So here's my next chapter. I know its short…..oh well! You'll just have to wait. :)
Chapter 4
I sat down on a flat rock to think. Since I had found Guinevere's daughter, I had scoured the dome room, tunnel, and entrance to the cave for any clue the White Witch might have left as to how to save her. I'd had no such luck. Nothing was in the cave except for Guinevere's daughter and the glass column. I was beginning to panic. It was already dark, probably around nine o' clock. I had until dawn to figure out some way to save her. Think, Susan! Think! What could possibly be the key to waking her up? Let's see, the White Witch decided to have her die the dawn of the first day of the Fall Moon Festival. Since it only comes around every two hundred years, perhaps that has something to do with waking her up. Hmm, Fall Moon Festival, Fall Moon Festival. I thought carefully.
"That's it!" I cried. "I bet waking her up has something to do with the Fall Moon!"
"You are wise, Queen of Narnia," A deep, warm voice said. I spun around and there was Aslan!
"Aslan! What are you doing here?" I exclaimed as I ran over and hugged him.
"I have come to instruct you as to how to save Guinevere's daughter." He replied, smiling. "You have figured out the key to waking her up: the Fall Moon. To release her from being enchanted by the White Witch's dark magic, you must use the water from the pond outside and have the moon reflect in it. Shine the reflection on her and she will awaken. Here is a bowl to hold the water."
I took the bowl and followed him out through the tunnel and into the crisp night air. The Fall Moon shone bright and yellow as I went alongside the clear, sparkling pond and gently dipped the bowl into it. I carefully stood up and followed him back into the cave. As I walked along with him, I asked him a question.
"How am I going to get the reflection to shine on her? The hole in the top of the dome is right in the middle of the room but her glass column is at the side of the room."
When He didn't respond, I glanced back at Him. He was gone!
"Aslan? Where did you go?" I called. I realized that He probably wanted me to figure it out on my own. Great! How on earth was I going to do that? Think, Susan, think! Hmm…..maybe mirrors? I rummaged through my saddlebags until I found my small cosmetic mirror. I walked over to the opening in the dome and placed the bowl of water in the middle of the moonlit ground. Then I carefully took my mirror and held it above the bowl of water while slanting it towards Guinevere's daughter. Drat! The reflection bounced off the wall of the cave left of the column. I drew a patient breath and carefully repositioned the mirror so that it was almost vertical with the bowl, but just a bit slanted. The reflection missed the column by a few feet. I sighed and tried again, and again and again. Each time I would either just miss it or be totally off. I sat down on a rock and rested for a moment. I could tell by the way the sky was beginning to get lighter that dawn was on its way. I had to get moving. I stood up and walked over to the bowl, positioned my mirror and hoped that this time, I would get it right.
Please review!
