"Woo! Yeah!" Edmund shouted, punching at the air with a smirk of his face. Peter and Caspian smacked him on the back in congratulations. Edmund had slain the sea serpent.
"Oh gosh, are you alright?" I worried over my brothers, while I hugged Edmund.
"Yes, I feel awesome! I can't wait to slay my next monster." Edmund shouted, wiping off his sword.
"Oh boy, this is just like the dragon all over again." Peter rolled his eyes. I nodded my head in agreement.
"What dragons?" Caspian asked, looking as sexy as ever.
"Back in the Golden Age, there were dragons on one of the Islands. We went to fight them, and, well… Edmund killed the first one. He had a taste for victory." I explained.
"Yes, and it was hard to get rid of!" Peter put in. Lucy and Gaelcame running up then, and I hugged Lucy.
"Are you alright?" I asked them both. Lucy nodded and Gaelran for her dad.
"You know what this means?" Drinian came up, poking at the beasts head.
"Nope," Lucy answered immediately, shaking her head.
"It means," Drinian said, a little exasperated. "That we're close."
"O…kay. So, we're more likely to run into sea monsters now?" I asked, pulling my arrow out of the serpent's eye. Lucy made a disgusted noise that I echoed as I wiped the eye and blood from the arrow and put it back into my quiver.
"Yes, we are. They say that the dangers of the sea between here and the Island of Voices range from sea serpents, to undead pirates." Drinian explained. Lucy cocked an eyebrow.
"Undead pirates?" She asked skeptically.
"Aw yeah! That would be so cool!" Edmund shouted.
"It would be," Caspian and Peter agreed. I just rolled my eyes and went below deck.
Later on that day, after the head had been chucked overboard and the men began working on the mast, and other things that needed repaired, Caspian found me down in the cargo area of the ship, checking to make sure that all of our food and other cargo were safe.
I was checking things off of the list when I felt his arms wrap around my waist. I smiled.
"Hey you," I greeted him, leaning into his embrace. He kissed the top of my head.
"Lucy told me something," He started, causing my curiosity to flare. I turned around in his arms to look at him. Goodness, did he make my heart stop!
"What?" I asked, tilting my head to the side.
"She said that she dreamt of Aslan last night. He told her that everything was going to be different, that the four of you would be faced with a choice. And then she said something about two destines, that one would alter the future of Narnia." He paused, and looked to the ceiling, as if trying to remember. I waited patiently. "And then she got distracted by the idea of braiding a Minotaur beard, and left." He looked back at me with a smirk. I laughed lightly, and leaned my forehead against his chest.
"How can she tell someone something so important, and then run off in search of something so trivial? We already tried once to braid a Minotaur's beard!" I shook my head at the memory and Caspian laughed.
"Why am I surprised?" He laughed again, and then took a step back, so he could look me in the eyes.
"I wonder what it means. And, I wonder why she didn't tell me. There had to be more to the dream—something more important, and she's just not telling. It must be big; otherwise, she'd tell me."
"Hopefully it involves you, staying with me." I looked away from his gaze, embarrassed. He kissed my cheek, and then along my jaw. By the time he got to my lips, I had completely forgotten where I was, or what I was supposed to be doing.
Oh Caspian, you hunk, you. Thanks for reading! Sorry it took me so long to update; I got lazy! ^_^ Review darlings!
