Sorry for taking so long! My car broke down yesterday and I'm sick today. I'll try and make it up to you guys, I promise! Thank you for all the visitors from all those countries. Knowing that my story has already reached that far is astounding! Thank you for the support, so I will try and make it up to you all. I do not own Narnia, only my OCs. Please R&R, and see you at the end!
It had taken decades for Wildfire and Whirlpool to master the ability to shapeshift, but they had finally gotten to the point of shifting into humans with hardly a thought. Currently, they were exercising they're superhuman strengths: smashing boulders, throwing trees, and practicing with human weapons at highly deadly speed.
Bartholomew found that he prefered two-handed swords while Samantha prefered bows. They were in the midst of a mock battle when Aslan approached. "Change back. Quickly. I have a task for you." Started, the two changed back into their lion forms, chasing after Aslan as he bounded away. He ran swiftly, avoiding fallen trees and leaping gullies. Wildfire and Whirlpool tried their best to keep up, their shorter legs barely managing.
Suddenly, they found themselves on the beach leading up to the wave. Whirlpool slid to a stop, Wildfire crashing into him. Ahead of them was the wave, but it was frozen solid.
"Aslan...what happened?" Wildfire whispered, untangling herself from Whirlpool.
"Queen Jadis. Though she is no queen by my standards." Aslan began. "I have sent a prophecy out into Narnia, and I need you both to go out and protect the prophecy." The great cat sighed. "It was not my intent to send you out for another hundred years or so. You both play great parts in my prophecy. Come, let me show you to your ship." He flicked his tail towards the small ship that rested on the beach just a few yards from the wave.
"Aslan, how will we get through the wave?" Whirlpool inquired, while Wildfire turned back into Samantha.
"I will make a path. Turn back to human, and climb aboard." The great lion responded. The younger male obeyed, running after Samantha as she climbed up the ladder on the side.
Aslan stood at the bow. "Know this! A Warrior and a Fighter now will enter Narnia, bringing peace. If one should fall to the darkness, all could be lost. However, only one is needed to bring justice in the end."
Sam and Bart gave each other quizzical looks, missing how Aslan managed to create a hole in the wall of ice. "Your ship as a blade to slice through the ice, and it is enchanted to take you where you wish." Aslan breathed on the ship and the single sail snapped forward, tugged by an invisible wind. "I suggest starting with the mainland! See what you can do!" Aslan roared, watching them sail off.
Sam stood at the bow, staring out at the frosty world ahead.
"It's strange, leaving Aslan's Country after so many years." Bart said, coming forward to stand beside her.
"What do you think he meant? He said there's a prophecy out there, but I'm almost positive he didn't give us the same one." Sam responded.
"Well, whatever it meant, we must protect them both." Bart declared, walking around the boat, getting a feel for it.
But who's the Warrior and who's the Fighter?
That took a while, and I am sorry. R&R, and see you all next chapter!
