Chapter 5
While Eustace and Jill were talking, Edmund, Lucy, Caspian and Reepicheep were exploring Ramandu's Island. They came to a table with food on it when they saw three men at the end.
"These are the Lords Revilian, Mavramorn and Argoz," said Caspian. "But they're still breathing. They must be under a spell."
"This must be Aslan's Table," said Edmund. They drew the swords and put them on the table. "That makes six, but we're still missing one."
"Look!" exclaimed Lucy. They all looked up and saw the blue star above their heads. It floated down and transformed into a girl.
"Travelers of Narnia…welcome."
"Who are you?" asked Edmund.
"I am Lilliandil, daughter of Ramandu. I am your guide."
Edmund and Caspian went forward. "You are most beautiful," Caspian said.
Lilliandil was shocked. "If it is a distraction for you, I…I can change forms."
"NO!" they both shouted. They looked at each other and Lucy rolled her eyes.
"The food is for you. There is enough at Aslan's Table. Help yourselves."
"Wait! What happened to them?" Edmund pointed to the three lords.
"These poor men were mad when they reached our shores, and were threatening violence upon each other. Violence is forbidden at the table of Aslan, so they were put to sleep."
"Will they ever wake?" asked Lucy.
"When all is put right. Come; there is little time." She took them to a lookout. "The magician, Coriakin, told you of Dark Island. There it is." She pointed across the lookout and they could see an island swirling with green mist. "Before long, the evil will be unstoppable."
"He told us that we could break its spell by laying seven swords at Aslan's Table but we only found six," Edmund said. "Do you know where the seventh one is?"
Lilliandil pointed to Dark Island. "In there. You will need great courage." She looked at Caspian. "Now waste no time." She transformed into a star again and flew up toward the heavens.
After eating, they got in the ship and sailed on to Dark Island.
