Later on in early evening
"Well, that was a lovely dinner, even if the meat was different." Peter said.
"That was meat?" Edmund asked, to which he once again received a hard slap upside the head from his older brother.
"Edmund, where are your manners? You're a king, for Aslan's sake!" Peter exclaimed.
Susan and Lucy snickered at their brothers' fight, this was almost a daily thing for them and it was quite entertaining. Right now, though, they had to focus on something else entertaining. Everyone had gathered in a conference room on the temple's lower level to tell all of their stories, the Solo kids going first with their story about their adventure in Narnia.
"So, what did happen to you in Narnia?" Luke asked his nephews and niece.
"Well, good sir, I would be the one who first heard these three calling out to me in the woods. I was very surprised but happy to meet them. And after our meeting with the beavers over here, we began our trek to Cair Paravel." Mr. Tumnus said.
"Oh yes, my dear wife and I were thrilled to meet these three as well. We knew they would fulfill the newest prophecy in Narnia: that three great warriors would arrive and help defeat the evil white witch again." Mr. Beaver said.
"Of course, we did encounter some obstacles along the way. The first one was being attacked by the witch's horrible wolves." Mr. Tumnus replied.
This peaked Luke's curiosity, as he was curious as to how this encounter was handled. But when Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin told him of how they Force pushed two of the wolves into the river and used the mind trick on their leader, he was all smiles at them.
"Very good, you three have remembered your lessons very well." he said.
"Why thank you, Uncle Luke. But we still had a very exciting journey to complete." Jacen said.
That excitement, according to Jacen, culminated in them meeting the great lion Aslan and then their arrival at Cair Paravel to meet Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. They did indeed feel nervous at meeting these kings and queens, but after their first meeting all nervousness melted away and they got along. They got to know each other even better the next day when they started their training at Aslan's camp.
"Jaina's great with a bow and arrow! She hit the bulls eye on her first try!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Thank you, Lucy. And you might remember how good my brothers got with their lightsaber skills." Jaina said.
"That is very true. I was impressed with Jacen and Anakin's skills with their light swords." Peter said.
But it wasn't all fun and games for long, according to Anakin. He hung his head in embarrassment when he told his parents and his uncle of how he was surprised and captured at the stream by Jadis and her minions and what he did to try to escape.
"Well kid, if you had a blaster with you that would've been over real quick." Han replied.
"Han, a lightsaber is the only weapon a Jedi ever uses." Luke said then turned to Anakin to speak to him about what had gone on.
"Anakin, there are many things that you could have done. When that evil wolf was on top of your chest, the Force push would have easily gotten him off you. Then you did do the right thing by blowing your horn, but a wise decision would have been to back away from a fight you knew you could not win. Remember, a wise Jedi does not crave fighting and knows when he cannot win one." Luke said.
"Oh ok, Uncle Luke. I'll remember that." Anakin replied.
Now it was Jaina, Edmund, Lucy, and Mr. Tumnus's turns to speak up about their rescue mission for Anakin. The wolves were a great obstacle for them, as well as the ogre, but they easily overcame it with Jaina using the Force to throw the wolves against the wall and the Jedi mind trick on the ogre to get Anakin out of his cell safely. But when they arrived back at camp, they found that the army was ready to go up against the white witch and her minions.
"It was a long battle with swords and axes swinging all over the place. And when Susan got hurt, we knew it was now or never." Jacen said.
He then proceeded to tell everyone of how he and his brother kept the witch distracted by deflecting her attacks with their lightsabers and how their sister suddenly appeared out of nowhere and Force threw the witch against a tree, impaling her and ending this battle.
"But Jaina here was just standing there with her light sword turned off in the middle of an ugly fight. I though for sure she was crazy, but I still don't understand what she did." Mr. Tumnus said.
"She was doing exactly what I taught her to do; she was clearing her mind and reaching out to the Force for advice on what action she should take." Luke said, smiling at his niece.
"That is very interesting, sir. In fact, our friends' journey is very similar to the one my family and I took to become kings and queens of Narnia." Peter replied.
"Oh, do tell that one. I would love to hear it." Leia said.
The Pevensies then began their own story. They told of how they were living in London, England during a horrible war with late night air raids and sleeping in backyard shelters. The hardest part for them was being evacuated from their home city to the country and leaving their mother behind. Not only did they miss their mother terribly, they thought they would be terribly bored in the house of the professor that they stayed with.
"But it wasn't boring at all; I found the wardrobe that lead into Narnia!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Yes we know you did, Lu." Edmund said.
"Ed! Just help us tell the story, ok?" Peter said.
"Allright, fine." Edmund grumbled.
The next part of the Pevensies' story involved all four of them eventually going through the wardrobe into a wintry Narnia and learning from the beavers about the prophecy involving two sons of Adam and two daughters of Eve defeating the white witch. But when Edmund wandered off towards the witch's palace, they knew they had no choice now but to find Aslan and help save their brother. They also received some help from Father Christmas in the form of weapons as their Christmas presents.
"And Susan finally realized that he was real." Lucy pointed out.
"Yes I did, Lu. I believe you about that now." Susan replied.
Then after a brief skirmish with the wolves, the group finally arrived at the camp where they met Aslan and began their training with their weapons. It was also here that Edmund was rescued from the clutches of Jadis and they learned that he was supposed to die on the Stone Table at the hands of the witch for being a traitor.
"Oh my, what happened then?" Leia asked.
"Well, Aslan stepped in and offered his life in exchange for mine. I didn't find this out until later, but I was quite shocked that he did it." Edmund replied.
"Well, at least you didn't witness the actual sacrifice. Lucy and I did and it was heartbreaking. We ended up spending the night near Aslan's body because we were so upset." Susan replied.
And it was during the girls' campout near the deceased Aslan that Peter, Edmund, and the Narnian army learned that the witch's army was approaching and they would have to go into battle. But since they were greatly outnumbered by Jadis's army, it proved to be a rocky start, topping it off by Edmund getting stabbed in the stomach by the witch's broken wand.
"But thankfully, our sisters here arrived just in time with Aslan who was revived due to the Deep Magic, and they came with more warriors who were imprisoned in the witch's castle." Peter said.
That added help really gave the Narnian army an advantage, as Jadis and her minions were finally defeated and Narnia was free from her power. And after Edmund was healed thanks to Lucy's cordial, the children were brought to Cair Paravel and coronated in a ceremony as the kings and queens of Narnia.
"It was a wonderful coronation ceremony and we are proud to rule over Narnia." Peter said.
"But I'm still curious about something: when our friends here first arrived at Cair Paravel they told us briefly about their family history. But we are still curious as to where you all actually came from. Can you please explain it to us?" Susan asked.
"Well dear, I'm afraid we aren't good at telling stories like that." Leia said.
"Yeah, the professor over there in the corner is a better story teller than any of us." Han said, indicating C-3PO who had been standing quietly in the corner the whole time.
"Oh, I will do my best to tell you all the story of the Rebellion." C-3PO said as he scampered up from the corner.
The droid began his story with tales of a young Leia Organa growing up as the adopted daughter of Bail Organa and princess of Alderaan. She was a member of the Imperial Senate as a young teenager, but it was all a cover to her being a member of the Rebel Alliance as she successfully stole the plans to the first Death Star.
"What in bloody hell is a death star?" Mr. Beaver.
"Well, my friend, here in our world we have the ability to fly in space. A Death Star would be one such thing that can be flown in space. In fact it is a huge space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet." C-3PO said.
"You mean…like Alderaan?" Peter asked to which Leia gave him a solemn nod.
C-3PO continued his story with his tale of how he and R2-D2 kept the plans with them as they traveled to Tatooine and met Luke, Han, Chewie and Obi-Wan Kenobi and how they ended up traveling to the Death Star to rescue Leia. And once she was rescued, they launched a successful attack against the Death Star to destroy it.
"And that attack was launched from this very base." C-3PO said.
"Oh, really? That is very interesting." Mr. Tumnus said.
"Yes it was, Master Tumnus. But we did end up having to move from here to a base on the dreadful ice world of Hoth." C-3PO said.
"An ice world? Blimey, you must know how we felt during Narnia's hundred year winter." Mr. Beaver said.
The Narnians then heard the story of the Rebels' time on Hoth, including how Luke almost froze to death but was rescued by Han and how the Rebels had to evacuate once the Empire discovered them there. But they didn't get away scot-free yet, as Han had to deal with a bounty hunter on his tail and a broken hyperdrive on the Millennium Falcon. He brought it to Cloud City in hopes it would be fixed but was caught up in a trap there set up by the Empire and was frozen in carbonite as a result.
"Pardon me for asking, but what is carbonite?" Susan asked.
"Well, Queen Susan, carbonite is a dreadful substance that freezes beings in a suspended state. It is very similar to being turned into stone." C-3PO said.
"Oh I know that all too well." Mr. Tumnus replied, shuddering at the memory of being turned into stone by the white witch.
"What happened to Han after he was frozen? Did you search for him?" Lucy asked.
This was the most interesting part of C-3PO's story, as he now launched into the tale of the year long search for Han and the rescue mission of him from Jabba's palace, which ended in a huge battle by the Sarlacc pit and the explosion of Jabba's sail barge. Everyone went to the rendezvous ship to plan the attack against the new Death Star, but Luke went back to Dagobah to finish his Jedi training and it was here that he learned Leia was his sister.
"How did you feel when you heard that, dear?" Mrs. Beaver asked.
"I was shocked and surprised, but at the same time I felt happy. Leia and I always had a special connection; I just wasn't sure what it was until then." Luke said.
The story was then finished with the tale of the journey to Endor to destroy the shield generator that was protecting the second Death Star and ultimately, the second Death Star itself. In the end, there was a huge celebration on Endor in honor of the Empire's downfall and a huge sign of hope to a galaxy that was under its thumb for years.
"Oh my, what an incredible tale." Susan said.
"Blimey, I had no idea all of this happened to you. Makes what happened to us seem like nothing." Peter said.
"Nothing, what do you mean nothing? I was almost killed by that bloody witch!" Edmund exclaimed.
"We were all in grave danger that day, Ed. It could have happened to any of us." Lucy replied.
"Well, from what I've heard from my niece and nephews here, you four were in mortal danger twice: first to free Narnia and then to save it." Luke said.
The Pevensies, the beavers, and Mr. Tumnus all nodded their heads in agreement; they couldn't agree more with what Luke said to them. But all of the stories they had heard were quite interesting and they were glad to have heard them.
