Chapter 6: Mr. and Mrs. Beaver and the Prophecies
When we arrived at Mr. Tumnus' house the door was hanging off its hinges. We all ran inside and what I saw shocked me. The shelves and books were all over the floor, photos had fallen down and there were small traces of blood and fur everywhere, but what shocked me most were the huge paw prints and claw marks.
Peter found a letter nailed to the wall (which surprised me because animals with claws can't nail things onto walls) which he read aloud:
"The faun Tumnus is hereby charged with High Treason,"
He glanced at Susan, and then continued reading,
"Against Her Imperial Majesty, Jadis, Queen of Narnia, for comforting her enemies and fraternizing with humans. Signed Maugrim, Captain of the Secret Police. Long live the Queen."
"Ok, now we really should go back." Said Susan.
"But we have to help him!" protested Lucy.
"I don't think there's much we can do." I said, sadly.
"We could call the police." Said Peter.
"These are the police!" replied Susan.
Just then, I heard a 'psst' sound from outside on a tree. But the only thing on the tree was a bird.
"Did that bird just 'psst' us?" Susan asked. We followed it outside, but then it hopped to a tree. We followed it again, but then it walked to another tree.
"I think it wants us to follow it." I said.
Each time we followed, it hopped to another tree, until finally it flew away when there was a rustling sound coming from behind a rock. We all stood behind Peter, all of us holding him tightly, except Edmund. I accidentally grabbed his hand. His cheeks were a fiery red; they looked like they could melt the snow and ice around us.
I held on to Lucy, because she needed someone to hug. The rustling sound continued until…
A furry animal came out from behind the rock that I recognized as a beaver. I let go of Peter's hand.
"It's just a beaver." said Susan. Well, DUH!
"Here boy, here boy…" Peter said repeatedly, as he held out his hand and clicked his tongue.
Surprisingly, the beaver said,
"Well, I ain't gonna smell it if that's what you want."
I and Susan gasped the color from Edmund's face drained and Peter returned to his red faced state.
Lucy just giggled until he said,
"Lucy Pevensie?" Her face changed into a state of shock then confusion as he produced a handkerchief from nowhere. He gave it to Lucy.
"That's the hanky I gave to Mr. –"Lucy began but the beaver cut her off,
"-Tumnus. He got it to me just before they took him."
"Is he all right?' asked Lucy.
"Further in." replied the beaver, as he disappeared behind the rock again. I took about 2 steps before Peter grabbed my arm and tried to back. I shook him off quite easily and continued walking. I didn't know why, I didn't know how, but I would find out soon enough…
I stood behind the rock and thought about the lion and the castle.
"Are you ok?" asked the beaver.
"Yes, I'm fine. Why do you ask?" I replied.
"You seemed… distant." Answered the beaver, smiling for some reason.
I watched the Pevensies argue about whether they should follow the beaver or not. When they finally agreed we walked silently through the forest, apart from when I asked the beaver what his name was.
"Mr. Beaver," he replied, "My wife is Mrs. Beaver."
Then it was silent again, apart from the occasional "not long now" and "almost there".
When we arrived at Mr. Beaver's dam, I gasped. It was lovely. The scenery was wonderful.
"It's lovely!" said Lu.
"Oh, it's merely a trifle." Replied Mr. Beaver, modestly, but he was smiling.
We walked over to the dam. With every step it became smaller and smaller, until, when we reached it, even Lucy towered over it.
A female beaver came out of the dam, saying,
"Beaver, is that you? I've been worried sick1 if I find you've been out with badger again I'll…' She trailed off when she saw us.
"Oh, those aren't badgers…" she exclaimed softly, but then returned to shouting again,"I never thought I'd live to see this day."
We all smiled at her, even Edmund.
"Beaver, you couldn't have given me ten minutes warning?!" the female beaver said.
"I'd have given you a week I it would have helped!" replied her husband.
We all laughed softly.
"Come on inside and we'll see if we can give you some food, and some civilized company." She glanced at Mr. Beaver and he chuckled.
We all went inside to find some lovely little furniture. Me and Susan helped Mrs. Beaver make tea while the others sat down and talked in the sitting area. When we had finished we called the others to the dining table. Peter was first to speak.
"Isn't there anything we can do to help Mr. Tumnus?"
"They'll have taken him to the Witch's castle. You know what they say. There's few that go through those gates that come out again." Mr. Beaver said, solemnly.
We all looked at each other.
"Fish 'n' chips?!" said Mrs. Beaver, hurriedly, as she laid some fish and chips on the table.
"But there is hope, dear." Mrs. Beaver said to Lucy, as she put a hand on her shoulder.
Mr. Beaver spat out his drink and said joyfully,
"Oh, yeah! There's a right lot more than hope!"
He put down his drink (or what was left of it) and said quietly,
"Aslan is on the move."
I smiled when he said this. I got that warm feeling you get when you wake up on Christmas morning knowing there are lots of presents waiting for you underneath your Christmas tree.
"Who's Aslan?" asked Edmund.
Mr. Beaver just laughed, but when he realized that Ed was serious he stopped laughing and explained that Aslan was the True king of Narnia and he was waiting for us at the Stone Table.
"Waiting for us?" asked Lucy.
"You're bloomin' joking! They don't even know about the Prophecies!" shouted Mr. Beaver, getting very annoyed.
"Look, Aslan's return, Tumnus' arrest, the secret police, it's all happening because of you!"
"You're blaming us?!" asked Susan.
"No! Not blaming. Thanking you." Replied Mrs. Beaver, calmly.
Mr. Beaver then told of a prophecy.
"When Adam's flesh and Adam's bone, sits at Cair Paravel in throne, the evil time will be over and done."
"You know that doesn't really rhyme." Exclaimed Susan.
"You're kinda missing the point!" said Mr. Beaver, who was very frustrated now. Mrs. Beaver put a hand on her husband's shoulder and said, happily,
"It has long been foretold that two Sons of Adam and two Daughters of Eve will defeat the White Witch and restore peace to Narnia."
"But there are five of us." I said.
"You're not human," said Mrs. Beaver, as if it was a good thing,
"Well, only half human."
"What do you mean?" I asked, puzzled. Everyone was staring at me. I felt like an alien.
"L'Étoile qui a sauvé Narnia." She replied.
"Why is it in French?" I asked.
"I don't know. No one knows."
"What does it even mean?" asked Lucy.
"The Star who saved Narnia. You are supposed to help the future Kings and Queens of Narnia to defeat the White Witch." Mrs. Beaver replied, softly.
"Your father came to Narnia through one of the many doorways linking us to your world." Mrs. Beaver began, "Louisiana Maria Beatica Lisa, a Narnian Star, fell from the sky just as your father arrived in Narnia. That star was your mother. They fell in love and traveled across oceans to find Aslan, so he could marry them. Aslan saw that they were in love and crowned your mother Keeper of the Elements because she had sacrificed herself for love. He gave her a pendant made of pure Narnian gold. The very same one you are wearing now." She pointed to my pendant.
I took it off and opened it. She continued,
"Those three jewels represent different elements that you can control. Red is for fire, dark blue is for water and green is for earth. The one that is missing is for ice."
I looked at the pendant again. There really was one that was missing, I just hadn't noticed it.
"Wait, you said my mother sacrificed herself. She is still alive."
"Aslan brought her back to life because of what she did and who she was going to be."
"You're not saying you believe all this?" asked Peter.
I glanced at him with a look that made him shut up for good.
"Continue." I said.
"The flower on the front of your pendant symbolizes the two extra powers you have. You can read people's minds and can see into the future. 'Narnia' symbolizes half of who you are. 'Aslan' symbolizes who that necklace came from. No other star has a pendant like yours. It is a one of a kind pendant. Because you are half Narnian Star you can run almost as fast as the speed of light, you are 50 times as strong as the average human being, you can fly higher than the tree tops but not higher than the clouds and you can climb as high as the trees. Your hair also glows when you are happy."
"Wow. My prophecy is long." I said.
The Pevensies looked at me then back at the beavers.
"You think we're the ones to do all of this?" asked Peter.
"Well you'd better be 'cause Aslan's already fitted out your army!" said Mr. Beaver.
"Our army!" Lucy said in surprise.
"We got sent away so we wouldn't get caught up in a war." I said.
"Thank you for your hospitality but we really must be going." Said Susan.
"Yes. Come on Ed." Peter turned around. "Ed?"
"I'm gonna kill him." Peter said angrily.
"You may not have to. Has Edmund ever been to Narnia before?" asked Mr. Beaver.
"Yes."
"Then he must have gone to the Witch's."
