*One Year Later*
"Ed get up!" Autumn said,shaking Edmund's shoulders. "It's time for dawn patrol". Autumn and Edmund had always gone on dawn patrol as best friends. It was their thing. Never broken but sometimes Autumn was gone on quests for Aslan. Autumn had grown in so many ways. She had already mastered her wings and sword fighting. She was exceptional with the bow and flawless with the daggers. Her powers with fire grew stronger every day. She was truly living up to her job.
Edmund was too. He was a expert swordsmen and was already getting the hang of using two swords. Archery and using daggers were second nature to him. Edmund was 15 and Autumn was close to 15. It was a little over a year ago that they were crowned but it seemed like ages ago. They both still had their embarrassing moments but they didn't know if it were love or friendship.
"King Edmund Pevensie the Just. Duke of the Lantern Waste, Count of the Western March, and Knight of the Noble Order of the Lion. Get up right now or I will personally fly you out the window!" Autumn said (Just so you know, Autumn has muscle and is very strong and so are her wings but her wings are only ment for one persons weight). Edmund grumbled and shoved the covers off. "Fine".
He pulled his nightshirt over his head and threw it on the bed and stood up. "Oh, get behind the screen!" she said sarcastically, throwing him a shirt as she hid her blush. "I thought I was pretty good looking" he joked. "In your dreams". "No, in my dreams I look better" he called from behind the screen. She rolled her eyes "Just because you've worked out 24/7 for a year, it doesn't mean your exactly a hunk of muscle" . She was wearing a dark green shirt with tan pants (Thank goodness I'm allowed to. I was an exception for wearing boy clothes but I had mine specially made) and dark brown boots with a brown cloak. Draca was on her hip and her hair was pulled back into a ponytail that as always started on her neck (We has her hair like this most of the time in the Summer,Spring, and Fall).
Edmund came out from the screen in a red shirt and brown pants. He pulled on a brown cloak and grabbed his sword. It was mid-Autumn (About October) and the weather was getting colder by the day. "Race you to the horses" she dared. "No can fly!".
"I've started preparations on the Fall festival" Susan spoke during breakfast. "Already" Edmund said. "It's a week away" Autumn protested. Susan and her balls. "Oh come off. Wearing a dress for a few hours won't kill you" Susan said. "Oh, that reminds me. Autumn,Lucy, and I have dress fittings to day". Autumn groaned in the back ground. "That's fine. Ed and I have a meeting about the same time". Dress fitting great. I could be spinning through the fall colored trees in the fresh air but no. Susan insists that I have to stand on a box for 2 hours while someone goes around me poking me with pins.
*Autumn's POV*
After exactly 1 hour,23 minutes, and 37 seconds, Susan and Lucy let me go after fitting me in a orange and golden dress. I left for the library. Yes flying through the trees was fun but the library was my sanctuary. Having wings gave me the advantage to get very high books. I flew to one of the higher shelves and fingered through books.I finally found a book called "The War against the Elements" and landed on the floor. I was reading the cover when the doors of the library slammed open. I quickly hid behind a bookcase and listened the voices. "I'm not going to Peter!". "Ed come on. It's only for a week". "Yeah one bloody week of her". "She's not that bad". "If she's not that bad, then why can't you do it?". "She's your age and besides I heard she took a certain liking to you".
The voices died down and the doors closed to the library. What were they talking about? And who was 'she'?. I shook my head and plopped down on a chair facing the window. I started reading about the fusion of opposing elements. I never knew of anyone,who could control the elements, not including myself.
About an hour later, the heard the doors to the library open softly. Since being the protector of Narnia, I tuned my senses till they were extremely sharp. I could hear,see, and smell things humans couldn't often do. I heard to slightest sound of footsteps and I only moved my eyes to look into the window. I could see the reflections of me and everything behind me. I saw Edmund with a smirk on his face. I knew what he was thinking. He slowly creeped behind my chair.
"BOO!" he yelled right in my ear. "Hi Ed" I said without flinching. "You're no fun" he joked. "Well you're not every quite when you come in" I pointed out. "So how did the dress fitting go?" he asked casually. "Fine and when did you take a liking to dress making?". "I was just asking how your day went". "Well besides being used as a human pin cushion I'm fine. How'd the meeting go?". "Slow and boring. It was all about planning for the Fall festival. People who wanted to come early. Staying preparations. Who was coming" he continued with complete lack of enjoyment. "And you had to have a whole meeting for that?" I asked. "Apparently".
"I never really got balls". "You and me both". "Do you remember our first ball?" I nodded. "I heard some of the older guests say how cute I was and how I would make a fine husband one day".I laughed "You were only 13 and already they're lining their daughters up for you". "Well being king my attract some flys but think how many you'll get. You know being this daring protector and all" he said smiling.
I stood up from my chair and turned to Edmund "Dual?". "Why not?"
