Author's POV
"We did it. I knew we would." Lucy says as Caspian and Elizabeth walk over to her and Edmund. Caspian fondly clasps a hand on her shoulder, slightly rubbing her back.
"It wasn't just us, though." Edmund adds.
"You mean-" Caspian begins, interrupted by a familiar voice.
"Hey! Hey, I'm down here, Lucy! Over here! Hey, Lucy. I'm in the water. Lucy!" Eustace calls out, treading in the ocean.
"Eustace!" Lucy exclaims with a smile.
"I'm a boy again. I'm a boy!" He beams.
"Eustace! I see your wings have been clipped! Ha, ha!" Reepicheep laughs, jumping in.
"Hey, Caspian." Elizabeth says, an evil glint in her eye.
"Yes?" Caspian answers. Without hesitation, she pushes him into the water, then jumps in herself, laughing hysterically.
"Where sky and water meet, where the waves grow ever sweet...it is sweet. It's sweet!" The mouse sang before tasting the water.
"Look, look!" He exclaims, pointing forward.
"Aslan's Country." Elizabeth and Caspian say in sync.
"We must be close." Caspian adds.
"Well, we've come this far." Edmund shrugs.
"Let's go!" Elizabeth and Reepicheep exclaim.
They find a rowboat and temporarily depart from the Dawn Treader to see Aslan's Country.
Bright white lillies floated in the deep, blue water. Marku picks one up and gently puts it in Ellie's hair.
"Sorry." He gulps when Caspian clears his throat disapprovingly.
"So what was it like when Aslan changed you back?" Edmund asks his cousin.
"No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't do it myself. Then he came towards me. It sort of hurt, but it was good pain. You know, like when you pull a thorn from your foot. Being a dragon wasn't all bad. I mean, I think I was a better dragon than I was a boy, really. I'm so sorry for being such a sop." Eustace apologizes.
"It's ok Eustace. You were a pretty good dragon." Edmund admits, and we all smile.
"My friends, we have arrived." Reep declares.
