Thank you for getting them untangled, Caspian. I think Liliandil is with Rilian by the lake at the foot of the hill.
Okay! Thank you!
Oh! You're back. Hi again, JM here. I'm sorry if these two unkingly kings suddenly dropped off, fighting. Here they are again along with Lucy this time.
You highness, I do hope you would keep you're royal brothers from bickering this time.
I'll do my best.
And Peter, kissing isn't the best way to shut Edmund up. Try hitting him as hard as you can you're dead anyway, no offense.
Non taken.
Do it better this time.
Sure! Anyway, Edmund here having a horrid time with a couple of bruises from, hey, ho, old Peter.
I'm not old, I'm barely 23.
Your total age is 38 Peter.
Shut up, both of you. I'm glad JM actually trusted me to look after you two. honestly. You're worse than the beavers.
Alright, were sorry. I'm sorry Ed.
Sorry, Pete. Anyway coming from where we left last time, I might as well start with the planning of the siege of the western lands. It was early in our reign when news of the remnants of the witch's army building an new one reached us. This army was hiding in the western march, MY domain. [When did it become your domain?] Have you forgotten on our coronation day? Western woods, Northern sky, Eastern sea, Southern sun?[Oh, yeah... Never mind.] Anyway, Peter's army moved forth to the west. One night when we were in encampment near Beruna, I was sleeping in the same tent as Peter as we always do. I was barely asleep when I felt someone touch my cheek and placed a soft kiss on my lips. I opened my eyes slowly to see a shocked expression on my brother's face. It was also very red with embarrassment. I asked him if he had kissed me but he didn't answer. He left the tent saying sorry again and again. I followed him outside in to the darkness of the night. When I found him, I asked him again. He nodded and avoided my gaze, then there was this amazing feeling in the pit of my stomach. I asked him why and when he answered, I was, somehow, very happy. Peter was teary eyed when he had said the words: I love you. Then everything he said after that was all a blur. I'm sorry. He muttered, I told him don't be, I hugged him and whispered in his ear, I love you too.
[Aww, I didn't know that, you were so sweet, Ed]
Thank you, Lucy.
[Can I tell them my side of the story?]
Sure, Pete. Fire away.
Thanks, Ed. Okay, for days then, Edmund was making me insane. I was actually having a debate with myself. You're not gay! But I love Edmund. No! He's your brother. Yeah, but he's just so beautiful. Peter, that boy is 12 and you're barely 16. So? Age doesn't matter. That's just incestuous, what if he doesn't see you the way you see him? That's a great way to end your brotherly relationship. These are just some of the thoughts I was having. Throughout the day, along the journey I was checking out Edmund and how he suddenly hit puberty, he grew like 6 inches since the first time we went into Narnia. You couldn't blame me for what I did that night. Once I thought he was fast asleep, I stood beside his sleeping form ghosting my fingers on his cheeks so fair and beautiful. I was tempted by the luscious pink lips that were slightly ajar so I kissed him, lightly as to not wake him up. When he opened his eyes, I was shocked beyond belief and hoped he had just stirred in his sleep. He touched his lips as I swallowed my hope, Peter, did- did you kiss me? I didn't have the will to answer so I turned and left, tears streaming down my eyes Sorry, sorry, sorry.... I said again and again as if it would fix everything. Edmund followed me and when he reached me he asked the question again. I simply nodded and looked away, why? He asked. I gathered every bit of courage I had and spoke the three words I had been wanting to tell him for so long. I love you. He didn't react. I'm so sorry, Ed. I never meant to fall for you. It's just you can't pick who you fall for. I'm sorry I even kissed you. I know you're not gay. It's okay if you feel disgusted with me, I understand but please don't hate me. I'm sorry. He didn't react to everything I had said. Don't be he answered. Edmund embraced me tightly and tilted his head up to my ear. I love you too. Honestly, I thought I was going to faint. [Really? Cause that just makes things funnier for me.]…[Edmund, please keep quiet, Peter's letting his heart out.] Thank you Lucy. As I was saying, this handsome young man that I love, hugged me tightly and I broke down in his embrace crying. Edmund seemed distressed with what I did. [I didn't know what to do. He was crying so hard and I felt guilty all over again.] guilty? [I can't help feel guilty because it seemed that you were hurting yourself with thoughts of me. All the little details that were so insignificant before was then so important.] Aww, Ed... [GUYS! No french kissing in front of the little sister!] ...look away...[Argh, alright]...[You guys done yet?] mmhm..[Yeah, were done.] toffee? [sweet huh?] sweet.
[Can we guys get back to the story?]
Ed, I think this part is better in your point of view.
What part is it?
Its the siege itself, you know when you got captured.
Oh... Okay, So our army advanced in the dead of the night towards cauldron pool. Furies flying above in patrol. The mice should have done their job and opened the fortress gates before we were sighted. One by one our archers took the furies in silence. Then a yell from behind the ranks took everyone's notice. Then Peter caught my eye, it's a trap, he mouthed. When Peter ordered everyone to fall back, the enemies appeared one by one. They all advanced towards Peter I used my cross-bow to keep the flying ones away from him. Peter unmounted and began slashing the enemies that came close to him he's back was turned when a werewolf with a big bag came behind him. Peter! I called out. I ran toward him and pushed him away and I was the one the thing caught, in the darkness it didn't see that he had caught the wrong king but with a howl, the enemies vanished into the night.
Ed?
Yeah?
May I…?
Sure.
Edmund really took it upon himself to protect me that night. I thought my heart shattered when the enemies pulled back along with him. I was going to go after him when Oreious told me that we needed to pull back and start anew because we lost a number of soldiers at the attack. I saw that it was for the best so I complied. But early the next morning I sneaked out of camp it was still well after midnight.
[I can't believe Susan and I were doing nothing in the castle while you two had an adventure.]
Don't worry, Lucy I think Peter and I didn't enjoy that adventure very much.
I know what you mean, Ed. Our army almost lost two Kings then...
Speaking of that night, Peter. It was horrible, when they let me out, I was in the middle of a crowd and got the beating of my life before they took my weapons and threw me in a cell. I lost my courage and hope, I felt afraid and alone, I wished to see my brother again. I could hear the roar of the waterfall outside. My cell was made of tree trunks and two ogres guarded me. I was lying on the cold floor of the cave tracing circles on it, wondering what they will do to me. I fell asleep only to be woken up by a loud thud. I scrambled to my feet to see that Peter struck down the guards, slashing at the latch on my cage. The moment I was free, I punched him in the face [I honestly thought he was just going to give me a hug.] I said How dare you come after me! tears were already threatening to fall you could've been captured. That's what they wanted! An army without a king... Peter was taken back and answered, You know, it's funny. I thought you'd be happy to get away from this. I told him to shut up and get us out of there. Two hags came in and the two of us bolted for our escape. Peter was pulling me by the hand through the maze of a cave. A mountain troll blocked the only way out. Edmund, I distract him while you run. Peter told me. I am not leaving you, Peter. I answered him. He looked in my eyes with a serious gaze. Do as you're told. He repeated his line. The troll then noticed us and roared in fury several enemies cam bounding through. Go! He yelled at me. I knew I needed to go and I can't bend Peter's will so I gave him a kiss and ran away. [That wasn't really a good idea since I became dazed after.] Peter... [Sorry, ruining the moment.] I got through safely but inside I could hear the creatures overpowering him. I was helpless, I just stood there waiting for the noise to die down or find Peter running out. I couldn't make myself leave without him. Then I saw him running out a pack of wolves after him. When he reached me, he grabbed my hand and pulled me after him. Peter was running towards the camp so I stopped him and cleared the fact that we can't lead the enemies to the camp. We turned south away from cauldron pool until we crossed a river where the wolves lost our scent. Peter led me to a small cave at the bottom of a cliff, where we kept silent, though our breathing became ragged and heavy. When we were sure we lost them both of us suddenly sighed and in unison we said I'm sorry, we laughed at that and when silence overtook again, Peter gave me a soft kiss. [Should one consider himself lucky to have his first kiss at the age of 12?] You kissed me, remember? [You, yourself said that you kissed me before your escape.]…[Ed, you're blushing and I didn't even know you had your first kiss at 12... Peter, really? Were you some kind of a Pedo?]…[Lucy, I am not a pedophile, I was only 15 then.] Anyway! Peter and I got back to the camp just in time as the morning horn was blown. After a tactical plan from yours truly, we were successful in driving them away. Threw was a great celebration at the castle the day we returned.
I'm guessing you two had a celebration of your own.
What? No...
We only shared a kiss, right Pete?
Yeah and Lucy how could you even think about a 12 year old getting it on with a 15 year old.
Peter, I wasn't saying anything of that sort. You're the on who thought that.
Oh... Sorry :)
Anyway, in-behalf of Peter and Lucy. I would like to say that this will be it for now. Thanks for listening or um reading. I'm sad to say that JM hasn't come back yet but left a note here that says: Leave a review before you go, I'd love to hear some from you and thanks for coming by.
Edmund
Yeah? Oh, JM you're back. can we get a break before the next recording?
Sure. But please don't fight and speaking of fighting, thank you Queen Lucy.
Don't mention it and I was glad to be here, I never knew my brother had his first kiss when he was freaking 12.
OMA, Really? I better listen to the recording later.
Can we stop talking about me, having my first kiss? Yes I was 12 then. Can we stop now? It was Peter who drove me to it.
So its my fault?
I didn't say I didn't like it.
JM! Avert your eyes! Brothers frenchie alert!
Thanks for the warning, Lu. My nose lost enough blood already. Anyway, Thanks for stopping by!
