The Banquet and a Celebration:

Gena and I walked down various hallways and into the servant quarters. We had until seven in the evening to get ready and bathe. There were 20 rooms for all of us- so 2 to a room. Obviously, everyone knew that Gena and I wanted to share a room so no one protested. In the back of the room, between the two beds on either side, was an armoire where we could store our belongings. We didn’t have many belongings, so Mayor Alfieri of Utopia provided us with seven tan servant uniforms and two outfits to be worn during special occasions. We wanted to prove to the royal family that after surviving a disaster like we did, we can still look our best. Gena and I joked about our encounter with the royal family and how we were going to spend our time.

When finished unpacking, we headed toward the bathroom. We were the first of the girls to be done, so we had the bathroom to ourselves. There were only two bathtubs, so we picked one to bathe in and enjoyed the luxury of the clean, warm water complete with oils and sweet smelling soap. When we were done and had dried off, we headed to our room, while a swarm of girls headed toward the bathroom causing a ruckus all throughout the hallway.

“Liz, what are we to do now?” Gena asked

“Hmmm……I would like to explore the outside fields and discover enchanting waterfalls- Bear with me Gena, I know it seems like a fairy tale” I replied

“No, actually, I agree. We should leave now and come back in…..maybe an hour so we can get ready.” Gena said almost joyously.

We traveled down the pathway and found a waterfall. If you caught it at a certain angle, a bright rainbow would gleam across it. Gena and I couldn’t resist, so we jumped in at the same time and laughing once we had emerged from the cool waters. We lay in the buttercup freckled field to dry off. We just stared up at the clouds, caught in our own daydreams. Punctual Gena realized how much time flew and we raced back to our room to decide what to wear.

As we picked out our dresses, I exclaimed saying “Gena, in all of my life, I didn’t imagine I would sit with a King and dine with him!”

“Me either- I am soo happy for you!! Just don’t forget me during the feast” Gena said.

“Me forgetting you?? Never, not my best friend!” I said back.

Gena surprisingly said “Liz, I have a strange feeling that he fancies you a lot”

“Me??!! I don’t think he would fancy a servant girl such as myself” I said

“Well, you now that I have a knack for knowing exactly what people think and he like you Liz, I can feel it!! You know I’m right, you just can’t admit it!!”

“Gena!! Oh, I know you are always right, I can’t escape the truth but the feast shall be interesting, won’t it not?”

“Aye, it shall be finest because you will be there with your lovebird Peter” Gena said jokingly.

I laughed. I knew that it would be a fine feast. “Gena. I only met him for a minute!! He can’t like me in just a minute!”

“It only takes one second to form a crush and a minute to love, am I wrong?”

“Nope, not at all” I said and with that, we started to pick out our dress.

Looking onto the armoire, I had chosen a deep violet, velvet dress, the neck went down low but a lavender piece of silk covered that area, so it didn’t reveal anything ‘bad”. Around my waist was a silk ribbon, which was also lavender. I pulled out a wooden box that said “Rachel” with a border of pink flowers going around the name. I paused before opening the box, forcing bittersweet memories of my life in our village. Gena didn’t want to see me emotional, so she took the box, opened it and pulled out a golden chain with a white diamond in the shape of a square. It had been an heirloom of Rachel’s. She had tossed me the box when she was taken away. She pulled up my hair and put it around my neck. The diamond glistened in the light. Gena had chosen a light blue dress with pearls going across the top of her square neckline. It lit up her baby blue eyes, making them stand out. I fastened a dangling sapphire necklace around her neck. Next was our hair. Gena had brushed my brown hair and curled it into loose ringlets. My natural bronze highlights shone in the sun as a few stray strands fell in front of my eyes. I brushed Gena’s light brown air into a half-ponytail with tiny rhinestones spread out on the strands of hair pulled back.

In the hallway, we could hear the other girls worry about every detail, whether the kings preferred one color from anther. I found it silly because the men wouldn’t pay attention to such miniscule details.

Looking at our reflections in the mirror, we both looked like fallen goddesses because of all the devastation we had encountered.

“You look absolutely gorgeous!!!” both of us said it to each other at the same time and giggled. We were now ready.

Gena dragged me down the maze of hallways until we reached the Great Hall. Right after we had arrived in the hallway, Susan, Lucy, Edmund and Peter entered through the grand entrance. Peter looked handsome and regal in blue and gold. The gold circlet atop his golden hair, made it gleam. His blue eyes sparkled in the soft lighting in the room.

“Welcome!! Would you all be so kind as to follow us?” Peter said grandly.

And with that, they turned around and walked back into the way they had come. A large group of young girls and boys all cluttered to the front to have a good view of the royals. That left Gena and I in the rear. I stood on my tiptoes so I could at least see a glimpse of Peter, but the girls and boys made it impossible to see.

“I can’t see one speck of him Gena” I protested.

“Oh, were you looking for me??” a voice behind me said.

I immediately turned around on my heels and saw gleaming blue eyes looking down at me. I had to admit that I blushed a light pink in front of Peter. He had a huge grin on his face; I knew that Gena was right about what she said earlier. He extended his arm and I took it. He led me to the High Table to sit with his other siblings.

The Banquet and a Celebration Continued: (Chap 3)


Peter:

When I was finished with my greeting, I silently slipped past the guests, so I could reach the back of the crowd. She was standing right in front of me, a vision of a fallen goddess. Her deep purple dress brought out her complexion and her loose ringlets matched her chocolate eyes; the bronze highlights shining in the light. She took my breath away and I feel the chains wrapped around my heart pull even tighter. I had a yearning to stroke her hair and kiss her sun kissed nose. I heard her say “I can’t see one speck of him Gena” I said “Oh, were you looking for me??” laughing a little.

She stood there, gazing into my blue eyes, lost in thought. Her cheeks turned to a light pink, but I knew that I had done that earlier, so it didn’t bother me. I was just enthralled to see her again. She got her composition together and curtsied politely, and I bowed down to her level. I extended my arm and she took, her silent friend following behind us. I felt my arm get a tingling sensation from touching her. It made my heart want to fly.

“What till you see what we are going to eat!! It will be the most succulent food you have ever tasted.” I said excitedly, getting ahead of myself.

“Oh, I believe you, your majesty. I bet it will be the best food I have tasted in a long time!” she said at the same level of excitement that I had done.

“I believe that Lucy made a gift for you, from us all.” I said. Her eyes immediately lit up, but they were on the verge of tears. Her other arm came up to briefly wipe her eyes and act like nothing had happened.

“Oh, your majesty- you didn’t have to- I mean……” She stumbled over her words which I simply adored.

“Yes, it is your birthday!!! Besides, call me Peter, I insist. I don’t really like this majesty stuff.”

She smiled. Once again, I literally lost my breath. I paused a quick second and carried on. “Peter, I can’t wait. It is such a nice gesture that I can’t refuse.”

And with that, I led her to her seat between me and little Lucy. Lucy couldn’t contain herself and immediately hugged her right after Elizabeth sat down. Once everyone got settled, I said in my kingly voice “Welcome, to Cair Paravel. Before we all enjoy this delicious food, I want to wish Elizabeth a very happy 17th birthday!! She became a new friend today, but it feels as if I have known her all my life. I’m sure all of you are her friends as well and know that it is indeed her birthday. I want to dedicate this feast in honor of her birthday. Bon appetite!” Everyone cheered in Elizabeth’s honor. Her face just seemed to light up the whole room. Lucy stood up now and proclaimed “Now, from the Kings and Queens of Narnia, we would like to present our gift to dear Elizabeth.” I offered Elizabeth my hand and led her to the front of the room. Lucy opened up a wooden box lined with deep green velvet in the middle sat a circlet made of diamonds intertwined with ever-lasting miniature pale roses. I lifted it up and placed in gently onto her sweet brown locks.


Elizabeth:

When Lucy opened up the box, I couldn’t help but beam at what was inside of it. In it, sat a delicate diamond circlet intertwined with pale roses that would never die. As Peter was putting it atop of my head he said softly “As long as these roses shall live, that is how long our friendship shall last” I yet again blushed at the thought of those sweet words. I went and hugged Susan, Lucy, Edmund and Peter and genuinely hugged them. When we all sat down, the feast begun. Every food imaginable was there; seasoned chicken, roasted ham and turkey, bread, noodle soup, and scalloped potatoes. For desert, there was steamed pudding, chocolate cake and pecan pie. All of the food made my mouth water. During dinner, I talked a lot to Susan and Lucy while Edmund and Peter talked about fighting, swords and the techniques they are going to use. At one point in time, Edmund had spilled white wine on his tunic. He quickly got a napkin and dabbed it- making the stain not visible. Susan, Lucy, Peter and I just laughed at Edmund heartily at his incident. There felt as if there was magnetic forces bringing our arms together, our arms were resting next to each other. I felt a few sparks fly between our touch. I scanned the crowd and found Gena radiating in her natural beauty. Edmund followed my gaze and asked
“Who is that?”

“It is my best friend, Gena, if you must know Edmund.”

“Oh, thank-you. How old is she?”

“She is 16”

“I am 16 as well-perfect” Edmund mumbled to himself.

“Well, Edmund, I think it would be wise if you knew that her favorite flower is a pale orchid. And age doesn’t matter to her, as long as she likes him- that is all she cares about.” Edmund blushed and smiled saying a quick thanks while the girls laughed at him. Gena was oblivious to our laughing matter because she was engaged in a conversation so she didn’t hear us.


Gena:

The meal went by rapidly. The food was delicious and succulent. I was food heaven-that’s for sure. Elizabeth said something that had made Peter laugh and Edmund blush noticeably pink. Edmund was quite attractive with dark brown hair and brown eyes. I actually preferred boys with dark hair and eyes, it made them seem more attractive and mysterious. It was just the way I was. I thought that maybe Liz could introduce me to her new friend. When dinner was done, everything was cleared to make way for dancing. Of course, Peter and Elizabeth had the first dance in the middle of the room, alone. She had such poise and took light, graceful steps. They looked perfect together. As she spun around, and curls followed, she had such a sweet smile plastered on her face. I knew out of all the people here, she deserved it the most. She was having the time of her life. After that song finished, and another one started, people started to join in. I felt a light tap on my shoulder. When I looked up, I saw Edmund look down at me, holding a lovely bouquet of pale orchids. I took them and smelled the sweet aroma the flowers emitted.

“May I have this dance, my lady?”

“Why yes sire, you may”

“Oh, please call me Edmund- all my friends do”

I took a quick mental note to thank Liz and give her a hug as I followed Edmund onto the dance floor.

SWEET!!!!(A.K.A. cool)
