Farewell to Terabithia

Lauren's P.O.V.:

I woke up in my bed at Raymond's castle still happy for him about the coronation ball last night and the fireworks that announced his kingship in celebration. I smiled and got out of bed with some of his ladies waiting for me. "Good morning Your Majesty," one of the servants said to me. "Good morning ladies," I greeted. "How did you sleep," another one asked. "Very well thank you," I replied. "Your bath is drawn Your Majesty," the head servant told me. "Thank you ladies. You may place my dress on the bed," I told them as I went into the bath room. They curtsied and soon left to do my chore while they gossiped of course. With my bath robe on around me and my gown I smelled the wonderful scent of vanilla and hibiscus flowers. Taking off my robe and my gown gently over my head along with garments I had underneath felt like a breeze to me. With everything off, I went into the bath and let some of the servants in the room wash my hair clean as I sat back remembering we would be going home today. I'm going to miss Terabithia but I'm so glad we came here to help Raymond. I wonder how Logan is doing.

Logan's P.O.V.:

I woke up this morning to sunshine in my chamber and a big smiled spread across my face and I was so happy. I also remembered we were leaving Terabithia today and heading back home to Los Angeles and Narnia. I feel bad for leaving the kingdom of our allies but it was great helping them overcome a problem they had. I soon got myself out of bed and went over to the bath room for my bath and soon took everything off and laid in the warm water of the tub as I relaxed while the servants worked on my hair. I feel a little upset about leaving today but it's what we have to do. I know Raymond is in good hands of ruling and we will be there if he needs us. I soon got out of the tub and placed a towel around me as I walked back in my room. I wonder how Jayden is doing.

Jayden's P.O.V.:

I finished my bath a few hours ago and was dressed in a Terabathian style tunic with a velvet green and maroon sleeves with a brown leather belt around the waist. I also had my sword by my side with the belt as well to give it that look. I had brown pants thanks to Logan and of course brown medieval shoes on my feet. The final part that topped the whole look was a silver crown upon my head made for me but I wasn't a prince. I was Lauren's brother and nobleman of Cair Paravel though I want to be a prince. I walked right out of my castle room over to Lauren's. "Hey sis," I called to her from the door. "Hey Jayden, you came come in," she said to me. I entered her room as I heard her voice. I wonder how everyone else is doing.

Kendall's P.O.V.:

I was already dressed in my outfit for today and the outfit was gifted to me from one of the lords from the kingdom whose ancestors were apart of Middle Earth and honestly I felt honored by the gift and would cherish it for the rest of my life. All of a sudden, I felt this kingly presence around me and I knew it had to be Aslan. "Aslan," I said bowing to him. "Hello my son," he greeted. "Hi," I replied. "Listen Kendall, this journey you have been on is remarkable and now it is time to continue the next part of the journey," he told me. "Of course Aslan, I couldn't agree more," I told him. "Yes, I must tell when the time comes you will look for a bride," he told me. "I look for a bride," I questioned. "Yes, I know who you love and you love Josephine (Jo) like you love me with all your heart," he said. "Yes, so that means I will marry her," I asked. "Yes," he responded. I smiled and knew that in my heart I would one day marry Jo and Aslan couldn't be more happier. Afterwards, he left and I remained in the chamber getting the final touches of my long gold tunic with red belt along with my sword that was in sheath with the belt as well and my shield on the back. On my head was a circlet given to me by one of the councilmen and I soon walked out of my chambers to catch up with James as he got ready for the meeting.

James's P.O.V.:

I finished my shower a few seconds ago and got ready for the meeting today. I was dressed in a aqua blue tunic with a leaf design imprinted on the tunic and coat like thing. On my feet were brown boots with a gold leaf design on them towards the back. On my head was a gold circlet like Kendall's but only a bigger sort of thing. I still had my bow, arrows, and horn strapped onto the tunic as well. I smiled and looked in the mirror for the final time before heading down to Lauren's chambers to see her.

Lauren's P.O.V.:

After my bath, I walked back into my room and saw a turquoise blue laid out on my bed complete with a light blue cape that would go on me. I soon went behind the screen to change into the dress and surprisingly fitted me like my coronation dress. The dress also had white accents on the neckline and the sleeves to balance out the colors. I walked out from the screen with the dress and it looked beautiful. All of a sudden, a knock was heard. "Who is it," I asked. "It's Jayden," the voice answered. I knew it had to be my brother. "Come on in Jayden," I called and he soon entered my room. "Hey, you look stunning," he told me.

"Thanks buddy," I told him as I walked over to my vanity in the chamber and sat down while the servants to Raymond did my hair. They designed it so well to have some of my hair braided and formed into a little spiral bun around the back of my hair with little crystals inside of it. A blue like ribbon thing was placed towards the back of my hair as well and I looked to see it complete. "This is amazing ladies," I told the servants. "Thank you Your Majesty," one of them said in reply. I smiled. Afterwards, I placed light blue satin flats with a crystal design on my feet and smiled.

"Your Majesty, we have some gifts for you that once belonged to Queen Arwen," one of the maids told me. Jayden was surprised at this but I just smiled. One of the servants came forward with a gorgeous necklace in her hands and it had a blue stone in the middle. "This is the Evenstar necklace and it belonged to the Queen for quite some time. I believe she wants you to have it," the head servant said giving me the necklace. "Wow," I whispered in disbelief and surprise as they placed it around my neck and I couldn't believe how pretty it was. "Thank you," I told the head servant giving him a hug. "Your welcome my queen," she replied. The next servant came forward with a circlet that was made of silver and had topaz gems inside the circlet.

"This is the Blue Fire Circlet," she told me as I curtsied a little as she placed the circlet in my hair. "Thank you," I told her. "Your welcome," she replied and the last servant came forward with a topaz ring. "This ring belonged to Queen Arwen for as long as we can remember and the Queen wanted this ring to be given to you as thanks for helping their people," the servant said to me and I gently placed the ring on my left finger. "Wow. I don't know what to say," I said to them. "No need to say anything, Your Majesty. Consider these as gifts from the Queen," the servant who presented me with the necklace said. I smiled and soon realized the meeting would start soon. "Can you ladies help me with the cloak," I asked. They nodded and soon wrapped the cloak around my neck complete with a silver pin and I smiled at them. "Thank you ladies for all you have done," I told them. "Our pleasure Your Majesty," the head servant said and curtsied to me with the others and soon left. Jayden smiled to me after they have gone and we walked over to get Logan.

Logan's P.O.V.:

I got dressed in my Elven style tunic with a tree symbol on it and leather medieval boots and pants to go along with the look. A long gray cloak was placed around my shoulders and was complete with a Celtic pin to hold it together when I walked. On my head to complete this look was a dainty silver crown that was belonged to Lord Farmir of Middle Earth as one of the servants said to me earlier. I smiled at my reflection in the mirror and soon heard a familiar knock on the door. I walked over to the door and saw Lauren already dressed for the meeting with her cordial and dagger on the belt with waist. "Hey, you look amazing and beautiful," I told her.

"Hey, you look great as well," she replied and I too had my gifts already on my waist as well. "You ready," I asked. "Ready," she answered. Together including Jayden we walked out of the castle chambers and joined the others on the grounds of the castle. I looked to see Carlos dressed in a blue like tunic and medieval pants including the boots. His crown perfectly placed on his head along with the sword and shield on his side and back. Keira looked amazing wearing a green dress and gold flats on her feet with her hair in a braided like bun and her circlet on the head as well. Aslan was there with us as we walked a little bit.

"As you know, today you leave Terabithia to head back to your kingdom and help them; but I must warn you the challenge ahead will be difficult," Aslan spoke. "We understand Aslan, and I know we can do it," Kendall told him. "Not only for ourselves; but for our people," James added in with his arm around our shoulders. "Indeed dear ones," he told us. "Aslan, I know you said Lauren and I will get married but my other question is what's next," I asked him. "That you will need to figure out on your own dear ones," he replied.

"Your Majesties," a voice sounded and we soon saw Raymond near us dressed in the same tunic as me with the same leather pants almost and boots. His crown sat like a pillow on his head and a royal blue cape with emblems of the royal crest of Terabithia was scattered on the cape. "We are ready. Everyone has assembled," I told him. Aslan nodded. "Shall we," he said to us and we walked to the square to see everybody and made our way to the front where a tree was standing. We stood in the positions of our thrones back home and watched Raymond approached to speak to his people.

Raymond's P.O.V.:

The crowd was silent as I went to the center portion of the plaza like stand and soon cleared my throat. "My people of Terabithia," I began to say and they looked at me. "Terabithia belongs to the Terabthians and Narnians alike just as it does to man. Any Calmerenes who want to stay and live in peace are welcome to. And if any of you who wish to make a new start, Aslan will return you to the land of our forefathers," I said to my people. "It has been years and generations since we left Calmerene," a lord spoke out to me. "We are not referring to Calmerne my lord. Your ancestors were sea-faring brigands, pirates run aground on an island. There they found a cave, a mere and rare chasim that brought them here form their world. The same world as the descendants of the Kings and Queen," Aslan spoke to us while turning to their Majesties. Everyone was shocked. I didn't know my ancestors were pirates.

Lauren's P.O.V.:

When Aslan spoke these words to the crowd, I was shocked like the others. I didn't know this secret until now. "It is to that world I can return you to. It is a good place for any of you who want to make a new start," Aslan told them. Logan, Kendall, James, Jayden, Carlos and I looked to see if any volunteers would come but that changed when a familiar voice said, "I'll go. I accept the offer," it was General Rozelle who said that. I am surprised.

Raymond's P.O.V.:

When I heard his voice I simply bowed to him and I knew he would find a good hope there. "So will we," a voice sounded again. Coming forward I looked to see my aunt Regina. "Aunt Regina? But why," I asked her. "I'm so sorry Raymond of what we did to you. We didn't mean to put away in a corner. I'm sorry. Can you forgive me," she answered. "Of course Aunt Regina, I forgive you," I said to her and she smiled. "I'll miss you, my grandson," she whispered before going up to the plaza stairs with her baby in her arms.

"Bye little buddy," I said silently kissing my nephew's head as he smiled at me. I looked to see them approach Aslan. "Because you have chosen and spoken first, your feature will be good," he told them. Then, Aslan breathed on my family and general along with another lord. All of a sudden, a tree behind me twists to form a door like shape. Everyone was in awe of the beauty of Aslan's doing. They soon walked through the door and soon vanished from me. The people soon gasped at this. "How do we Aslan is not leading us to our deaths," a lord cried out. "Because he is not," Kiera shouted to the lord. "My apologies Princess," he murmured in respect to Kiera. "Sire, with your permission of course, I can take eleven of mice through the door without delay," Reepicheep told him. "No, my small one. You are needed here," Aslan replied to him.

Kendall's P.O.V.:

I figured it was now time for us to head back. "We'll go," I told the crowd. "We will," Carlos asked. "Come on guys. Our time's up," I told them as I walked to Raymond. "Besides, Terabithia is in good hands of the new king," I said holding my hand out to him. Raymond shook it. "I will wait for help when necessary," he told me. "I know that is the case," James said to us with a smile. "We will help you," Logan answered. I smiled and so did Lauren and Jayden as they came forward.

"Aslan, will I still get married," Lauren asked. "Of course. All things have their time," he told her. "Don't worry Lauren. I know it's down the road; but it will be here before we know it," I told her giving that big brother approach. "Come on," I said to her as we walked with members of our guard to our new friends and bowed to them.

Lauren's P.O.V.:

After I bowed to Professor Dublin, I walked over to Trumpkin and curtsied to him while he bowed to me. I smiled and gave him a hug. "It was a pleasure meeting you Trumpkin," I told him. "The pleasure was all mine Your Majesty. Hopefully, I come visit soon," he added with a smile. "I hope so to buddy," I told him. I looked to see my friends near Raymond and I walked over to them. "I really can't thank you guys enough for coming and helping us out in this fight," Raymond said to us. "It was our pleasure Raymond. Helping friends out is what we do," Logan told him. I smiled at his words. "You guys are considering me friends," he asked. "Of course," I told him. He smiled and soon hugged us. The crowd awed at this moment and I just smiled. I looked over to Kiera and winked at her as she winked back. We soon realized it was time to go. "You guys ready," I asked them gesturing to our horses. "Let's go home," Logan told us.

Logan's P.O.V.:

"Let's go home," I told my friends as we walked to our horses and the servants helped us on them.

It started out as a feeling which then grew into a hope.

Lauren and I smiled as we sat on the saddles of our horses ready for the journey back. We looked at Terabithia and we knew we would help them in one way or another again.

Which then turned into a quite thought which then turned into a quiet word.

Aslan nodded to us and Kiera waved to us as we began to trot our horses and so did Raymond as Carlos lead the way back followed by Kendall, James, me, then Lauren. Lauren and I looked back for a second and Aslan smiled at us. No turning back now.

And then that word grew louder and louder till it was a battle cry. I'll come back when you call me. No need to say goodbye.

Lauren's P.O.V.:

Just because everything's changing doesn't mean it's never been this way before. My eyes soon widened as we saw Cair Paravel already ahead of us and I couldn't help but smile. "Guys, were home," I told them. "Home sweet home," Kendall added as we approached the stables.

All you can do is try to know who you're fiends are as you head off to the war. Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light. You'll come back. When they call you, no need to say goodbye.

I looked to see my ladies walking around the castle and I smiled. "Lily, Ruple, Dove, Jane, Willow," I called out to them. They looked up once they heard my voice and gasped. "Queen Lauren," they called back and ran from the steps over to us with big hugs of embrace waiting for me and I couldn't help but accept them all. "Welcome back Your Majesties," Raphael told us. "Thank you Raphael. Glad to be back," Logan told him with a smile. We soon slid off our horses and walked back into the castle.

Now were back to the beginning, it's just a feeling that no one knows yet. But just because they can't feel it to, doesn't mean you have to forget. Let your memories grow stronger and stronger till there before you're eyes. You'll come back when they call you no need to say goodbye. You'll come back when they call you, no need to say goodbye.

Still, we smiled happy to be back home and I could hear the roar of Aslan. So could James, Carlos, Kendall, Logan, and Jayden. We all knew that this just ended but more was to come. We are ready to take this full on.
