Authors Note: Heh, I got two quizzes out in one day! Just too clear things up. 1. This is under Adventure, I do have a plot it won't be all fluffiness…maybe just half fluffiness (kidding more like 10-15). Send me reviews, I want them (NOT FLAME-or Jerry my muse will attack you with his Spork.)
Disclaimer: I do not own any of C.S. Louis's characters…just Anna, my muse Jerry and his Spork.
"Maybe this wasn't the best of ideas…" she trailed over looking around her utterly lost in the thick forest. Annalya had let her hair flow gently down to her upper back and her brown eyes searched almost desperate now for something…alive. At first upon entering the forest, there were flowers and blooming trees, deep blue sky that stretched for miles, ripe juice berries and mossy grass. Now everything could be described as dead, and grey.
Anna felt loud crashing noise and instantly began to panic, her breathing sharpened and she quickly dodged behind a rotten oak tree, one that at once was magnificent.
"Oh, my!" she exclaimed in a hushed whisper as she saw what looked like a very large horse trample down the road, except…
"That can't be" she thought as she swore he looked half human. A loud gasp escaped her lips causing the large centaur to spin around, his arm extracting a large bow and deep green eyes looked for the predator. Black silky hair ran down over his ears and neck matching the color of his body.
"Come out beast, or suffer the pain of my bow." He commanded in a deep voice. Quietly Anna came out of the shadows; every fantasy book she had read always imposed Centaurs as kind creatures.
"T…that would be me." She stuttered slightly and a frown crossed her face in worry.
"You're a daughter of Eve?" He stated in surprise. Only the kings and queens of Narnia were Sons and Daughters of Adam and Eve.
"A wha…oh. Silly me. Of course Eve…Yes I am a daughter of Eve. My name is Annalya Concoonen." She replied with a quick formal introduction.
"You…You can put those down now…" she hinted as the arrow was still pointed at her thin neck. He nodded and took the arrows done as a sign of acceptance and peace.
"You may call me Altar the Centaur," he replied most dignified and then spoke in a very low and quiet whisper, "If I where you human Annalya, I would not travel through the Forest of Hayden…its quite dangerous. Too many Narnians have gone missing.." he seemed worried.
"Forgive me, but Narnians? Exactly where am I mister Altar the Centaur?" Anna asked as a dark worry filled her stomach.
"You're in Narnia, Milady. Please it's not wise to travel through here any time of day, evil has once again breathed on the good creatures of Narnia…there is danger and evil here. And I fear it will strike very soon. That is why I am traveling with His Highness-High King Peter and his other highness King Edmond. We have been looking for anything…anything that may answer our questions." He feel silent and then looking at the Human noticed how vulnerable she would surly be.
"In fact Lady Annalya, I demand you travel with my associates and me for your safety." He replied in a demeaning tone.
"Well I wouldn't want to intrude but…if you insist." She replied with a secret grin. Traveling with royalty she could handle…and she was getting kind of hungry.
"Please Sir. Altar lead the way." She replied, but couldn't help noticing as they walked away from the forest of Hayden, the trees seemed to sway, the dark swept in…and she felt sorrow in her heart.
Authors ending Notes: This is a world record for me, Two Quizzes out in one night. Alright I promise Anna will meet some very special people soon!
Memo: Don't yell at me saying that there is no Hyden Forest in Narnia...in this Narnia there is! Just take a left at the lam post, a quick right at Taumus the Fauns house, then head that way for 30 miles, You'll find a fork in the rood go left and ten miles down (conviently by the evil witches castle) is Hyden Forest. Not a pleasent place to go really.
