'Come on Rebecca! We're going to see my castle!' she said, taking her hand.

'Oh really?' Rebecca asked Sarah Beth. 'Well, I would love to hear more about this castle,' she added, turning to Edmund and Susan for a bit of an explanation.
 
OOC; Wait! They were not at Cair Paravel? Where were they?
"So where are we right now?" Edmund asked Caspian.

Ooc: NOnono!! They are in Caspian's throne room right now... Cair Paravel is in ruins and quite some distance from there... remember how much they had to travel in both the book and movie? No, they are in the Telmarine castle...

"This," Peter pointed to Clarissa, "is my fiance Clarissa. This is Edmund's girlfriend Rebecca, Susan's husband William, their daughter Sarah, and Lucy's friend Nick."

Caspian nodded at each person in turn. He blinked in surprise slightly when he heard that Susan had a husband, but covered the reaction quickly. "Welcome, all of you, to Narnia," he said regally.

Susan felt her face beginning to turn a different shade of pink. She curtsied to the King.

Will on the other hand, looked over at Susan and saw the change of her face. He looked at Caspian squinting in confusion and then looked back at his wife.

"Well I think I can speak on behalf of all of us, that we are happy help with this uprising, Caspian." She said trying to avoid his eyes.

Caspian glanced over at Susan and noticed the pink in her face. He felt hope rise slightly in his stomach as he realized that she was remembering their past as well. That mutual liking that may have developed into something if the Pevensies had been allowed to remain.

Edmund felt Rebecca's hands still holding to his arm. He talked to Caspian this time and said to him, "Well, if Aslan needs us, we are ready to serve Him. Hopefully our old armor and weapons are still around I suppose?"

Edmund's voice brought him out of his thoughts. "Yes, it is all hanging in the armory, where it is polished often," he said, smiling at the group.

"Hold on, hold on, armor? weapons? What type of land is this?" Clarissa asked the four Pevensies. "And who is this?" she whispered to Peter, looking at Caspian with a raised eyebrows. Already she had met one talking creature, and now it seemed that they had been transported back to medieval times. She wasn't absolutely opposed to this, she had loved studying that era- but still...
 
OOC: Thanks for clarifying that. I thought I head something about them NOT being in some castle.
 
Ooc: Everyone, you need to post otherwise this thread is going to die... and we cannot continue doing the ooc without any character posts! So, please past as your character...
Aslans Messenger: Everyone has been transported into Narnia, we are all in Caspian's throne room, where Caspian has begun to tell then what is happening in Narnia. The Pevensies are currently happy to be back, while the others are quite confused...

Come on everyone! Post!!
 
Peter smiled, only a bit.
"This is our good friend Caspian, he is the ruler of Narnia now. You see when we, Susan, Ed and Lu and I, ruled that was ages and ages ago. Now Caspian is king of Narnia."
 
Clarissa shook her head. "I still can't believe you didn't tell me... what did you think I was going to do?" she asked him quietly. "Peter, I don't even know if I know you anymore," she told him, looking him dead in they eyes.
 
"Please Clarissa," his tone a little harsher than he had intended, "you would have called me crazy! Your parents would hate me even more! Besides," he looked at Caspian then at Lucy, "I didn't think I'd ever come back. And I'm the same ol' Peter. King or not. You know who I am." He said this with a very intent look.
 
"What if I hadn't called you crazy?" she asked him, offended by the harshness of his tone. "I know who you were Peter, but as soon as we came here, yo u changed, whether you felt it or not," she told him. She was still trying to decide whether it was for the better or worse, but there was now a passion in his eyes that she had only seen rarely back in England.
 
Edmund turned to Rebecca: "I am sorry dear, but have we forgotten that Cair Paravel might still be in ruins or under reconstruction?
Turns to Caspian.
"What's the story of Cair, Caspian?"
 
Rose had been quit the whole time still trying to get into her head that she was in a totally different world. She looked at Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy wondering why they were all so happy looking. "Were in a different world and there smiling like they were on vacation or something." she said to herself.
 
Rebecca still stood there, politely nodding. The truth was, she was confused and hurt. Confused about where exactly they were, and hurt that Edmund couldn't even tell her something as big as this. She saw Clarissa and Peter were having the same problem. She sighed. She'd just go along with it and ask him about it later.
 
"What if I hadn't called you crazy?" she asked him, offended by the harshness of his tone. "I know who you were Peter, but as soon as we came here, yo u changed, whether you felt it or not," she told him. She was still trying to decide whether it was for the better or worse, but there was now a passion in his eyes that she had only seen rarely back in England.

"What if you hadn't called me crazy?" Peter said in disbelief, "then your mother would put us both in an asylum. And yeah when I am here I do change. But not as anyone different, just who I used to be. A boy. Nothing more, nothing less. I don't have to worry about money, stress, I can just be a boy again."
 
Clarissa turned away from Peter's silence, and hope that when she was ready to talk to him again, her temper would be back under control- or her mind would have finally wrapped around the idea of this new world and her fiance's royalty. She looked over at Rose, and noticed her bewilderment. "You okay?" she asked her friend, putting a hand on her shoulder. "I know this is a lot of take in... all of us feel the same way," she said, glancing over at Rebecca and shooting her a tired a expression. Clarissa looked back at PEter as he began. "Who says we would have told my mother? She didn't have to know... she wasn't the one that was going to be marrying you!" she said, crossing her arms. "And you being a boy? Does that involve us Peter?" she asked him.

Caspian looked toward Edmund. "Well, Cair Paravel is too damaged in order to do any repairs," he told them, and knew how sad the news would be for them. "However, we have gone in to salvage any artifacts that we could, and have come back with plenty. I can show you later where we are restoring many of the items and you can claim what you wish," he offered with a smile. "Also, we have talked with the dryads residing there and they have vowed to keep guard over it in case any vandals attempt anything," he said with a nod.

Poor Clarissa, Rebecca thought. She was already getting stressed with the wedding plans, and this just added another shock to her life. She felt her exasperation clearly. She went over and patted her. 'I'm sure they'll explain soon,' she told her.
 
"Well feeling like a boy," Peter clairfied, "and yes that does involve us! Geese Claire. What is making you so...so like this. It isn't like I could of told anyone! If I knew you'd understand than I would have. But seeing that you don't, its obvious that I couldn't!"
 
"All I'm trying to understand is why you kept such a big part of your life from me... tell me this now: If we had never come here, would you have told me about this?" she asked him, looking him dead in the eye.
 
Edmund was listening to every thing that was being said. He also felt Rebecca's questioning eyes. He wanted to come back to Narnia so bad, but not like this. To complicate matters more, even Nick was here, and he looked confused too.
Edmund also noticed that Nick was close to Lucy, his eyes full of questions, but his mouth had said nothing.

Edmund wanted to prevent a series of arguments and questions from Rebecca so he turned to her and said:

"Dear, I promise you that you will get all answers in time. You will know the whole story and when you hear it, you will realize why I could not tell you anything. Do you promise me to wait for the answers as they come? Our dear friend Caspian here will begin telling you all some of the tale soon."
 
"All I'm trying to understand is why you kept such a big part of your life from me... tell me this now: If we had never come here, would you have told me about this?" she asked him, looking him dead in the eye.

"No," he said honestly, "no this was something me and my brother and sisters would have taken to the grave. I kept this from you because it was ours to keep. Call it a family secret, a sibling pact, but it was our secret. If I had told you then the others would be involved too. And knowing your mother too well (and knowing my stupid luck) I know she would find out. Think of how that would go then, especially for Lucy."

Lucy looked at the both of them.

"Just stop arguing," she said to the both of them, "Clarissa I'm sure Peter wanted to tell you but the truth is we couldn't tell anyone," she said now to everyone, "except those who had already been there. Like Professor Kirke and Lady Polly. They understood, plus they are the ones who (from experiance) know that you could lose a loved one if you told them of Narnia. Lady Polly lost her husband! Knowing this Clarissa," she focused back on her and Peter, "Peter didn't want to lose you."
