~*~*~*~

The waters calmed and the sun came shining down the next day, as if the storm was never here.
We sail out into the island on the small boats.
"I doubt the lords stopped here my liege. There's no sign of anything living" reep says
"Right, well once we get ashore take your men and search for food and water. The four of us will look for clues." Caspian answers
"Hang on you mean the five of us" Eustace says before we all turn to look at him
"Come on please don't send me back to the rat" he begs
"I heard that" reep says
"Big ears" he mumbles
"I heard that too" reep tells him
"You'll learn to love him Eustace, he's not to bad once you really get to know him. You'll be just of friends sooner or later" I tell Eustace but he just looks away rolling his eyes as I let out a laugh

"Go on. Unload it all" Caspian tells them as we hit the boats on shore. Before the four of us started walking off.

"Look we're not the first ones on this island" Caspian says
"The lords?" Edmund asks
"Could be" I answer looking at the rope
Caspian then throws a rock down
"What do you think could be down there" Caspian asks
"Let's find out" Edmund answers before sliding down the rope, Caspian after, then Lucy, then I made my way down.

We all walk over to Edmund who was standing at some water.
"What's that?" Captain asks
"I don't know. Looks like some sort of gold statue" he reply's then grabs a branch
Once the branch touches the water it starts to turn into pure gold.
"Ah!" Edmund exclaims dropping it into the water when it got too heavy. We all send glances at each other before kneeling down closer
"He must have fallen in" I say
"Poor man" Lucy speaks up
"You mean poor lord" Edmund corrects
"The crest of lord Restimar" Caspian says
"And his sword" Edmund says pointing
"We need it" Caspian mumbles and Edmund pulls out his sword

"Be careful" Lucy warns
Edmund slowly pulls it out careful not to fall in himself
"The sword hasn't turned to gold" Lucy points out
"Both the sword are magical" I tell her
Caspian grabs the sword off of Edmund's, also pulling him back some so he didn't fall
"He mustn't have known what hit him" Lucy says
"Maybe. Or maybe he was on to something." Edmund says going closer to the water
"What are you talking about?" Caspian asks
Edmund then grabs a shell dipping it in the water and quickly putting it on the ground.
He picks it up before staring at it, not sparing a glance anywhere else.

"What are you staring at?" Lucy asks
"Whoever has access to this pool could be the most powerful person in the world. Lucy, we'd be so rich. No one could tell us what do to or who to live with." Edmund tells her
"You can't take anything out of Narnia Edmund." I tell him
"Says who?" He asks
"I do." Caspian says
Edmund looks over at him before standing up grabbing his sword.
"I am not your subject" he tells him
"You have been waiting for this, haven't you? To challenge me? You doubt my leadership?" Caspian asks
"You doubt yourself" Edmund says getting in his face
"You're a child" Caspian says
"And you're a spineless sap" Edmund snaps back
"Edmund" Lucy says grabbing his shoulder but he shrugs her off
"I'm tired of playing second fiddle. First it was Peter, now it's you. You know I'm braver than both of you. Why do you get Peter's sword? I deserve a kingdom of my own. I deserve to rule." Edmund says
"If you think you're so brave, prove it" Caspian tells him shoving his arm
Edmund lets out a yell as they both start to fight.

Lucy and I quickly jump in between
"No! Stop it! Both of you!" She yells
"Look at yourselves. Can't you see what's happening?" I ask them
"This place has tempted you. It's bewitching you. This is exactly what Coriakin was talking about. Let's just get out of here" Lucy tells them then walks away

I stare at both of them
"Youre Kings, rulers of Narnia, yet here you are acting like this. You're not children, act like you have control of yourselves please, or I'll leave you here and finish the journey on my own" I tell them before walking off
