Serenity walked along in the direction that Aslan had said that the waterfall was to be. Risika walked closely behind her wings tight on her sides, as the forest got denser the further they went in. "Are we even going in the right direction?" Serenity asked her friend. Risika snorted, "Of course." Serenity looked back at her friend and sighed as she continued to walk.

About an hour later Serenity could hear the waterfall in the distance. "Finally…" She muttered under her breath at the same time thinking how much easier this all would have been if Risika had just flown them both to the waterfall. She was about to grumble some more until she really began to look around. Her breath was taken away at what she saw, the most beautiful clean water ever. "I've never seen a place like this." She spoke softly looking at Risika. Risika smiled a horse smile "Because places like this rarely exist anymore."

Serenity began to climb down the rocks heading for the waterfall. "Where do you think you're going?" a voice asked. Serenity looked around for where the voice had come from, but she could not see anything. "Down here." The voice said again. Serenity looked down at the water and saw a girl in it. "Why are you in the water?" Serenity asked ignoring the other question the girl had asked. "Because I live here of course." The girl lifted her tail out of the water with a slight smile on her face. "Now answer my question. Where do you think you are going?"

"A friend sent me here. He said he left something for me." She replied to the mermaid. Serenity didn't know what to think, she had never seen a mermaid but for the pictures in books. "And who might be this friend?" The mermaid asked looking amused. "Aslan." Serenity answered hesitantly. "Princess Serenity I presume, well well why didn't you say so."

The mermaid went back into the water and disappeared for a few minutes before reappearing at the surface. "These are for you." The mermaid said while showing the most beautiful bow that Serenity had ever seen. "Thank you." Serenity spoke as the mermaid gave the bow to her. The mermaid smiled and disappeared back into the depths of the waterfall.

"I hope I never have to use this." Serenity said while looking up at her friend. Risika snorted, "Danger comes quicker then we wish. Aslan said you had a journey to complete." Serenity frowned, "It would be helpful if I knew where I was going and what I needed to do." "Come on lets get back to the palace, you're brother must be worried sick by now."

"Where the hell have you been?" Caspian was standing tapping on his foot as Risika landed in front of him. Serenity smirked a little, "Well, Risika and I had a little adventure." Caspian sighed, "Next time please warn someone instead of making us look around for you." Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy all came out too meet them. They had obviously seen Risika land.

"I see she has come back." Peter said with a slight look of disappointment on his face. "Of course I came back. Where else would I go? Mina and the others are still here." Serenity responded with her arms crossed in front of her. Susan looked at Serenity's new bow with slight curiosity. "Where did you get that?" She asked.

Serenity wasn't sure if she should say that the bow and arrows had come from Aslan. "A mermaid gave them to me." She said since it was the truth, but not the whole truth. "May I see it?" Susan asked. Serenity nodded and handed her bow to Susan. Susan studied the design looking curiously at it. "This bow is gorgeous. You are very lucky to receive a gift from the mermaids." Susan said as she saw the symbol of the lion. She looked at Serenity, knowing that Serenity was not telling the truth or at least the full truth. 'There is probably a reason why she does not tell everyone she got the bow from Aslan….I shall ask her later when her and I are alone.' Susan decided as she handed the bow back to her sister in law.

"Thank you." Serenity smiled. "I am very tired from today's journey. So if you will excuse me." Serenity said leaving as quickly as she could before anyone else said something. Caspian watched his sister go wondering what she was hiding. He still knew her well enough to know she was hiding something.
