To all you Earth-Dwellers,
Greetings. I received your last message yesterday and I am now at the castle Cair Paravel anxiously awaiting the return of my son, who is out hunting. In response to your inquiry as to my recent adventures, I have detailed in this letter three events that have transpired in the past decade. Fighting Miraz for the throne was the first event, and probably the most horrendous adventure yet. Eventually, I went on a journey almost to the end of the world, I then married.
Although I, Prince Caspian the tenth, was the rightful king of Narnia, my perverse uncle had usurped the throne from my father. Because of this, I was forced to flee from my uncle Miraz, who wished to kill me. Joining the Old Narnians, I launched a revolt against Miraz, a Telemarine. Reluctantly, after losing quite a few battles, I blew a magic horn that would allegedly bring help. And help did come. It came in two forms, the first being in the form of Peter (who later defeated Miraz in single combat), Edmond, Susan, and Lucy. Because Aslan returned, the trees awakened and were the other form of help. Boy, were the Telemarines terrified when the trees assumed their semi-human forms and charged! Having defeated the Telemarine army, I, Caspian, was crowned king of Narnia.
Three years later, when I had firmly established my throne, I departed on a potentially perilous sea voyage which took me almost to the end of the world. After leaving the Seven Isles, I picked up three of you earth-dwellers, namely, Edmond, Lucy and Eustace. Eventually, I reached the Lone Islands, and later, the Island of the Voices. When we were almost at the end of our journey, we reached an island named the Beginning of the End of the World, the last milestone in our journey.
Having reached this island, I met my future wife, the daughter of a star (not a star as in a famous person, star in the sense of a luminous being in the night sky). When we had rested there, my crew and I continued on towards the end of the world, and we nearly got there. But the water became too shallow for the Dawn Treader, so Reepicheep, who was a Mouse, finished the journey alone in his coracle. After returning to the island, I married the daughter of the star before going home to Narnia. (“She is the most beautiful woman that ever lived,” I had said of her. Grievously, many years later, she was slaughtered by a snake.)
So I think that you can see I’ve had a rather wild ten years, what with defeating Miraz, journeying to the end of the world, marrying, and all. However, in conclusion, I must readily admit that the fight for Narnia, which was won only by Aslan’s help, was by far the most terrifying experience. But the perilous journey to the end of the world was the most interesting. As the reader, when you receive my letter, you must decide for yourself which one was the most exciting.
Later,
King Caspian X
