Prologue

There was a time when the fierce and beautiful land of Narnia was ruled by the Kings and Queens of Old, from the world on men. A legacy is known as the Golden Age throughout history. High King Peter the Magnificent. Queen Susan the Gentle. King Edmund the Just. And Queen Lucy the Valiant. They protected the kingdom, for fifteen years they prospered after the Pevensies defeated the White Witch alongside Aslan, the great lion.

The White Witch, Jadis was my mother. Once Queen of Charn and for a century ruler of Narnia in her reign of eternal winter. My name is Eirlys, known as the Frozen Princess who betrayed her flesh and blood for the lives of her people. During the Battle of Beruna, I saw nothing but death. Watching Narnians fighting each other for the sake of a prophecy that the deep magic foretold. Yet I couldn't succumb to such violence, let alone kill the boy who had infatuated me since the beginning of the catalyst that his young sister, Lucy, created. Edmund saw the innocence in me. He gazed past my cold exterior to find a remorseful soul.

So I forced my people back…or at least those faithful to thee.

I should have been dead on the Pevensies coronation. However, Aslan came on the night of the coronation and restore my magic. I am indebted to the Great Lion and have kept my end of the bargain. None of my subjects shall attack the kingdom of Narnia. For fifteen years I have the honor that contract. There were a several dark Narnians who refused and seek revenge. As punishment, I banished them from Stone Castle to fend for themselves. Even during those fifteen years, I determine to avoided confrontations with the Pevensies. Also though I'm considered the most wanted fugitive…we never crossed paths, except for Edmund in the Western March. The last time I saw Edmund was the day he and his family vanished.

Rumors spread of the White Stag has been seen in the Lantern Waste. According to legend, whoever caught the beast would have their wishes granted. This found my interest considering Jadis's reindeer had gone missing since the Battle of Beruna. All morning I seek the mythical beast until spotting it. I was near close to capturing the stag when seeing the Pevensies nearby. I hid out of sight until Edmund, and I crossed paths. This was our third encounter over the fifteen years…no words could be exchanged, not under the short period as Queen Susan approached. But the expression on his face was of surprise and wonder…

Several months after the hunt was the day the Pevensies vanished. All the Narnians of their kingdom came to Stone Castle accusing me of murdering them. My people fended them off as I tried to be the voice of reason for I am charged with harming or commit regicide on the Pevensies. A battle almost erupted until Aslan appeared explaining to all the Narnians that the Pevensies have returned to their world. So the question remained in who shall rule Narnia. The Minotaurs immediately elected me as the elite ruler, for I was Queen Eirlys, the rightful heir to the throne by the late Queen Jadis. The other Narnians object to having the White Witch's daughter to rule Narnia. Aslan literally had to roar for everyone's attention saying Narnia shall be governed by a Son of Adam or a Daughter of Eve. Therefore a human of Archenland shall rule. Although, I still remain ruler of the Western Wild.

However, with a new ruler of Lord Peridan reign, I could tell the human wasn't entirely a Son of Adam. The scent of a naiad of his ancestors of the Reign of Frank lingers in his blood. Over time and many kings and queens, until the lineage end with Queen Swanwhite II. She died without an heir, which lead to Narnia falling into anarchy. Centuries of confrontation and rivalries from the Northern Witches, the Giants, and other anarchists all over Narnia. Meanwhile, Calormenes and Archenlanders may have battled for control of Narnia reputation. Yet I continued to stand my ground in the Western Wilds, occasionally attending these ridicules gathering about power, government, and threats.

During one of these gatherings, I stared at my crystal orb to see the future. There have been several attempts of assassinations on me. So I check my orb to ensure my safety back to Stone Castle. Except I did not see a safe journey back home. Instead, I saw a titanic raven soaring over Narnia and consumed in iron and steel from the east.

By 1998 unknown ships sailed to Narnia hosting orange sails with a raven on it. They were humans who called themselves, Telmarines. They sieged Narnia with advanced weaponry, destroying Cair Paravel in a single week. All the Narnians took refuge at Stone Castle as refugees while several leaders, and I attempted to figure out to eliminate these invaders. Several years passed, a few battles won and lost yet the humans never crossed my boarders. Their advancement of machinery baffled everyone, from their crossbows to the deadly catapults. It wasn't until the fifth year when the Telmarines arrived outside of Stone Castle with their catapults. Their King, Caspian, first of his name was deliberate to destroy my fortress. But I was stubborn, using magic and armies to defeat these pirates.

Unfortunately, a week of battle the Telmarines destroyed Stone Castle leaving us Narnians nowhere else to go, but flee into the forest. I cast a spell on the Shuddering Woods. That any Telmarine who dare enters shall sense the darkness! Upon that year, I was called the Dark Witch. An omen of death to those who dare see me. For I shall kill those who dare harm the Narnians of old.

And Since then I have become their leader of the resistance. Our base being once the Stone Table where magic and time concealed it in the earth creating a fortress, now known as Aslan's How. All the Narnians hope that one day a true Son of Adam a Daughter of Eve shall come and help the Narnians of Old to reclaim their home. There were a few attempts, as I met one human, a Telmarine. Crown Prince Caspian IX, he wanted to restore Narnia. For years he and I spoke, along with our messenger Doctor Cornelius who was part dwarf.

Unfortunately, two years during King Caspian IX reign, he died. Murdered by his brother, Prince Miraz. Sadly Miraz will not claim the throne for his Nephew Caspian X was born, although his mother the late queen died from an infection. But I never gave up so easily and kept my promise to the late. Doctor Cornelius, my trusted friend watched and protected the crown prince and teach him about Narnia of Old. For one day, he may be king.

And restore Narnia to its righteous glory.

Before my magic drains.
