Chapter Two

Serenity sighed as she sat in the bathtub. Little Tayla was on the window seal of the bathroom. 'I don't think I have been this clean in a long time.' She thought as she climbed out of the tub and wrapped a fluffy towel around her. She looked at the new clean clothes laid out in front of her and slightly shook her head. "I think I can do without the fancy clothes though." She said her final thoughts out loud. Tayla hopped off the ledge and into the room, "I think the dress will look beautiful on you, Princess." Serenity smiled at the young griffin. The other four young griffins came flying into the room from the same window Tayla came in. "THERE ARE MORE GRIFFINS LIKE US!" They all chimed. Serenity smiled and said softly, "Because the Narnians are no longer afraid to hide."

A knock came at the door and without waiting for a reply Caspian came in. "Well you look so much better clean, Sister." Serenity scoffed, "Well I'm sorry. I've been living in the wilderness for over 3 years." Caspian looked at his sister unsure of what to say. He stood there for a moment then asked, "What happened to you? Why did you leave?" She knew that question was going to come up. Serenity sat down on what she would now call her bed and sighed.

"I had found out that our Uncle Miraz had killed our father. Miraz knew that I had found out the truth so he was plotting my death to make it look like an accident. Doctor Cornelius knew what was going on so he went into the woods to look for something. He came back with a black horse, had me pack a few things then told me to leave. The black horse was really Risika, my companion."

"A few days after my escape, Risika took me far deep with in the woods. We found a cave inhabited by two griffins, Mina and Dac. They welcomed us into their cave and allowed us to stay for shelter. A few months ago Dac died just after his children were born. He had grown sick."

Serenity only added the last part about Dac to avoid any other questions of him. She looked at the five young griffins with sadness. "Risika, Mina, and I have taken care of these five little ones the best we can. But they are well known for trouble." She laughed slightly. Caspian looked at his sister, "I'm sorry for never looking for you after we were finally all free. I just figured you…you were…" Serenity shook her head, "Its okay." She stood up and looked at her brother, "Let us no longer speak of things that sadden us so. Tell me what are these Kings and Queens of Old like?"

Caspian smiled, "Well to start with, I am married to Susan. She is my soul mate and the only reason why we know this is from these gems that were given to each King and Queen. The gem would glow when they had found their soul mate and they are only allowed to marry their soul mate." Serenity couldn't help but chuckle slightly. "Well thankfully I'm not stuck in any of that." Caspian looked at her but didn't tell her what Peter and him had talked about last night.

Flashback To Last Night

"What do you mean my sister is your soul mate?" Caspian asked the High King Peter. Peter looked at Caspian, "When I saw your sister my gem began to glow. Thankfully no one saw it." Caspian walked around the table and sat at the end. "What are you going to do?" Peter shook his head, "I am not sure, but I don't want to force a marriage that neither your sister or I would want. Tell me a little a little about her." Caspian smirked a little at the thought of his sister, "Well she is hard headed and stubborn, hates being told what to do, and known for driving men crazy." Peter groaned slightly, "I do not seeing this end well." He muttered as he went off to his room to think.

Caspian watched the High King walk off before he went off to his own room. Susan was sitting at the edge of the bed when Caspian walked in. "Must be weird finding your long lost sister." She said softly. Caspian smiled at her, "But it is a pleasant surprise." Susan nodded, "I know I probably should not tell you, but I could see Peter's gem glow from under his shirt. I don't think Lucy or Edmund noticed, but I am surprised Peter hasn't said anything." Caspian laughed. He was relieved his wife had noticed, because he wasn't sure how he would ever be able to keep that secret from her.

"He talked to me already about it." Caspian said as he sat next to his loving wife. "Well at least he talked to someone. What is he going to do?" "I think he wants to avoid it all and forget." Susan looked at Caspian with a raised eyebrow. "Well looks like we're going to have to do something about that."
