Finding: Trust~Epilogue: Edmund

It was over.

All I could do was breath. Deep breaths. In and out. In and out. In. Out.

Someone was leading me somewhere-I had no idea where, but the hand was gentle, and I was too exhausted to fight it.

I realized the thick rope that had bound my wrists was gone. Maybe whoever was holding my arm had cut me loose. Had I been rescued? What had happened?

"Peace, my son," came a kind, reassuring voice.

"Aslan?"

"I am here, little one. Rest, we will be with you brother shortly."

"Peter?"

A second voice said, "I'll run ahead and get him." The hand on my arm disappeared, and a large, warm object came in close. Aslan's fur was soft, and I buried my head in his mane.

"Aslan, I don't understand. What happened? Where are we? Where did you come from? Why-"

"Edmund!" a loud voice called. Footsteps pounded toward me before I was thrown into a tight bear hug. "You're alright, you're safe, I've got you..." Peter continued to mutter into my ear.

"Peter?" My legs gave out, forcing me to lean on my brother. Peter took the majority of my weight. "Peter, I can't see you. What's going on?"

"Aslan, what's wrong with him? Why can't he see?"

"We think the Wolves hit him too hard yesterday."

Was it really only yesterday? Surely it had been longer.

"Edmund!" I heard more voices, all worried and excited, followed by the sweet scents of my sisters. I closed my eyes and focused on their heartbeats, their warm embrace, everything about them that told me they were there.

I sighed. We were safe. It was over.

"Let's get back to the camp," another voice suggested.

There was a flurry of movement, and I listened to the sounds of everyone standing up and walking around. I didn't move, and neither did Peter.

Images-memories-began flashing in front of my eyes, of the Witch's castle, of her camp, of the creatures who called themselves her subjects. They were all disjointed and were joined with sounds and smells that I would never be able to forget. The memories were overwhelming, and I sank to the ground. My head was swirling. I didn't know it was possible to be dizzy when one couldn't see. People shouted things around me, but none of it was recognizable.

I just wanted it to stop.

"Breathe, Ed. In and out. Listen to me, Edmund, you have to calm down. Just follow the sound of my voice. In... out... In... That's right, Eddy, Out..."

"Aslan," I whispered.

"Hush, child. Rest. We will talk when you wake up."

And with His permission, I fell asleep in my brother's arms.

Well. Here we are. This is it. We've reached the end of another story. Thank you for joining me on this journey! It's been a blast. Please read on for my proposal. :D

As you can see, there are still several issues left unresolved. At the end of Finding: Answers I posted a preview chapter to this story. This time I'm doing something a bit different. YES, THERE WILL BE ANOTHER STORY!

The third part of this series has not yet been completely written, and it may be a while before that happens. However, my dear readers, I would like to give you a sneak peak anyway, and get some opinions of what is about to come.

So here's the deal. I have 28 followers and 15 favorites on this story. That's pretty decent, if you ask me. I don't exactly enjoy begging for reviews-nor, at this point, am I extremely desperate, as I do get quite a few good ones, thanks so some super amazing readers. This is actually not me begging, anyway, because it's not my loss if no one reviews.

IF YOU ARE AMONG REVIEWERS ONE THROUGH FIVE OF THIS CHAPTER (1-5): You will receive the title, a small summery, an introduction to three new characters, and a brief preview into the first chapter of the third portion of this series.

IF YOU ARE AMONG REVIEWERS SIX THROUGH TEN OF THIS CHAPTER (6-10): You will receive the title, a small summery, and and an introduction to one new character of the third portion of this series.

IF YOU ARE AMONG REVIEWERS ELEVEN THROUGH FIFTEEN OF THIS CHAPTER (11-15): You will receive the title and a small summery of the third portion of this series.

IF YOU ARE AMONG REVIEWERS SIXTEEN AND UP (16+): You will receive the title of the third portion of this series.

If you are among the people who did not review in the first group and would like to read the preview and meet the characters, do not worry. If I have not posted the first chapter of this new story by APRIL 15TH I will do so by posting the information as the next chapter of this story.
