Long ago the door to Narina closed forever. Or, should I say the door to the Shadowlands of Narnia closed forever. A thousand years have passed in Aslans Narnia, and a million more on Earth. On Earth, I should say, is false. Because of mans need, it seems, for war, Earth was ruined in a great war between many countries. Nuclear weapons were used and the surface was deemed unsuitable for use. Many people had already migrated to space in the past half mellenium, and the survivors of the war on Earth went to space. The total number of people in space was around 35 billion.

But now on to our story. One of those survivors from Earth was a young man of about 13 named Lorence. He was traveling on a large star liner from the last colony around Earth to the colony on Mars, and then on to the colony in orbit around Jupiter. Lorence was alone on his journey, his mother died just after he was born, and his father died in the war. He had no brothers or sisters, and he didn't know what had become of his friends.

Lorence had spent most of his time in the cargo hold, where it was fairly quite and there was plenty of space. This afternoon was no diffrent, well atleast for a while. As Lorence was wandering around the few of the larger boxes he began imagining that the boxes were were large rocks and that he was on a cliff in a far off land. A noise a about three rows of boxes down brought him back to reallity. He began to stealthily move twoard the sound, untill he could make out just what the noise was.

The noise was the sound of a girl crying softly. He diligently moved over the the third row of boxes to come across a girl of about his age huddled up, with her knees to her chest and her down on her knees. She was the one crying.

` "Why are you crying?" asked Lorence, moving a step closer.

" Go away!" said the girl throught her tears. " Leave me alone."

" Please tell me." said Lorence, taking another step closer.

"Leave me alone!" screamed the girl as she threw her shoe at him.

Lorence dodged the shoe but was knocked over by another force. The entire ship suddered and a loud ripping sound could be heard with a few loud thuds as well. This sent the ships artificial gravity off line and both Lorence and the girl began to float. This was the begining of the events that would take both Lorence and the girl into Narnia.
