Chapter 4: A new prophesy to be found.


I didn't know what was going on, I had never had two flashbacks within two days of each other and I was getting nervous. I don't do nervous, so this was something to worry about.

I woke up in the library slumped next to the arm chair I found to be an excellent back rest but an annoying seat, a book was on the floor where it had slipped out of my hands. I picked it up and calmly closed it and put it on the side table.

I was mostly just relieved that no one had come in during my flashback, I could explain ending up on the floor of my room once, but ending up on the floor in the library unconscious, that would be a little bit more difficult to work out.

I stood up and swiped at the dust that clung to my skirt, I cleared my throat and left the room, the feeling of crying in my flashback threatening to come to the current time.


Lucy's POV

"As I was saying Lucy I've been doing some research."Mr. Tumnus was saying. The two of them were in a study waiting for Peter, Edmund, and Susan to join them for a small family meeting; they were so very busy lately that the four of us had started having family meetings so that we could catch up on little things that were going on. Mr. Tumnus was there to make sure everything stayed civil. "The genealogy of the first King and Queen of Narnia, Frank and Helen, they had three sons that went down a long ways before the White Witch destroyed of those that were sons of Adam and daughters of Eve, but it was rumored . . ."

"And just why were you doing this may I ask Mr. Tumnus."I interrupted with a bemused smile.

"Well to be fair Lucy there is not much else for me to do as a close friend to you and the other Kings and Queen."

"Oh, well why didn't you say you were bored, Mr Tumnus?"Edmund asked as he came in with my two older siblings. "I'm sure Su can find you something to do for our send off to Archenland."

"Yes I'm sure I can."Susan said going along with the game.

"Oh goodness me, I'm sure I'm quite alright."Mr. Tumnus said adamantly. "My research is taking me many places, I'll stick with that."

I smiled at him then looked at my older siblings. "So what's new?" I asked.

"You don't know anything of what's been going on?"Peter said teasing me. I knew about most of what went on in every corner of this castle. "I'm surprised at you Lu."

"Oh, ha ha, I was simply being courteous."I replied curtly.

"Oh, we know Lucy."Susan said gracefully seating herself in a chair. "But you know Pete, he can never resist the chance to tease."

"We all know Peter, Susan."Edmund said taking his seat, plopping down in it with no charm as he usually did. Same old Ed, well not quite but close enough.

"So how are those meetings with Archenland's ambassadors go Peter?"I asked, very curious I wanted to know if everything would be sure to be platonic when we went there in the coming week.

"Everything is alright Lucy, nothing will deter our coming voyage to Archenland."Peter said comforting me some. I always felt better when news came from Peter I don't know why, perhaps it has something to with the fact that he is the oldest and I am the youngest. We began to talk all together each of us laughing at different times when one of us said something funny.

"Lucy I do think you should hear what I have learned."Mr Tumnus interjected raising his voice over our talk of pleasantries . "I think all of you should hear it actually."

This made us all stop and look at him. Mr. Tumnus hardly ever raised his voice especially towards us, so in the rare times he did we all stopped to hear what he had to say.

"As I was saying, it was rumored that King Frank and Queen Helen had another child but it was never found out if the child survived or not, apparently there was a run in with the White Witch involved as well, it disappeared of the face of the earth no one heard of the child ever again after the child was supposed to be born."

"Forgive me if this seems rude Mr. Tumnus." Edmund said gently, putting his hand up. "But why is this important to the current day, when this all happened in the past."

"Because there was also a type of prophesy."Mr. Tumnus explained. I was really getting confused here now.

"What kind of prophesy?"Susan asked.

"This."Mr. Tumnus took an old rolled up piece of parchment up from the pile of books on the floor and laid it on the table. I leaned over along with my other siblings to see what was on the parchment, there were intricate designs in the middle of it and some words on the top of it that read:

The lost will be found

Old rulers become new

The witch will be unbound

The hope of Narnia

Will be what will destroy or preserve

For the actions of one

"What is it supposed to mean?"Peter asked in his Kingly voice. He has different voices where sometimes he sounds like the dignitary he is made out to be being the Magnificent king, and other times he sounds like the boy he is.

"I did a little more digging after I found this."He pulled out a fresher parchment that was recently used. "This prophesy was created after your prophesy."

"So it's yet to come."I said.

"Yes."Mr Tumnus said.

"But that doesn't mean that it will happen during the golden age."Edmund reasoned.

"It's the prophesy that is directly after yours."Mr. Tumnus said gravely. "I just think we should prepare."

"But we might not even be alive when the prophesy come about."Susan said. As usual she was right.

"And if it is?"Mr. Tumnus said.

We looked at each other non of us wanted to say the words we were thinking, we had just come into some newfound peace and the last thing at any of us wanted was for another beginning to a war to break out.

"Could this not wait until after our trip to Archenland?"Peter sighed looking depressed, and so slouched in his seat.

"We need to cut this off before it can unfold."

"What did it mean the hope of Narnia?"Edmund asked looking confused as we all were I suspect.

"From what I deducted, the rumored unknown child of the first king and queen will become the new hope of Narnia."

"But how can we know for fact if the child is rumored?"Susan asked matter-of-factly.

"My theory is that the White Witch had some dealings with the first king and queen, so they had to send there child away for it to be safe."

"Again not quite a fact of history."Susan said.

"I agree with Susan, we have nothing so far of fact other then the prophesy."Peter said.

"Peter what if it is really an immediate threat."Edmund said. "It really doesn't matter whether this prophesy comes to pass while we are here or if it come about when we are gone, we have a duty to Narnia to keep it safe, while we are here and even when we aren't."

I always admired Edmund for being able to make such profound speeches on the fly, he always knew exactly what should be said to bring around the proper course of action.

We all considered Edmund's words carefully, non of us sure of what to be done next.

"Oh, how I wish Aslan were here to explain this to us."I sighed sinking deeper into my chair.

"That reminds me, one thing confuses me about this whole thing."Susan spoke up. "The White witch died at the hands of Aslan so how can she come about in this prophesy."

"It could be a different witch, and from all that I have learned in my many years of living, is that darkness is always around not matter the light."Mr. Tumnus said.

We discussed what do to next for another hour at least, and in the end we all agreed too leave this new found knowledge alone and not tell anyone, not wanting to risk a panic, until after our trip to Archenland. Though I could tell that every one of us were all thinking about it, an nothing would keep it from our penetrating our thoughts.


(A/N) Okay I am pretty sure all of you have probably guessed some things about the plot by now, but you will have to wait and see if what you think is going on is what happens.

I will reveal nothing now, you will just have to keep reading.

Please Review, I love you all. :) ;)
