The seven friends walked out of the cave and to the beach. The beach was quiet, but yet very beautiful, with nobody bothering them, not even one person. The sound of the waves was not so strong but quite still and peaceful, and the breeze of the sea and and its smell overcame the children and the atmosphere. The weather was clear, the sun shone brightly above the blue sky. The scene was absolutely beautiful and serene. Jane and Daniel had no idea where exactly they were at, and both of them were full of curiosity. Lucy turned to face Susan and smiled. Susan smiled back and they both started running to the shore, followed by Jane and Dawn.

"Where exactly are we?" Daniel asked Peter and Edmund.

"You'll soon know!" Edmund perked up and started running to the shore with Peter. "Come on, Dan!" Daniel rushed after his friends and sisters and followed them to the shore. They jumped into the water and started splashing water at each other and played for what it felt like a long time. Then, Edmund had stopped playing in the water and looked up to the cliff, which looked like it was full of ruins.

"Ed!" Susan called out to her brother. "Ed!" Edmund was out of his world. "Where do you suppose we are?" He asked. Peter also stopped what he was doing. "Well, where do you think?" He asked his brother back. Edmund hesitated. "Well, I don't remember any ruins in Narnia." He answered. The others stopped playing and looked up to see the ruins atop a cliff which overlooked the sea.

Daniel tilted his head. He never knew such thing as a country or a place called Narnia. Jane looked at the view and smiled, as she knew what place is because Dawn had mentioned it to her before. And she realized that one of her wishes which was to visit Narnia had finally came true. The seven children got out of the water back to the shore and climbed up to the cliff. They explored the ruins of the site. Lucy found an apple from the apple tree and ate it. Peter and Dawn walked up some steps and they wondered around the ruins hand in hand.

Lucy looked over the sea in the distance. "I wonder who lived here." She said, turning to Susan and Jane. Susan noticed a gold figurine on the ground and picked it up. "I think we did." She said.

The other five friends came up to them and saw the figurine which turned out to be one of the chess knights. "Hey, that's mine." Edmund gasped. "From my chess set." Peter looked confused. "Which chess set?" He asked.

"Well, I didn't exactly have a solid gold chess set in Finchley, did I?" He asked. The others shook their heads no. Suddenly, Lucy realized something. "Can't be..." She took Peter's hand and ran to where a huge round centre of he ruins was, followed by her siblings and the Jameson children. "Can't you see?" Lucy said excitedly.

"What?" Peter asked.

"What is it, Lu?" Daniel added. Lucy pointed at the ruins of the area. "Imagine walls." She directed them. "And columns there...and a glass roof." Now the five friends now realized where exactly in Narnia they were. It was where they had their coronation!

"Cair Paravel..." Peter concluded, now recognizing the castle. Dawn nodded and took a little deep breath as she and the Pevensie siblings looked around what was once their Narnia home.

The children roamed around the other parts of the castle with some damages to them, much to Jane and Daniel's confusion. Edmund knelt in front of the big rock with a mark on it, followed by the others. "What's wrong?" Dawn asked. "What is it, Ed?" Daniel added.

Edmund ran his fingers around the rock. "Catapults." He answered, looking around the ruins.

"What?" Peter said.

Edmund turned to his brother, his sisters and friends. "This didn't just happen." He said. "Cair Paravel was attacked." The children stood there somewhat motionless.

Edmund looked around with curiosity before making his way to the vine-covered wall. Peter and the others followed him. He and his brother moved the big stick of vines and the large stone wall aside to reveal a large wooden door. Peter broke parts of the door to make a large hole and opened it up. Dawn smiled as she recognized that it was their entrance to their treasure chamber.

Peter then tore the bottom of his shirt and wrapped the cloth around the stick. "I don't suppose you have any matches, do you?" He asked Edmund.

Edmund opened his cross bag and pulled out his new torch. "No, but would this help?" He asked.

Peter's mouth fell open. "You might've mentioned that a bit sooner!" He laughed.

Edmund smirked as he flipped his torch on, leading the others through the doorway. The girls, Peter and Daniel followed behind. Halfway down the stairs, Lucy, Dawn, Jane and Daniel stopped to look down at the chamber. There were six treasure chests with statues of kings and queens behind them. Lucy gasped and ran to her trunk and opened it. "It's our stuff." She announced.

Peter nodded. "I can't believe it." He said in wonder and awe. "It's all still here." The children except Jane and Daniel went through their individual trunks and looked at their statues. Jane and Daniel watched as they opened up their treasure chests. Dawn approached her trunk and blew off the dust off the lid before she opened it. She was then met with bright fabrics made of silks and velvets. Some of them had gold and silver trimmings.

A shadow of a girl with long black hair and a dagger drawn out apeared on the wall. It was Esther. "Who goes there?" She asked. The children heard a girl's familiar voice and saw the shadow of her. "It's us, Edmund." Edmund answered as he perked up. "We're back."

The girl narrowed her eyes. "Who's us?" She asked.

"My siblings and Dawn, Esther." He replied. "Dawn also brought her sister and brother over."

Esther went up to Edmund and placed the dagger at his throat. Everyone gasped at Esther's behaviour towards him. "What is something only King Edmund would know..." She snarled. The other friends looked at them and each other, much to their confusion.

Esther just raised a brow. Edmund sighed. "Um, Your father is a talking lion named Aslan and your mother is an evil White Witch named Jadis who tricked me." He stammered. Esther placed the dagger down. "Oh, so it is really you..." She didn't sound too happy.

Dawn gestured her siblings to Esther. "Esther. This is Jane, my older sister and this is my younger brother, Daniel." She introduced them. "Jane and Daniel, this is Esther, one of the Queens of this land Narnia. Queen Esther the Fierce." Esther curtsied. "Hello." She was very curious in Daniel.

Jane curtsied and Daniel bowed back. "Your majesty." The brother and sister greeted the Queen. Esther smiled at Jane and Daniel. "Just call me Esther." She chuckled. She then turned back to Dawn and the Pevensies with a furious glare. "Where? Have? You? BEEN?!" She pointed a finger in Edmunds chest. "W-we went b-back to our world." Edmund stammered, wondering why Esther was so angry at them.

"And left me?!" She shouted. "All five of you?!" Esther was very upset. Jane and Daniel looked very confused, but also shocked. They wondered why Esther didn't gave their sister and her friends a warm welcome except to them. And why she was being very angry towards the five children.

"We're sorry!" Dawn pleaded. "We didn't mean to!"

"The five of us rode out hunting for the white stag which Mr. Tumnus has mentioned!" Edmund explained.

"Until we reached the lamppost...and that's what happened." Lucy finished. "We didn't mean for any of this to happen!" Peter also joined in to talk to the Queen. "Narnia got what they needed from us back then." Peter tried to talk Esther out. "So Aslan may have just sent us back to where we belong until whenever your people need from us."

Esther glared at them. "I have seen death......from all of our friends 1,300 years ago." She said in a serious and also dark voice. "Yet I am still young...." The seven children stared at each other confused, not knowing what the Queen was talking about. "Esther what are you talking about?" Daniel asked. "And what's Narnia?"

Esther grew frustrated. "Oh, just leave it alone!" She hollered. The two siblings sighed and walked to Dawn and the Pevensie siblings. When Esther wasn't looking, Jane shook her head at her for daring to be so 'mean' to one of the newcomers.

"What's her damage?" She asked them in a whisper. Esther turned her head. "You know I can hear you, right?" She called out. "I'd rather not say..." Jane just made a little huffy breath and turned away from Esther.

"I don't think it's the right time to ask, Jane." Susan told her.

"Let's just unpack some of our things from the trunk." Peter sighed. The seven friends stopped the conversation with Esther and started unpacking their belongings from their treasure chests.

"I was so tall." Lucy said as she held up a dress to her body. The dress dragged a few inches on the floor.

Susan grinned at her sister. "Well, you were older then." She said.

"Yes." Edmund added, drawing his attention to the others with an oversized helmet he was wearing. "As opposed to hundreds of years later, when we were younger."

Daniel laughed. "You look pretty hilarious, Ed." He joked. The other friends laughed together, only not Esther. She frowned at the five friends. Edmund bit his lip. He turned away and removed his helmet. Susan made a huffy sigh as she unpacked her bow and quiver of arrows.

"What's wrong?" Dawn asked.

Susan frowned and looked up to her friends and siblings. "My horn." She replied. "I must've left it on my saddle the day we went back."

"Are you sure?" Lucy asked.

"I don't know." Susan replied. "I can't remember if I actually brought it with me back then."

"Hmm, that's strange." Dawn mumbled. She turned to her Pevensie friends. "Have you guys seen Susan's horn that time?" She asked. They looked at each other and hesitated.

Esther scoffed. "Didn't see it, don't care."

Edmund sighed. "Est, please." Esther scoffed at him.

The children gave her a disgusted look. Peter then found his sword in his treasure and drew it. He looked at it solemnly. "When Aslan bears his teeth, winter meets its death." He softly read the blade of his sword.

"When he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again." Lucy finished the rhyme sadly. Tears could be seen in her eyes. "Everyone we knew...Mr. Tumnus and the Beavers...they're all gone."

Dawn slumped her shoulders in sadness, death of her Narnian friends weighed upon her. She fiddled with her cross necklace. "Esther's right." Her voice almost almost cracked. "Everyone we befriended really did die...but how?"

"Why should I tell you?" Esther said.

"Because you're also our friend." Dawn replied. Esther rolled her eyes. "Friends don't leave friends..." she whispered.

Dawn sighed and turned back to face her treasure chest. She found her sword, dagger and her magic headphones. "It's been a while since I haven't sang.." She said, smoothing her weapons. "Ever since my father changed..." The Pevensie children turned to her confused. Jane and Daniel looked away, hiding their personal struggle.

"Uh..nevermind." Dawn finished.

Peter sheathed his sword. "I think it's time we find out what's going on." He said. They agreed. The children decided to change into their Narnian clothes.

"Hey, uh..what about us?" Jane stopped. "We don't have any weapons or any outfits 'Narnian.'"

Esther made them some Narnian clothes with magic. She made a teal coloured dress with grey underdress and taupe leather flat shoes for Jane, and a long sleeved grey velvet tunic with black pants and brown leather boots for Daniel. Also the Queen gave Jane a beautiful brown bow with beige quiver of arrows engraved in lotus flowers with golden feathers, and Daniel a sword with golden handle attached to a belt. She gave Daniel a wink. He giggled at Esther's gesture and Edmund saw it. He groaned and looked away.

The three boys grabbed their clothes and went to one of the two rooms nearby, while the four girls went to another room to get dressed. Esther stayed at the treasure chamber to wait for them. Dawn twirled few strands of her hair into twists while Susan and Jane helped Lucy with her hair by braiding few strands into rope braid. Then Jane braided half of her hair both sides into a French braid and wrapped them to the back. And Susan pulled a few strands of hers similar to Dawn's. The four girls smiled and gave each other nods and headed out of the room where the boys and Esther were waiting at the treasure chamber.

Edmund and Daniel dramatically posed at their sisters. "Finally!" Daniel said. "What took you girls so long?"

"Yeah." Esther said impatiently, tapping her foot. "We were supposed to be heading out a few minutes ago!" The girls held their heads down. "I'm sorry, Est." Jane apologized to the Queen.

Esther sighed. "Lets just go." She said and the other seven friends agreed.
