Edmund
Caspian and I were woken by the bright Sun that shone on the island. I decided to wake up my siblings so we could explore the island. I had just finished waking up Su when I realized something was very wrong. The bump under Lucy's blankets was smaller than Lucy should be, and it wasn't breathing.
I uncovered it and found it full of leaves.
"Peter! Susan! Caspian! Wake up everybody! Lucy's missing!" I yelled, extremely worried for the safety of my sister.
"I will take five of you, plus the usual party, the rest of you will stay here in case something bad happens to us." Caspian said, immediately taking control of the situation. Peter picked five crew members randomly and led them, Selene, Susan, Devon, Eustace, Pirate Boy, Caspian, and me into the woods. We followed the large footprints left by Lucy's aggressors. Soon enough, we found a small clearing, which led to a meadow.
"Look, its Lucy's knife!" I exclaimed, picking it up.
"Who's there?" Asked a voice, it was quickly followed by admiring whispers. The owners of the voices seemed to be invisible.
"Where is my sister?!" Susan demanded, pointing her bow at the general direction of the voices. Suddenly, she was thrown sideways by some invisible force. Caspian ran to her and held out his sword protectively when it, too, was thrown out of his reach. All our weapons soon followed.
"What are you?" I asked.
"We're terrible monsters!" The voice responded
"With the fangs of a snake!" Another voice said.
"Yeah, and we're huge!" Exclaimed another. Suddenly, a shimmering appeared from the voices and the funniest of creatures appeared. There were about ten dwarfs, only they weren't dwarfs. They had one big foot coming from underneath them instead of two and mushrooms on their heads. They were also quite large in the tummy.
"And what are you going to do, run us over with your big bellies?" Caspian said as he laughed at them.
"Your sister has done it!" The one that seemed to be in charge said.
"We're visible again!" Another stated. They started to dance and jump happily out of the clearing.
"Wait, what did Lucy do?" Peter asked.
"She went into the Oppressor's mansion and used the spell to make the unseen seen!" The only one left said.
"What mansion?" I asked, for here there was only a big meadow and a wood. Then some shimmering appeared all over the meadow and a mansion appeared on it. "Oh, that mansion!" I said. Suddenly the door opened, and Lu appeared, accompanied by a man and a girl.
"Lucy!" Su said as she ran to hug her.
"Hello everyone, this is Coriakin, the lord of this island and his daughter, Gema."
"Please, come in." Gema said.
"Oh, and, I'm sorry, but you five can't come into my home, we are going to have a very private conversation." Everyone went back to the ship without much complaint because they knew of the magician's power.
We went into the mansion, which was far too gloomy for my taste. Soon, we were at a library. Susan gasped in admiration, I'd do it myself if I wasn't preoccupied looking at a book that was in the middle of the room.
"That is the Book of Spells, the book Lucy read from to turn the monsters and my mansion visible. But we're not going to be looking at that. Please follow me." He said as he walked over to an empty space in the room. He took what appeared to be a large scroll and put it on the floor. The scroll began to magically unravel itself until it was a three dimensional map of this world. I could see Narnia, Archenland, Calormen, and each one of the Lone Islands plus the mysterious islands we had encountered. It was a very beautiful map with a centaur painted at the bottom, blowing a war horn.
"It's beautiful." Eustace said, much to my surprise. "I mean for a make-believe map of a make-believe world!" He added quickly, trying to seem disgusted.
"You must find the seven lost swords of Telemar. Then, you must lay them at the Stone Table in Ramandu's Island." Coriakin said.
"To get to Ramandu's island, you must follow his daughter, the Blue Star." Added Gema.
"You must also be warned. The last sword is in the Island of Darkness. It will become your worst nightmare." Then, he looked at each one of us in turn.
"Do not doubt." He said to Peter.
"Do not fear what is to come." Gema said to Susan.
"Do not underestimate yourself." He said to Caspian.
"Do not be vain." She said to Lucy.
"Do not let your past define your future." He said to Devon.
"Do not let your fears sneak up on you." She said to Selene.
"Do not think your family is the people you came from." He said to Pirate Boy.
"And do not be tempted." Gema said to me. How did she know? Ever since I was nine, counting the time we spent in Narnia, my greatest fear has been the White Witch's return. I was afraid I would be tempted by her once again. I also feared what would have happened, had I come to Narnia alone for the first time.
I saw everyone was having different reactions to their words. Peter looked like he was trying to be strong, Susan looked angry, but there were tears in her eyes, Caspian looked sort of satisfied, Lucy looked terrified, Devon was actually crying, but her crying looked more real than it usually was, Selene looked like someone had slapped her, and Pirate Boy was trying hard not to cry. I wondered why their words affected each so. For all I know, Pete had never doubted himself, he always seemed so confident. I understood Su, she was afraid Aslan would take her away and she was angry at everyone for telling her it will be alright when we all know it won't. I knew Caspian underestimated himself, but I thought he wouldn't doubt himself so much after being a wonderful king. I have absolutely no idea what Lu's comment meant. Lucy was one of the most selfless people I knew, she never cared for beauty of material things. I also didn't know what they meant with Selene, maybe she was so brave and strong she didn't know her own fears and then, they would sneak up on her? I knew about Pirate Boy, it was the same conflict that Caspian had had a few years back, he needed to realize that the pirates are not his family, his true friends are. I thought Devon's had something to do with being a Veela or an Amazon, although, now that I think about it, we've been to both islands. I understand that she didn't want to go to the Amazons for fear they might punish her for running away, but her mother is a Veela, surely she'd want to see her. But now I realized; how much do we really know about Devon? Her crying seemed real; it was a soft whimpering instead of a dramatic flow of tears.
Anyway, when we left the Magician's Island, we were all very stunned. Most of us went into our quarters, just to think.
That night I dreamt that the White Witch had come back, and she wanted my family and she'd give me Turkish Delight in return. When I refused, she killed me and my family.
