Opposite Forces
- Prologue -
Aslan surveyed the coast of Narnia. As High King of all Kings, it was his duty to check on Narnia. Frankly he didn't consider it as 'duty'. He loved doing it.
He surveyed the Kings and Queens in their castle in Cair Paravel and smiled indulgently. King Caspian was sitting in the garden with Queen Susan, watching the sunset. High King peter was duelling with King Edmund. Queen Lucy was watching her brothers' duel from her safe perch on a nearby tree branch. They were learning each day.
He swept his gaze to the villages. The villagers were safe and contented in their homes.
His gaze turned towards the forest dwellers. They were dancing around a bonfire and seemed to be having some kind of a party. He smiled again.
He was just about to look over the Border Mountains when his eyes froze on a certain figure, hurrying away, with a bundle hidden in his cloak. A deeply troubled figure, Aslan observed. He sighed.
It was Time.
Deep in the middle of the ocean, a lone boat was battling its way through a wild sea storm. Its occupant was struggling hard to keep the boat from toppling over.
A huge wave slammed into the boat and she lost all control.
The boat toppled over, and she along with everything else, was tossed into the sea.
The water was so cold…
She was soaked to the skin. Thank goodness she was a good swimmer…
With a huge effort she forced the boat up again.
She heaved herself into it. It was a miracle that she had been able to snag her backpack before it sank.
She closed her eyes and concentrated, gripping the tiller so hard her knuckles turned white.
The boat pitched and tossed over the turbulent sea, as lightning threatened to split the sky open. The storm loomed overhead like a huge monster as oversized waves crashed again and again into the boat.
Somebody help me…
With a supreme effort she concentrated hard and willed the boat on. It pitched and tossed straining to topple over again.
Another wave smashed into the boat and she gave up. Hugging her backpack, she clung hard to the tiller until another wave dragged her under… and the boat changed course all on its own.
