Chapter 10 Coronation
Aslan was walking with the heirs to Narnia towards the throne. There were centaur knightly holding swords formally up and the children felt like this was all like a dream. They stopped when they arrived at the first step of the staircase. Only Aslan continued walking up and stood in front of the thrones and welcomed everybody to the coronation. The children were so nervous and could only look forward all the time. Behind the thrones there was a big window that had been painted. Kind of like those windows you saw in church. It showed the picture of the four rulers of Narnia.
"My dear people it has been a great loss for us to lose those precious to us in the battle against the witch. But they are now in a better place and are watching over us. But today people we shall not shed any tears of sorrows but joy for today is the day when we crown the rulers of Narnia who will rule the golden age with wisdom and care" He made a gesture for the children to step up.
"To the great western wood I give you king Edmund the Just" the one carrying the crowns stepped forward and another put the crown on his head. It was made of silver and mithril and was pointy at the tops. On the inside of his crown his name stood and also his titles. The Just, The great western wood, The Wise and the great warrior with the spear.
"To the radiant southern sun, queen Susan the Gentle" they put a crown that looked more like a tiara. It was made of pure gold and had beautiful roses with thorns, it didn't hurt though. like Edmund's there was words engraved. The Gentle, The radiant southern sun, The graceful, the gentle warrior with the bow and arrow.
"To the glistening eastern sea, queen Lucy the Valiant" She bowed as mr. Tumnus put her crown that was made of silver and had flowers embedded on it with small wings at back. On it her titles were The Valiant, The glistening sea, Hope, The great magician of the golden age.
"To the clear Northern sky I give you High king Peter the Magnificent". Peter bowed as the faun put his crown mad of pure gold and had seven small wings around the crown. As for his titles which were The Magnificent, The High king of Narnia, the clear northern sky, the guardian and the wielder of Rhindon.
When everyone had gotten their crowns Aslan turned to the king and queens and said "Once a king and queen of Narnia, always a king and queen of Narnia. May your wisdom raise us as long as the stars reign in the heavens".
Then he turned and said along with everyone in Cair Paravel and in all of Narnia
"Long live king Peter, long live queen Susan, long live king Edmund and long live queen Lucy!"
As everyone cried tears of joy for the prophesy had finally been fulfilled the four rulers of Narnia sat down on their thrones. King Peter and queen Susan in the middle right next to each other and Edmund beside Susan's side and Lucy at Peter's side. They all looked at their people with amazed eyes, thinking that this was not a dream after all.
