Sophia was scared and worried for the children. She wouldn't eat or drink until they were found.

"We'll find them Soph" Peter said. "I promise" Sophia nodded, trying to believe his words. Peter, Caspian and Rhince took a small boat and rowed away from the Dawn Treader.

"They'll be alright you're majesty" Drinian said.

"I love Razier so much, Drinian" Sophia said, wrapping her arms around her middle. "I want him back"

"Hey now" Drinian said, tilting her chin to look at him, "Peter and Caspian know what they are doing. Gael and Razier will be found" Sophia sighed and nodded. She knew that all she could do now was wait for thier return.

Reepicheep climbed on to her shoulder.

"Have faith in Aslan, Milady" He said. "Aslan will make everything alright"

It was nearing nightfall when Peter, Caspian and Rhince caught up with the Pirate Ship which was docked at a port. Peter thanked Aslan that they found it so quickly. The three men crept aboard quietly, hoping to go unnoticed.

Gael was crying and Razier was trying to comfort her.

"Father will rescue us" He was saying. Gael was being forced to work in the kitchen while Razier had become the cabin boy. Though it had only been a day, Razier wasn't sure if he could handle life on this ship. He really wanted his parents.

"Oh shut up!" One of the pirates snapped, downing some ale. "You ain't going home, so you can just stop your whining" Gael glared at the pirate.

"We will" She snapped. "King Caspian will burn down your ship and rescue us" This made the pirate angry.

"Why you insolent little whelp" He raised a hand to slap her but another hand grabbed his wrist.

"Don't you dare strike my daughter" Rhince growled.

"Daddy!" Gael cried happily. Peter and Caspian drew thier swords.

"We can do this the easy way or the hard way" Caspian said. "Let us take the children and no harm will come to you" The pirates laughed. Suddenly, the laughter stopped as the captain stepped out of his cabin.

"I'm afraid I can't let you do that" He said. "Good help is so hard to find"

"My son is not a servant and neither is the girl" Peter said. "I challenge you to single combat. If I win, you release the children. If you win, I will serve you"

"Peter, what are you doing?" Caspian hissed. Peter turned to his cousin.

"Trust me" He said, readying his sword. The captain grinned.

Back on the dawn Treader, Sophia was in her cabin, when she heard a shout.

"There's someone in the water!" Drinian was saying. Sophia ran to the side of he ship and caught a glimpse of auburn hair.

"Lucy!" She shouted. "Someone, bring them on board. Now!" Drinian dove off the ship and Sophia lowered a platform as Drinian helped Lucy, Edmund and a blonde hair boy Sophia didn't recognize, get on to the platform. As it was raised, the King and Queen of Old smiled up at Sophia. When they got on deck, Sophia wrapped them in warm blankets. Suddenly they heard a squeal.

"That giant rat thing just tried to claw my face off!" The blonde hair boy shrieked. Reepicheep appeared offended.

"I was merely trying to expel the water from your lungs, sir" He replied indignantly. The boy's eyes grew wide.

"It talked! Did you see? Did anyone just hear that? It talked!" He shrieked.

"He always talks" Drinian replied. Sophia hid a smile.

"Actually, it's getting him to shut up that's the trick" She said. Reepicheep looked at her, an amused look on his face.

"When there is nothing to be said you're highness, I will not say it" he replied.

"I demand to know where in the blazes am I?" The boy shouted.

"Your on the Dawn Treader, the finest ship in Narnia's navy" Acerek, the minotaur replied. The boy looked at him and promptly fainted. Sophia sighed.

"Take care of him, will you Acerek" She said. The minotaur sighed and lifted the boy up. Sophia turned to Lucy and Edmund.

"I am so happy to see you" She said.

"Did you call for us?" Lucy asked.

"No" Sophia said. "Aslan is most likely behind this. Come, we have much to talk about" It was a shock to see how grown-up Lucy had become. She was fourteen now as it had been three years for her and Edmund. Edmund was becoming a handsome young man at 16.

Once they were in dry clothes, Lucy in one of Sophia's dresses and Edmund in an outfit of Peter's, Sophia led them into the study. She opened a glass cabinet and pulled out Lucy's belt with her healing cordial and dagger and handed it to her. Then she turned to Edmund.

"It was always Peter's hope that you would return in our lifetime" She said. "He had this crafted for you" She pulled out a sword, similiar to Peter's sword with jewels on the dagger. Edmund was in awe.

"Where is Peter?" Edmund asked, though he was sure seeing Peter would be startling, since he was older now. Sophia sighed.

"Peter, Caspian and I started on this journey to find seven lords who were loyal to Caspian the Ninth" Sophia explained, "but we were attacked by pirates who kidnapped Razier and one of the sailor's daughters Gael. Peter, Caspian and Gael's father have gone after them" Lucy gasped.

"I hope they're okay" She said.

"Lucy, I hope you won't mind sharing a room with Razier and Gael. It would not be proper to have you sleeping in the sailor's quarters" Lucy nodded.

"Edmund, you can share Caspian's cabin if you wish or we do have some space in the Sailor's quarters" Edmund thought for a moment.

"I think Eustace and I can handle the Sailor's quarters" He replied, smirking. Lucy nudged him. Sophia smiled.

"I cannot express how happy I am to see you" She said quietly. "This voyage is a dangerous one, perhaps that is why you have come"
