Meanwhile, only one year in England has passed since the Pevensie children returned from Narnia. The children are waiting for a train when the station suddenly starts collapsing, and they are magically transported to Narnia. At first, they are overjoyed, but soon realize that much time has passed since their last visit, and their castle at Cair Paravel is in ruin.
In the Telmarine castle, the lords of the council learn that Prince Caspian is gone, and Miraz, using Trumpkin, who has been captured, persuades them to attack the Narnians to retrieve Caspian, secretly plotting to kill him instead. Lord Sopespian suspects Miraz's motives, and discusses his treasonous thoughts with his ally, General Glozelle.
The Pevensies save Trumpkin from being drowned by two Telmarines; he quickly realizes that the four children are the Kings and Queens of Old and they continue on together. On the way, Lucy glimpses Aslan and tries to convince the others that she has seen him, but only Edmund believes her.
