By torchlight the cave wall paintings dance in shadows.
Lucy slips further into the How, into the cold and dark, backtracking; fingertips tracing leaping white stags and the billowing sails of the Splendour Hyaline, trailing the outlines of Ettins falling to the sword of the High King and the thin lines of the four royal thrones of Cair Paravel.
In a corner, paint smeared and faded, she finds a lamp post and a fawn. There, amongst ancient history of her own making, Lucy takes a breath and allows herself to mourn for what once was and what still might become.
