CHAPTER THREE: INTO THE NEW WORLD

Susan was wandering in a long white road of nothingness. She thought she's dead or what.

"Peter?Edmund?Lucy?...Caspian? Where are you? She called them but no one answered. After a couple of time, the lights became so bright. She can't even see her own feet. Suddenly, she heard a very familiar voice.

"Trust on yourself, my dear child. Be brave High Queen of Narnia. Everything has their own reasons." And the voice was gone.

She woke up with a very painful headache. She noticed that she's in a very soft bed. The four posts were made of mahogany wood and were decorated by intricate carvings of men with bow and arrow. Wait a minute! Susan looked to the carvings and saw that they were not men. They have long pointed ears and long hair. "What are they? Are they some sort of creatures in the wooden forest of Narnia?" Susan thought they might be related to dwarfs but they're way too taller.

She crawled up from her bed and really had a hard time to stand. She was wobbling and searched for something familiar. The room was dimmed and designed with lots of green and brown decorations.

"I've never seen like this in Cair Paravel or any place in Narnia before."

Everything around her were earthly and sophisticated. She was amazed yet still feel curious and worried. She moved forward towards the door but was shocked when a hooded figure opened it and went inside her chamber.

"I see. You're now awake."

"Who are you? Where am I? Where are my brothers and sister?"

"Hush High Queen of Narnia...It's not me whom you should know the name for. I'm just a humble servant to my prince. But if you want, I'll give my precious name to you in exchange of just a small favor. And I think you will love the taste of that small favor." said the hooded figure grinning.

Susan shivered with what the man said. "Get out!", she shouted. But the man advances his space towards the gentle queen.

"I think my prince wouldn't mind to share his prize." , the man laughed.

"Leave me alone! Get away from me!".Her back was now pressed on the wall. Susan was very scared and just hope that her siblings or Caspian will be there to help her. She didn't have her bow and arrow or even her horn to ask for some rescue. Not until...

"Haldir! Move your filthy body from her!" A loud and commanding voice was heard from the door.

"I'm sorry your highness. I just...just admired her beauty..." the hooded man stuttered.

"It's not how elves admired a real beauty. Get out and go to your station now! Or else I might do something bad to you!"

The hooded figure Haldir hurriedly go out from Susan's room. She is now facing her rescuer. She noticed that the man in front of her doesn't have hood unlike the other one. He has a long blond hair and blue eyes. She was mesmerized with how delicate and fair his skin was. And she noticed too that his ears are longer just like the figures that she saw on the carvings.

The man or some sort of creature looked at her and said, "How are you fairing my lady?"

"What kind of creature are you?" The man laughed so hard. "Is it your first time to see an elf?"

"Elf?"

"Well, I guess it is. It seems like you are very mesmerized with my appearance. Am I too handsome for you?"

"Don't be so arrogant! Where am I? Who are you? Why did you bring me here?"

"Shhh...you have lots of questions that I couldn't answer for a while now. I'm afraid that if I will give you what you want you will escape this place. But I remember, even you tried to flee from here, maybe you couldn't get out alive though. Unless, you want to face Haldir again and his fellow perverts." he snickered.

"I'm the High Queen of Narnia, Susan Pevensie. I am a royalty and a good archer. I can't understand why are you doing this to me?"

"I simply want you to be my wife. Stay with me and your kingdom will be safe."

Susan just narrowed her eyes. "Tell me your name."

The elf sighed.

"I am no other than Prince Legolas of Mirkwood my lady."
