Chapter One: Dearest Sister


"Your Majesty!" said a voice from behind Cairi. She turned and saw one of the wolves, his name was Cadoc. His name fit him because when forced to battle, he was a fierce fighter.

"Yes, Cadoc?"

Cadoc looked at her with his yellow eyes. "There is a girl at the entrance. She wishes to see you. She says she knows you."

"Thank you Cadoc. I will see to it immediately." Cairi said. The wolf bowed his head respectfully and went off to find Maugrim. She headed down to the entrance chamber. Upon her arrival, she saw a girl with long brown hair and piercing green eyes. She could only be described as beautiful. There was a pained expression on her face, for pestering her was a little dwarf.

"Ginarrbrik! Leave her majesty alone!"

Ginarrbrik's eyes went wide. "Her… her majesty?"

Cairi's eyes narrowed. "Don't you know who this girl is?" Ginarrbrik shook his head.

"This is Addiena, daughter of Jadis and my sister. How did you come to meet her?" she asked icily.

"I found her wandering the woods, your majesty. My only thought was that she was a daughter of eve from the visions." Ginarrbrik explained.

Cairi sighed. "Very well then. Leave us, now, Ginarrbrik!"

Ginarrbrik bowed and scurried out of the room. Addiena looked at Cairi. She smiled and ran into her sister's embrace.

"Addie! Where have you been? I've been worried sick about you. You know mother doesn't like it when you leave the castle!" Cairi scolded her younger sister.

Addie hung her head. "I am sorry sister. I saw a little fawn from my window and I wanted to play with it. I shouldn't have left my chambers. I am truly sorry."

Cairi picked up her sister's chin. "I understand, Addie. Mother keeps you away in your room. Ginarrbrik had never even seen you before today. In the future, tell me when you are going, and I promise not to tell mother."

Addie beamed at her. "Do you really mean that?"

Cairi laughed. "Yes. I do. Now let's get you upstairs before mother comes."

Addie's eyes widened with fear. "Yes! Let's go!"


That night, the two sisters sat in Cairi's room as Cairi prepared herself for bed. Cairi sat at her mirror, brushing her hair out, while Addie sat on her bed.

"Cairi." said Addie. "What was Ginarrbrik talking about when he was talking about your visions?"

Cairi sat the brush down and sat down next to her sister. "Never tell mother that I told you this, okay?" Addie nodded. "You know that I have visions. Well, lately I've been having visions of four children. Two sons of Adam and two daughters of Eve. When I told mother about this she told be about a prophecy." Addie's eyes widened. "The prophecy is this, 'When Adam's flesh and Adam's bone sits in Cair Paravel in throne, the evil time will be over and done.'"

Addie giggled. "That doesn't really rhyme, you know."

Cairi rolled her eyes and laughed. "Well, your kind of missing the point. The point is that when the four children arrive, the will help us defeat mother and free Narnia!"

"Why do you want to defeat mother?" asked a horrified Addie.

Cairi wrapped her arms around her. "Addie, mother is not the true Queen of Narnia. A great lion named Aslan is the true king. And, well, he's been gone awhile, but he's back. Very soon, we will have to find them and bring them to Aslan to fight mother. Will you help me, sister?"

Addie stood up. "I will do anything it takes to free Narnia. Besides, then this blasted winter will be over. Did I ever tell you that I hate the winter?"

Her sister laughed. "Many times, Addie. Many times."

"What do they look like? How old are they?"

Cairi cocked her head. "Who?"

Addie laughed. "The children in your vision, silly!"

"Well, one boy looked a little older than me, a girl looked about my age, the other boy looked your age and the last girl looked like she was younger than you. That's all I can tell. Now, it's late. Off to bed with you!"


The next morning, Cairi walked out into the living space she shared with Addie. There were two bedrooms, one for each of them, a bathroom, a small room with chairs and a small library. She retrieved Addie's breakfast from the kitchens and brought them up to the sitting room. She placed it down on a table and knocked on Addie's door. Addie came out and said hi.

"I brought your breakfast. It's your favorite!"

Addie beamed at her. "Thanks Cairi."

All of the sudden, Cairi froze. Her vision blurred and she saw the younger girl and the younger boy she had seen previously. They were moving through the bushes.

"Wait till Peter hears about this, Ed! He and Su will love it!" said the younger girl.

"Sure, Lucy. Whatever you say…"

Suddenly, Cairi was back to the present. Addie was staring at her. "What's wrong? Are you having a vision?"

"Yes! Addie, they're here sooner than I had expected! All four of them will be here by tonight!"

Addie ran into her room and emerged with the bow and arrows Cairi had given her for protection. "Let's go help them!"

Cairi smiled at her sister's enthusiasm. "Thank you so much, Addie. There is no way I can do this by myself. Wait here, I'll be back in a few minutes!"

Cairi ran down to her mother's throne room and saw her mother's secret police dragging in a figure. It was a faun.

"Tumnus!" she yelled, running to her friend.

"I'm sorry, your majesty." he murmured.

Deep inside, Cairi was slightly happy. The prophecy had started.

"Mother! What is the meaning of this?" shrieked Cairi.

Jadis stared at her daughter. "He has been charged with high treason. The children from your vision have arrived. The youngest boy is bringing them here. Then, I will kill them all."

"I see." Cairi said. Then she turned on her heels and returned to Addie. "It's time. Let's go."
