A New Beginning

By: IAMSOAP

Chapter 1

Madison was sitting in her son's kitchen reading one of her son's many books, when there was a neigh from outside the back door.

Madison closed her book, stood up, went to the door and opened it.

"Why Jewel! What a pleasant surprise! You wish to speak with Will?"

Jewel nodded, and did was must have been a smile.

Madison smiled.

"I shall see if he is around, he and Colin like going out a lot."

Madison then left Jewel at the door and went in search for her son.

She soon found him and her husband in the workshop, working on Will's new kitchen table.

Madison smiled.

She loved how close Colin and Will had become over the years, after all Colin had died when Will was still an infant.

It was good to them together.

"Will darling."

Will looked up from where her was sanding the tabletop.

"Yes mother?"

"Jewel wishes to speak with you."

Will smiled, put his sand paper down and followed Madison to the kitchen.

Now Will and Jewel had just met a few weeks before, soon after Jewel had arrived actually, and they had become (just like most people who had met Jewel) good friends.


3 Weeks Back

It had been a week since Jewel had arrived in Aslan's Country and soon after he had arrived he had made it a routine to go for a trot ever afternoon.

On one of those days, Jewel had been trotting through the northern area of Narnia when he heard someone playing a flute.

Jewel followed the sound until he came to a small clearing where they was a young man playing his flute.

It was a few moments later that the young man noticed that someone was watching him and he looked up.

Jewel's widened as he realized who this young man was.

His name was William Taylor and he had been famous in his time, as he was Master Healer and had save the Queen Lucy from the Black Wizard.

As Will stood up, the unicorn bowed.

"I apologize Master Healer, but I heard you playing your flute and felt the urge to investigate."

The young man smiled at Jewel and waved his hand.

"Why that is quite alright Noble Unicorn, for I think I am amazed by you as much as your are of me."

For the next hour Jewel and Will talked of many things and when the sun began to lower, they said their goodbyes, but agreed to meet the next day and soon they became very close.


Present Time

"Ah Jewel!" Will said as he joined the unicorn outside. "How can I be of service?"

Jewel motioned Will to follow him.

"Come, we must talk."

As they walked down the trail towards the clearing where the Narnians had gathered together to battle against Black.

"So has there been any new arrivals since I last talked with you?"

Jewel nodded.

"Just a few but they come the other world and prefer to stay there.

Will nodded.

"So no one I would know?" he asked.

Jewel shook his head.

Jewel wasn't exactly lying. Will was asking if anyone had arrived after Jewel had arrived not before (if you recall Lucy and the others had arrived before Tirian, Jill, Eustace, and Jewel)

Will looked down at the ground, disappointed.

Jewel looked at his friend sympathetically, he wanted to tell Will that Lucy was here but it was something Lucy and Will had to do on their own.

But that didn't mean Jewel couldn't interfere slightly.

"You know, my dear friend, I think I know of a way to cheer you up."

Will looked at Jewel doubtfully, but encouraged him to continue.

"There is a festival two months from now, you and your parents should come. It has been a while since you have been to Cair Paravel."

Will paused for a moment, it sounded like a good idea, Jewel did have a point; Will had not been to Cair Paravel recently and it would been nice to go there and visit old friends.

But would he be able to handle it?

So many things would remind him of her, that's why he had stopped going to Cair Paravel so often.

Will sighed, he couldn't hide from the past forever.

He gave Jewel a small smile.

"Alright Jewel, I shall inform mother and father."

Jewel nodded.

"Oh yes, before I forget, for the opening ball you will need a costume, it is to be a masquerade, so dress accordingly. But I must be off! I shall see you soon. Fair well!"

And with that the unicorn was gone, making his way back to Cair Paravel.

Will sighed and began walking back towards his cottage.

'Would she even remember me?'
