Prologue: The Elements of Narnia

The magical world of Narnia is a place where fauns, centaurs, minotaurs roamed freely on her lands; where griffins and pegasus soared in her skies; where animals were gifted with the tongue of speech; where trees and flowers come to life and where mysterious creatures swam under her clear oceans.

Very much alike the other worlds out there in different realms, Narnia, too has her set of Elements, though, quite unlike the traditional ones known on Earth. And quite differently from those on Earth, there were six Elements in Narnia; Sky, Wood, Earth, Wind, Water and Fire, to which, six native creatures to Narnia were born with natural abilities to draw on powers of these Elements. There was another name for this group of creatures, and they are the Six Elementals.

Centaurs were the Sky Elementals, of which, they were born with the gift of astrology.

Fauns were the Wood Elementals; of which, they were born with the gift to communicate with the trees and plants of the woods.

Dwarfs were the Earth Elementals; of which, they were born with the ability to control the earth, allowing them the gift of mining.

Griffins were the Wind Elementals; of which, they were born with the ability to control the wind, allowing them to fly faster than any creatures of the skies.

Merpeople were the Water Elementals; of which, they were born with the ability to control the flow of water.

Last but not least, were the Elves, the Fire Elementals; of which, they were born with the ability to control the movements of the fire.

While all the creatures of the Elementals had the ability to draw on their natural gifts, only one creature of each race was blessed with power to create these Elements. The ability to create an Element was a power unlike any other forms of magic known to Narnia, and often depicted as being more powerful than any forms of magic ever to exist. And this group of six respective creatures was given the title, The Phoenix.

Since the Age of Winter, at Jadis the White Witch's tyrannical rule, the creatures of the elementals having being suppressed by her dark magic, swiftly lost their ability to draw onto the powers of the Elements. In fear of the Phoenixes overthrowing her throne, she spent a long decade to seek out these Phoenixes, with the sole purpose of killing them.

After a century, even the powers of Elementals became nothing more than a myth. Though these creatures continued to live and roam the lands of Narnia, the memories of their abilities were locked and forgotten under the influence of Jadis' spells, forgetting most of their abilities bestowed to them since the beginning of time.

Until, perhaps, only Aslan, the great King himself, remained the only one who remembered.


Author's Note:

This story was inspired after I read two awesome fanfictions of Chronicles of Narnia, namely:

When You Wish Upon A Star by herbieunloaded

The Chronicles of Narnia: Rise of the Cantricals by miss hawkins

Both these fanfics not only made me shake my head in awe at the character development and story plot, but left a whole load of inspiration spinning in my head. Within 3 days of starting this story, I've already written a good 6,000 words and the length enough for 4 chapters.

In any case, this story will be a re-write of the first movie (I have never read the original book, so please do not blame me for getting any facts wrong!), with an introduction of an original character tweaked into the original movie script and with some changes to the development of the movie script. I'm not going to re-write the entire movie into a fanfiction, so this story will only commence where the new character appeared. I'll try to keep to the original movie dialogue but do pardon me if I miss out here and there. It is extremely distracting to be listening to the movie while writing. =P

My favourite character from the movie-verse was and is Peter Penvesie, so with no surprise, this story will be Peter-centric, based mostly on his point of view and jumping occasionally to the new character's point of view.

Lastly, I do not own the characters or plot/movie script of the Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.

I do, however, own the idea of the Elementals, the Phoenixes and any upcoming original characters. (To be revealed soon)

Cheers!
