Chapter 14: Narnia
"Never
knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky
before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Everyday I love you more
and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me
to give you everything
Seasons may change winter to spring
But
I love you until the end of time
Come what may, come what
may
I will love you until my dying day
Suddenly the world
seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect
grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all
revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high no river
too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm
clouds may gather and stars may collide
But I love you until the
end of time
Come what may, come what may
I will love you
until my dying day
Oh come what may, come what may
I will love
you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place...
Come
what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day"

Once Edmund and Lucy were in Narnia the nymphs portrayed in the painting vanished from view and the trees stood silent.
"Do you suppose Narnia is more like the Narnia we went into through the wardrobe or more like the Narnia we were summoned to from the train station?" asked Lucy, quietly.
"Well, we managed to change the human infested Narnia back to right, so I am hoping that the nymphs were easily scared away."
"Let's go with that."
Edmund laid his jacket down, sat, and pulled Lucy on top of him. They waited for the nymphs and other fey to become accustomed to their presence.
Edmund placed his hand on Lucy's cheek. He caressed his thumb over her lips, causing her breath to catch in her throat. He led her face towards him till their lips met. He adjusted her body to have it so that she was straddling him. Edmund outlined Lucy's plumb lips with his tongue till she opened, giving him entrance.
The kiss was deep, passionate. Their tongues wrestled as Edmund pushed Lucy's soft body closer. They broke to get air.
Edmund kisses Lucy's freckles lightly, causing her to smile sweetly.
He moved down to her neck, sucking on her vein, causing her to moan.
When she moaned Edmund heard a giggle. Edmund and Lucy looked over to where they saw a young nymph.
Edmund knew nymphs were notoriously romantic and had drawn them out of hiding.
Lucy placed her hand over her forming hickey and blushed as she stumbled up off of Edmund.
"Hello" Lucy said to the nymph
The nymph giggled and replied with a whimsical "Hi"
The nymph glanced over at Edmund who was laying down, facing them, head propped up on his fist, smiling like an idiot. "Is he your soul mate?"
"Yes, he is my soul mate. This is our wedding anniversary."
"Aww that is so cute." cooed the nymph, who ran her hair through her wildly messed up curly hair green hair, pulling out one of the many flowers and handing it to Lucy. "Happy anniversary"
Lucy smiled at the beautiful nymph and said "Thank you"
She looked at Edmund and then back to Lucy and asked her "Do all humans look so alike?"
"No, not really, he is my brother."
"Oh, that explains it. You have the same nose."
Edmund laughed and said "She is not the first Narnian to point that out."
Lucy looked inquisitively at Edmund who explained "The first time I meet Mr. Tumnus, in the dungeon; he knew I was your brother for I had your nose." Lucy smiled.
"Tumnus? As in the faun who was the advisor to the kings and queens, the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve, in the Golden Age?"
"Yes, that is dear Mr. Tumnus." affirmed Lucy to the nymph.
The nymph looked carefully from Lucy to Edmund and she said, quietly, "King Edmund the Just and Queen Lucy the Valiant were married and were brother and sister."
"Are" corrected Edmund
She fell to her knees and said "Your majesties, we Narnians were told that someday King Edmund and Queen Lucy would return. I apologize for not realizing sooner."
Edmund flipped up, off the ground. He walked to stand by Lucy and they told her to stand up.
"What's your name." requested Lucy.
"My name is Tulip."
"Is King Caspian X still the Ruler?" asked Edmund, not really thinking that Caspian would still be alive, but time is unpredictable in Narnia.
"Oh no, King Caspian X died a while ago. His granddaughter rules this land."
"Who is his granddaughter?" asked Lucy.
"Queen Kara Caspian the Mighty." replied Tulip, "The Kingdom is right over there." she said motioning to behind Edmund and Lucy, they turned around and saw Cair Paravel, as it was in the time of the Golden Age. They looked at each other and then towards the Kingdom and Edmund said "Well that's different."
"No, that's the same." whispered Lucy.
"Prince Caspian recreated before the end of his reign." informed Tulip
"To Cair Paravel?"
"To Queen Kara"
