Well, my one chance to break the chain of video posts. WARNING! You are being warned ahead of time. The reading of this horribly written story may result in certain side effects afterwards. I’ve recently emailed Elenatintil and Miss Eliza Bennet this specific chapter of my Narnia series, and I received a reply but a few days after sending it:
Dear Sir:I regret to inform you that Miss Elizabeth Bennet was feeling very unwell after reading this email. She was taken up in a fainting fit and has kept to her room the past few days. After further study of this great work, however, she noted that perhaps it is not as bad as you had led her to believe. She sympathizes with you and understands that you were but a young boy when writing it; but ten and four. We here at Longbourn realize that you are not responsible for the reaction Miss Lizzy has experienced. Sincerely, Mrs. Hill Housekeeper
Taking this into consideration, I advise you to be extremely careful, and if you feel any sort of faintness while reading this, please stop, take a breath, and depending on how you feel, decide on whether or not to continue.
You Were Warned!!!
Chapter 3:
The party rode on towards their destination, Cair Paravel. Caspian had rebuilt the ruined castle, connecting the island to the mainland, and clearing most of the overgrown woods.
“I give to you Cair Paravel! Your new home my majesties!” said Caspian on his horse.
“Amazing! How long did it take you to make all the changes?” asked Peter.
“Five years!” proudly said Caspian, “five years of work to restore the greatest of all the landmarks of Narnia.”
They rode through the gate, the guards saluting the Kings and Queens. The main courtyard had now a great statue, a fountain. The shape was of a Lion, Aslan. Lucy was first to notice. “What a lovely statue!” exclaimed Lucy.
“Ah yes dear Lucy,” replied Caspian, “Carved of the finest stone by the dwarves, Amazing workmanship I must say.”
Edmund started to grumble to himself about being hungry. Caspian noticed and ordered that the great hall be prepared for a feast. The children were then led to their chambers and were given the finest garments, weaved by magic. The boys’ clothing consisted of a red shirt, the sleeves extending to his elbows. The pants were built as that of a soldier, large and heavy, but they didn’t mind. The girls were given elegant dresses a mixture of red, green, and purple, with diamond hemming.
They were given their gifts back, which they received from Father Christmas, many years ago. Peter fixed his belt and scabbard, examining the sword. The sword had not aged or rusted, for it was forged with the deep magic. Susan received her horn and bow, the first, which she carried with her at all, times. And Lucy, she was excited to have her vial back, thought it was half empty.
They then went to the great table, for the feast. On the table was set everything that one could imagine. Creams, butter, fruits, duck, and the finest of wines. They were all hungry and ate their fill. Susan was first to start the conversation, “Caspian, we are grateful for your hospitality. I mean, thank you for the meal.”
“You are very welcome my Queen.” He replied.
The group started to talk for a while, about many concerns over the safety of Narnia. Lucy eventually grew tired of the talk and decided to take a walk. She quietly slipped away, without anyone’s notice. Lucy walked for a bit, through the great halls, finally reaching the garden. She noticed a small structure, much like a well, in the center of the garden. She stepped in closer, to have a look. Then, by some magic or another, the well pulled her gaze. There was a ripple in the water, she looked closer. A picture was forming in the water! At first the image was blurred, but it became clearer and clearer. Finally Lucy was able to make out the image as a lion. It was sitting on a grassy slope, the wind flowing through its mane. “Aslan!” Lucy exclaimed. And then the image vanished. Lucy was puzzled, and headed back to the room where the others had been feasting. She told them what had happened, but no one believed her. She turned to face Caspian, but he lifted his eyebrow and gave her a piecing look.
“Lucy! Behave yourself, I do believe you should get to bed now!” said Susan, who then got up and walked Lucy to her chambers.
The boys then started to talk about the preparations for war. Peter started, “Caspian, when shall your army be ready to march?”
“They are assembled, at the pass into Archenland. We may ride to meet them, it is a few hours ride.” He replied.
“Good, how many men do you have?”
“Twenty-Thousand at most my lord.”
“We shall ride to them, and show Calormen that Narnia is a force to be reckoned with!” said Peter in a commanding voice.
“Shall we set out in the morning my king?” asked Caspian.
“Yes! For honor and glory!” shouted Peter.
They then also proceeded to their own chambers, for they had a long day ahead of them…
IT BURNSSSS!!! IT FREEZEESSS!!!!!! MY EYES!! OH MY EYES!!!!!

I can’t… I can’t… I can……… *thump* (thump=the fainting part)

*concerned expression* I am most extrodinarily surprised by how easily everyone seems to be loosing conciousness around here. Am I the only one with a healthy constitution?
I see no cause for fainting. Shock, perhaps, as such an abhominable disregard for concrete facts of Narnian history (even within the realm of fan-fiction), and surprise that a young man would pay so much attention to the detail of clothing…yet still, nothing that would cause me to fall into a fainting fit.
But then, I enjoy reading whatever any of my friends have written- even if it was horrible. For, like Miss Lizzy Bennet, I dearly love to laugh. It makes life bearable.
And, as I think we have seen elsewhere on this blog, our friend Master Xavier is a quite capable writer.

P.s. Mrs. Hill’s letter is HILARIOUS! My goodness…I’d love to see more of THOSE!

P.P.S.
Apologies for yet another postscript, but how many times must I beg to see the NEXT installment of this story? I believe I’ve waited quite long enough, thank you!

*laughs* Yes, Miss Bennet can be quite the character.
Though Mrs. Hill has only sent me one letter… But at least it serves as a steadfast warning. As her letter mentioned, I was but 14 when I wrote it. Twas the January after LWW was released… Narnia Fever. And concerning chapter 4. Patience is a virtue which you must learn Elena.
Marc! No!!! You’ll freeze to death by your laptop! *cough*

Ahem. I’ve spent five years being patient for something much more important than this…I can be perfectly satisfied when I want to.
