1. Prologue

I could see the light of Aslan's country in the distance and the Great Lion himself as I took my last shuddering breath. All my pain and injuries disappearing as I lost my human body. I stood next to Aslan and looked back at Peter who sat there shaking my body, sobbing. My heart broke watching him but there was nothing I could do at this point.

I was dead.

Peter would have to learn how to get along without me by his side helping him rule Narnia with Susan and Lucy. He would be alone in protecting Susan and Lucy now.

My gaze shifted to the beautiful girl sitting in the chair next to my bed. My Aurora, my love, my wife. She looked so broken and lost. I wanted nothing more than to go to her and wrap her in my arms and make her feel happy again. It destroyed me knowing that I would not be able to. I also knew that I would never be able to meet my child that Aurora was pregnant with. My child was going to be raised fatherless and that made me the most upset. I wanted to be there to witness their first step, their first word, their first love, and any other firsts they would have. I wanted to be able to be at their wedding and be a part of the happiest day of my child's life but I couldn't be.

I looked at Aslan now, hoping that he would know what I wish and what I was asking without me having to say it.

Aslan shook his great head answering my silent request. "Now is not the time for that, my child. For now you must let them learn to live without you."

Well there is chapter one. Review and let me know what you think of the story so far. Will try to update this at least once a week depending on my school/work schedule. Thanks for reading!
