Chapter 6: The Ravens Message

Mr. Tumnus, Professor Digory, and all the children took a seat by the fire and enjoyed some hot tea and sardines on toast. All except Susan, she never really liked sardines so Mr. Tumnus offered her some buttered bread and warm milk.

"Mr. Tumnus, Mr. Tumnus, play the Narnia lullaby like last time." Lucy suggestied.

"Would you like to hear it again. Just dont fall asleep!" The Faun answered. They all giggled and watched as the Faun stood up and grabbed a small wooded pipe of the top of the mantel piece.

He set back down and licked his lips. Then he put the pipe to his lips, and looked back at Lucy who was smiling waiting patiently. Then he blew into the pipe and all the sounds in all of Narnia couldnt have compared to the beautiful music ejected from the tip of the pipe.

The song ended, they all fell silent. "Would you like some more tea and sardines anyone? How about some more bread and warm milk for you Susan?" Faun Tumnus asked.

" NO thank you im full." They all answered.

"Well tell me all about you journey hear and tell me about how you came to no Digory or Professor." The Faun said. So Peter started the tale and told most of it begining at the time they where chasing the White Stag and seeing the Lampost again and going back through the wardrobe. And how the next year was long and they had nothing to do since they couldnt leave the Mansion property.

Every now and then Lucy would cut in and tell something that Peter had left out. But the professor just sat in silence listening to the adventures of the children. Then after the story was over Mr. Tumnus looked at Professor Digory and said "Tell me of your adventure after our meeting at the Stone Table." So the Professor begin telling his story leaving out most of the details and some of the big events just because it would have been to long to tale. The children looked at him while he was telling his tale for they hadnt heard the storys of his time in Narnia. The professors voice trailed off and he fell fast asleep.

"Whats that noise?" Edmund asked. All the children and the Faun began listening and looking around.

"That sounds like a Raven of Cair Paravel." The Faun answered. He stood up and walked to the window that faced back down the snowy path that the children had took to get to the house and there on a branch just outside of the doorway on a tree branch, sat a Raven with a Note roled up and tired around its neck.

The Faun oppened the door and ran outside and greeted the bird in the birds language and took the note and gave it to the children. The bird flew away chirping the song of the elder days.

The note read:

Dear Your Majestys,

Please come to Castle Cair Paravel as soon as you can make it. Bring any help you can find for Aslan awaits you and all you bring. The whole of Narnia may be in grave danger. It is all happening as before. The beavers awaits you at their dam. Stop there first and bring them along.

Please your Honors come quickly.

Yours Truley and with haste,

Cair Paravel

P.S- Tell know one of you were abouts for its none of their buisness and if they ask tell them you are the Kings and Queens of Narnia and to let you pass.

"Come quickly. What could so bad that it requires a long journey across Narnia? Or to bring Aslan back to Narnia and call for help?" Peter questioned hisself.

"Well there was one thing that I didnt tell you."The Faun began. "When Aslan came back to life and the Stone Table split. The spirit of Emin Jadices' aunt return to Narnia and is Living in the Castle between the hills. And not even Aslan can defeat him alone."

"Yes we no." Susan said.

"How?"

"Well Lucy said Aslan came to her in a dream and talked to her about the bad things happening in Narnia and requested our emidiate come to Narnia. Then the Professor Digory told us about the making of the Stone table and placeing the body of Emin in the core of it." Peter informed.

"How did you no all the stuff you told us Professor?" Edmund asked.The Professor got a little smile on his face and said,

"My dear boy i was there when they pored the cement and carvered the words."

Then the Faun said, "Well there isnt much time. I must go with you to Cair Paravel to help Aslan. Grab anything you see that we might need along the way. Food mainly just enough to do untill we get to the beavers dam. Hurry. There coming!."
