There was a massive table set for 12 people, but only on one side. Two seats in the middle were the largest and most elegant. The rest of the area had pillows and small coffee tables set around it, most of the soliders sitting there, while the table was filled up by high ranking officers. Caspian and Dakari were sitting in the large chairs, Derowynn next to Dakari. Vadiks eyes went wide seeing her, properly groomed. She was very beautiful, and seemed to blush as Vadik stared at her. The two girls that groomed Vadik lead him up to the table. They curtsied to the king, pausing and looking at Vadik expectantly. Confused for a few seconds, Vadik stared at them before on of them motioned for him to bow. 'Oh' Vadik mouthed, bending a little at his waist. Caspian laughed loudly, having already helped himself to a bit of wine. "My child, there's no reason for you to bow. Come, sit!" Caspian pointed to the empty chair next to him. Vadik went over to the chair, glancing at Derowynn, raising his eyebrow slightly.
After sitting down, Caspian stood up. The loud chatter in the crowed stopped instantly. The King lifted his bejeweled goblet, smiling like Santa Clause. "To our new guests," He bellowed, "May they stop Aborjan, and rule just as well, if not better, then the four siblings!" Vadik leaned forward a bit in his chair as the crowed cheered, looking to Dero with a 'what's going on?' look. Caspian took a gulp of his wine, sitting back down, still smiling. "What do you mean by that, sir?" Vadik asked. "Don't you see, boy? That's why you're here, that's why I called for you! Narnia has picked a new King and Queen, and that happens to be you and Miss Hopkins." Vadik frowned, sitting back in his chair. "I thought you were king, though," He continued. Caspian was carving a large turkey in front of him. "Aye, I am King, but only king of my own kingdom. You two are the rulers over all Narnia. So you guys are technically higher then I am on the food chain."
Vadik was about to ask more questions, but when he saw the steaming food brought before him, all questions left his mind. He didn't realize how hungry he was until then, his mouth watering and stomach rumbling. Vadik helped himself, scarfing down food happily, trying not to moan at the fantastic taste of everything. He even liked the wine, despite not being a massive alcohol lover. Vadik didn't push for anymore information on their being there until after everyone had eaten their fill, and now everyone was just sitting by the torchers, talking. Dakari had gone off to woo some girls, leaving Dero, Vadik, and Caspian sitting at the table. Vadik turned his chair a bit, looking at the lounging King. "Who's Aborjan? Why do you think it's us that is suppose to slay him? Not to burst your bubble, but neither of us are much of a fighter." Despite obviously doubting Caspian, the old king still smiled. "My boy, Narnia does not make mistakes! When I first met you, your instincts told you exactly what to do, and how to move. You know when to be careful around people, and when to give up the fight and trust them. I'm certain Miss Derowynn here is a very convincing talker, when she does converse," Caspian turned to Dero, grinning to her.
Vadik shifted in his seat. Although still not believing Caspian, what he said did make sense. Even though Vadik was a writer from Brooklyn, being here just felt right. Rhindon in his hands, Susans bow on his back, it all felt natural, like he was suppose to be wielding such weapons. Vadik looked to Derowynn, wondering if she felt the same way with the weapons given to her. Clicking his tongue, Vadik took a sip of wine. "And what about Aborjan?" He repeated. Caspian frowned at the name, looking down at the table. "He is a wizard. A sorcerer claiming to be the real king of Narnia. He's a hater of men, and a corrupt ruler. He wants to kill all things mortal, claiming that death is the lowest thing imaginable. He's afraid of it, constantly trying to find ways of immortalizing himself. You want to know what the funny thing is? Aborjan hates all humans, but he himself was once human."
