Chapter 1
The final return to Narnia
Peter, Edmund, Lucy, Professor Digory Kirke, Eustace Scrubb, Jill Pole and Polly Plummer sat together in the train compartment as it entered the tunnel. They were talking of Narnia and of thier adventures there whilst they journeyed up to the Professor's house for a luncheon together and to search for the rings that would return the youngest of them to Narnia.
When Digory had asked about the eldest Pevensie girl, Susan, Peter had been stern and uncharacteristically moody. "She's not interested anymore in anything other than nylons and lipstick" Peter had replied angrily. So the subject had quickly been changed to save from further tension among the cousins and their friends.
Upon entering the tunnel Lucy snuggled closer to Peter as another train whistle could be heard, she was afraid and when the lights flickered out and a thud was heard, throwing them forwards in their seats, Peter shielded Lucy with his frame Edmund too helped his sister, whilst Eustace protected Jill who was indeed grateful, and Digory wrapped his arms around Polly who buried her aged face into his shoulder. Suddenly they were rolling over together against the train wall and shuddering to a halt. All blacked out.
A day later Susan would read of the crash in a London newspaper under the headline "Northern Train Crash- All Lives Lost" only then would she realise she was now completely alone in the world and only then would she realise and remember where they had no doubt ended up and where she now wished she was with them. Aslan's Country and Narnia.
Peter found himself floating higher before hurtling to the ground like an owl hunting its prey in the grass. He saw Lucy beside him and reached out for her, taking her hand in his, holding it tightly. Peter turned when he saw Edmund to his other side and for the first time in a long time, Edmund reached out to hold his brother's other hand. Peter smiled and silently vowed to mock him later, but he knew why he had done it, he was terrified too.
Eustace and Jill were a little way off, Jill holding onto Eustace's hand tightly too for comfort and a feeling of safety and security and further up still, Digory and Polly were clasping hands and descending vertically, the wind pushing against them as they watched the children below them all fly horizontally like birds in the sky.
They all felt their momentum ease and Peter found himself splayed head first in the grass, Edmund landed next to him with an "oomph" as the air was expelled from his lungs and Lucy landed directly on top of Peter with an apologetic "sorry" as Peter's face was pushed further into the grass. Eustace and Jill landed in much the same way. The children were all stood on their feet clinging to one another as Digory and Polly descended through the air with a graceful stroll. They landed softly on thier feet a sigh gently leaving their mouths.
"Are you children alright?" Polly asked fussing over Jill and Lucy. They nodded as did the three boys.
"Where do you suppose we are?" Eustace, a reformed character asked his cousins, Digory and Polly.
"Lantern Waste." Lucy said and pointed to the Victorian lamp which glowed dimly in the early morning dawn or the late dusk, Lucy wasn't quite sure.
"We're in Narnia? If that's so, where are the trees?" Edmund asked.
"I don't know, but at least we'll be safe here. It's Narnia." Peter said simply. Before he met the young faces of Polly and Digory who had suddenly become youthful once again.
Digory smiled, "The magic of Narnia." He said quietly not quite believing he and Polly were back. Polly once again stood close to Digory- her knight in shining armour.
