Chapter 5

A legend paid its price

As Polly lay there, on the table of stone, her blonde hair fanned out on the thin layer of crispy fresh snow, bathed in completeness, her eyes closed in contentment she could not know, that an ancient legend in Narnia had just fulfilled itself.

She didn't know, that her and Diggory's transgression in the dawn of Narnia's time was to be repaid. She was to be the mother of two kings and two queens who were destined to kill the evil she and her love had brought into a innocent world. Her children were destined reign over Narnia in happiness and faith.

This payment was the balance for their bringing of evil into Narnia that would send it into winter, until Diggory and Polly's children could defeat this evil and repay the due, for on the very stone table was inscribed in an ancient tongue:

He who gave into temptation,

The one who struck the bell,

Her who was destined to love him,

Through heaven, land and hell,

They are bound to pay,

The blood of evil mercy

Back to the land that gave them birth,

They give it back a way,

To fight the coldest darkest bonds,

To reign upon the land and sea,

To kill her one and twice for all,

Until the green splendid land once more,

For which it was created.
