behind.
Everyone was pulling the ropes with all of their might.
"Heave!" shouted Peter and Caspian. Everyone was getting close to pulling the beast's head down. The head knocked against Edmund, causing him to almost fall.
As Eustace made his way closer, so did the green mist. Just as he was about to place it, the green mist grabbed him and pulled him back.
"Edmund," said a voice. The green mist of the White Witch had come again. Edmund watched the form, fear taking over his eyes. "What are you trying to prove, Edmund? That you're a man?"
Eustace started thrashing the sword about, trying to clear the blurriness the mist was creating for him. He thrashed about as he stood up, doing his best to clear the mist.
"Edmund!" Caspian's voice was slightly muted.
"Ed!" shouted Peter.
"Keep pulling!" shouted Rylie.
They kept trying to pull the thing down. They pulled back and heaved.
"Do it!"
"I can make you that," said the Witch. "I can make you my king." She extended her hand. "Just take my hand."
The thing that kept the harpoons in place broke off, giving the beast freedom from its hold. People stumbled forward and some to the side. Susan had been thrown forwards and onto the ground as she got hit with some splintered chunks of wood. Rylie and Peter had stumbled forwards as well, almost falling into the water. Lucy and Aleeah had been thrown to the side, nearly knocked unconscious. Caspian had helped Susan up and cleared off the planks of wood.
Eustace continued to thrash about, getting the sword to where it should be. He started using moves Reepicheep had taught him to use. The swords were clattering and shining a brighter blue. The mist tried to cover Eustace's sight, but he got up and lunged. He placed the sword right where it should be.
"Just give in," said the Witch to Edmund.
Eustace stood up and blue light shot up into the sky from the swords.
Rhindon started glowing blue as well and the mist of the White Witch looked at it. The light shone brighter and brighter.
"Edmund! Do it!" shouted Aleeah.
Edmund looked to the serpent and pointed the sword at it. "Come on!"
The serpent lunged forward and Edmund thrust the sword into the roof of the monster's mouth. It started to screech terribly. The green mist of the White Witch also screamed. "No!"
Edmund yelled and blue electricity sparked about the fiend. Edmund retracted the sword. Blue electric bolts shot into the sky as the serpent fell backwards into the water, finally defeated. It sank to the bottom, being left there to rot.
The dark and gloomy gray skies opened up. Bright rays of clear skies and sunshine poked through.
"The spell… it's lifting," said Lucy. "Everybody, look!"
As Edmund was coming down, and everybody else was getting up, they saw clear skies… and boats heading their way. The blue light at the Aslan's Table began to falter, and the three lords sitting in front of it were taken out of their sleep.
"Narnians!" shouted Rylie. "Narnians!" Everybody started cheering aloud and clapping.
Rhince and Gael made their way through the crowd and Lucy watched. Lucy walked over to Gael, who was looking for her mother.
"Mummy!" Gael shouted.
"Helaine!" shouted Rhince.
Gael and Rhince started swimming towards the boat that carried the woman they've been searching for. Edmund wrapped his arms around Susan and Lucy, as Peter wrapped his arms around Lucy. Caspian wrapped his arms around Aleeah and Rylie as they looked out at the family. The three Telemarines separated to help out.
"Rhince!" shouted Helaine. "Gael!"
"Mummy!"
Gael had reached her mother and they hugged. Gael was close to tears. Rhince kissed his wife and they hugged as a family.
"Let's have them on board! Clear the decks," said Caspian. He was walking one direction before Susan took his hand and brought him close to her. He smiled and wrapped an arm around her waist as they looked at the family. Aleeah and Rylie stood by them as well, looking at the boats.
Lucy looked at all of them. "We did it. I know we would."
"It wasn't just us, though, Lu," said Peter.
"You mean…" started Aleeah.
"Hey! Hey, I'm down here, Susan, Lucy." Eustace came swimming up to the ship. "Over here!" The seven turned around and went to the other side.
"Hey, Susan, Lucy! I'm in the water. Hello?"
"Eustace!" exclaimed Susan.
"I'm a boy again," he said.
"Well we can see that," joked Rylie. They all laughed, even Eustace.
"Eustace!" popped up Reepicheep. "I see your wings have been clipped. Ha ha!" Reepicheep too jumped into the water.
"Where the sky and water meet, where the waves grow ever sweet…" Just then Reepicheep and Eustace had tasted the water. "It is sweet. It's sweet!"
Everyone on deck smiled brightly. "Look! Look!" said Reepicheep. In the distance you could see what looked like a white sea.
"Aslan's Country," said Aleeah.
"We must be close," said Caspian.
"Well, we've come this far," said Susan. She looked up at Caspian and grabbed his hand. He brought her hand up to his lips and kissed it. They smiled at each other before looking out at the sea.
Edmund walked up to Aleeah and smiled. "I'm back and alive."
"I know you are. Thank Aslan for that," she said.
"You were pretty worried about me, weren't you?" he asked, smirking. She playfully pushed him and shook her head.
"I was only worried because it's my duty to protect the Kings and Queens of Narnia, whoever they may be," she replied.
"Sure, that's the reason."
Aleeah shook her head before walking way. She stopped and turned around. She walked back up to him and quickly pecked him on the lips. "I'm glad you're safe," she said before walking briskly away with a smile on her face.
He stood there a bit dazed. Peter came over to stand next to his brother and watched him watch Aleeah walk away to help the crew members. Peter smiled and waved his hand in front of Edmund's face; when Edmund had no response to it, Peter slapped the back of his head. Edmund scowled and looked at his brother, who crossed his arms with a wide grin on his face.
"What?" Edmund asked as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Nothing. Just admiring the fact that you love Aleeah," Peter replied smirking. Edmund's eyes widened to which Peter laughed to and walked away.
"When I saw you in your stance… it brought back memories," said Caspian.
"Really? How so?" asked Susan.
"I remembered the Revolution. When you led the archers. I remember when you almost fell," said Caspian. Susan nodded and kissed his cheek. "I also remember how brave you truly are, and how you always fight for those you love."
She smiled and kissed his bearded cheek again. She laughed slightly and he smiled. "I should really shave if every time you kiss my cheek you're going to laugh," he said. And she laughed whole-heartedly.
"I don't mind," she replied. He looked into her eyes and they both leaned in.
Their lips met once again in a soft gentle kiss. Susan's hand was behind his neck, bringing him down closer and his arms were somewhat around her waist. Suddenly, they heard whooping, whistling, cheering, and giggling. They broke apart and found that they crew was watching them and cheering them on. Even Drinian was clapping. Aleeah was whooping and giggling. Edmund and Peter were whooping and whistling a lot. Rylie just clapped. Lucy was giggling like crazy.
All that was left was one small adventure.
