They find out that years has past since they left Narnia, and now it has been invaded by Telmarines , who forced the Narnians to live in hiding. With the help of the dwarf Trumpkin , they set out to find the Telmarine prince named Caspian X , who has fled his home after his uncle tries to kill him, and now Lucy and her siblings fight to put Caspian on the throne of Narnia.
Lucy is the only one who really keeps her faith in Aslan throughout the story. She sees him once across the river telling her to follow him, but she goes against her own heart and follows her older siblings who couldn't see Aslan and thus didn't believe her safe for Edmund who explains that last time he didn't believe Lucy he ended up looking pretty stupid. He later visits her in a dream. After a joyful embrace, Lucy was convicted for listening to her siblings' peer pressure when she ought to have followed Aslan before.
Aslan told her to wake the others at once and tell them to go to Caspian's camp. When the war against the Telmarines came, Lucy and Susan was sent to find Aslan to help them.
After Susan left her in order to take out the Telmarines that had followed them, Lucy was left on her own. She found Aslan and after she had talked to him he agreed to help them against the Telmarines. With their escape route cut off, the Telmarine army surrendered and Prince Caspian was brought forth to meet Aslan. Lucy witnessed his knighting, and met and magically healed many soldiers in the Narnian army, including Reepicheep the High Mouse. In the aftermath, the four siblings were given rooms and amenities in Prince Caspian's castle.
A few days later, Aslan had a door set up in the meadow, summoning all the people to a meeting. There, Aslan told the Telmarines that they were descended from seafarers from the world of Earth, and if they wished he would send them back to that world through the door.
Taking the lead, Peter and Susan explained to Lucy and Edmund that Aslan was sending them home as well.
Lucy bade a tearful farewell to Narnia and to Aslan, and stepped through the door back into England. In England again, Lucy spent first year at boarding school.
While there, she made several friends. In summer of , she and Edmund were sent to stay with their aunt and Uncle while their parents went away on a trip. It was during this time that they, along with their cousin, Eustace, were brought back into Narnia through a painting. The three landed in the sea, and were quickly hoisted up onto the ship.
Lucy was the first to come onto the ship and the first to recognize it's one of its occupants: King Caspian, their friend. Lucy was quickly introduced the ship, the Dawn Treader, its Narnian-Telmarine Crew, and its purpose: To find seven missing lords of Narnia.
Lucy was thereafter given Caspian's own cabin to stay in, and was permitted to wear his clothes. Her magic Cordial, also on the ship, was returned to her and used to cure Eustace of seasick. Lucy also gets a dwarfs sword in order to defend herself in the time of need. Shortly after their arrival, the Dawn Treader came into sight of the Lone Islands. Lucy wanted to walk on the island Felimath, which she remembered from being queen, and Caspian agreed, sending the ship on to the other side of the island while Lucy, Edmund, Caspian, Eustace, and Reepicheep walked.
On the way, however, they were kidnapped by slave traders, and all but Caspian spent a night on a slave ship. The following morning, they were taken to Narrowhave to be sold in a slave market. Lucy, being obviously well-bred and hard-working, was purchased quickly, but was freed almost instantly when Caspian arrived, announcing his kingship, and shut down the trade. During a friendy swordfight between Edmund and Caspian, and then Eustace and Reepicheep a barrel was knocked over and revealed a young girl, Gael, who had followed her father onto the ship in order to look for her mother.
Lucy takes the girl under her wings and watches over her during her time on the ship. The ship then later docks at what looked to be a normal island. During the night when everyone sleeps, some invisible inhabitants kidnap Lucy and takes her to a house. They tell her that she must go in and reverse the spell that have made them invisible, if she does not they will kill all the others. Lucy did as they had instructed her and found the book of spells. Leafing through it she came across a spell that was said to make her beautiful.
Out of jealousy and vanity, she read the spell and started to transform to Susan, whose beauty Lucy wished to achieve. Lenny New member. Namaste said:. Click to expand Meshell07 New member. Yeah they are different from the book and the movie. Perhaps Lewis' lack of information on this subject is on purpose. Perhaps he wants us to decide for ourselves how old the Pevensie kids are so it's believable to each of us who reads the book. When I was younger I was sure Peter and Susan couldn't have been any older than maybe 11 or 12, and Lucy couldn't be any older than 7, and Edmund was somewhere in between.
But that was with my own child eyes. Now as an adult I feel Peter can't be any younger than 15 and Susan no younger than 13, and Lucy no younger than 8, once again leaving Edmund somewhere in between my guess is 10 or 11 because now as an adult I feel these ages are appropriate for the things they do. So, perhaps Lewis wanted to be vague so that people wouldn't have preconceived notions on what kids of a certain age are capable of, and that way the entire story would be more believable to us.
I dunno, just a theory. I understand what you mean. I think as a kid I always saw the Pevensies as younger, but I think now that I am older I cannot see them as little kids and being able to do what they did. Perhaps it is because I studied enough history in college to see it as unlikely for a child of even 15 or 16 to lead an army and live through a war like that. Even my favorite, Henry V was in his late 20s and had years of training and an expert army with him when he defeated the French at Agincourt.
Lewis was a Medievalist, I'm certain he knew what was involved so I seems illogical that he would write the role of High King and general of the Narnian army for a youth of only 13?

Since the movies are new and I know have colored my perceptions, and I am sure they have influenced peoples as well, I just want people to be aware of it.
The original goal was to look for clues to age in the various Narnian texts. Aslan woke up the Dancing Trees from their 1,year slumber.
Lucy observes the River god destroying the bridge. Eventually, they reached the bridge of Beruna, which Aslan destroyed, with the help of the River God. With their escape route cut off, the Telmarine army surrendered, and Prince Caspian was brought forth to meet Aslan.
Lucy witnessed his knighting and met and magically healed many soldiers in the Narnian army, including Reepicheep the High Mouse. In the aftermath, the four siblings were given rooms and amenities in Prince Caspian's castle. A few days later, Aslan had a door set up in the meadow, summoning all the people to a meeting.

In the summer of , she and Edmund were sent to stay with their aunt and uncle while their parents went away on a trip. It was during this time that they, along with their cousin Eustace , were brought back into Narnia through a painting.
The three landed in the sea and were quickly hoisted up onto a ship. Lucy was the first to come on board, and the first to recognize one of its occupants, their friend King Caspian. He quickly introduced her to the ship, the Dawn Treader , its Narnian-Telmarine crew, and its purpose; to find seven missing lords of Narnia, and to explore the seas to the end of the world, in the hopes of finding a way to Aslan's Country.
Lucy was thereafter given Caspian's cabin to stay in and was permitted to wear his clothes. Her magic cordial and dagger, also on board the ship, was returned to her, which she used to cure Eustace of seasickness. Shortly after their arrival, the Dawn Treader came into sight of the Lone Islands. Lucy wanted to walk on the island Felimath , which she remembered from her time as queen, and Caspian agreed, sending the ship on to the other side of the island while Lucy, Edmund, Caspian, Eustace walked.
On the way, however, they were kidnapped by slave traders, and Lucy and Eustace were taken to the slave market with Edmund and Caspian threw in the dungeon.
The following morning, they were taken to Narrowhaven to be sold in a slave market. Lucy, being well-bred and hard-working, was purchased quickly, but freed almost instantly when Reepicheep and the crew arrived, announcing his kingship, and shut down the trade.
After three weeks, the Dawn Treader finally set out again and had several days of fine weather. It did not last, however, and soon a storm came up that lasted twelve days, causing damage to the ship, which required them to land on a strange island. Before they could even begin their repairs, Eustace went missing.
A search party was sent out, but no sign of him was found, until the following morning when a dragon flew into the camp, landing on the beach between the crew and the ship. They were wary until Lucy saw that the dragon was crying, and offered to heal its wounded leg. Through a series of questions, Lucy and the others worked out that the dragon was a spellbound Eustace.
After the spell on Eustace was lifted, the ship sailed on until a few days later, when a Sea Serpent attacked, winding itself around the Dawn Treader , to crush it. The crew successfully escaped and sailed on to yet another strange island, where they decided to walk.
On the island, at the bottom of a nearby pool, was a statue that looked to be made of solid gold. They discovered that anything that touched the water in the pool was instantly turned to gold. Caspian, Edmund, and Lucy began to quarrel until they all spotted Aslan on a nearby hill. Realizing the island was heavily enchanted, they all returned to the ship. The next island that the Dawn Treader came to was surprisingly modern. As the others headed inland along the path, Lucy stayed behind a moment and heard a strange thumping sound.
Soon voices were talking, which Lucy realized belonged to invisible people planning to kidnap the Narnians while they were away from their ship. Lucy hurried to find Edmund and Caspian and told her story. Deciding to go back down to the boat, they found that these ' Dufflepuds ' were not only un-intelligent but also lacking in courage.
They requested that Lucy would perform a spell to make them visible, going into the house of magician they regarded as evil and refused to enter themselves. Lucy agreed if only to save her friends' lives. Lucy did as the Duffers had instructed her, and found the magician 's Book of Incantations. Leafing through it, she came upon a spell that was said to make her beautiful beyond a lot of mortals. About to utter it out of jealousy, and vanity, she was stopped when she looked back at the opening words of the spell and saw Aslan's face staring into hers.
After passing over many more spells, she found the correct one and spoke it. Both Aslan and the magician, whom the Dufflepuds so feared, entered and greeted her. After meeting the magician, who was, in fact, a follower of Aslan, and spending some time on the island, the Dawn Treader again sailed east.
Twelve days passed by, until a mist appeared in the distance, growing into darkness hovering over the water. Although all were apprehensive, they rowed on until a man appeared in the water, and was quickly hauled on board. The stranger warned them to escape as quickly as they could, for the darkness harbored the island where dreams and nightmares came true. Instantly they began to frantically row their way back out, but after a while, they began to think that they were caught and would never escape.
Lucy, who was positioned in the fighting-top, with a bow at the ready, whispered to Aslan, begging for his help, and a beam of light appeared in the dark. A bird came out of the beam, an albatross , which spoke to Lucy with Aslan's voice, and led them out of the dark. In the following days, another island came into sight.
On the island was set a long table prepared with a banquet such had never been seen. Three of the chairs at the table were filled, and in them sat three lords, all under an enchanted sleep. Lucy, Caspian, Edmund, Eustace, and Reepicheep sat at the table to spend the night.
Early in the morning, they awoke to find a lady coming to the table. She told them of the three lords, and that the island was the beginning of the end of the world. Her father, the star Ramandu , told Caspian that to break the enchantment that held the lords asleep, he must sail to the end of the world and leave one person behind. There were sad goodbyes, and then they did as they were told. When they came to a shore, Reepicheep took his boat on into Aslan's Country, while Lucy and the others made their way ashore.
There was a lamb there, and as it spoke to them it changed to become the Lion himself, who told Lucy that she and Edmund would never come back to Narnia. Then Aslan kissed their foreheads, and they were back in Lucy's room in Eustace's house. Afterward, Lucy grew up fairly normally, eventually becoming one of the self-titled Seven Friends of Narnia , those who had been to the world of Narnia by magic. The figure did not speak, even when Peter demanded as High King that it do so.
After the specter disappeared again, they all felt sure that something was dreadfully wrong in their beloved country, and they needed to find a way to get there on their own. Remembering the Magic Rings that were capable of carrying humans from one world to another, the seven set up a plan to get young Jill and Eustace to Narnia. While the rings were retrieved, Lucy and the others got on a train to take Eustace and Jill to school, intending to use the rings on the way.
They never made it, though, as their train had crashed on the way, killing at least nine people. Lucy was among the casualties, having died instantly as a result of the crash.
Aslan had transported Lucy, along with Edmund, Peter, Digory, and Polly, to a great green field with fruit trees, and a door that led to nowhere, clothed in Narnian garb. Several people came in or out of the door, but most seemed unable to see the fields or Lucy and her companions.
After some time, Eustace, and then Jill, came through the door, explaining that they had been to Narnia on the other side of the door. Once everything in Narnia had been straightened out, and many other Narnians had joined them, the Friends of Narnia stood by, as Aslan brought about the end of Old Narnia.
