Bonus Epilogue

Peter - 20 Year Later

I walked with Anna as I glanced at the papers in my hand. Narnia has been prosperous for the past 20 years, and I couldn't be prouder. I studied the recorded numbers, and grinned, passing it to Anna. She smiled as she read it.

"Peter, this is great!" Anna said, kissing my cheek. "I'm so glad we're able to help this land."

"Well, none of this would have happened if you hadn't come here with me all those years ago." I commented.

She smiled softly at me, "Was it really almost 30 years ago?" She asked, amazement lacing her voice.

I chuckled lightly. "Yeah, it was, and I couldn't be more thankful." Anna's smile faded, and she seemed to go back to a far away place. "What's wrong?" I asked, freezing mid-step.

Anna sighed, "This has been more than I could ever ask for, but….don't you ever think about going back?"

I sighed too, "Yes, sometimes. But we have so much longer to live here." I replied.

Anna shook her head. "Peter, the kids are grown, Narnia is doing so well...I think we should go, while we can still leave feeling prideful."

I gazed at her. "You really think so?" She nodded.

"Peter, it's time. We have another life, 30 years ago in another world. We can't forget about it." She said, gently placing her palm on my cheek.

I sighed again, "I suppose you're right."

Anna smiled, "I always am." I chuckled, and kissed her. "Let's go tell the others." Anna suggested, and I nodded.

When we told Edmund, Lucy and Susan, they were all surprised. Edmund looked at his wife, his eyes wide and wild. I felt a pang of guilt, how could I ask him to leave his wife? She can't come with, she'd be the same age, not a teenager like we would be.

Susan and Lucy agreed, and went to say their goodbyes. Edmund turned to his wife. "Jaz, I'm- I'm so sorry. But- I- I have to go. I wish you could come with, but-" He stammered, tears in his eyes.

Jasmine shook her head, and rested her forehead against Edmund's. "No, no," She said with her thick accent. "Edmund, you must go. You gave me a wonderful 23 years. I can't thank you enough. I'll stay here, and watch over the children." She said, she glanced at me and Anna, "All of them." She added.

I smiled, and nodded my thanks. I glanced at Anna, and saw she had tears in her eyes. "What is it?" I asked quietly.

"The children." She choked out, her lip trembling.

I sighed, and wrapped my arms around her. "You said so yourself, they'll be fine. We raised them right, they'll be okay."

She nodded, but I knew she was doubting herself.

We traveled to the tree that was our original portal, and saw our four children lined up by it. They all had tears in their eyes, but they were smiling.

Heidi was 29, and was married, expecting her first child. She was the most intelligent of our kids, and I felt completely safe leaving Narnia in her hands. She hugged us tightly, "Thank you." She whispered, "Good luck." We bid her goodbye, and she stepped back.

Elsie was 27, and currently single, but she was always flirting with a local huntsman's son. She was our warrior, and took after her mother with her bow and arrow skills. "Mom, Dad," She began, voice cracking. Anna gave a weak laugh, and hugged her tightly. "I love you, so much." She said, and then she stepped aside.

Lorna was next, she was 24, and was not married, but in a committed relationship. She was the personality of the family, and she was almost a perfect mix of Anna and I. "Mom, Dad-" Her voice broke, and tears started flowing. We rushed forward to hug her, and she eventually quieted. "I wish you didn't have to leave, but- but you have to, and I understand. Thank you, I'll miss you so, so much." We assured her we felt the same, and she stepped away, leaving Edward.

Edward was 20, single and was so much like me it hurt sometimes. He was trying to remain strong, but I could see through it. "Thank you both so much. I wouldn't be the man I am without you." He said, I shook my head, and moved forward, hugging him tightly. He let out a sob, and hugged back. He released me, and moved to Anna, embracing her. "I love you, never forget us, okay?" He said, smiling weakly.

Anna laughed too, "How could we?" She asked rhetorically. Everyone laughed weakly. I glanced at Edward, and smiled, he smiled back, and I was suddenly struck with a memory from 23 years ago.

I was on the battlefield, facing a goblin from Feriatha's army. I stabbed it, and it looked like me…..

No...not me. Edward. As I looked at Edward, I realized that goblin had taken on his form. I shuddered, but kept my mouth clamped. It wasn't the time or place to reveal that revelation.

The children all stepped back. They lined up, and Anna and I took them in while our siblings walked through the tree to the other side.

"I love you all, so much. Never forget that. Make us proud, and never give up hope. Remember the stories we've told you. Learn from our mistakes, but don't be afraid to make your own, it's how you grow as a person." Anna said.

I smiled, "You've already made us so proud, we'll be together eventually again, and I can't wait to hear all about your lives then. Until we meet again, I love you, all of you." I said, drawing tears from my kids, but they smiled, saying 'I love you', back.

I turned towards the tree, and grabbed Anna's hand. I glanced down at her, and found her already staring at me, smiling. I leaned down, and kissed her, and together we walked through the tree.

I blinked as I woke up next to the tree. I glanced at the people around me, and gasped at my siblings' younger appearances. So it had worked, we were back. I turned, and glanced to my right, noticing a girl with curly blonde hair, and sparkling blue eyes that seemed to hold the sky in them. I grinned broadly, it's been a while since I'd seen her this way, but I would never forget what she looked like.

Anna glanced at me, and gasped, seemingly noticing the same thing about me. She smiled, and shot up, planting a kiss on my lips. We seperated, and I chuckled.

"Anna, we're back in our world, you can't be going around kissing me like that." I scolded playfully.

"Not our world, this isn't our world. Our world is Narnia, not Earth." She corrected, and I smiled softly.

We stood, and glanced down at our boarding school through the trees. I grabbed Anna's hand, and she squeezed my hand in return. I glanced down at her, and smiled again.

"Well, I don't know about you, but I am really looking forward to spending another life with you." I whispered to her.

Anna glanced up at me, grinning wickedly. "Me too, if I say 'yes' to any future engagements."

I smiled softly, and she smiled back. "Well, then we'll have to wait a few years to see."

Anna leaned into me, "I guess we will." She said.

Edmund smiled sadly, and I gave him a soft smile. "Come on," I said, turning back to Anna, "we still have classes to get back to."

Anna smiled, clinging to my arm. "Gladly."

I smiled down at her, and knew that we would be together for many years to come, starting a new adventure, grander than any in Narnia. I made my way back to the school, Anna on my arm, looking forward to another life together.
