Epilogue

For fifteen years after they were crowned, the four royal children ruled fairly and brought Narnia into what would later be known as 'The Golden Age'. They were loved, by all the people of Narnia, and through their connections by the people of Archenland and the people across the seas. Lucy grew into a kind young woman, always wanting to do the right by her people, growing into her beauty and becoming quite popular with males who visited the court. Her love for all the animals, creatures and land of Narnia was shown every day, and never was she hesitant so fight for her country. Edmund became just was his name said, a just ruler. His wisdom was sought throughout all of Narnia in all matters, his knowledge being documented in many law books. His humour could always bring a smile to his siblings face in the biggest of quarrels. Susan grew into a beautiful young woman, her gentle ways becoming famous across the seas. Always men were vying for her affection, but she instead spent her days organizing the special occasions in the castle. Her care for everyone around her was a comfort at the hardest of times.

As for Peter, he truly grew into the title of 'High King' ruling with all the wisdom and love for his country that could only be immediately connected with a spirit from Aslan himself. He never married, instead gave his heart to a Lady from across the land who had enchanted him body and soul and who he loved with everything he had. Aurelia spent her time travelling back and forth from Archenland and Narnia, strengthening relation between the two countries and bringing their trade back to what it was before the witch. Her health still a concern with Adane, who became second in command to the kind, and the captain of his army was never better. Despite many offers of marriage from nobles of Archenland and Calormen, Aurelia never accepted anyone, for she already belonged to Peter and would never betray him. Nobody ever knew why they never got married, the two just seemed already happy enough without having to label their relationship. Some said Aurelia didn't feel herself good enough to be Peter's queen, others said Peter didn't want to tie Aurelia to him, when she was so connected with his homeland. The years went by and soon Aurelia began spending more time in Narnia, not going back to Archenland for months at a time. The day came, when in a very private ceremony, Peter presented Aurelia with a ring, not an engagement ring, or a wedding ring, simply a ring binding her to him and he to her. No couple was ever happier than the King and his Lady.

It was a beautiful day in Narnia, and something in the air spoke of change and magic. The four siblings and Aurelia were getting ready to ride out into the forest, hunting the famous white stag. Dressed in their best riding clothes, the royals rode out of town that day, to the cheers of their people. The first sighting of the stag led them deep into the Western Woods, almost all the way across the country. Well into the afternoon, Edmund had to slow down, his horse tiring.

"You all right, Philip?" Edmund asked.

"I'm not as young as I once was," Philip huffed. Susan, Lucy, Peter and Aurelia doubled back to find Edmund, smiling with adrenaline.

"Come on now, Ed," Susan laughed.

"What did he say, Susan?" Lucy said.

"You girls stay at the castle, I'll catch the stag myself,"

Everyone laughed, even Edmund.

"Very funny," he said. Aurelia got down off her horse and patted its nose.

"Did you see which way it went?" she asked the group. Peter shook his head, also dismounting his horse. He put his hand softly on her back and kissed her head.

"If you're too tired for this…"

"I'm fine, Peter,"

"I just don't want you to over exert yourself. Adane says…"

"Peter," Susan swung down off her own horse and punched her brother in the arm. "Stop fussing. She's alright."

Peter sighed before looking up and noticing a lamp post covered in ivy, just a few feet in front of him. He looked up at it and touched the pole softly.

"What is this?" he breathed. "It seems familiar." Everyone stared at it, only Aurelia really realizing what it really was. Susan looked at her siblings in confusion.

"As if from a dream…" she said softly.

"Or a dream of a dream," Lucy mumbled. "Spare Oom!" Lucy ran from the group, excitedly. Susan groaned.

"Not again," and ran after her, closely pursued by Edmund. Peter took Aurelia's hand, meaning to go after his brother and sisters, but Aurelia stayed, something, she didn't know what, keeping her in her place.

"What is it?" Peter asked in confusion.

"You go, I'll stay here with the horses,"

"No, come with us. It's like tradition. Lucy runs off, we go after her," Peter laughed. Aurelia smiled and kissed him softly on the lips.

"You need some time with your family. Now go, before she runs too far this time," Peter kissed Aurelia one final time on the lips and squeezed her hand. "I will return." And with one last smiled he turned from her.

"I'll be waiting," Aurelia murmured, a single tear falling from her eye. Aslan had warned her this day might come, when she would have to say goodbye to these four children who had become her family. Aurelia turned back and stroked her horse on the nose. She knew she would see them again and would just have to be patient. But she knew they would return to Narnia, for once a King or Queen in Narnia, always a King or Queen in Narnia. Aurelia looked down at her ring and sighed, sad but hopeful for the future.

I'll be waiting.
