Chapter 9: To the next Haven.
Mrs. Beaver quickly went and grabbed Mr. Tumnus and helped him to the bed and then she gave him some new clothes and food and some tea. Then she covered him with a blanket and set him beside the fire. But the Professor wasnt doing so good. His body seemed to refuse to get well. Mr. Beaver had a good idea to keep a watch out or to have a guard that would watch outside for a while and then switch with someone else kinda like shifts but after a couple days the guarding idea died down. Everyone stayed in the dam waiting on the Professor to get well. When one day he just got up and said.
"I am ready to go now."
So they all got they packs and fur coats and scarves and continued on there way. This time they did not make much haste just walk at a steady pace with the Professor in the Middle so they could keep and eye on him.
Winter seem to grow more and more. Everyday it seemed to get colder and the snow seemed to get deeper. It fell inches and inches an hour but still they pressed on.
Then the next haven was in sight. It wasnt much but it was good for them. It was a rock that ejected from the hillside over the plain making a cave in the earth.
When they reached the cave they took off there luggages and folded out there blanket and pillows and laid down and everyone but Mr. Beaver fell asleep.After countless hours Peter awoke.
"Mr. Beaver, would you like me to keep watch for a while?" Peter asked.
"No my boy, you need to get your rest. You will have a bigger part in this adventure than I will, dont worry everything is okay." He answered. Then Peter took his blanket and went to set beside Mr. Beaver. Mr. Beaver seeing what he was doing made some room for him at the doorway.
"Whats happening to Narnia , Mr. Beaver?" Peter asked.
"Emin has returned."
"I know that much but what does she want?"
"Full control , just as Jadice did."
"Why is she so great that Aslan cant defeat her?"
"Aslan has more power than any that I no, he gives you a choice on what you want to do. He loves anyone who will love him. But Emin however is Sly and Sneaky. She will show people the good before the bad. She is Aslans evil twin in a way i guess you could say."
"How are we supposed to help?"
"I dont know that yet, Peter, but Aslan does."
Peter fell asleep beside the Beaver, but the next morning they all awoke in fright. Horns blew, the wind howled, and cries of an army could be herd.
Mr. Beaver stood on top of the rock looking west, when atlast he could see a Chariot with a Woman in White pulled by 3 White deer. Then Behind her marched an army of Thousands.
"Hurry we must go quickly. War is Kindled, we must make haste to Cair Paravel. Hurry." He told the group.
They all grabbed their bags and blankets put them away and then down through a tunnel that led to the river just about five or six miles from Cair Paravel.
"This is the shortest way to go but the hardest. Almost and impossible path of razor sharp rocks. Can you make it?"
"Wait what is that?" Asked Mr. Tumnus looking up and pointing.
"Its the Ravens they've come to help." Shouted Mrs. Beaver.
