Pole and Scrubb left today for Cair Paravel. I imagine that now the task is done, Aslan will take them home soon. (If he hasn't already; I've had word from the owls that there's been no sign of them for awhile now). I stayed behind because of my foot. The leech is coming to see it; shouldn't wonder if he wants to have it off. It's most likely infected too. I'll probably die soon. All because of that witch and her wretched enchantments.
In an even soberer strain, word has been brought to me that our king, Caspian the Tenth, died today; right after he docked coming back from his trip to the East. Prince (or should I say King) Rilian was just able to greet his father before he passed. It is a great pity. Caspian was a good king. No doubt Rilian will be too; but there will be no telling what he will have to deal with; him being gone for ten years and not knowing the state of things. It should be a rough and trying time for awhile. We'll just have to make the best of it.
