I just briefly wanted to address a few question I have received in my reviews so I could kind of clear some things up with you guys. I'll try and make this short. Sorry.
First, I thought this story up entirely myself I didn't get any ideas from any other books or from anyone else. Second, Koyuki sounds like an Anime name and I do apologize if that bothers some people I purely used the name for its meaning which is little snow. I thought it tied in well to the character I created. And third, as for if Koy has any powers or how the relationships Edmund has work out will be revealed eventually in the next chapters ;) Thank you guys so much the support. It keeps me writing.
Here you go I hope you enjoy. I am not CS Lewis.
"Edmund!" his voice sounded more joyful than it did before we had our weapons pointed at each other.
I smiled and hugged him while shaking his hand. "Caspian."
"Where's Lucy...and your little cousin?" He asked looking around, suddenly catching sight of Koy. He stared at her with curiosity before looking back at me. "Who is your friend?"
"It's just me," I started before turning to Koy. "Caspian this is my friend Koyuki, Koy this is King Caspian."
Koy bowed, her carmine hair flowing over her face. "Your majesty."
"Any friend of Edmund's is a friend of mine. Let me introduce you to my wife Lilliandil," Caspian said and I recognized the woman now standing before us.
"You're the blue star, the one who led us to Ramandu's Island before-" I stopped short not wanting to relive the memories of letting Jadis get to me.
"Oh yes, King Edmund nice to meet you again and Koy such a pleasure my dear." Her voice was soft and high, it sounded musical almost.
"Come, let's head back to the castle so we can finish this conversation. You two can take Lilliandil's horse back."
Caspian sat opposite me in his study while we waited for Lilliandil to come back with Koy from getting cleaned up and changed out of her white grass stained dress.
"Where is Lucy and the others? Why just you?" he asked, intrigued.
He was there when Aslan had told us we weren't coming back. All of us had excepted that but now that I'm back things aren't making much sense. I leaned forward resting my elbows on my knees, staring at the stone floor.
"I'm here, believe it or not, on my own business. I somehow managed to bring myself here."
"What business?" Caspian questioned.
"I'm looking for a book, it's the last book of Charn. The only one that survived it's destruction."
Caspian nodded silently, contemplating my answer. Resting back in his chair he rubbed his chin as if forming his sentence before he said it. "Why do you need it? Why now after all this time?"
It was my turn to sit and contemplate. I had to form my answer carefully, or I could just tell him the truth which would open a floodgate of questions. I opened my mouth to speak, still conflicted with what I had to say, when Koy and Lilliandil came in with glowing smiles. Of course on etiquette Caspian and I stood to welcome them in.
"Catching up?" Lilliandil asked, before kissing Caspian lightly.
To be perfectly honest I'm almost glad he and Susan never got together, not that it would've ever worked out but just because it didn't seem like something that was supposed to be. As if Caspian remembered Susan was my 'sister', he cleared his throat and shifted his feet.
"Edmund was just telling me why he was here. It is a fascinating story."
Koy remained quiet next to me looking beautiful in a lavender and cream dress. I smiled at her softly before turning back Caspian with a sigh.
"My reasons for the book aren't easily explained in a few sentences," I started. Maybe that was stretching the truth but the to-the-point answer isn't all that great. "I just need the book so I can get back home to Lucy and Eustace."
Koy looked slightly saddened by my words and I saw Lilliandil notice it too. Caspian nodded and came closer to me. "We have time for an explanation Edmund, but I guess that can be done on our way to retrieve the book."
"You know where is it?" I asked, both surprised and relieved.
"It's a full day's journey from here in the treasury of an old fortress of my father's."
I felt weighed down and slightly terrified as I shook his hand agreeing to tell him the truth. Koy gave me a small smile as if to encourage me, I only wish I knew how she acted as if she could read my mind.
Thank you for reading, it means a lot. Please review!
