Disclaimer: No..I do not own the Chronicles of Narnia or I would be the happiest person on Earth.

This fanfic is a sort of continuation to the Voyage of the Dawn Treader and I have tried to fit it in with the book verse. Do review, I love having feedback about what people think.

:The Wood Between The Worlds

Aslan stood in The Wood Between The Worlds, looking into the pool which led to England and the world of the Pevensies where it seemed they no longer belonged. He watched as Lucy and Edmund Pevensie returned along with Eustace Clarence Scrubb, sighing and shaking his head as he saw a great sorrow unfold in the Pevensies' lives,

He turned away to the pool next to it beside which an 'X' had been cut into the grass by Diggory Kirke, the magician's nephew, more than 1,400 years ago. He had been away from Narnia for too long and now he saw that he had underestimated the power of the Deep Magic Before The Dawn Of Time. Ever since Peter and Susan Pevensie had left Narnia for the last time, Time had flowed simultaneously in Narnia and England, the relation apparent in the way in which the pools of these two worlds had moved closer together till they almost touched and merged.

The Great Lion knew that he would have to prevent the chaos which would occur if the worlds merged, Narnia was set on reclaiming what belonged to it and what was needed now by many in that world. He would ensure that no one but those who were needed there, those who had experienced Narnia and had no life left in England would be able to return there. He would prepare the way for the return of the kings and queens of old to Narnia.

Caspian knew that he must be dreaming but it all seemed so real.

He was standing on the cliff at the edge of the Telmarine Castle which had been abandoned by all but a few when Cair Paravel had been rebuilt. What made the dream so real was the lion who stood before the tree which had been used as a gateway back to the land where his ancestors had come from.

"Aslan." he said kneeling before him.

Aslan breathed over Caspian, and he remembered the days which he had spent with the Kings and Queens of the Golden Age.

"Rise, King Caspian the X."

"Is this a dream?" Caspian asked as he rose but kept his eyes down unable to meet the eyes of the great lion as he thought of his betrayal to the memory of the gentle queen.

"You will not stop at Ramandu's isle."

"But..the star's daughter." Caspian protested as he tried to feel sorrow but instead felt hope, that his love would be returned to him, that he would be made whole once again instead of having to marry for the sake of his kingdom and his subjects as he was doing now as he knew Queen Susan would have wanted him to do.

"Go if you love her, Caspian but know that you will be throwing away what loves gives you if you bring her back with you, if she will even come with you now for I can tell you only your story but not someone else's."

The cliff faded away and his mind was filled with an image of Queen Susan the Gentle for it was she whom he loved for eternity.

Please do read and review but don't flame.
