Chapter 1

The Dawn Treader ported safely at the port beside the castle. Several of the servants patiently waited for their King to land on the ground. The magnificent ship then set down its anchor, and those on board finally came off the ship. The King, the very last to do so. At the bottom, Caspian's dear Professor waited for the King to set foot on land.

"Welcome back Your Majesty" said the old man.

"Thank you, Professor. Oh, what a story I have for you!" Caspian told the Professor as both headed towards the castle.

"Your Highness, I am absolutely sure that—"

"Professor, Edmund and Lucy came back!" Caspian cut off the Professor in his excitement to retell the story to his Professor.

"Your High—"

"And they brought their cousin! He was a unique child, but full of potential for the future. He may come back… Though I do not know when…"

The Professor had a concerned countenance which the King did not notice as he continued to tell his tale…

After a day of festivities, the King returned to his workroom to handle domestic affairs that had piled up during his absence. He had to handle some problems regarding the issues of trade routes, economy, and other matters. As he was reading through reports, the Professor knocked at the door.

"Enter."

The old man silently came in with a letter in his hands.

Caspian looked up from his seat, smiling, then instantly frowned with concern when he saw that his professor had a serious look on his face.

"Professor? Is there something wrong?"

The Professor measured his words before he spoke.

"Your Majesty, a letter was sent from Princess Lillian regarding certain seriously urgent matters. She has stated that she is on her way to the palace. She will arrive in approximately two days, Sire."
