AN: This is set shortly after The Horse and His Boy.

Dalek Invasion of Narnia, Part 1

"This cannot be tolerated," the Tisroc said to his Grand Vizier, Ahoshta Tarkhan. They had just come from watching Rabadash return to human form from that of a donkey. The Tisroc couldn't bring himself to care about his son- he had others, more worthy of the throne than one who would risk the Calormene Empire on an infatuation- but this was also a deep personal and national insult.

He strode into the inner chambers of the temple of Tash, and kneeled before the altar. "Oh great, inexorable Tash," he intoned, head bowed to avoid looking at the fearsome, ghastly visage of his god. "Hear the cry of your children. Avenge the insult offered to us and you. Smite the pale faced barbarians!"

There was a rumble, and a cry echoed through the temple.

"Ex-ter-min-ate!"

High King Peter, King Edmund and Queen Lucy of Narnia held a counsel of war on the edge of the field of battle. Their troops were lined up on the hill, and their foes in the valley below. Beams of light came from the horde, scoring the field.

"Dearest brothers, he know not how to shield from the plight these beings bring," Lucy fretted.

"Mayhap an envoy, to determine what they desire?" Edmund suggested doubtfully.

"'Twould be for naught, I fear," Peter replied. "They would not respect the truce."

"Oh, Aslan, what can we do?" Lucy sighed to the Lion watching from afar. "We cannot protect Narnia without your help."

As Lucy's prayer faded from the cool morning air, a distant growling filled the area, swelling. An immense golden form appeared between the lines. The ground split, a chasm appearing beneath the foe. The attacking legion fell, and the ground sealed up behind them.

The golden Lion turned to the monarchs. "This great evil is gone," he purred. "Do not fear. They will sleep in the Underlands, until the time comes for the prisoners of Time to awake."

Aslan vanished. Peter sighed. "Come, let us see what must be done, and set our country to right."

AN: Bit short, bit of an obvious way of getting rid of the problem. But hey, it works.

Also updating this week, in my regular haunts, Wayne's Boys: Family Ties sees a birthday celebration, and Wayne's Boys: Black and Red has a little bird trying to escape a tower.

Next week, back to plotting in Family Ties. Little Bird's Vengeance will see the recent battle's aftermath from another point of view. And in Dalek Invasion, sleepers awake.

Please leave a review. If you're scratching your head over something, feel free to PM me or leave a review. I'll reply either by PM or in next week's AN.

See you soon,
