In Which Leo Meets a Witch

Leo and Dusty had been walking for about two hours and Leo was quite frankly bored of snow, he was cold, every step soaked through his sneakers, snow was all well and good, but only when wearing Welly Boots and coats, not when wearing sneakers and t-shirts. Snow for 100 years? Even if she wasn't evil, Leo could understand why most Narnians hated her.

Add on the fact that she was an evil witch that somewhat reminded him of Khione, and he was not wanting to meet her. For are this Aslan sounded scary there was also an odd sort of feeling he got when the name was mentioned. Aslan sounded like a better king that Zeus. A dangerous thought considering that the gods could read his mind, but they had that hold multiple personality thing going on, and he was fairly certain Narnia wasn't in his world; either he had dived into a film, or a book. But then could he really talk? His whole life was mythology to most people. He was probably in a book in some other world. The Heroes of Olympus or something awesome like that!

So really despite all his joking, he would much rather meet Aslan the Lion that the Witch who sounded so much like 'Miss Ice Princess'. In fact he'd like to steer completely clear of her, which, judging by how his life seemed to completely fit in with Murphy's law, meant that he'd probably be meeting her in 3,2,1,0,-1...

Dusty stuck his paw out, meaning to stop Leo from going any further on "Shhh".

Now the problem with this was that Leo was quite a bit taller than most of Dusty's normal companions, so when he stuck out his paw, it wasn't chest height, or even knee height, it was in fact ankle height, meaning instead of stopping Leo, it tripped him up, straight through the bush that Dusty was hiding behind, and face first into the drift of snow, and the scene on the other side of the bush, a scene of a frightened badger, and a tall female figure clothed in white furs.

"There's so much snow! Seriously if she's such a great witch she can afford to spice it up a bit!" Leo grumbled as he got to his feet, the snow melting down his back and making him shiver, as a complete silence settled over the clearing, making him look up to see what was going on. That bit about Murphy's Law? Well a second off was pretty accurate. There was a terrified badger cringing in front of... Yep that was a literal magic wand, like seriously? She had enough magic that she could halt seasons and the forces of nature for 100 years, but she couldn't do it without a wand? How pathetic was that?

In fact that wand was now pointed at him instead of the badger, which he wasn't very comfortable with. The glint in the witch's eyes that told him she had overheard his comment also made him uneasy, or the glint could just be because she was evil.

"A son of Adam. In my country. Tell me boy, how did you get here?"

Leo frowned "Well let's get this clear before we start the whole 'kill Leo' thing, I'm not a son of Adam. Sure my mom was a daughter of Eve, but my dad wasn't a son of Adam, so can we not go there. Also..." Leo looked at the witch, who was looking a little intrigued at his statement "I fell out of the sky, really should have died on impact, but I didn't which was great."

The witch lifted her wand, and the badger started to edge away, but she immediately swung round and cast with her wand. Leo looked at the fear on the badger face as he turned grey from the floor up, till he was completely stone, and his fear was immortalised on his face. A flash of pity and a lot more than a flash of anger ran through Leo brain, and before he knew it he was ranting at the witch.

"You can't just do that, what did he do? That's just cruel, killing like that without a reason makes you a tyrant not a queen! It makes you a monster! And I specialise in getting rid of cruel monsters."

The witch frowned "You irritate me, though your parenthood is intriguing, I have no use for you." The wand came around to point at him, and the same light blue icy stream of magic came at him as hit the badger. Leo dodged- not like it was hard after fighting monsters for the past half-year. He swung round and sent a bolt of fire at the witch, taking great glee in the shock on her face as the fire scraped past her head, burning the side of her face.

The witch snarled and waved her other hand causing a wave of snow to cover him, then sending a bolt of the magic to freeze it, encasing him in an ice coffin. She turned away with a smirk. Leo mentally grinned, he was a fire user, an ice coffin was so not going to keep him down, he could burn hot enough to melt metal, and ice was nothing! Only before he could start to melt it, the witch turned again, why would she...

There was a rustle from the bush behind him. The fox, Dusty, had left his hiding place and looked at Leo, not seeing the witches fury as she realised that the fox had been helping Leo. Not seeing the wand rise to turn the fox to stone as he had done the badger. Leo's anger spiked again, and his ice prison melted almost instantly. He jumped in front of the fox and the spell hit him.

The spell hit him in the right leg; it would have probably hit Dusty head on, but as already established, Leo was a little taller than Dusty. He waited a while; shouldn't he be turning to stone about now?

Leo looked up at the witch's dumfounded face "Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain that that should have turned me to stone."

The witch scowled, making her admittedly beautiful face look ugly. Yeah yeah, he may be a lady's man, but he'd learned his lesson with the spoilt ice princess; ice wasn't for him. She went to cast again, Leo made to dodge, bur realised that would leave Dusty to get hit, well, it had already not worked once...

Leo whispered out of the corner of his mouth to Dusty "Oi, Dusty, get out of here, I don't want you getting hurt for me, go find Aslan, he's the only one who can help me now. If he wants to." This Aslan seemed to be some kind of leader or god to the Narnians, and if he was anything like the gods Leo knew he wouldn't go out of his way to help Leo unless he could get something out of it, then again, his name just sounded good, or... the feeling he got from the name was somehow uplifting and better than any other Name he had heard.

And then Dustprowler was running and the spell was hitting him again, this time over the heart.
