READ THE AUTHORS NOTES, THEY'RE IMPORTANT
A/N: Ok, this is a filler chapter, but not purposely. Its really important but there is no action. Keep reading. Another chapter will be up before this day is over. If you are confused by this chapter, say so in your review, and I will try to help you.
A/N: this is less important, but this is the answer to the Rachels name riddle, cause no one guessed. Have you seen the movie Wedding Crashers? Well one of the characters, a girl called Claire, is played by actress Rachel McAdams. When I thought up my character, Rachel, I thought of the character Claire. So thats exactly what my Rachel looks like. If you want to picture her, go to google and type in Rachel McAdams Wedding Crashers, and hit the picture button.
Explanations are Confusing
The abrupt question caught Peter off guard, but he realized that it was impossible, "Tumnus, you don't look any different from when we last saw you"
Tumnus spoke carefully, "Thats partly why Aslan sent me. I don't know the details exactly, but he told me to tell you to meet him in Narnia. Something is different, my liege. Something is wrong in Narnia"
"What do you mean Tumnus?" Lucy asked, concerned
"As I said before, I am only a faun, and therefore not privy to the inner workings of Narnia. I don't know for sure, but I do know that they have found another prophecy" Tumnus glanced around warily
"Another prophecy?" asked Susan, who had seated herself in a chair by the fire. The others followed her lead, and sat down
"Yes another prophecy," Tumnus said officially, "The first one, as you well know, stated thus, ah-em, When Adams flesh and Adams bone, sit at Cair Paravel in throne, the evil time will be over and done"
"That doesn't quite rhyme" Rachel said
"That doesn't matter!" almost everyone in the room said sharply
"Well anyways," Tumnus hurried on, "You can ask Aslan what the prophecy says exactly, but I do know why it is such a concern. When you fell out of the wardrobe, time went on. It went on just as the arch stated it would. You see, Aslan recently translated the history that is written upon the arch by the stone table. That arch has on it everything that was, is, and will be. The only problem is, not everything on the arch happened, and we have run out"
"Out of what?" Edmund asked
"Out of time, of course" Tumnus said exasperatedly
"So your saying, that your world shouldn't exist any more" Emmet said
"Not exactly. History has started to, well, repeat itself. While you were gone, something went wrong. Instead of time going as it should in Narnia, its kind of sped up. The arch said that you should have returned to Narnia. First you, and the a boy and girl named Eustace and Jill" Tumnus was sweating
"Eustace our cousin?" Lucy asked
"Yes, but none of you came back. Don't you see? History kept going, but it skipped you! History went until the end of time, and then it started over! Everything that went right is done and over with, but everything that went wrong, has to be redone. Thats why I'm here, to help you. I'm alive all over again, but with the same memories!"
"So does that mean..." Peter feared that his suspicions were correct
"Yes. Aslan traveled to the world in between. He went through the pool to Charn. He was there, he saw, Digory and Polly wake Jadis again, and then he saw Jadis destroy her own world. Aslan figured it all out. Our world should have stopped by now. You see, every world has a certain history to follow, once it is done with its history, the history starts again, but in another world. Polly and Digory awoke Jadis again, but it wasn't the Polly and Digory from this world. A different Polly and Digory came, because we got that part right. No others of you will come, because thats were we messed up. Narnia's history should have gone to another world, to be replayed, but it stayed. It stayed because it was never completed. Some how it skipped a step. You never came back, so it came back for you, to try and fix all the things that went wrong. Oh its to complicated to explain. I don't even understand it exactly. The problem is, if you don't come back, then Jadis is going to keep coming back, over and over again, but you won't, because you didn't the first time. You have to relive everything again, as soon as possible" Tumnus sighed
"You mean everything, the exact way as before, with my, well, you know" Edmund said
"No, your betrayal won't happen again. Basically, you did everything right, but you weren't suppose to fall out again. For instance, when you get there, you will already be crowned kings and queens of Narnia, just younger of course. Your first part is done, now its the second time round. It will be very different. Now that we have the second prophecy, we understand where we went wrong. Thats where you to come in" Tumnus gestured towards Rachel and Emmet
"So all of history is happening again?" Susan said
"Technically yes. Everything that went right will not come again, like the story of Prince Caspian, Prince Rillian, King Tirian. But the stories of King Peter, and the others who ruled with him at Cair Paravel are only partially complete , and therefore, only parts of them are done with. The rest of the story has yet to be written, because you fell through the wardrobe"
"Alright, enough questions. Poor Mister Tumnus is only the messenger, not the worlds source of knowledge. You must be off to Narnia, it has been hours here since the horn sounded, and with everything off track, that could easily be days, or mere seconds, in Narnia" The professor got up and motioned for them to do the same
"I'm still a bit lost" Emmet said
"Look," Peter said, fore he had understood everything, "basically, history is on a repeat, but some things are different. The witch came and was conquered in Narnia again, but now we have to change the rest. Got it?"
"Sort of"
"I'll be right back" Peter turned down a side hallway
"Good, we're here" The Professor opened the creaky door to reveal a dusty room. The room was empty, all say for a large elegant wardrobe
"Know this, your highnesses, people talked about Prince Caspian after his reign, just as much as they did yours. But he shall never come again. This time in history, people will remember Prince Caspian and you still, but will now live your story again, as they will never do Caspian's. Understand. You are the only ones to rule again" Tumnus then walked straight into the wardrobe
"Oh come on you slow pokes!" Lucy a ran after Tumnus, who was already through
"Slow down" Edmund said, following just as quickly
"Here, I'll show you" Susan said to Emmet and Rachel, who were looking very strangely at the wardrobe that had just swallowed up three people
"Follow quickly" Peter said, suddenly appearing next to Emmet. Peter jumped into the wardrobe
"Was he wearing tights?" Rachel asked no one
"Narnia evolved differently than the Earth. It many ways, it is a far more exciting place. Its clothing is quite different" the Professor was smiling, "Now in you go" Emmet and Rachel took one last look at the Professor, before entering the wardrobe.
Ok, confusing I know. I did my best. If you are extrodinarily confused, or you want clarification on somthing, jist say it in your review and I will get back to you. A better chapter will come before today is done.
