Setting: Narnia, sometime after The Horse and His Boy, Before Prince Caspian was King.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except a few characters I made up and the plot. Have fun!
One sunny, summer day in the land of Narnia, Princess Heileen decided to take her sister, Mary, for a walk.
"Where are we going, Heileen?" asked her sister, puzzled.
"To a place no Narnian has ever been before. Except me, of course," Heileen answered, glad that their mother had not objected to Heileen taking Mary, or even asking where they were going, as she usually did.
"Do we have to?" Mary asked sullenly.
"Now, Mary," Heileen chided her younger sister, "You promised Mother you wouldn't complain any more. And it's very important to keep your promises."
"I know, Heileen," Mary sighed,"So, where are we going?"
"Wait and see,"said the older girl.
Soon the girls arrived at their favorite place from history, the spot where Jadis - the White Witch - "planted" the lamp-post.
"Why are we here?" asked Mary.
"Well, you've never been here before, have you?" Heileen asked in mysterious voice.
"No, but this place really isn't that interesting, besides the fact that this is the spot where the world began and this is the only lamp-post in the entire country," Mary said, "And I thought that we were going somewhere interesting!"
"Mary, you're complaining again!" Heileen scolded
"Well, I can't help it if you're not going to take us somewhere better than as close to the Western Wilds as we're allowed to get!"
Just then a little red robin flew up beside them,"Don't quarrel, girls! You're almost there, Mary," the little bird said.
Heileen groaned, "Oh, Mr. Robin! It's supposed to be a surprise!"
Mary looked up from the plant she was studying (You would think she would be paying more attention to the robin talking, but they were in Narnia, and it is very common for animals to talk there.),"A surprise? Where?"
"Right this way," Heileen pushed through some undergrowth.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Mary screamed.
"Mary!" Heileen turned around.
"Someone's got my hair!" Mary screeched
Heileen laughed, "That's some scary branch-man you've got in your hair!"
"Not funny, Heileen!" Mary said indignantly.
"Come on, just a little farther!"Heileen called over her shoulder.
"Ew, ew, ew, ew," thought Mary.
Finally Heileen pushed through the last of the trees,"There it is."
"Wow..." Mary gasped, "What is it?"
"Can't you tell?" Heileen stared in awe at the huge boulder, "Everyone seems to have forgotten about this place, but I remember learning about it when I was little."
"Well, I don't! So, what is it?" Mary was itching to get closer.
"This is the one and only cave that Tumnus, the Faun, lived in at the time Queen Lucy entered Narnia," Heileen turned to her sister, "And we are the only people who know where to find it!"
"Well, you do anyway," Mary was doubtful, "How do you know it's his? It could be any Faun in Narnia's cave."
"Because, all the books say "Tumnus" in them; and the teacups have "Tumnus" inscribed on them; and the pipe that Queen Lucy told her grandchildren about is there, and when I played the music that was tucked in a book, titled 'The Myth of Man', there were shapes of Fauns dancing and things!"
"So?" Mary was getting bored, "Someone could've written the name, had the teacups inscribed, and lots of Fauns were in the charge of the White Witch, so they all probably had those pipes."
"But that's not all, Mary,"Heileen said in a grave voice, "I've been THERE."
"There? Where?"Mary was intrigued.
"There, as in, to... well... you know...there," Heileen explained.
"I don't get it. You've been inside the ...cave?"Mary was losing interest again.
"No. Ok, promise you won't leave...?" Mary nodded,"I've been to England. The place where the High King and his brother and sister are from."
Mary laughed, "Oh, I get it you've 'been there'. Like in a game. I want to play, too. For a second I thought you were being serious," she laughed,"Mother, I'm home!"
Sorry, it seems kinda childish, huh? Please review!
