old land with no flag

' Where sky and water meet'

'Where the waves grow ever sweet'

'Doubt not, you, Reepicheep'

'To find all that you seek'

'There is the utter east'

'Doubt not...'

"That's pretty."
"Ah! Oh, oh! Thank you." Reep noosed to Lucy. He walked to her. "A dryad sung it to me when I was just a mouseling." he explained. Emma walked up behind Lucy.
"It is rather beautiful." She commented.
"Thank you. I can't divine the meaning but, uh, I've never forgotten the words." he told the two.
"What do you think is past the Lone Islands, Reep?" Lucy asked with a smile.

"Well, I've been told the furthest east one can sail is to the end of the world," he tells them. "Aslan's county."
"Do you really believe there's such a place?" Emma inquired.
"Well, we have nothing, if not belief." He tells them. Lucy's face fell. "So you think you could actually sail there?" she asked there mouse companion.
"Well," Reep sighed. "There is only one way of finding that out." He walked backward. "I only hope I will one day earn the right to see it."
"I'm sure you already have, Reep." Emma smiled kindly at him.
Lucy looked around then was drawn to the water. She leaned over and saw mer-people swimming. She giggled.
"Emma! Come look!" She said glancing to her sister. Emma ran over and looked over too. She smiled as she saw them. They were jumping around the front boat.
One looked at the girls and smiled, waving. Lucy waved back and Emma just smiled and nodded to them.
