Chapter 2: Land of Narnia

"So this is it? This is the great lands itself. I might make some use of this place after all. What do you think?"

"This is the place for the heartless to roam free indeed"

"Yes but I sense a greater power here. Some high power that I must have! Listen up carefully, I know that Sora and his gang are here somewhere. You…I want you to finally eliminate him once and for all. There will be no room for mistakes…do I make myself clear?"

"Sora will not leave this world as long as I'm here!"

As the two figures watched above on a mountain top, two more figures cloaked in black and their faces hidden were far off in the lands was also watching over and contemplating.

"Yes…there are sources of power here to be had. I want you to find out more about this world while I go and summon more heartless to this world."

"Not a problem."

"So what you are telling me is that you three are from the other side of that wardrobe?" Peter asked the party. "Well we are from the other side of the wardrobe…but we are not from that world. We are here on another mission." Sora explained to Peter. When Peter had entered the room earlier, Sora had to tell them what was happening and why they were here. Peter couldn't understand what Lucy was talking about and thought that she was making all this up. Still…how could Peter when there is clearly three people that don't even look like they are from this world standing right in front of them. "Well Peter do you believe me? I wanna go tell Susan and Edmund this. Now maybe Edmund will finally believe me when I show him these three." Lucy left the room with excitement to go tell the others of who she brought back with them.

"Gawrsh, I hope we didn't cause any trouble for us being here." Goofy said. "No…you didn't do anything wrong. I suppose I should believe my own little sister. I mean, you guys don't look like you're from around here anyway so what else am I to believe? I'd like to come with you guys…if you really are from the other side of the wardrobe." Peter requested to Sora. While Peter was talking to Sora, Lucy came back with Edmund and Susan to show them what she brought back. Susan and Edmund entered the room slowly for they were looking at the party in awe and they couldn't believe what they were looking at. "Impossible. Are you really from the other side of the wardrobe!" Susan asked the party with great curiosity. "Yes…we are from the other side of the wardrobe" Sora said tiredly as he threw his arms behind his head and looked up into the ceiling. He was wondering why everyone was so amazed about him coming through the wardrobe.

"Hey…if all of you are wondering if we are real or not, then follow us back to through the wardrobe and you'll see." Sora said to everyone. Susan looked at Peter with a look like she couldn't believe what was happening. "Lucy…where's Mr. Tumnus you were talking about earlier today?" Edmund asked. "I couldn't bring him with me…but I'm sure he's still back at his home. I would like for all of you to come. Pleaseeeee come with me?" Lucy begged. Peter, Edmund and Susan looked at each other and contemplated about going with Lucy or not. "Well Edmund had already gone through before…so I guess it really must be true. Ok I'll go with you" Susan replied. "Well I'm certainly going if Susan is going" Peter said strongly. The party, Susan, Lucy, and Peter then stared at Edmund who seemed a little unsure. Feeling uneasy that everyone else was staring at him, he gave a weird look as he looked at everyone back. "All right all right, I go too." Edmund finally replied. So with that it was all settled, Susan, Peter, Edmund and Lucy decided to go through the wardrobe with Sora and the others.

Twenty minutes later, Peter and his siblings followed Sora through the wardrobe and entered the world of Narnia. As amazed as they were seeing Sora and his friends, they were just the same stepping into this new world. Lucy and Edmund who had already been here weren't surprised that much, they were watching Peter and Susan take in the scenery. "I can't believe this...it IS real. I'm sorry I doubted you earlier Lucy" Susan said out loud. "That's alright, some little children just don't know when to stop pretending" Lucy replied while she looked at Susan and Edmund smugly. Everyone was in the fur coats that were in the wardrobe before they left. Sora and the others led the way to the same area that had the big lamp post. "Hey Sora, what are we going to do with the others? I don't think they can come with us on our journey." Goofy whispered. "I'm not sure. They probably don't know about the kinds of heartless that roam in this area." Sora replied. "What about that Mr. Guy that Lucy was talking about earlier?" Donald suggested. "Yea…maybe we can start from there. Hey Lucy, you said you were going to take us to see that one guy right?" Sora asked. "Yes I did! Come on everyone this way!" Lucy said happily. Lucy led the way while Sora and Peter stuck close to her so she didn't wander off too far. While they plowed through the ankle high snow that this path led, two heartless appeared in front of everyone.

One Neoshadow and one Morning Star appeared and Sora's Keyblade shines in and battle begins as he jumps in for an air combo towards the Morning Star and Donald and Goofy concentrate with the Neoshadow. While the fighting occurs, Peter, Edmund, and Susan watch from afar as this is the first time they saw a heartless. Lucy having already seen a battle similar to this earlier, he clamps around Susan's waist as she didn't want to get hurt. Susan held her back and continued watching the fight in front of them. "So that's what a heartless looks like?" Peter said softly having the others hear him. "I saw ones that looked different earlier. These must be some of the many kinds Sora was talking about." Lucy said to the others. Still watching the onslaught of keyblade bashing, spell casting, and shield smashing, all were staring at one heartless and then a white flash just illuminates the entire area and the four just stood there with some of their hair standing on end. This was Donald casting Thundaga finishing off the Neoshadow. He does like to cast that spell…but hey…it's a nifty spell right? Sora can't blame him. The casting of Thundaga brings this battle to a quick end.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy walks back with the other group while they were still in shock with what they seen and what these three could do. Sora just gave the four a wide smile and threw one arm back scratching the back of his head with his eyes closed and gave a little giggle. "Tha…that was outstanding!" Peter said with amazement. "Yes, that was amazing. Is that what that…sword of yours can do?" Susan asked Sora. "It's a keyblade and this is my only weapon. Donald here uses a staff since he is a magician and Goofy uses a large shield since he is a knight." Sora explained. The four looked at Sora and his party with more amazement. It was like watching a suspenseful magic show unfolding in front of their eyes with lights and special effects everywhere. "Can I hold the keyblade Sora?" Peter requested. "Well you can hold it but…" Sora said in mid-sentence as he gave Peter his Sleeping Lion keyblade. Peter held it and felt the texture of the handling. He stared at the blade itself and moved it around with his wrist trying to get a feel for it. To him, it appeared like the blade part itself was at least twenty five inches in length not counting handle and cross-guard. Before he could get too much into the feel of the keyblade, it instantly disappeared in a glow of light from his hands back to Sora's. "Huh…what happened?" Peter asked in confusion. "…but the keyblade comes back to me as I am the chosen wielder." Sora explained. "Ohh I see. Well in that case, you must be pretty reliable then." Peter said with a smirk. "MUST BE!" Sora shouted in surprise. Susan, Edmund, Lucy, Donald, and goofy all laughed from that remark.

Continuing from where they left off, the parties march along the freshly fallen snow to the trail that led to Mr. Tumnus's home. While they were walking, everyone heard the sound of hooves beating along the snow. Everyone stopped in their tracks to observe more of this ambient sound coming from somewhere in the woods. The sounds reverberated throughout the forest so it was hard to tell exactly where it was coming from so everyone looked around to try to trace the sound. Edmund looked behind him and saw a blurry moving object coming his way. "Hey it's coming from behind us." Edmund said to everyone else. Sora turned around too and saw six reindeer approach them with good speed. Soon enough, the sleigh passes everyone and shouts of "yah!" were heard from the sleigh. Then everyone noticed that sleigh was slowing down quickly then it came to a halt. Edmund, knowing who it was riding in the seats, was glad that she came back since she said that he should bring everyone to Narnia.

When the sleigh came to a complete stop, the sleigh driver looked behind him to see what he had passed by. He jumped out and he carefully approached everyone. He saw that Edmund was there with this large group and he remembered almost killing him until the queen herself had inadvertently stopped him. "Your majesty it's that kid…Edmund, son of Adam. He brought many others with him." He spoke out loud with a gruff voice. As soon as the queen heard what the driver said, she stood up and slowly came out of the sleigh and looked at the group. She had a look on her face like she was seeing ghosts, not frightened…but instead her eyelids were drawn up so she was looking at everyone in surprise. "Edmund…son of Adam…you have returned. And you did bring the others. I must say, excellent work son of Adam." The Queen commended Edmund. "Son of Adam…well why doesn't she just call him Edmund?" Sora whispered to Goofy and Donald. They just shrugged their shoulders as they didn't know anymore than Sora did.

"Well…I certainly didn't expect you to bring everyone here so soon." The Queen commented. As she was observing the other three that Edmund mentioned about, her attention was brought to the other three that seemed…out of place. "Who are you three!" The Queen spoke as she scrunched her eyebrows and raised her head up slightly. Sora felt something ominous about this lady. Like something about her also felt cold…not just the way she looked but rather something…deeper. Sora didn't think too much about it and neither did Donald or Goofy but they too felt something about the Queen that didn't feel right. "I'm Sora, this is Donald and this is Goofy" Sora introduced to the Queen. "And you are?" Sora spoke to the Queen with a bad mouth. The Queen flinched a bit from the attitude that she picked up from Sora's voice. "How dare you speak to me like that. I am the Queen of Narnia. You show me the proper respect young man!" she spoke sternly to Sora. Sora not expecting her to really be a queen, he looked down feeling a little guilt to how he just spoke to her. "I'm sorry your majesty." Sora said while looking down to the snow. Although he apologized, he still felt something bad about her. So he really didn't mean it. The Queen continued to look at Sora then to Donald and Goofy.

"Are all of you off to go see someone?" The Queen asked the group. "Yes your majesty, we are off to see Mr. Tumnus." Lucy said excitingly. "Mr. Tumnus eh? I hope he's…doing well." The Queen said. After The Queen had replied like that to the group, Edmund also felt something angst about her. He kept looking at her eyes and although he saw jewels of emerald which portrayed a kind of beauty that she brought out, everything else seemed cold…chilling as her pale snow white skin and overwhelming as her height. He and Sora both felt something indeed and although neither said anything, they just kept a quiet vigil as she spoke. The Queen gave one last look at everyone, remembering all of what they look like…especially Sora and then she gave a smile. If her appearance wasn't chilling enough, that smile definitely was. "Well…good luck on your journey everyone. Oh and Edmund. When all of you get the chance…please…come see me at my castle." She said to everyone. After saying that, she paused for a moment then quickly turned around and walked back to her sleigh. "Let's go Ginarrbrik!" she yelled out. The sleigh driver also gave one last look and then grunted his way back to the sleigh. Then seconds later, he drove off into another path of the snow covered woods.

The group looked at each other pondering about the Queen. Sora had a look of suspicion, like he didn't like the Queen. "Did anyone sense anything…cold about her? Sora asked everyone. Edmund wanted to reply, but he didn't. He instead just lowered his head. "She…looked pretty…but maybe it was her eyes that looked cold." Susan replied. Sora looked back at Donald and Goofy and they too were in agreement of what Susan said. "Well…I have the feeling that this won't be the only time we see her again. I mean if she's really the queen of this place…then she could be anywhere." Sora said. "Maybe we shouldn't worry about her right now. Come on, let's go see Mr. Tumnus." Peter suggested. The parties agreed and they continued the trail they were going to follow before the queen came by. Lucy still leading the way with Sora and Peter close behind; they came across a hill that was part of the path. Everyone walked uphill cautiously and around the corner of the hill was large rock structures and around that was Mr. Tumnus's alcove. Lucy stopped when she saw that the front door was smashed down and it looked like someone did that by force. Sora and the others looked at that same door she was looking at and took notice that the door was ruined. Lucy gasped as she ran up to the door to go inside fearing that something awful may have happened to Mr. Tumnus. The others quickly followed behind and when Lucy entered first she was right, something did happen.

As everyone went inside the now ransacked and wrecked alcove, Lucy and the others began looking all around seeing nothing but broken glass and splintered wood. Fragments of items scattered across the floor, tables overturned, and pottery smashed all about. Lucy could not believe what she was seeing and she wondered who could have done this. Sora looking on the ground watching where he was stepping felt bad that he could not have been here to stop this from happening. "Looks like someone came through here trying to find something" Donald commented as he moved broken glass aside with his webbed feet. While everyone slowly walked around staring at the destruction, Peter went to a part of the wall where he noticed a note hanging from a nail and he pulled it off and looked at everyone so they notice that he was holding a note. Peter read the note out loud:

"The Faun Tumnus is hereby with charged High Treason against Her Imperial Majesty, Jadis, Queen of Narnia for comforting her enemies and fraternizing with humans. Signed Maugrim, Captain of the Secret Police. Long live the Queen.

"That's not good…we should get out of here and return back to the wardrobe. Get back to our world." Susan said with worry. Sora, Donald, and Goofy didn't know what to do about this situation. He was about to say something when he had heard something outside. While the others were arguing about what to do, Sora went outside to investigate the sound he had just heard. Donald and Goofy notice that Sora was leaving the alcove and turned around and looked at him and Sora quietly says to them, "You two stay here, I'll be right back." Sora left the alcove and walked outside some and looked around to find out if anybody was out there. He looked to his right where everyone came around the corner from and saw a piece of something move past the rock formations. Sora quickly took notice of this and ran after it going around the same corner from whence the group came. Sora came around the corner but saw nothing but the footprints everyone left behind and further, the trail and hooves of the sleigh that the queen rode on. He heard something rustle out from above him and he quickly looked up and then turned around and there he saw Axel standing right behind him.

Axel smiled at Sora as he overshadowed him and put his hands on his waist. Sora quickly backed away and his keyblade appeared and he dug his feet into the ground to ready an attack at Axel. "Hey now, what kind of greeting is that? You can't even at least say hello to me?" Axel said as he drew his arms out while talking to Sora. "What are you doing here and what are you up to!" Sora said with a stern voice. Not liking the fact that an Organization member was on these lands, he knew that something about this world was not going to bode very well. "Ha-ha-ha, relax Sora! Put the keyblade away, I'm not here to terminate you but rather…see how ya doing." Axel explained. "Why I'm sure you are here for a reason right? And I'm pretty sure that I'm here for a reason too…but it's not to fight. You believe me right Sora?" Sora just looked at him coldly, ever since he found out that he took Kairi away from him, he's been feeling very resentful toward Axel. There Axel stood tall with his spiky blood red hair that went down on his neck, a jet black hooded coat that showed no skin and could shroud the very image of his face to show no identity. Normally Axel carries a weapon consisting of two Chakrams, red and white Chakram that also symbolizes his element of fire. He wasn't carrying them now, so Sora took notice on that and his guard weakened.

"That's better, see I mean no harm." Axel said as he leaned against a tree while looking at Sora. "Now I am here to tell you…" Axel said in mid-sentence then he looked around and behind him to make sure no one was listening. "…something is going to happen here Sora and I can't fully tell you on what that is. You are going to have to venture forth on your journey to find out what's happening here." Axel explained. "Why are you telling me this Axel, aren't you part of the Organization!" Sora replied angrily. "That is for you to ponder Sora but let me answer that for you. Technically, yes I am." Axel replied back with a smile. "What do you mean technically?" Sora asked. Axel slowly walked around Sora with a smile after he asked that. "Again Sora…you have a lot of pondering to do. Remember what I said though. Something bad will happen here on this world and it is you who will find that out. Ok? Got it memorized?" Axel said smartly as he tapped his head with his finger. He slowly backed away and then faded out in a black aura. Sora just stood there wondering what had just transpired and more importantly what was this big thing that was going to happen. Was this a single event that will happen all at once…or a series of events? Like Axel said he thought to himself, he had a lot of pondering to do. Sora's keyblade disappeared and he slowly walked back to Mr. Tumnus's alcove to meet up with the others.

When Sora came around the corner, he saw Goofy and Donald and all the others watching a beaver walk off in the distance. Goofy and Donald signaled to Sora to come here and Sora ran over. "Hey guys, what's going on?" Sora asked with a trying cheer. "That beaver just spoke and he told us to follow him. I didn't know there were talking animals in this world." Goofy said. "Where did you go anyway?" Donald interrupted to Sora. "Oh…I thought I heard something…but it was nothing." Sora replied as he didn't want to cause further worry while Peter, Edmund, Susan and Lucy were here. They didn't know about Organization XIII and now wouldn't be a good time to tell them either. "Hey Sora come on, that beaver wants us to follow him." Peter shouted out. Sora acknowledged him and followed the rest of the group. Sora had a lot of thinking to do just like Axel said…but of what? His mind was full of Kairi, Riku, Organization XIII, King Mickey…out of them all; he really wanted to see Kairi and Riku. He had a feeling that he was close but yet so far into solving this mystery of what Axel did with them. Sora really did have a lot of thinking to do.
