| - | [[File:3787.jpg|left]]Forty years after sailing to the world's end, King Caspian is mourning the death of his Queen and the disappearance of his son, Prince [[Rilian]]. When Lord [[Drinian]] comes to him and says he feels responsible for Rilian's disappearance, Caspian raises an axe to kill him. But then he throws it away and says, "I have lost my queen and my son: shall I lose my friend also?" Ten years later, seeking Aslan's advice before his death, Caspian sets out on a voyage to the Lone Islands, where it was rumored that the great Lion had been recently sighted. Caspian has not sailed far when Aslan appears to him and tells him that his long-lost son has been rescued and is awaiting him in Narnia. Caspian sails back to Narnia and sees his son one last time. Then his hand falls, and in the sight of all Narnia, King Caspian the tenth dies. But Eustace and Jill see him again as a young boy in Aslan's Country. Then, [[Aslan]] grants Caspian something he has always wanted: a glimpse of our world, Earth. | + | [[File:3787.jpg|left]]Forty years after sailing to the world's end, King Caspian is mourning the death of his [[Ramandu's Daughter|Queen]] and the disappearance of his son, Prince [[Rilian]].

| + | ==About Caspian== | ||
| + | When we first meet Caspian in ''Prince Caspian'', he is more interested in the old days and meeting the Old Narnians than he is in becoming king. When he becomes king, he does not feel "sufficient to take up the Kingship of Narnia." But by ''The Voyage of the Dawn Treader'', Caspian has become more confident as he successfully tricks Governor [[Gumpas]] into believing he had brought more ships. He also abolishes the slave trade there. On Dragon Island, after some discussion, Caspian decides to meet the dragon face-to-face rather than hide. He makes a similar decision on the Island of the Duffers. Throughout the voyage, Caspian keeps the Dawn Treader pointed east in pursuit of their quest, even when some question if there were any more islands ahead. | ||
