Caspian remembers his first glimpse of Peter, his shock at how young the fabled High King of Old appeared.
But he has grown to know Peter over the past weeks, and he can see the myth mixed with the man and with the boy — how Peter leads with both power and humility, how he fights fiercely to protect all of Narnia yet will yield when he knows accepting defeat is the only way to win.
Peter carries the weight of all of Narnia (past, present and future) on his shoulders which gives him an air of both arrogance and terror that Caspian could never imagine — but which he understands he will inherit when Peter places Rhindon in his hand, walks through a door in the air, stretching his arms wide as he disappears.
