It’s 10 years today since the cinematic release of ‘The Voyage of The Dawn Treader’ & I can’t quite believe it. But I have kept some of my best friends in the world from these films and treasure so many incredible memories, so even though we may speak about the experiences less, I’m the luckiest… I have been able to take a piece of my Narnia with me!
I wanted to share some of those memories.
Eustace: “We spoke often of Narnia in the days that followed. And when my cousins left, after the war was over, I missed them. With all my heart. As I know all Narnians will miss them, until the end of time.

There was a deafening silence in the Throne Room as you awaited another one of your suitors, if truth be told, this particular suitor had been back and forth between the palace for a number of weeks now. Every time you rejected the proposal, the prince would shower you with lavish gifts, he was determined to get you but you would never say yes. You would never let Prince Erik to rule beside you as King.
You glanced over at your Captain of the Guards – who had been like a father to you since your own had died – and you wished that you hadn’t. He was looking straight at you and you could tell that from beneath his thick beard that his chin was trembling, you could tell that he was trying not to laugh. You felt your own lips quiver and you smothered a laugh of your own with a cough.
“Your Majesty,” the Captain started and it was a miracle that he was able to keep his voice steady, “maybe we should,” he was interrupted by the two doors slamming open and Erik came striding in but you heard the distinct noise of chains rattling.
“Queen, Y/N, the Queen of my dreams,” he smirked and it should have made him look more handsome but it only served to unnerve you.
“Prince Erik, what can I do for you this time?”
“You cannot reject me this time, my love, not when you see what I’ve brought you as a gift,” he reached behind him and dragged something forward.
The whole room gasped and every man looked like he wanted to kill Erik, it was the most beautiful being that you’d ever seen, a fairy with shimmering wings and curling silver hair that reached the floor. You were angry with Erik; how could anyone be so cruel?
“Come here,” you reached out to the fairy and she obediently walked towards you with fear on her face, you smiled gently and removed her chains, your anger rising when you saw the red marks on her wrists, “did he hurt you?” when the fairy shook her head, you wrapped your arms around her and glared at the Prince, “the capture of Narnian’s is illegal! And, you think that I’d ever marry you?! I will never marry you!”
Erik gave you such a cold look that you actually felt the temperature drop a little, “you can’t do this!”
“Arrest him!” your guards immediately jumped to attention and clapped him in iron, “hmm, I’ve changed my mind, let him go,” the guards obeyed your orders at once, but they still stood at attention and you slowly walked toward him, craning your head back to look up at him, “I am the Queen of this land, don’t presume to tell me what I can and can’t do,” you glanced back at your Captain, “throw him in the dungeons.”
Later on that day, you were on the beach, walking beside the rolling waves that were calm and quiet as a whisper, “I heard from a little fairy that the Queen of Narnia is the kindest woman in all the land,” you heard laughter in the warm silken voice.
You grinned as you looked down into the sea and saw the beautiful merman smirking up at you, his silver scales glittering in the sunlight. You smiled and sat down on the warm sand, “is she okay, Caspian?”
Caspian nodded and smiled, “she’s fine.”
You felt so ashamed that something so horrible had happened in your land, “I’m sorry.”
“It’s not your fault, Y/N.” he sighed and pulled himself out of the water to sit next to you, “you’re not going to marry him are you?” he asked, staring down at the golden sand.
“Of course not! I’m not going to marry any of them. How could I when you’re the most beautiful thing that I’ve ever seen?” you turned his chin so he looked at you.
Caspian smiled as he leaned into your touch and he gazed at you with sparkling brown eyes. He cupped your cheek and leaned over so he could kiss you. He was so gentle with you, like you were made of glass. Was he afraid you’d fall apart?
“I love you, Caspian,” you whispered, leaning your forehead against his.
Caspian smiled as he combed gentle fingers through your hair, “I love you too.”
You bit your lip as you pressed a lingering kiss to his lips, “marry me Caspian,” Caspian scoffed with a little laugh as he gave you a disbelieving look, “I’m serious,” you sighed.
Caspian gave you a wan smile, “I can’t Y/N, you need to marry someone of royal blood, I’m not even human.”
“I don’t care about any of that, Caspian,” you felt a horrible pain in your chest as he shook his head.
“I can’t Y/N.”
You stayed on the beach with Caspian until it grew dark and you headed back to the palace and retired to your quarters with a heavy heart. If you couldn’t marry Caspian, then you wouldn’t marry anyone.
A couple of weeks later, you were throwing the annual afternoon party in the gardens where the subjects and royalty could mix, it was something that your mother had started when she was Queen. The weather was beautiful as was the soft music that played but you could hardly appreciate it, you hadn’t seen Caspian since you had asked him to marry you, you didn’t regret asking him but you were so angry with yourself that you had ruined things.
“Your Majesty?” you heard a familiar soft voice coming from the water and you turned to look at the river that ran through the gardens. There he was, Caspian, he looked so beautiful and he looked almost bashful as he smiled at you, the entire party went silent as you walked over to him, kneeling at the river bank.
“Caspian,” you smiled as you reached out and touched his cheek.
“I’m sorry for disappearing, Y/N but I had something to plan,” he smiled and you nodded at him for him to continue, “I love you, I love you so much and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, anyway that I can,” he held out the flat of his palm and you saw the most beautiful silver ring with a pink pearl encased in the centre, “will you marry me?”
You smiled at him before you glanced over your shoulder to look at your people who were all looking at you with so much love and support and you looked back at Caspian who looked slightly nervous, your heart soared as you took the ring out of his hand and slipped it onto your finger.
“Yes, I will marry you, I love you so much,” you grinned as you kissed him beneath the blazing sun.

can I just say I’m obsessed with the use of crossbows in prince caspian (2008) LIKE when his uncle and 20 other men all fire them at little ben barnes’ bed???? just assassinates my nephew by machinegunning his fucking bed with him in it. I am very intelligent. ALSO condolences to the bloke who gets a crossbow bolt snipe in the face as mythical once and future battle strategist Edmund Pevensie gallops past him at 40mph in the body of a 14 year old private school boy.
look i will be the first to admit that the narnia films aren’t perfect but gods if prince caspian didn’t do an absolutely incredible job at capturing some of the intense bittersweetness and nostalgia associated with the idea of kings and queens returning to their lands thousands of years later in the bodies of children?? which is a premise that makes me go absolutely feral and lewis did not do enough with but, like, the scene where they stand in the ruins of their castle and realise how much time must have passed? “you were older then”??? the whole scene where they arrive at aslan’s how and the pevensies walk together slightly ahead of capsian??? the paintings of them on the wall that have clearly been there for ages, the way that mr tumnus’s lullaby plays whilst the camera zooms in on the painting of them? the history book that has them in it?? the ending scene, with regina spektors absolutely iconic song?? the brilliat juxtaposition of their childhood in london and adventures in narnia?? just i cannot express enough how much this movie makes me feel things
