Chapter One: Four Children

Adventuria's POV

I stared out of the window, at the lightly falling snow. It was breathtaking, even more beautiful than the snow back in England. Pity it was enchanted...and evil.

"Here you go, darling."

The female Talking Beaver handed me a cup of water, and I tore my eyes off the window. The water stilled and grew misty. My heart started to beat faster; what would the water show me? I saw four children – two Sons of Adam and two Daughters of Eve. . They were here, the four saviors of Narnia that would end the White Witch's reign.

Two Sons of Adam and two Daughters of Eve…

Well, make that three Daughters of Eve, including me. I stood up, carelessly tipping the cup of water onto the dirt floor. There was no time to loose.

"Adventuria! What in the name of Aslan are you doing?"

"They're here! Come, Mr. Beaver! The four children prophesized!" I yelled, dragging my long black cloak around me. I rarely shouted in Narnia. I was usually composed, modest and mature beyond my eleven years. This time was an exception. It was urgent, one mistake and Narnia would be doomed eternally. As soon as I was out I shape-shifted into a robin, taking off immediately. Before my arrival, I had seen Aslan and he had given me the power of magic. Magic had many advantages but those who possessed it had silver veins visible at the wrists. When slit, the being would not be able to do magic until the wound healed.

Two Sons of Adam and two Daughters of Eve,

shall arrive in Narnia on Her hundredth year of reign

and even the Great Lion shall be back.

Yet, these shall only happen with a young girl

Who wears a mask and shall not be revealed

A girl, an orphan, a warrior,

Shall bring the four to their zenith.

That was only one of the prophecies played over and over and over again in my head. This one was special. I was the girl, the orphan, the warrior who needed to wear a mask. Aslan had also told me that I could not take it off in front of any Narnian or reveal my identity. If I did, I would face the consequences of being expelled from Narnia forever and all my memories of it would be erased.

As I approached Lantern Waste I saw four figures standing outside Mr. Tumnus' cave. I sighed. Mr. Tumnus had been arrested for fraternizing with humans. To be specific, the youngest that was standing in front of me, as I landed on a branch.

"Psst!"

The older girl with long dark hair turned to my direction, frowning. "Did that robin just "psst" us?"

I leapt to the next branch, hoping the siblings would understand my gesture.

"I think it wants us to follow it!" whispered the youngest Daughter of Eve, "Maybe it knows what happened to Mr. Tumnus!"

I leapt from branch to branch when a young male voice interrupted our progress.

"How do you know we can trust this thing? It's just an animal…" the dark-haired boy trailed off.

Something hit me. He didn't look right…their was something about his eyes…

I saw the oldest sibling shrug. He had golden hair and attractive blue eyes and I sensed bravery in him.

"Well, there isn't anything else we can do, is there, Edmund?"

So that was the deceitful boy's name. I hadn't met him before, but I called it my 'sixth sense'. For some reason, I always could 'feel' things about to happen. Bad things.

I flew away suddenly, my eyes searching for Mr. Beaver, hoping he had followed me. As I saw him tottering through the woods, I landed and shape-shifted back into my true form.

"They're here. I want you to approach them and see their reaction, before leading them back to the Dam. No arguments." I whispered urgently.

I flew back to Beavers Dam with my fingers mentally crossed.
