I walked behind Susan as we came upon the ruin. We all split up as we looked around. There were many stair cases and columns they were all broken of course. At one point I stopped and stood next to Lucy who was munching on an apple and said to her
"Its so pretty here I wish I could stay here forever."
"Me too" she replied
"I wonder who lived here?" I asked curiously
Just them Susan was walking towards us when she stepped on something. She leaned down to pick it up. Once she picked it up it was clear to see that it was a solid gold centaur chess piece.
"I think we did." Susan answered My question
Lucy and I walked over to her. In my head I was thinking wait Cair Paravel?
"Hey that's mine" Edmund said pointing at the chess piece
"From my chess set"
"Which chess set?" Peter asked
"I didn't exactly have a solid gold chess set in Finchley did I?"
"It can't be" Lucy said looking around finally realizing where we were
She ran off with Peter following her. The rest of us followed.
"Don't you see!?!" Lucy said
"What?" Peter replied
"Imagine walls and columns there!" She said as she positioned us
"And a glass roof" she finished
"Cair Paravel" Peter said
"What happened here?" I asked
"Catapults" Edmund said as he bent down to examine a rock
"What?" Peter asked
"This didn't just happen Cair Paravel was attacked." Edmund explained
Peter walked towards what looked like a door made of stone. He and Edmund pushed it sideways to reveal and old wooden door. Peter got the door open by pulling some of the wood off of it and swinging it open. Peter them ripped part of the bottom half of his shirt. We all looked at each other in confusion for a moment and then it clicked. Peter was making a torch. He than picked up a stick from the ground and wrapped the cloth around it.
"Don't suppose you have any matches do you?" Peter asked
"No" said Edmund while digging through his bag "but would this help?"
"You might have mentioned that a bit sooner!" Peter laughed
Lucy, Susan and I all started giggling. Edmund started walking down the passageway. Peter gestured for us girls to go first. We all followed Edmund down the stairs with Peter behind us. Once we reached the bottom of the passageway I saw 4 chests with statues behind each of them. Peter opened a gate leading us through the gate.
"I can't believe it, it's all still here" Peter said
Lucy immediately ran to her chest along with Susan and Edmund behind her. Susan gestured for me to come over.
"I was so tall" Lucy said while holding one of her old dresses up to herself
"Well you were older then" Susan told her smiling
"As opposed to hundreds of years later when you younger." Edmund said from across the room
"Well that's not confusing at all." I said causing Lucy to giggle
From across the room I saw Peter blow on a shield that had Aslan on it.
"What is it?" Lucy asked Susan
"My horn" Susan said sadly "I must have left it on my saddle the day we went back."
"When Aslan bares his teeth winter meets its death" Peter said while examining his sword
"When he shakes his mane we shall have spring again." Lucy finished
"Everyone we knew Mr.Tumnus and the beavers there all gone." Lucy said sadly I went over to her and put my arm comfortingly around her
"I think it's time we found out what's going on." Peter softly said
Lucy shook her head in agreement.
"But first we need to change" Susan said
"Ok boys grab some clothes and get out so us girls can change" I said to Edmund and Peter
Edmund and Peter both groaned "But you girls take forever!"
"We'll be quicker if you get out" Susan said
With no further objections the boys grabbed some clothes and went to go change outside.
"Amber I'll find you a dress that you can wear" Susan told me
"Thanks Su" I said
Susan handed me a simple forest green dress with orange on the inside. The dress had long sleeves and a green belt with a brown wooden buckle on it. Once we were all changed we braided each other's hair along the side of our heads leaving the rest free and flowing. Once we were done we went outside to join the boys who were already dressed.
