Chapter Two: Voyage to World's End
'Once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen. May your wisdom grace us until the stars rain down from the heavens.' Aslan, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Fox/Walden Media)
Location: Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England, Earth
Time: August 1942 CE
Harry, Lucy and Edmund had been living at the Scrubb household in Cambridge now for almost a month, and the three "guests" were continually doing all of the chores themselves, Harold always just seemed to sit there reading the paper, Alberta was always off with her friends somewhere and Eustace, well who knew what Eustace did? Something horrid no doubt.
Harry was lying back on his bed in the smallest of the house's four bedrooms, staring at the ceiling. 'Harry, Alberta asked Edmund and I to get some groceries today. Do you want to come too?' Lucy asked her best friend from the door to his room, knowing full well that he would agree just so that he could escape from Eustace, who had been treating Harry like trash since they had arrived two weeks ago. Harry just nodded as he rapidly followed Lucy down the stairs, pulling on his shoes almost without stopping.
An hour later, Harry and Lucy were wandering through the vegetables section of the market looking for the elusive carrots which Harold had asked for, but try as they might, the best they could find was turnips. As they collected the ordered loaf of bread from the bakery, Harry looked around and wondered aloud, 'Where's Ed?'
'Oh not again!' Lucy said frustrated, before leading Harry to the register to pay for the groceries. As Lucy collected the change, she told Harry to go wait by the bikes while she went to find Edmund.
Five minutes later, Harry smirked as a smug Lucy led a thoroughly cowed Edmund over. The look on Edmund's face caused Harry to start laughing. 'Shut up Harry! You're supposed to be on my side here!' Edmund groaned, but Harry just shook his head and put his arm around Lucy's shoulder.
'Lu's my friend, you've been teasing me all year, and she's better looking than you are.' Harry replied as Lucy blushed slightly, poking her tongue out at Ed, who's extremely mature comeback was to simply make kissy faces...again.
'Come on then.' Lucy said with a smile as she grabbed the handlebars of the bike they were using to help them carry the groceries back to the Scrubb Household.
Harry was back in his room, easily the smallest of the house's four bedrooms, and he could faintly hear Lucy berating her uncle, and then Eustace before 'Ed! It's from Su!' followed by two sets of footsteps up the stairs towards Lucy's room. Lucy did poke her head in to Harry's room as she passed and gestured him to follow. 'Come on Harry, you can escape Eustace for a while with us!'
Harry smiled and followed his best friend, as he entered the room he could already hear Lucy reading the letter out loud. Lucy and Edmund had sat on the bed, so Harry took the wooden backed chair that was against the wall opposite the bed. Harry didn't really listen to the newsy items in Susan's letter, but one sentence caught his attention. 'Please try to spend a little time with Edmund and not all of it with that boyfriend of yours...' Lucy read out loud, whacking Edmund over the back of his head when he laughed about that before muttering something about going to kill Susan when she got back from America.
Harry, however had now taken to staring at the painting on the far wall of the small bedroom, it was a painting of an old sailing ship with a dragon-head prow and a purple sail in the midst of a stormy sea. 'Lu? I really love that painting there! It must be the only piece of art in this whole house!' Harry noted as he moved closer.
'Yes it is isn't it. It's very Narnian looking if you ask me.' Lucy replied with a wistful sigh as she joined Harry and walked over to it, she really missed Narnia. 'What do you think, Ed?'
Edmund also stood to get a closer look. 'Yeah, it looks almost like the sea is moving!'
Then, Eustace blundered in and started whining about Lucy, Edmund and Harry having to stay at his house, and conversation between he and Edmund quickly turned argumentative. Lucy and Harry meanwhile, continued to watch the painting, and both stole a quick glance and secret smile when they realised that the sea was actually moving. Soon sea spray was flying out of the painting, covering Harry and Lucy in water droplets.
Gradually more and more water trickled, and then flowed out of the painting, and when Eustace lifted the painting off the wall to try and smash it, the water POURED out of the painting, and soon Lucy's bedroom was filled knee deep with water, and the level was rapidly rising. Very quickly the water level had risen above their heads and the bedroom had faded out of existence...
Location: Aboard the Dawn Treader, somewhere south-west of the Lone Islands, Great Eastern Ocean, Narnia
Time: 2306 NY
The four young children now found themselves some ten metres under water in the middle of the ocean. Lucy, Edmund and Eustace looked to be struggling slightly without oxygen, but Harry knew he would be fine for maybe another 20 minutes thanks to his respiratory bypass, and that was more than they would need. Harry gave Edmund and Eustace a hard push and they both gradually rose to the surface before he helped Lucy upwards. Once they got to the surface, Lucy and Edmund were the easy ones, as all Narnians could swim, but Harry had to push Eustace back up twice, then he and Edmund had to fight to stop Eustace from thrashing while swimming out of the way of the ship that was now bearing down on them.
Harry vaguely noticed three splashes as crew members of the ship dived into the water to help them and then he heard Lucy's excited voice as she recognised the man nearest her, 'Ca-Ca-Caspian!'
A few short minutes later, the seven were back on board the ship, wrapped in blankets and Harry was being introduced to Caspian. 'Your Majesty,' Harry bowed. 'Queen Lucy has told me much about her last visit to Narnia.'
'No need to bow Harry, any friend of Lucy and Edmund's is a friend of mine. Although from what I heard about you from Lucy last time she was here, maybe it's not just friend?' Caspian joked, raising his eyebrow, and the three boys laughed as Lucy whacked Caspian's arm as she admonished him.
'GET THAT STINKING THING OFF OF ME!' Eustace suddenly screeched near the stairs to the forecastle as the Narnian monarchs and Harry turned to see a large mouse bounding off of Eustace and heading towards them.
Harry spoke first as he bowed to the noble and valiant mouse. 'You must be the valiant Sir Reepicheep, Knight of Narnia.'
'Indeed I am. And it is a pleasure to meet you. Am I to assume that you are Lucy's beau, the famous Harry?' Reepicheep added with a toothy grin.
'Harry is not my beau!' Lucy said in frustration stamping her foot, although the blush and something else in her eyes were quite evident to everyone. 'Hello, Reepicheep.' Lucy added then with a smile.
Harry moved aside so that Edmund and Lucy could greet their friend. 'Your Majesties, nothing except your humble presence was lacking from this noble endeavour of ours.' Reepicheep said as he removed the feather adorned ring from his head, sweeping into an elegant bow.
'Hello, Reep. It's good to see you.' Edmund said with a friendly smile.
Caspian now moved to the stairs towards the poop deck and standing on a stair about halfway up, he announced to the crew, 'Crew! Behold our castaways. Edmund the Just, and Lucy the Valiant, High King and Queen of Narnia, and their friend Harry, who Lucy says is not her beau!' Caspian said the last as a joke and all the crew laughed, and laughed even harder when Lucy stomped her foot and glared evilly at Caspian once more before joining in the laughter as well.
Harry finally breathed a sigh of relief as he finished pulling on the dry clothes that he had been handed by Caspian when he showed Lucy the cabin she would be using. He glanced down at the clothes, slightly baggy pants, a baggy sleeved tunic and a Narnian red vest with ornate patterning embroidered in gold. A leather belt held the too big pants up, and another thick brown leather belt ensured that he was not completely swimming in the clothes. The shoes he had been offered, a spare pair of somebody's sea boots, were too big for him, so he decided to go barefoot.
He stepped out from the changing area, and he followed Edmund and Caspian up to the port aft cabin. There he met Captain Drinian and after a thorough accounting of both the voyage of this ship, he learnt was called the Dawn Treader, but also of how he, Lucy, Edmund and Eustace came to be in Narnia, including Harry's part in pushing them to the surface, he found himself being knighted by Caspian in recognition of saving the High King and Queen. He could still barely believe it even as Caspian finished the age old ritual with, 'Rise Sir Harry Lionheart, Knight of Narnia.'

Time: 2306 NY
The Dawn Treader rocked violently from side to side, pitching up and down as it climbed massive waves only to fall down the other side. The ship had left Narrowhaven, the fishing port located on Doorn, the largest of the Lone Islands just six days earlier, and were now in the middle of the largest storm any of the crew had ever seen. 'Four spokes to port!' Captain Drinian yelled above the tempest as he, Caspian and Harry worked hard to steer the ship against the might of the waves.
'Harry!' Caspian yelled. 'You better get down below, get some sleep. You've been working harder than anyone expected you too. Go!' Caspian added as Harry looked rebelliously at the King of Narnia. Harry nodded and stumbled down from the poop deck and into the corridor leading to the various cabins. As he swayed down the corridor, he heard the sounds of sobbing coming from the cabin normally reserved for Caspian, which he knew was now occupied by Lucy. Tentatively, he pushed the door open, and looking around the room, he found Lucy.
She was sitting under the window, her back hard up against the wall, and his heart broke as he caught sight of her face, tears streaking down and marring her pretty face, her legs pulled up against her chest. Harry cautiously walked over to his best friend and slowly sat down beside her, his arm pulling her closer, allowing her to draw comfort from him. Lucy buried her head in his shoulder and she continued to sob, her arms now wrapped around the neck of her best and dearest friend.
After several minutes, Lucy's sobs gradually abated and were replaced by sniffles before Lucy finally spoke. 'Oh Harry! I'm so sorry I cried on you. You must think me a right old sook!'
'Never, Lu. You're scared of storms, aren't you?' Harry asked. Lucy's answer was a squeal at the next clap of thunder, burying her face into his shoulder once more, nodding against it. 'That's not all is it though?'
'No, it isn't.' Lucy admitted softly. 'I was thinking about...I was...thinking about the Lone Islands.'
'Oh.' Harry realised. 'Do you want to talk about it?' Harry then asked quietly.
Flashback
Location: The Isle of Felimath, the Lone Islands, Kingdom of Narnia, Narnia
Time: 2306 NY
The Dawn Treader's longboat ran aground on the wide south-western beach of Felimath and the three monarchs of Narnia, along with Harry, Eustace and the valiant mouse Reepicheep stepped out onto the sand and as the longboat was rowed back towards the ship, the group set off across the beach towards the wide pastures of the island. They came to the top of the ridge on the west of Felimath which overlooked the whole of the Lone Islands, and Lucy clapped excitedly seeing the familiarity of the archipelago. 'Same old Doorn! Same old Avra!' she said with a smile.
'Wait, who's that down there?' Edmund asked looking down from the ridge to a group of six or seven armed men sitting by a tree at the bottom of the valley.
'I don't know.' Caspian said. 'But we mustn't tell them who we are.'
'I agree.' Lucy affirmed immediately.
'Pray, why not, Your Majesties?' Reepicheep asked from his perch on Lucy's shoulder.
'Because, we have no way of knowing whether the Lone Islanders still recognise, or even acknowledge, our over-lordship.'
The strange group made their way down the valley, and despite trying to avoid a conversation of any sort with the group, they were soon set upon, and after a short swordfight, in which Lucy surprised everyone present with her ability with a sword, taking down two of the men on her own before the leader, Pug, brought the fight to an end with a short dagger held to Eustace's throat, all were captured. 'Now, now, everyone just calm down and none of you will get hurt.
The slave traders bundled the captives down to a small jetty by an inn on the western shore of Felimath, where they were accosted by a well groomed man carrying an ornate Narnian sword. 'Well Pug? How much for this one?' the man asked as he placed his hand on Caspian's shoulder. 'And don't give me any of the filthy rigmarole of your insidious trade!' He barked as Pug started a long-winded sales pitch.
'Three hundred crescents for you, milord.' Pug replied, a Calormene crescent, the currency used in the Lone Islands, being equal to a Narnian "Lion", which is equal to about 30 modern pence, or as Lucy and Edmund would know it, approximately 6 shillings.
'Three hundred?' the man asked with contempt. 'I'll give you one hundred and fifty.'
The deal done, Caspian was dragged away by his new master even as Lucy near screamed out, 'Please don't separate us!'
But the man could not afford more than one slave and so the others were shoved into the small boat against the jetty and the short journey across to Narrowhaven began.
Harry and Lucy awoke to find themselves chained side by side to a wall against the side of the market square in the centre of Narrowhaven. The next day, Market Day, both ten year olds were dragged up onto a stage in the centre of the square, and the bidding on various slaves began, until it was time for Lucy to be sold. Harry watched in barely controlled anger as Tacks, the burliest of the slave traders, dragged Lucy to centre stage and Pug started taking bids. 'Do I hear eighty credits for this pretty little lady, perfect company on those lonely nights away from home?' Pug said in sickly sweet voice.
'Ninety? Do I hear one hundred?' The bidding went on for several minutes. 'Three hundred and fifty credits? Sold! Thank you very much sir!' Pug said as a sign reading SOLD was hung around Lucy's neck and she was dragged away to a hungry looking Calormene Tarkaan.
Just minutes later, however, everyone in the square was forced to their knees as Caspian entered with Bern, now Duke of the Lone Islands and all slaves were ordered released, Lucy soon being wrapped in a group hug by Caspian, Edmund and Harry.

'It's all over now Lu.' Harry whispered consolingly as the last few tears leaked out of Lucy's eyes to be soaked up by Harry's tunic and he rubbed her back soothingly. 'You're safe here.'
Location: Aboard the Dawn Treader, somewhere east of Deathwater Island, Great Eastern Ocean, Narnia
Time: 2306 NY
The Dawn Treader continued it's eastward journey now, but the ship was just a shadow of what it had been when it had sailed from Cair Paravel over a month ago, the mast now lost somewhere behind them during a storm, a scrap of the sail now held up by the jury-mast, that is the bowsprit lashed to the stump of the mainmast. They were now sailing as best they could towards an island on the horizon, searching for a place where they might find more provisions and possibly to rest for a week or so.
Down below, Harry and Lucy were lounging against the headboard of the luxurious double bed in the royal cabin Lucy currently occupied, reminiscing about the last week and a half of the voyage since they had lost the mast and the dragon-head prow. In that time, they had come across a volcanic island, and while exploring, discovered that Eustace had been transformed into a dragon. After several days on the island, Eustace had an encounter with the Great Lion Aslan and was changed back into a boy, albeit a much changed and polite boy.
Shortly afterwards they had had a disastrous encounter with a sea serpent, which had tried to crush the ship but had been foiled by the brilliance of Reepicheep, who encouraged the crew to push the loop of the serpent's body off the back of the ship so that the Dawn Treader might sail free.
Several days later, the Dawn Treader anchored in a sheltered cove on a small island and a small party made up of Caspian, Eustace, Harry, Edmund and Lucy set out to explore the island. As the remainder of the crew took on board fresh water and some small fruits and berries as provisions, the explorers struck inland and up hill until they found another stream on the far side of the island. Following it downhill, they took a moment to rest when Edmund sat down, inadvertently placing his hand amongst the heather before giving a shout of pain and pulling his hand back, showing a cut shining with blood.
A drop or two from Lucy's magical cordial soon healed the wound and Edmund searched the heather to find an old rusted Narnia sword, and with Caspian's help also extricated a large shield with the arms of the Lord Restimar emblazoned upon it.
After further searching, the group came across a cave which held within it a shallow pool. The explorers all crowded around the pool and could see within it a statue made of pure gold. After testing the water with a sprig of heather, which instantly turned to gold, both Caspian and Edmund became bewitched by the island. 'You know Harry...' Lucy said during their reminiscence, '...I truly believe that had I not stepped between them, and had Aslan not appeared, that Edmund and Caspian might have killed each other.'
'I believe you're right, Lu.' Harry agreed thoughtfully. 'After all, they were completely drunk on the power that the island could give them, which is exactly why Deathwater Island is the best name for it.'

Time: 2306 NY
'Are you okay, Lu?' Harry asked softly as Lucy stood in front of the hammock that he occupied while Caspian and Edmund looked on.
She shook her head and near-whispered, 'I can't sleep' before turning around and running back out of the cabin. Both Caspian and Edmund made to go after her, but Harry said that he would talk to her.
Harry made his way out onto deck searching for Lucy. His search led him back below deck and into Lucy's cabin, eventually finding her on the small balcony astern of her cabin, singing softly to herself.
'He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell,
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.'
Harry recognised the words of the hymn 'All Things Bright and Beautiful' and smiled at Lucy's beautiful singing voice as he moved to stand next to her, finding her face tear-streaked once again. 'What's the matter, Lu?' Harry asked as he placed his hand over hers, joining her in staring out over the moonlit ocean.
'I was thinking about what happened on Coriakin's Island.' Lucy replied, still looking out over the ocean. 'Not just what you all know, that I had to make the Dufflepuds visible, but something that none of you know...' she continued, launching into her story.
Flashback
Location: Coriakin's Island, Great Eastern Ocean, Narnia
Time: 2306 NY
Lucy stepped into the mansion and started climbing the staircase, trying her hardest to control her fear, every creak of a floorboard seemed to betray someone or something in the shadows, every shadow seemed to move. Slowly she made her way upwards and then along the first floor corridor towards the room at the end, the room where she could already see the Book she required sitting on a lectern in the middle of the room.
She turned the pages past the Spell to Make it Snow and soon came across a spell which she found of great interest. The page was ornately decorated in the style of an illuminated manuscript but it was the title of the spell that really caught Lucy's attention, the Spell to Make You Beautiful. Now, Lucy's family had always unwittingly made Lucy feel plain in comparison to her sister Susan and so she immediately read through the words of the spell, and moving over to the mirror she recited the magic words.
'Transform my reflection,
lashes, lips and complexion,
make me she,
whom I'd agree,
holds more beauty over me.'
Immediately, she saw her face changing shape and soon, there in the mirror she took on the appearance of Susan. Not knowing why, she pushed open the mirror (for it was now a door) and found herself at a party in America, accompanied by both Peter and Edmund, who, calling her Susan, had no recollection of having a younger sister by the name of Lucy. 'Peter! Edmund! I want to go back to Narnia. I want to see Harry!' she said desperately, but neither brother knew of Harry or Narnia.
Lucy instantaneously found herself back in Coriakin's Library, and she recited the Spell to Make Things Visible only to find Aslan fading into sight. 'You doubt your value, child?' Aslan asked, but continued without waiting for an answer. 'Your brothers and sister would not know Narnia, or Harry, without you Dear One, nor would they know me. Remember that there are those you find you beautiful just as you are.'
'I'm so sorry Aslan, I would never want all that. But who would find me beautiful?' Lucy apologised profusely to the Great Lion.
'No one is told what would have happened and no one is told any story other than their own, dear one.' Aslan told the girl. 'Don't doubt your value, and don't run from who you are. Now come, and you shall meet Coriakin!' Aslan finished, leading the girl back out into the hall of the now bright mansion.

'Why do you put yourself down, Lucy?' Harry asked after she finished her story. 'Aslan is right when he said there are those who think you beautiful as you are right now.'
'But where am I going to find someone who thinks that I am more beautiful than Susan?' She asked, never looking away from the calm water.
Harry pulled her arm gently, turning her to face him and then into a warm embrace. He gently kissed her hair and then whispered in her ear. 'Right here. Me.' Right in that moment, Lucy felt beautiful, under the Narnian moon in the arms of her best friend.
Location: Aboard the Dawn Treader, somewhere south-east of Ramandu's Island, Great Eastern Ocean, Narnia
Time: 2306 NY
Harry and Lucy sat side by side against the wall of the starboard stern cabin Lucy had been assigned when they found their way into Narnia. Harry's arm rested loosely but protectively across Lucy's shoulder, and her head rested against Harry's shoulder.
Harry and Lucy had comforted each other after the defeat of the Dark Island which had brought their worst nightmares to life. After the island had disappeared, the Dawn Treader continued eastward to Ramandu's Island after rescuing Lord Rhoop.
At Ramandu's Island, the crew of the Dawn Treader were introduced to the retired star Ramandu and his half-star daughter Lilliandil. Ramandu and Lilliandil explained to the travellers the plight of the remaining Lords; Argoz, Revilian and Mavramorn, and how it could be remedied, by travelling to World's End and leaving at least one of their number behind. Lucy had watched the male crew members curiously as many of the unmarried ones, including the two Kings, Caspian and Edmund, seemed to be tripping over themselves in the presence of Lilliandil. Lucy also noticed that neither Drinian nor Harry were acting the same, and that Harry came up behind her, looking almost adoringly at her from over her shoulder, Drinian merely looking at them knowingly.
Now, as the Dawn Treader sailed ever closer to World's End and the Last Sea, neither Harry or Lucy had any need to be up on deck and so they found themselves in their usual position, sitting side by side in Lucy's cabin, both of them somewhat melancholy knowing that their time in Narnia would reach its end as the Dawn Treader reached the end of the world. 'We'll be leaving Narnia soon.' Lucy said with a sad sigh.
'Yeah, I really enjoyed it here.' Harry agreed. 'I'll miss it so much, and I'll find it hard to be back in England where it feels...less magical.'
'What I'll find hardest,' Lucy confided, 'is going from Narnia where I am Lucy the Valiant, Aslan's Dear One and one of the greatest Queens in history, back to England where I am Lucy Pevensie, the little unpopular girl with her head in the clouds.'
'You will always be a Queen.' Harry told her. 'In here.' he added, pointing to her heart as she cuddled closer to him. 'And you'll always be my friend, always.'
Location: World's End, The Last Sea, Great Eastern Ocean, Narnia
Time: 2306 NY
After several months of voyaging across the Great Eastern Ocean, the Dawn Treader had finally reached the Lily Lake of the Last Sea. Now, Harry, Lucy, Edmund, Eustace, Caspian and Reepicheep had rowed across the Lily Lake to World's End, the last single strip of land before Aslan's Country. There before them rose a wave of water, flowing upwards and over the crest into Aslan's Country. Eustace was the first to notice when, away to their right, Aslan made his appearance.
Minutes later and the group had said a tearful goodbye to Reepicheep, who eschewed his rapier before ascending the wave into Aslan's Country, and then it was time for Edmund, Eustace, Harry and Lucy to say goodbye.
As Aslan informed them that it was time to go home, Lucy, with a pained look on her face, asked, 'We're not coming back again are we?'
Aslan looked almost lovingly at the girl well known in Narnia as "Aslan's Dear One" and said exactly what she DIDN'T expect him to say, 'I do not know, dear one. I didn't expect you to be needed after this, but with young Harry coming with you...I do not know just what Harry has told you about himself...'
'I already know that he is a Time Lord, we tell each other everything.' Lucy said in reply to the unasked question, pointedly ignoring her immature sibling, adopted sibling and cousin.
'Very well, then,' Aslan continued with a smile, 'with Harry being here, time is in flux...so you may well come back, but nothing is set in stone, and you should know that I have another name in your world, and you should learn to know me by it. Oh, and Harry, my son, do say hello to the Doctor for me.'
'Yes, Aslan.' Harry answered, before the four made their tearful goodbyes, grasping each other's hand as they walked towards the hole that Aslan had created in the wave, and soon the water collapsed around them and they were making their way back to the surface, where they found themselves back in Lucy's room, scarce seconds after they had left.

Lucy cried quietly as she hugged her best friend tightly. 'I'm gonna miss talking to you every day.' She told him sadly.
'There now, Lu! Just think, in just two weeks you'll be back at Saint Finbar's and I'll be back at Hendon House. You'll see me again. Just two weeks. I promise.' Harry said as they stood in front of the TARDIS standing on a street corner on King's Parade.
'We have to go, Harry.' The Doctor said poking his head out the door.
Harry nodded, and hugging Lucy one last time, he waved to her and stepped into the TARDIS, his last sight of Lucy waving, still teary eyed as he shut the door.
Lucy remained standing on the corner for several moments, watching as the TARDIS faded from sight, before she turned and headed back to the house, bracing herself for the teasing from Edmund and a now nice Eustace.
