Epilogue

The day started off like any other day. Princess Eleniel was sitting in the library reading a book of poetry while the sun was setting outside. Seeing the light change, she closed her book and made her way to the large window. She knew it would be dinner time soon so she wanted to watch the sun set before she was called.

She loved watching the snow and ice sparkle in the sun light, it just made everything seem so magical and had a calming effect on her. Then when it was dark the snow would light the darkness. Eleniel loved the snow and ice; she loved the way snow would gently float down from the clouds and replaced the dirty snow on the ground.

She continued to look outside at the grounds surrounding the palace when she saw a figure moving towards the castle. It was moving slowly, struggling in the snow, when she saw that is was a person, just like her. They came into the palace and she made her way from the library down to the throne room. She stayed hidden behind a doorway and listened into what was going on.

"Please lower your hood and state your name and why you are here," said one of her guards. Eleniel dared to lean out a little further and get a glimpse of the person and she couldn't help but gasp when the hood lowered and there stood Edmund with a straight face.

"I am King Edmund the Just and I've come to see Eleniel, Princess of Narnia," he said strongly. The guards were taken aback by his sudden appearance as well and there was a pause before the other guards bowed down towards him.

"Y-yes, your majesty," said the guard bowing then turning around but Eleniel had already stepped out.

"Leave us," said Eleniel not taking her eyes off of Edmund, and likewise he did not remove his from her figure as it gracefully moved towards him, her flowing white dress trailing behind her.

"Yes, your majesty, said the guard, he made a motion and all the other guards left the room.

Eleniel, not really knowing what to do or why he was here, moved to her throne of ice and sat on the edge of the seat. They stared at each other for a while before Edmund dared to move in closer till he was right before her and he kneeled down and took her hands.

"How have you been?" he asked and Eleniel couldn't help but laugh at this which caused him to smile.

"We haven't seen each other in such a long time and we are somehow both in Aslan's country, the Narnia we used to know is completely gone and you choose to begin the conversation with 'how have you been'? Seems too casual," she said smiling.

"Honestly, I really didn't know how to begin and I would like to know how you've been," he said with a shrug.

"Well then how about we go somewhere more comfortable and we can talk about things past over some hot cocoa," she suggested. He smiled and nodded. She told a guard to bring up some hot cocoa and she took Edmund's hand and led him up to her library where they sat down and made idle conversation till the hot cocoa was brought up and she dismissed the guard.

"First I want to know how you got here," she said.

"It's a mixture of both good and bad. The good being, that when we came here we were in Aslan's country and we got to see our old friends again, and that this only the beginning of something great. The bad being that in our world, the one my brother and sisters came from, and my cousin and his friend, and Professor Kirke and his friend, well we all kind of died in a train accident," he said.

"You all died?" she asked shocked.

"Yes, the train derailed as it was pulling into the station. The only one still alive is Susan but that's because she wasn't with us since she forgot about Narnai," he said.

"Wow, so you just ended up here?"

"Sort of, We had to help some people out in the other Narnia and make sure they got here safely before Father Time destroyed that Narnia and we shut the door on it forever. Now we get to live peacefully here in the real Narnia. Once everything was said and done over there, we got settled into the real Cair Paravel, and I found Reepicheep who told me I could find you here."

"Ah, well then," she said.

"My question for you is why are you here? I thought you severed all ties to your mother," he said, "this looks exactly like her castle and kingdom only it doesn't stretch over all of Narnia."

"Well when I got here and the true kings ad queens weren't here I didn't feel it my right to be in Cair Paravel, so I came here and ruled this land, just waiting for you guys to join me. I knew you would eventually, I just never thought it would be this soon."

"Are you happy I am here?"

"Yes, but also sad in which the circumstances that you are here."

"But now that all the kings and queens are here what are you going to do, would you like to return with me back to Cair Paravel or remain here?" Eleniel paused before giving him a gentle smile.

"I don't care where I am, just as long as I'm with you I'm good," she said.

"You know all the kings and queens who ever ruled in Narnia, including the very first rulers, are here, they can run Cair Paravel, and I can stay here with you. But we would have to go and visit my everyone before I do make the move here," he said.

"That sounds like a plan, we can leave in the morning."

"Good, now why did you choose to live in a castle just as creepy as the one you grew up in?"

"Shut up, it's home for me," she said.

._

The next day they arrived in Cair Paravel to the excitement of a great ball happening in the honour of the beginning of a new dawn. All of the kings and queens were there and Eleniel was more than happy to join in the festivities and catch of with those she had seen in a while, which was pretty much everyone.

Lucy was most excited to see her and introduce her to those she had not met who came from her world, and in her excitement she even introduced her to Eustace, despite their voyage on the Dawn Treader together. She tried to dance with everyone who asked but it was hard since Edmund spent a lot of time hogging her, which was explainable for they had not seen each other in a long time.

The party ended and everyone tiredly trudged back to their rooms, still full of merriment. Because of the increase in kings and queens to house, there was a room issue at Cair Paravel and Eleniel happily gave up her room to another couple and she went to stay in Edmund's room. No one objected.

"You knew there was a ball tonight, that's why you wanted to come back," she said as she took her shoes off.

"Yep," he said nodding and turning down the covers of his bed.

"You could have just told me, I still would have come," she said now removing her jewelry.

"I could have, but I wanted it to be a surprise," he said giving her a cheeky smile.

"Why do I get the feeling you have another surprise up your sleeve?" she said before grabbing her nightgown and moving behind the changing screen.

"I might, but I might not. That's the joy of a surprise," he said and deciding to forgo the changing screen and pulled his tunic off.

"Fine, keep your secrets, I'm too tired to care," she said slinging her dress over the screen and pulling her night gown on.

"Good," he said pulling his night shirt on.

Once changed they got into bed and were fast asleep in a heart beat.

The next morning after a rushed breakfast, all of the kings, queens, and the princess, gathered in the war room, sitting around a table with a map of the lands in front of them.

"Fellow Kings and Queens," began Peter who everyone decided could take charge.

"Ahem," muttered Eleniel.

"And Princess," he said and she gave him a big grin.

"Thank you," she said smiling.

"We find ourselves in a predicament. Where we are now is peaceful and a dreamlike world, there is still way too many of us and we can't all be located here at Cair Paravel. The best solution is to divide the land between the rulers, but it will still all be Narnia. The new regions will be known as states and each one will have a new castle or home built for the ruler or rulers. Cair Paravel will remain neutral, under no control and will home the very first King and Queen to look after the land like they always have. The only already designated area is in the north. Where ice and snow touches the land is where Eleniel will preside, and now that it's come to my understanding, my brother, King Edmund will live with her there as well," said Peter pointing out locations on the map.

"Likewise, because he is our brother, King Peter and I will take and forest land next to the snow lands of the north," said Lucy.

"The rest is for you to decide amongst yourselves," said Peter.

Chatter began immediately and slowly but surely all of the land was claimed in areas that made sense to those rulers, for example Caspian and his wife took the islands because he was known as a great seafarer. Once territory was claimed and peace treaties were signed, so that no one would claim war on another, things were about to come to and end and everyone was to go pack but Edmund stopped this.

"Now I do believe that is all the business that needs t o be covered today," said Peter smiling, quite happy with the results.

"I have one more order of business," said Edmund standing up.

"Then please, brother, go ahead," said Peter smiling. Eleniel looked around the table and noticed that everyone was smiling and looking either at Edmund or at her. She then looked at Edmund who glanced at her and she narrowed her eyes. She really hoped he wasn't about to do what she thought he was going to do.

"My business involves a very strategic partnership, we already have claimed the ice lands as our territory together so the strategic part is to make it official," he said addressing the table before turning to Eleniel.

"Don't you dare," she said before he smirked and got down on one knee.

"Eleniel, princess of Narnia, would you like to be come queen?" he asked and held a ring up to her and everyone watched with wider smiles.

"You planned this, that's why you kept going off to talk to people at the ball last night and why you wanted to return for it," she said.

"You caught me. Now, your answer?" he asked.

"Fine, yes I'll become another queen," she said trying to play it off but the smile on her face gave her away. He smiled and placed the ring on her finger before hugging her.

"Go on and give her a kiss you git," said Eustace shouting from a doorway. Edmund smiled and kissed her causing everyone at the table to cheer and applaud.

"It was bound to happen sometime," said Caspian smiling to his wife and son.

"Now we need to find someone for Peter," said Professor Kirke.

"Don't rush me, there are plenty of mermaids in the sea. Plus, now we have all the time in the world," said Peter.

And he did, they all did, and never did they have to worry about evil witches, hundred years of snow, foreign invaders, or any other problems they had in the past for now there was peace and everyone was having the time of their lives. Nothing could have been more perfect. Edmund and Eleniel had gotten married and she had finally became a queen of Narnia after so long of being just a princess.

Father Time slumbered on in those days and each one was filled with new adventures and new friendships that will last on forever, as long as Aslan and Father Time permits.

The end.

A/n: I know it has been a while but I have been crazy busy. And be thankful of this cold I received from working around little kdis all the time because today I was tempted to go to Disneyland but since I'm sick I decided it would be best to stay home and post things I need to post and work on costumes.

The ending isn't the best, but it sums it up and hopefully gives the readers what they want.

Thank you for reading and reviews are welcomed.
