The world danced around him, a swirl of light, dark, food, drink; a celebration of the living and a memorial of the dead. Narnians danced like they never had before, truly set free for the first time in over a millennia. Yet he sat still, leaning against a tree on the edge of the clearing, thoughts running wild planning a future for his people. As he watched the very legends of old laugh and be merry, all except one, he thought of the future he knew would never come true.

Queen Susan frowned into her cup before quietly moving away from her siblings, already dreading the future she knew would shortly come to pass. They would leave and once again her world would crumble behind her.

She turned; blue eyes locking with deep brown and for a moment two monarchs mourned the thought of a future not possible before living for the present that was.
