"What did you mean when you said you made them invisible for their own good?" Lucy asks him
"It seemed the easiest way to protect them from the evil" he answers
"You mean the mist?" I ask him
"I mean what lies behind the mist" he tells me
I give him a nod as we look around his library, it was truly beautiful inside.
"It's quite beautiful" Eustace says and everyone looks at him
"I mean for a make-believe map of a make-believe world" he quickly defends

"There is a source of your troubles. Dark island. A place where evil lurks. It can take any form. It can make your darkest dreams come true. It seeks to corrupt all goodness... to steal the light from this world" he tells us as he pulls up a map of it all
"How do we stop it?" Lucy asks
"You must break its spell. That sword you carry. There are six others" he tells us pointing at the sword Ed was holding
"Have you seen them?" Edmund asks
"Yes" he replies
"The six lords, they gave passed through here?" Caspian asks
"Indeed" he nods
"Where were they headed?" I ask him
"Where I sent them" he answers as he pulls the map away only to show a different one
"To break the spell... you must follow the Blue Star... to Ramandu's island. There the seven swords must be laid at Aslan's table. Only then car their true magical power be released" he tells us as we all look at the map

"But be aware. You are all about to be tested" he tells us
"Tested how?" I ask him
"Until you lay down the seventh sword, evil has the under hand. It will do everything in its power to tempt you" he tells us
"Be strong" he whispers to Lucy

"Don't fall into temptation. To defeat the darkness out there... you must defeat the darkness inside yourself" he tells us locking eyes with me

We sailed through the ruff waters, waters that were to ruff to be normal. I sat in a room with Caspian, Edmund, Drinian and myself.
"So we're stuck here at half-rations, with food and water for two more weeks, maximum. This is our last chance to turn back, your majesties... there is no guarantee we will spot the Blue Star anytime soon. Not in this storm. Needle in a haystack trying to find this Ramandu place. We could sail right past it and off the edge of the world." Drinian tells us
"Or get eaten by a sea serpent" Edmund adds and both Caspian and I give him a stare
"I am just saying the men are getting nervous. These strange seas were sailing, the likes of which I have never seen before" he tells us
"Then perhaps Captain, you would like to be the one to explain to Mr. Rhince that we're abandoning the search for his family." Caspian say standing up and leaning on the table
"I will get back to it.... Just a word of warning. The sea can play nasty tricks on the crews mind. Very nasty." He tells us before walking out

I laid in my bed, fast asleep.
"Cora!" I hear my mom yell
I gasp awake to see I was back in my old room, before Narnia, before the bombs.
"Cora get down here!" She yells
Confused I run down the stairs into the living room. I see her standing there with a letter in her hand
"What is it?" I ask her she gives me a glare before shoving the letter in my hand.
I hesitantly read it, only to find the news of my father dying in war.
"No" I mumble
"This! This is your fault!" My mom yells
"What?" I mumble
"You did this Cora! You! If you weren't ever born he would be alive! I would be happy! Even your stupid friends would be happier!" She yells at me
"What no. No no no this isn't real" I mumble holding my head in my hands
"Yes it is Cora! And it's all your fault!" She yells then slaps me across the face

I gasp awake in my bed. Seeing green mist slowly fall away. It wasn't real, it was all in my head.
I walk into the room where Edmund and Caspian were. Only to see Lucy already there. And Caspian gasps awake.
"What are you both doing?" Edmund asks
"I can't sleep" Lucy says
"Let me guess. Bad dreams" he says
"You would be correct" I mumble walking over to Caspian who gives me a hug
"So either we're all going mad or something is playing with our minds" Edmund says leaning back in his hammock

"What did you see? You seem very shaken up" Caspian asks me as we sit alone together
"Uh I saw my mother, relived a moment I didn't ever want to see again" I tell him
"Do you want to talk about it?" He asks me
"She called me into the living room, gave me a letter. I read it only to find out my father died in the war. She then started yelling at me. Things like it was my fault or she and my friends would be happier if I wasn't ever born. And that my father would be alive if I wasn't born" I tell him trying not to cry
Then pulls me into a tight hug
"Oh Cora, I'm so sorry. Please don't believe her, I'm glad you're alive. If you weren't ever born, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet you, to fall in love with you, to get to call you my wife" he tells me as I hold him tighter
"I love you Caspian" I tell him
"I love you too Cora" he says giving me a kiss on my head
