Disclaimer: I do not own anything in the world of Narnia; everything belongs to C. S. Lewis.

A/N: The idea for this series came from out of nowhere; honestly, it just popped into my mind on a school night right when I was about to get into bed. So I wouldn't lose any of the inspiration that had come to me, I quickly jotted down a few notes, and when I got home the next afternoon, I began work.

This short series will be an amalgamation of both the movie and book universe; I'm taking aspects from The Last Battle and including them, so if there are any details that are inaccurate, it's because I haven't read the book in almost three years.

If you are familiar with the Bible, you will notice that I've incorporated in this the prologue many of the expressions used in 1st Corinthians 13 verses 4-8. I've changed the wording up a bit, so it isn't exactly the same, but it seemed fitting to include something as beautiful as the true definition of love in this story.

If you are compelled to leave feedback on this chapter and any of the following ones, please feel free to (even if it's to criticize me) and enjoy!

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

1st Corinthians 3:13


Prologue: Aslan

When Aslan's thoughts turn to the four Pevensies, he is filled with many emotions, but none so profound as the awe inspiring, all powering love that radiates through the Great Lion's being at these kings and queens. It was preordained long ago, too long now for there to be an exact date, that they would be the ones to assist in the restoration of a peaceful Narnia; that they would be put upon the thrones at Cair Paravel and rule with the compassion and wisdom of their age. He has often silently observed them, watching them grow from the children he first met many ages ago into young adults, and he has seen the process repeat itself. And though Aslan knew who these four were and the men and women they would become, he is still fascinated by Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy in a way that makes him love them all the more.

It's a indescribable love, one that has no limitations and is strong enough even to overcome the darkness of sin; it is full of understanding, quick and ready to forgive, and rejoices in the goodness and truth of the heart; it is a constant love, one that always trusts and protects and hopes; a love that never fails. There is nothing on Earth and beyond that can contain the love Aslan feels for his beloved Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve, no matter what mistakes they make and what temptations snare them.

And he loves them all for different reasons.
