Lirael At The End To a New Beginning
By:Anastasia Bateman
-Might want to read Garth Nix's Abhorsen Trilogy to understand this story.
The disreputable dog walked on the border of life and death for awhile, it was time to leave her friend, but she would be back later..
Lirael and Sam, Nick, Sabriel, Touchstone, the Clayrs, and the newly freed Mogget walked down the hillside of Ancelstierre. They all walked towards the fightened, but now safe southerners. Hedge, the dead, the Destroyer Oranis were now gone, vanquished.
Lirael felt relieved that it was now over, but what now? She thought, she was still sad about the disreputable dog, who was also Kibeth, she will never see her friend again, once her only friend. Sam was walking close behind her, along with Sabriel and the rest. Was she going to be able to go back to the Clayr's Glacier, where was she supposed to live? In the castle with her new sister, niece and Sam, or the Abhorsen's house?
Sabriel walked up next to Lirael, and placed a comforting arm on her sholder, "Its going to alright, it was her time to go, your not alone, you have us now, your family". Sabriel said.
Lirael thought to herself, Sabriel was right, she wasn't alone anymore, she thought about what seemed like centuries long ago when she was still living at the Clayr's glacier, she had been alone there, well at least she felt like it, she was different. Then she thought about when she summoned the dog, and how then she was her only friend. Then she came back to reality, they were walking towards the paperwings now. She came back to her former though, which one was she going to be in, the Clayrs, the Abhorsen's or the Royal Line's?
Her question was answered when Sam asked her to get into the Royal Line's paperwing, she was going to go to the castle in Belshire.
The three paperwings reached Belshire by evening, all got out to meet a cheerful crowed. Lirael, escorted by Sabriel went into the castle. Sam was behind helping Nick out of the paperwing.
Was she going to live here now Lirael wondered, when she went in.
