A New Beginning

Chapter 8
Three days later Lucy was just starting to warm up when she saw Sarah heading towards her in a plain tan pants and a light blue tunic. Lucy was wearing similar attire but her tunic was a navy blue.
Lucy smiled, "Sarah! So glad you could make it!"
Sarah smiled in return. "I wouldn't miss this for the world. I've been dying to learn archery since forever."
Lucy grinned. "Good. Now lets find you a bow."
Lucy then led Sarah to a shed where they kept all the bows and arrows.
She then picked the proper bow for Sarah and then took a quiver and filled it with several arrows.
After that Lucy taught Sarah the right feet positions and arm placements and the basic techniques for shooting an arrow.
When Sarah asked Lucy when she would actually shoot an arrow Lucy smiled.
"Well let's just get the basics down first, then we can worry about shooting."
A few hours later Lucy decided to call it a day and Sarah readily agreed.
After they had taken a hot bath and changed into fresh clothes, they headed to one of the smaller dinning rooms.
For if you recall there was a fair few Kings and Queens in Narnia, though most lived outside the castle wall there were still a lot of people living in Cair Paravel.
So Peter decided to have another when him they very close friends could eat without having to go to the Great Hall.
When Lucy and Sarah entered the room they were announced and Peter, Edmund, Tirian, Charles (Lucy's Father), Caspian, Eustace and Rilian stood (it was costume to stand when a Lady entered a room).
Lucy smiled as Tirian came and greeted her and Sarah and then led Sarah to a seat next to him while Lucy took a seat next to Caspian and his wife.
They all introduced themselves, which Sarah replied with a smile.
"You and Lady Sarah seem to have a lot in common, Your Majesty."
Commented Caspian's Wife, Queen Serenity, as she looked over at Tirian and Sarah, who were having a lively conversation about the Archery Tournament that Tirian had participated in two days earlier.
Lucy smiled at Serenity.
"Do you really think so?" she asked.
"Oh yes, My Lady, very much so." Said Caspian in agreement with his wife.
Lucy laughed. "Have you noticed how well she and Tirian are getting along?" she said changing the subject.
But before Caspian could respond Sarah stood up, which of course made all the men stand as well.
She then announced that she had to be getting home.
Everyone said their farewells and smiled as Tirian offered to accompany her home.
