After few days of partying and celebrations the normal life had stared to return. Or as normal as it could get as now some Narnians decided to live in the city and find employment with their talents, while others wanted to continue to live in the woods, but no more having to hide.

But now Aslan had some things to say to the people, both Telmarine and Narnians. And so Caspian in Aslan's orders had gathered the Telmarines and remaining Narnians to the large courtyard to hear Aslan's word.

''Narnia belongs to the Narnians just as it does to man. Any Telmarnies who want to stay and live in peace are welcome to. And for any of you who wish, Aslan will return you to the home of our forefathers,'' Caspian then decladed to the crowd.

''It has been generations since we left Telmar,'' one man said from the crowd.

''We are not referring to Telmar. Your ancestors were sea-faring brigands, pirates run aground on an island. There they found a cave, a rare chasm that brought them here from their world, the same world as our kings and queens,'' Aslan says as he looks at the Pevensies next to him. ''It is to that island I can return you. It is a good place for any who wish to make a new start.''

That started a murmur amongst the people.

''I'll go. I will accept the offer,'' Captain Glozelle said loudly.

''So will we,'' Lady Prunaprismia says while holding her son as they both step forward.

''Because you have spoken first, your future in that world will be good,'' Aslan says as he breathes his breath over them. And then the grand oak tree opens up behind them creating a portal between this world and England. And as the Captain and Lady Prunaprismia walk through it they vanish from sight making the crowd gasp.

''How do we know he is not leading us to our deaths?!'' One man yells from the crowd.

''Sire, if my example can be of any service, I will take eleven mice though with no delay,'' Reepicheep then offers.

''We'll go,'' Peter then says surprising not only the crowd, but his siblings as well.

''We will?'' Edmund asks.

''Come on. Our time's up,'' Peter says as he walks over to Caspian and offers his sword. ''After all, we're not really needed here anymore.''

''I will look after it until your return,'' Caspian says as he takes the sword from Peter.

''I'm afraid that's just it…We're not coming back,'' Susan then says sadly.

''We're not?'' Lucy then asks.

''You two are,'' Peter says as he looks at Aslan, ''At least, I think he means you to.''

''But why? Did they do something wrong?'' Lucy then asks Aslan.

''Quite the opposite, dear one. But all things have their time. Your brother and sister have learned what they can from this world. Now it's time for them to live in their own,'' Aslans then explains.

'It's alright, Lu. It's not how I thought it would be, but it's alright. One day you'll see too. Come on,'' Peter says.

''Amanda?'' Lucy then holds her hand as if asking her to come too. Hope just looks sadly at her sister not knowing how to break the news to her.

''Lucy I don't…I don't think she's coming. Right?'' Peter then says to Hope with tears in his eyes. Tears finally land to Hope's cheeks as she quickly walks to her siblings and hug them.

''I wish we'd had more time together but at least I know you're alive and well,'' Hope says.

''But why? We're finally together, you can come home,'' Lucy tearfully says.

''Lucy as much as it pains me to say this, but Amanda is dead, I'm Hope a Winter Nymph who happens to be a reincarnation of the said Queen. I can't come, this is my home, I have family here and… a fiancé,'' she says.

After those last words Peter looks up and looks at Caspian who is looking at the tearful separation.

''We understand and I hope you'll be happy here. I'm also clad to know you're alive and well and that's more than enough,'' Peter says as he again hugs his twin.

Then they all went to say goodbye to the friends they've made in their short time in Narnia. And the Peter once again walks to Caspian and whispers, ''you break her heart and I don't care if I'm in another world I will find you and make you pay.''

''Completely understandable,'' Caspian says back and they then shake hands as a sign of mutual understanding and respect.

As the Pevensies start to walk through the portal Caspian holds Hope in one armed hug to give her the comfort she needs while seeing her siblings leave, not knowing when she'll see them again. Is it going to be a year, ten years or a century when they'll return again?

''Goodbye…for now,'' Hope whispers while Caspian tightens his hold on her as her tears runs freely down her cheeks.

The end!

Yeah, thank you to all who had the patience to wait this last chapter. But my muse decided to take an extended vacation and when that happens this happens. Long time between chapter updates. But it's finally finished, hooray!

Thank you to all, love you and once again review!
