Once we had gotten to the top of the mountain we walked around the ruins. But something looked oddly familiar about this place.
"Wonder who lived here" Lucy says
I started to walk over towards her but stop when I felt myself step on something.
"I think we did" I answer her picking up a golden chess piece
"Hey isn't this yours?" I ask Edmund as they all walk over to see what I was holding
"Yeah. From my chess set" Edmund says as I give it to him
"Which chess set?" Peter asks him
"I didn't exactly have a solid gold chess set in Finchley did I?" Edmund laughs
Then I watch as Lucy looks around again
"Can't be" she mumbles
Then she grabs onto Peter's hand and lead us all up the few steps
"Don't you see?" She asks us
And that's when I finally saw it
"Oh my gosh" I mumble
"What?" Peter asks us both
Lucy moves Peter into his position as I go over to Susan
"Imagine walls" Lucy says as she then moves Edmund and goes into her spot as I go into mine
"And columns there" I add on pointing
"And a glass roof" Lucy adds
"Cair Paravel" we all say at the same time
We all keep walking around trying to find out how and why this had happened. Edmund and I both stop in our tracks as we kneel down looking at a rock. I glance at Edmund and he seemed to be thinking the same thing as me
"Catapults" Edmund tells them
"What?" Peter asks confused
"This didn't just happen, Cair Paravel was attacked" I tell them
Peter quickly walked away to a stone wall, he moved the vines out of the way and with Edmund's help they moved the stone door to the side. Then Peter cracks the wooden door open and puts it to the side, without sparing us a glance he rips part of his shirt and wraps it around a branch.
"Don't suppose you have any matches do you?" He asks Edmund
He looked down in his bag, moving things around
"No. But... would this help?" He asks bringing out a flashlight
"You might have mentioned that a bit sooner" Peter laughs
Peter holds the flashlight in front as the rest of us follow him down the stairs. But I quickly recognized where we were.
"I can't believe it's still here" Susan says
I stare with a wide smile on my face at the five golden trunks, with our own statue behind each one. We all quickly rushed over to them.
I blew the dust off of mine before opening it up.
"I was so tall" Lucy says holding up a dress
"Well you were older then" Susan laughs grabbing her bow and arrow, and her horn.
"As opposed to hundreds of years later.... When you're younger" Edmund speaks up with a big helmet on his head
I look down in my trunk to see my sword. I smile remembering all the times I beat Peter and Edmund in a fight.
"Éla" I speak as it slowly lifts up into my hand, glowing white
Then I look in my trunk for my horn, but it wasn't there. I move a few dresses out of the way, frowning as I couldn't find it.
"What is it?" Lucy asks seeing my face
"My horn. I must've left it on my saddle the day we went back" I answer her
Then our attention was turned when Peter speaks up
"When Aslan bares his teeth, winter meets its death" he says
"When he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again" I add on
Then Lucy gasps
"Everyone we knew, Mr. Thomas and the beavers. They're all gone." Lucy tells us
"I think it's time we found out what's going on" I tell them
We all quickly changed into new clothes, I put my swords strap around me and placed my sword in. Then we started walking to who knows where honestly.
As we walked up a small hill we see two soldiers in a boat holding a dwarf.
Susan quickly aims her arrow at them.
"Drop him!" She yells, and unfortunately those weren't the right words to use, the two soldiers drop the dwarf into the water.
They then got their weapons ready but Susan quickly fires, hitting them both.
Edmund quickly jumps into the water, swimming to help the dwarf as we all run to the shore. Peter helps get him up once Edmund gets him far enough into the shore.
Lucy then uses her knife to cut the rope on his hands, he quickly moves the rag of him mouth coughing up water.
"'Drop him'! That's the best you can come up with?" He asks Susan
"A simple 'thank you' would suffice" she says back with the same tone
"They were doing just fine drowning me without your help" he tells her
"Maybe we should have let them" Peter says
"Why were they trying to kill you anyway?" Lucy asks
"They're Telmarines. Thats what they do" he answers
"Telmarines? In Narnia?" Edmund asks
"Where have you been for the last few hundred years?" He scoffs
"Trust me, you don't want to know" I tell him crossing my arms as he looks at the five of us
"Oh you got to be kidding me. You're it? You're the Kings and Queens of old?" He asks us once he realizes
"King Peter, the Magnificent" Peter says holding out his hand
"You probably could've left off the last bit" I tell him
"Probably" the dwarf laughs
"You might be surprised" Peter tells him
"Oh you don't want to do that boy" he says
"Not me, him" Peter says nodding towards Edmund who then gives a smirk.
Peter gives the dwarf a sword which falls to the ground being too heavy for him. Then he swings at Edmund, quickly he ducks in time but then he punches him in the face making him fall backyards.
"Edmund!" Lucy yells
"You all right?" He says taunting him
Edmund then stands to his feet, they both start to fight again until Edmund knocks away his sword.
The dwarf then falls back in shock.
Breads and bedsteads! Maybe that horn worked after all" he tells us
"Wait, what horn?" I ask as my lost belonging was brought up
