Chapter One: Calling Them Back
"The Narnia council will now hear your plea."
The Macebreth soldier stepped into the room, message in hand. He unrolled the scroll and read:
"We, the kingdom of Macebreth, have patience no more for your attacks against our kingdom. Therefore, we challenge the country on Narnia to a war. Do you hereby accept?"
"Yes, we accept," the council answered.
"Be ready. You have three weeks."
"Is our army strong enough?" a member asked, once the soldier had left.
"It's strong enough," another answered, "but it's not powerful enough."
"We need the four back," another spoke. Murmurs spread throughout the room.
"But only two may return, Aslan, himself, said."
"We need all four if we hope to win."
"How would we even be able to bring them back?"
"I know how," Aslan said. No one noticed him coming into the room. "I can bring them all back."
"But you said-" another member tried debating.
"I know what I said," He returned. "Now, bring me the horn." A few fauns went to retrieve it. It was brought back, and placed in his mouth. When He blew into it, a long, low sound filled with magic filled the room.
Meanwhile, in an English classroom, Lucy Pevensie was at her desk taking notes. She suddenly had a strange feeling. She turned around and saw no one was pulling her. This feeling felt familiar, but she just couldn't remember it. She suddenly gasped. She remembered.
"Yes, Miss Pevensie?" her teacher asked. Everyone turned and looked at Lucy. She needed to think of something. She couldn't tell the truth. She was already mocked enough as it is.
"Um, I was wondering if...um... I could get a drink of water. My throat is really dry." She proceeded to cough, and clear her throat.
"Of course. Go ahead."
"Thank you." She quickly walked out. Once out of the room, she started running to Edmund's room (boys and girls were starting to be mixed at schools).
Finally, she arrived. She took a second to think, and then opened the door.
"Can I help you young lady?" Edmund's teacher asked.
"I need Edmund."
"For?" Her brother gave her a confused look.
"The secretary in the main office told me that Mum has dropped something off for him, and I'm supposed to bring him."
He still looked at her confused.
"We have to go," she emphasized.
He suddenly understood, and also started to feel the magic working on him as well.
"Oh, right. I had forgotten my lunch, so Mum must've brought it by," he defended.
"Alright, you may go. But hurry back."
"Thank you," they both replied.
Once he was out of the room, he and Lucy started running down the hall.
"I can't believe we're being called back. Now," Edmund commented.
"I know. And I had to lie. I'm terrible at lying."
Edmund laughed, "Yeah. I didn't even believe you. So, where do we have to go?"
"I don't know," Lucy answered. "Just someplace where no one will see us."
During all of this, on the other side of the school, something else was happening. Peter Pevensie was in class, trying to pay attention, and not fall asleep. All of a sudden, Aslan appeared and spoke to him, "High King Peter, you must return to Narnia. Find the others, and you will." Peter didn't know what to think or do.
"What just happened?" he whispered to himself.
"Is there a problem Mr. Pevensie?" his teacher asked.
"What? Oh, no. Um, may I be excused for a moment?"
"To where?"
"The bathroom."
"Alright. Go on."
"Thank you."
Once out, like his brother and sister, he ran down the hall, trying to find his siblings. After a minute, he ran into Susan.
"Su, I was just looking for you. And Ed and Lu"
"Same with me. Aslan-"
"Told me to," Peter finished.
"Why are we being called back? I thought we weren't to return."
"I don't know. Let's first find Edmund and Lucy, and then we'll find out."
"Alright. Let's go." They went and started running, trying to find their younger brother and sister. Soon after, they found them.
They all finally found a private area, When Peter and Susan joined hands with Edmund and Lucy, they also started to feel the magic. Then, they closed their eyes, and thought of Narnia. When they opened their eyes, they found themselves in the ruins of Cair Paravel.
