Adventures in Narnia
February 15, 2021
Prompt: "The woods have remembered you ever since the first time you got lost in them." Use this quote as your inspiration, whether you actually include it or not.
A/N: My stories are going to get better. My friend left today so now I have more time to write rather than having to balance being a good hostess and a wannabe writer. Enjoy my Brain Star!
Reviews:
BrokenKestral: Sometimes there is that perfect story that is a genius idea that you have to use, not realizing that it's a genius idea that multiple people think of. It happens to the best of us.
Ariel_of_Narnia: My parents thought that I based it off of their relationship. I think married couples are so cute, too!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Especially not anything underlined. If it's underlined I took it straight from Prince Caspian (book, not movie. The movie makes me want to punch something).
"I suppose your Majesties know the way all right?" said Trumpkin.
"I don't," said Susan. "I've never seen these woods in my life before. In fact I thought all along that we ought to have gone by the river."
"Then I think you ought to have said so at the time," answered Peter, with pardonable sharpness.
"Oh, don't take any notice of her," said Edmund. "She always is a wet blanket. You've got that pocket compass of yours, Peter, haven't you? Well, then, we're as right as rain. We've only got to keep on going northwest-cross that little river, the what-do-you-call-it?-the Rush-"
"I know," said Peter. "The one that joins the big river at the Fords of Beruna, or Beruna's Bridge, as the D.L.F. calls it."
"That's right. Cross it and strike uphill, and we'll be at the Stone Table (Aslan's How, I mean) by eight or nine o'clock. I hope King Caspian will give us a good breakfast!"
"I hope you're right," said Susan. "I can't remember all that at all."
"That's the worst of girls," said Edmund to Peter and the Dwarf. "They never carry a map in their heads."
"That's because our heads have something inside them," said Lucy.
"What do you mean? How do you know who I am?" asked Trumpkin the dwarf.
"The woods have remembered you ever since the first time you got lost in them," replied the Dryad. "I have come to bring a message from my sister in Galma. 'Tis about the Princess-"
"The one that squints?"
"Yes. That one. As I was saying, the Princess of Galma will not be returning as King Caspian's queen," continued the Dryad.
"Well why not?" Trumpkin queried.
"Well, as the King says, 'she squints'."
The D.L.F. barked a humourless laugh. "She squints? You have got to be joking. That is the silliest excuse I have ever heard. What's next? Will a lady of the Lone Islands be too indifferent to the slave trade? Ha! The King has lost his mind! Though he does point out the obvious."
The Dryad stood awkwardly and the Dwarf shook his head.
"You are dismissed, my friend. May Aslan's blessing be upon you and may your leaves grow green and large." Trumpkin waved her away and muttered, "She squints. What will we do with you, Caspian?"
Fin.
A/N: This is… interesting to say the least. I know it's not bad, it's just not good. I hope you enjoyed this brain star my brain just SuperNova-ed. Please provide Constructive Criticism so that my brain stars can be well written.
Yours truly,
