Chapter 3: The Messenger

" Where am I?" said Lorence as he looked around the wood. It was fairly large from what he could see, green and vibrant, but immensly quiet.

"Thats what I was hoping you could tell me." It was the girls voice, from just behind Lorence. He turned around to see her standing at the edge of the little clearing he was in.

" Well, I wondered what happened to you. You know, you didn't have to throw your shoe at me." said Lorence.

" Well you wouldn't leave me alone, so I tried to get you to go away." she said.

Suddenly a large breeze swept through the wood. It almost knocked Lorence and the girl down. At this moment a boy about Lorences age with gray hair and deep red eyes apeared in the clearing. He was dressed in a white robe with golden sandals and looking at Lorence and the girl.

" Peace, to you." said the boy. " I have been sent to you by the son of the emperor beyond the sea. He has told me to tell you that you should go east, to the edge of the mountain." The boy pointed to left of the Lorence and the girl, indicating east.

The boy began to disapear into a golden haze when Lorence said " Who are you and where are we?"

" You are in the land of Narnia, the new Narnia. And I am, Gaberiel."
