Epilogue

There was much jubilation in Narnia when Prince Rilian, the son of Peter and Liliandil, Ramandu's daughter, married the daughter of King Caspian and Queen Susan, Princess Elissa. There was some sadness that Liliandil and Peter were not there to join in the celebrations, for Liliandil, some years previously, had died from a snakebite, and not even a drop of Queen Lucy's cordial could save her. When Rilian had disappeared, and Peter, Caspian and Susan could not find him in all of the land of Narnia and in the neighbouring countries, Peter had finally sailed in search of Aslan's country to seek answers. He had not returned, and it was said that he had passed into Aslan's country and would not be seen again in Narnia. His son, however, had returned to his land with the help of Queen Susan's cousin Eustace and his companion, and it was with much rejoicing that he was welcomed home by his uncle and aunt. Their joy increased when he asked for the hand of his cousin in marriage, and their wedding was the cause of much celebration in that happy land.

"Blessings upon your children and your children's children," spoke Aslan softly as the pair wed. "Your line will last through all ages until Narnia is no more, and the very stars fall from the sky."

Susan turned to Caspian and smiled. "I think it is time, dearest."

He nodded, and they kissed the pair, and turned to Aslan. "It is indeed time, dear ones, for you to follow me to my country. Your kingdom is in good hands, and your line assured. Leave, now, knowing that all is well in the land of Narnia, and that you will never more be parted."

And so it was that Caspian, Tenth of that name, and his beloved wife, Queen Susan the Gentle, passed into Aslan's country, and were seen no more in the land of Narnia.
