Chapter 7: Gift Two is Open-mindedness.
Furuba: I proudly welcome back the now insanely rich Fi!
Fi:...you're not getting any money.
Furuba: Dang it. Well do your thing Fi.
Fi: Furuba Rocks owns nothing…this is proven by her not paying me back on her bet.
Furuba: You make ONE mistake…
Fi: Technically you made 98 mistakes…
Furuba: Well you won 200,000 dollars at the Gin Rummy tournament!
Fi: We can finish this fight later as they read the next chapter.
Furuba: *grumbles*
…Normal POV…
Impa watched in the trees as the battle between Link and Caspian went on. There was something about Link that was extremely familiar but she just couldn't place it. Aslan said that an ancestor of hers, also the person she was named after, had known him but didn't elaborate on it. She supposed that it could just be the Sage part of her telling her to give him her gift but Ruto hadn't said anything about a feeling of him being familiar…only that he needed the gift. Impa felt the need to give him her gift and that he was familiar. Sighing Impa watched the scene in front of her, hidden from the view of everyone.
Their fighting stopped and there was some talking and then Link's friends showed up. Then Link made a blue woman appear and she said something. Then everyone seemed incredibly shocked. Impa knew that it was time to deliver her gift. Slowly Impa blew into the air and very small orbs of purple light floated to Link. They were too small for any normal person to notice. They were absorbed into his body without drawing any attention. Her job was done. With that Impa vanished into thin air to go back to the temple.
…Normal POV…
Link didn't feel anything touch or get absorbed by his body but he did feel the after effects. He took in what Fi had said and thought about it. There was a high chance that this was the Caspian they were looking for but why did it seem so unbelievable? Because no one expected anything to come this easily.
It seemed as if his mind opened to include all of the possibilities. If this was Caspian then part of their journey was done and they could move on to the next, more important part; recapturing Narnia from Miraz. Not even knowing how he had come to this conclusion but brushed it off Link said, "I don't know why but I trust you. My name is Link and these are my friends," Link then introduced all of his friends.
Caspian looked around in confusion before saying, "Why did you come here?"
Link looked to Peter, not sure how to explain this, "Would you mind explaining this?"
Peter nodded before explaining everything to Caspian and the people with him. They just looked at the newcomers in shock.
Caspian finally said, "It is true then? The horn worked?"
Susan nodded to him, "It is also true that we came to help you in any way we can. You will have to be willing to let us help you."
"I can vouch for them your majesty. They are telling the truth." Trumpkin said, stepping forward and bowing slightly.
Caspian nodded his head in turn to all of them so as showing that he did believe them…until he came to Farian.
"…Is it true? What they tell me? That you saved my life?" Caspian whispered to the soldier.
Farian nodded but didn't look his prince in the eye, "I couldn't bear the thought of Miraz ruling this land. I had to help in some way."
Caspian walked forward and placed a hand on Farian's shoulder, causing him to look up at the young man, "Then I owe you my life and I will protect you in my debt." Caspian said with great respect in his voice.
Farian was shocked. Never in his life had he dared the thought of the prince being in debt to him. He was speechless.
Caspian nodded once more to Farian before turning to everyone that had gathered; a small amount of his army and his newfound friends.
"People of Narnia…we now have hope!" He cried and people echoed him.
…Normal POV…
The tall elegant woman walked gracefully to the castle. She had a dark red cloak all around her with the hood pulled up so that no one would recognize her. It was late in the day, around dinner so she was a strange sight to see. But she had an objective in mind as she approached the palace. Finally she got there and knocked on the tall wooden door.
A large guard answered, mad about being interrupted during his dinner, "Who goes there?" He yelled before spotting the beautiful woman in front of him, "What do you want?!"
The woman looked him in the eye and gave him a cold hard stare that striked fear deep into his heart. He was one of the best soldiers there and hadn't been afraid in years…but there was something about this woman that just made him want to crumble down in his fear.
The woman answered softly and politely though there was an edge to her voice that stated she wanted her orders followed, "I have come to see the King and Queen about the job of being a Nurse to the new born Prince."
Hurriedly the guard opened the door so that the woman could step in and showed her the way to the dining hall where the royal family was. He knew that King Miraz would not be pleased at being interrupted but the soldier just wanted the strange woman out of here.
The woman put down her hood and showed her long blond hair as she entered the dining hall.
"Who are you?" King Miraz asked with venom laced throughout his words.
The woman bowed before the King and Queen of Narnia before saying, "My name is Zelda and I have come to serve you in any way possible my lord."
Furuba: There it is! The next chapter! Hope you all liked it! Sorry for the long update time!
Fi: *disbelieving look on her face* You apologized for something? The chances of that happening were 16%!
Furuba: Well nothing is impossible. By the way…when you review…could you answer this question? Who is better: Me or Fi?
Fi: You can't ask them that. That is unfair. This is a place for fan fiction stories…not 'who is better' questions!
Furuba: Well too late I already asked them! Remember to review!
