Hey guys!!!
I'm back, and heres another update!
As hopefully those who have read my profile know, I'm a massive Twilight (TEAM JACOB BRO) fan, and NEW MOON is coming out in two weeks!
I'm reallllyyyy excited..
I have been all year; counting down, every day. So, naturally, when my friends heard there was a midnight screening on the 18th at our local cinema, we rushed down to get tickets. Well, two of my friends got them for us XD
And they decided to be mean, and pretend that they couldn't get my ticket. I was preettyyy sad, until they gave it to me the next day. WOOO!
So, yeah, I'm pretty excited.
This chappie is dedicated to my frequent reviewers. I haven't quite hit 100 yet, but I'm close, and I want to thank everyone who has ever reviewed. Means a lot to me.
Ooh, and it is also dedicated to Peter and Edmund look-alikes (QUEEN LANI KAULITZ THE HYPER KNOWS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!)
Teeeheh.
So here we go;
**********
It had been three days since the Dawn Treader had left Terabinthia. The ship had begun its unknown journey, the journey to the end of the world.
To Aslan's country.
Treyton was imagining how he would ask Aslan to let him stay, or to send him somewhere else, to quench his thirst for adventure, for the vast unknown. For some reason his mind slipped to his heartbroken cousin, sitting in his cabin for the last three days, staring at the package.
Treyton, as well as the rest of the family, were overcome with curiosity, but they knew that they had to let Braithe take his time. Hopefully he would open it soon. As if on cue, there was a shout from Lorian that carried up into the crows nest where Treyton sat, staring out into the east. He quickly climbed down, following his family into Braithes cabin. They all sat around him, in somewhat of a circle.
The unknown package was in the middle, and Braithe was still staring at it.
"I wanted you all here, with me." He was saying, "I just couldn't open it on my own."
"Braithe?" Ruby asked gently. "Braithe, what if it is something personal? Just for you? Something private?"
Braithe sighed. "Please..just..stay. I can't do this on my own." The family smiled encouragingly at him, and he reached forward, taking the package in his hands. He tugged at the thin cord tying it together, and pulled off the paper to reveal…
An intricately designed box, and two envelopes on top. One was labelled Braithe, and the other… 'My family.' Braithe slipped his under his shirt, vowing to read it later, and passed the one for everyone else to Lorian.
"Read it." He said. Lorian opened the envelope, and read out loud.
"My dearest friends,
I thank you all for everything you did for me and my brother. I have just found out I will not be continuing the journey with you, and I hope you will all be safe. Be always wary, and stick together. I will miss you immensely, but we will see eachother again someday, I promise.
You will have just opened the gift I gave you, and probably staring at the box. But, I have to say, it is not just a box.
My father found it years ago, when he was looking for medical herbs, he came across a wise woman. She entrusted him the box, and told him of its secret. He told me, and now I tell you.
This box has the abilty to send letters anywhere, any distance, any time. Simply place an envelope inside, with the name of the person on it, and it will appear to them. For them to reply, they must just place it back in the same envelope and it will return to you.
I give this to you in hope that you will contact your family, friends, and I too.
Good luck, my friends.
May Aslans' spirit be with you.
With all my love,
Serafina."
Lorian looked up at his family, eyes wide. They were all silent, shock making the air seem frozen. And then Belle looked at her family.
"By Aslan!" she yelled, and the silence was broken. The children all hugged eachother, shouting and screaming, thanking Sera and her family in their minds and whispered prayers. Lorian stood up.
"The letters will be sent in one hour. Go!" he cried, and the family separated to write their letters.
Exactly an hour later, they all returned, letters in hand. Lorian had two, one for his parents, and the other explaining how to use the box. They stuffed them all in one envelope, and wrote the names of all recipients on top. Belle took the thick envelope from her cousin, and slapped a kiss on it.
"Just for luck." She giggled, and they opened the box. The carvings depicted various scenes of a messenger delivering letters, and the magnifiecent picture of Aslan repearred frequently. Lorian placed the letter inside, and shut the lid.
The whole group held their breath, even little Tumnus, as he slowly opened the box again.
The letter was gone.
The family leapt to their feet, shouting and cheering, emabracing one another in excitement.
***********
In the Castle of Cair Paravel, King Peter and King Caspian sat in their thrones. They were alone in the room, trying to think of strategies, something, anything, to defeat the Oristians. There had been several incredible battles so far, neither country seeming to have the upper hand.
But the problem was, the Kings were all out of ideas. The Oristians were invading, Jasif leading them in vengeance. He luckily hadn't noticed yet how long the children had been gone, eve though it was nearing a year.
But every day Peter didn't hear from his children was like taking a dagger to the heart. It was killing him. He knew that if they were alive, they would have reached Terabinthia by now. They had completed the first part of their mission; the troops had arrived.
But what to do with them was the problem.
The two distraught Kings didn't look up when the great doors were opened, and Edmund and Aamee walked in, Aamee leaning heavily on her husband.
The muscles in her legs had been severely injured in a recent battle, but she had refused to sit down and not help. She insisted her husband take her everywhere, and he was obliged. The couple took seats not on the thrones, but on a stone bench on the side of the room.
Caspian groaned, and leant back on his throne. It was killing him not to know what to do. He was fresh out of ideas.
Suddenly, there was a distant scream, that snapped the small group out of their trances. They all stood, Aamee very shakily, as they heard running footsteps. Lucy and Gregor burst into the room, looking around anxiously.
"Did you hear that?" Lucy said frantically. The others nodded, and listened to more running footsteps. The great doors burst open to reveal a dishelleved Susan, her eyes bright and wild as she waved a thick envelope in her hand.
"THE CHILDREN!" she screamed. "LETTERS FROM THE CHILDREN!"
Caspian ran down to his wife, pulling her close, stroking her hair, trying to calm her down.
"Sh..my love, tell me, what happened."
"I was in our chambers!" she sobbed, "And the envelope appeared on the bed, right in front of me! It is Lorian's handwriting, addressed to all of us!"
Lucy shakily held out her hand, her face white.
"G-Give them to me." She whispered, and Susan obliged. Lucy fiddled with the envelope, but was unable to open it, her hands were shaking so much. Peter calmly reached over and took it , opening the flap neatly. He pulled out a note addressed to all of them.
"Instructions.." Aamee breathed, looking at Edmund in awe. He squeezed her tighter, his face too, pale.
"Now…" Peter said, pulling out several letters. "We have two for Sue and Cas, Two for me, two for Ed and Ames, and four for Lu and Greg." He passed them out, Susan and Lucy bursting into tears as they took them.
They all split up to read the letters from the children, and were in awe of their bravery and adventure so far. They called for ink and parchment, and in turn wrote their own letters, detailing what was happening in the war, and how much they missed them.
Once the letters were written, they followed the instructions exactly, sealed the letters, and passed them to Peter to put in the envelope. Just before he did however, he pressed his lips to the letter.
"Just for luck." He laughed, and sealed the envelope with wax. As soon as the wax cooled, the letter disappeared, accompanied by gasps of the royal family. They gathered together in an embrace, and prayed to Aslan for their childrens safety.
**********
The letter appeared in the box that evening and the children were giddy with excitement. They all went to separate places to read their letters, all of them nearly crying with happiness.
To Lorian and Treyton, Caspian and Susan wrote,
Our dearest Lorian and Treyton ,
How much joy it brought to our hearts to find that you are alive and well. We are so proud of you, and miss you and your brother with all of our hearts.
When we read your news of Trisca, my child, your mother burst into tears, and insists that I write you a message. Marry her, my boy. Marry her, when you return. Be happy, love, and learn. You obviously never want to be separated from her again, so marry her, like I did your mother.
Your bravery on the voyage so far and protectiveness of your family does not cease to amaze me. You are a fantastic children, my boys, and we love you so much. Our pride of having you as our sons is huge.
With love,
Your parents.
Mother and Father.
To Braithe and Zaro, Edmund and Aamee wrote,
To our boys, Braithe and Zaro,
We miss you so much, our children. You are so brave, and we are so proud of your for looking after eachother and the rest of the family.
To Braithe: Do not despair for losing your love, my child. She will see you again, as promised. We only wish we could have met her.
To Zaro: Keep your head held high, my love, and protect everyone at all costs. But also, keep them amused, distact them from being homesick.
Never forget how much we love you, children.
A thousand kisses,
Mum and Dad.
To Belle and Dune, Peter wrote,
To my Belle and my Dune,

I am so proud of you two. Words can not describe how proud I am.
Please, my children, keep me updated on your adventures, I long to hear from you.
With love,
Father.
And to Dorian, Kade, Lizzie and Tumus, Lucy and Gregor wrote the one sentence they knew the littlies would understand.

When the children had finished reading their letters with tears in their eyes, they looked up at eachother.
"Erm..so whats going on with the war?" asked Ruby. They all looked at her.
"They didn't say." The whole group said in unison, and looked at eachother worridly.
"Why wouldn't they tell us?" asked Zaro.
"I hate to say it guys, but somehow I don't think tings are going too well in relation to the war."
The family looked at eachother sadly.
"This means only one thing." Said Treyton. The family looked at him.
"What?" asked Belle.
"We need to get to Aslan. Now."
**************
So there we have it!
And I hate to say it, but did anyone notice that no one thanked Sera? Even Braithe? Naw..
Okay. I have to say something.
I have been reading lots of people's profiles lately, and I have noticed that on this site, there are a majority of people like me, who have read for ages, and decided to write my own story. We, though writing our own stories, have the decency to read other people's stories, and review nicely, putting in ideas, etc.
But then, there seem to be people who are only writing to be nominated for awards, and write just to be known. These people write in their profiles that they won't bother reading or reviewing stories that may need a little help, and I think this is disgusting.
I was just really angry with some people. Okay, end rant.
Happy me is back!
NOW REVIEW, DAMMIT.
I would really like to hit 100 this chapter!
Prize goes to my 100th reviewer!
