The First Warrior (Peter Pevensie Love Story) [Narnia]

Chapter 4: What Happened In Between.

What Happened In Between.

He walked one way. Then he walked the other. Then he walked back again.

"Edmund, you're going to where a hole in the floor," a small female voice said.

Edmund stopped his pacing, and looked over at his younger sister. The three siblings sat in the throne room of Cair Paravel. Glass windows were on every side to let in the bright sunlight, and marble stone reflected the floor.

"Sorry," he mumbled.

Lucy laughed.

"They'll come when they come. And the messenger said they would come today. So stop worrying," said Edmund's elder sister, Susan.

"It's been nearly two months since he left," Edmund said. "I think that I have a good reason to want him home faster."

"Peter is alright Edmund. You need to stop worrying and be patient."

Five minutes later, it was Susan pacing.

"I thought you said not to worry," laughed Edmund.

Peter smelled the fresh air. It felt so good to be home. But he felt good about the events that had happened. They had stopped the northern barbarians from coming, and had made an alliance with Archenland.

"Two birds with one stone," he thought.

Though Archenland had been wonderful, and the king and queen had been generous, Peter had decided it was time to head home. They had invited them to stay longer, but Peter knew that neither he nor the other Narnians wanted to.

Peter looked to his left at a large centaur, the general Orieus. His steps had suddenly become lighter and freer. He then looked to his right. Miranda looked like she was about to pass out on her horse Onyx, but the light in her eyes shone bright. They could all feel it. The Narnian air that made them strong was quickly working on them.

"Want to race home?" He asked the companions beside him. He never got an answer. The next second, the two were running for Cair Paravel.

"No fair!"

Miranda and Orieus only laughed.

Edmund suddenly heard pounding hooves. He raced from the throne room to an outer balcony overlooking the courtyard. Looking to the gates, he saw a centaur, and two human figures enter.

"Susan! Lucy!" Edmund shouted, as he raced down the stairs. He could feel his sisters behind him as they ran into the courtyard. A golden haired young man came down from his horse, and was attacked by his three siblings.

"By golly, give me room to catch my breath!" Peter exclaimed, but his voice was full of laughter. Miranda smiled, and took the reins of his white horse. She would let him spend some time with his family.

Leading Onyx and Peter's horse to the stables, Miranda sighed. It felt good to be home.

Miranda had planned on sleeping in the next morning, but the morning would not let her. As soon as the sun came up, it shone through her window and woke her up. She opened her eyes, and looked around the room. Silk curtains hung inside a balcony facing the sea, and the room was the color of creamy stones.
