What an epic story this was. I love how long you wrote it, the epic battles and all the descriptions of the ships, other characters and the landscape.

Poor Peter, you may be Magnificent but you still can't get over your seasickness. And Lucy finally coming with her cordial! I love the scene where Fiorenza's straightening the High King, making sure his buttons are all fastened while asking for the Guard to get his crown -- the familiarity of the movements makes one think that she's done this quite often in the past. It's kind of interesting to see it as a relationship of more than just King and subject. (Also terrific was when she ordered Osumare to straighten up and look more professionarl afterwards. Am totally loving how women in Narnia are so decisive and commanding when need be.)

A shame Narnia lost one two of its captains. Like Osumare, I had hoped Nelka Sabiny managed to save herself after ramming her boat into the Terebithian one. I loved the scene of Alacyn performing last rites on the dead -- very visual in my head, with the smoke trailing from the censer, the silent monkey, and the very, very early hours of the morning and darkness surrounding them with the lanterns glowing above their heads.

So even now, Peter still remember a little bit of their past in England. I'm surprised he still remembers that much when his head's been full of thoughts on ruling his country for the last decade or so. It's also interesting to see him even talk about that past.

“Ten gold suns to the scorpion that hulls the Sea Dragon!” -- what a way to encourage your troops, High King! :-)

So that's where Lucy and Fiorenza went during the battle! Very, very clever. I wonder whose idea it was to do that.

Since the mention and brief glimpse we've had of Osumare's brother, I've wondered if the two would ever meet again face to face, and you've actually gone and done it! I'm not actually sure who I feel more sorry for, Adan or Osumare. Probably both. And I'm a bit in agreement with Adan about Osumare seeing his mother but clearly, it would be impossible to walk around Terebinthia when people keep looking at you as a traitor.

Hypothetically, does Peter's oath to Terebinthia still stands after a thousand years? And it would be fun trying to imagine how Dust would have turned out if the Narnian Navy as it in the Golden Age still existed. It makes me look forward to the day we'll see Casmyn Wavewalker and his fleet in Narnia!
