A/N Slight AU set at the end of The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe. Completely ignoring The Magicians Nephew.
As the festivities wore on into the night a lone figure in the distance watched over. He heard the tread of footsteps behind him but didn't turn. It was quite and peaceful here on the hills by the shore, the noise from the partying diminished by the distance. The trees to the right and behind him danced in the breeze and the stars glittered like diamonds in the night sky as the full moon paraded across it
It was on nights like this that a person could feel as though they were alone in the world. Were it not for the silent figure now stood beside them.
"Was it necessary?" The figure asked.
"They needed to know they could do it." Came the reply.
"But all those lives, all the losses."
"They needed to know that it would not always be good times and the bad ones can come with a terrible price. They needed to know they could trust each other."
"But to go to this extent Aslan?"
"Yes." Aslan sighed.
"Our agreement is fulfilled?"
"Yes your part is finally over." He chuckled.
"I can go home now?"
Aslan growled. "Yes Jadis, you are completely free to do what ever you want so long as you do it outside of Narnia."
"I was merely checking, there's no need to be like that. Anyway I think I'll return home for a few decades before going on holiday, somewhere warm. Hundred years of winter indeed, I hope you're happy by the way. I can still feel the chill in my bones. And that castle, brrr." Jadis grumbled as she rubbed her arms at the memory. Aslan chuckled, in all the time he had known her she had always found something to complain about.
"Just as you say Jadis."
"I do say and what's more I say I am never doing you a favour again. When you asked me to do this I had expected it to be a couple of decades, not a century."
"My apologies, but it was necessary." There was a moment of silence before.
"I'd best be going then. Mother will be having kittens with me being gone so long." A wistful expression ghosted across her face. "I almost wish I could stay and see how it turns out." She shook herself and smiled ruefully. "Well good luck with it."
She turned and started walking away. Seconds later she was disappearing across the eastern sea though she wasn't so far away she didn't hear the soft words.
"Good night my dearest sister and thank you."
