Waning Light

by Livily

On the brink of day and night, sunsets provide renewal, change, happiness, wonder and every other element that makes the world beyond the Wardrobe so real. *A series of 100 word drabbles. Previously known as Narnian Lily

7. Waiting

The last of day's light spills across the dusty floorboards as Digory halts before the Spare Room. The shadowed Wardrobe beckons him, whispering of enchantment. He pauses before the intricately carved doors, uncovering memories hidden long ago. The doors creak when opened, and Digory tentatively steps inside.

For a moment, the Wardrobe is filled with frigid cold, and Digory allows himself one foolish hope. Then, the breeze stills, for it is not Digory who can end a 100-year winter. Digory covers the Wardrobe, leaving it to wait in obscurity until a little queen appears to strip it of this darkness.

AN: I like this chapter, though I feel the ending is shaky. It actually started out as Digory in the Wardrobe after the events of LWW, but I like it this way better.
