'Odd, it is the same, but do not be torn apart is now emphasized.' James observed
'Maybe we will be attacked by an animal.' I quaked.
'Don't worry Hoff, I'll take care of you.'
'Thanks James, now what is this light?'
We both walked forward and looking into the light saw the most beautiful lady I had ever seen. Both of us were startled when she spoke, for she looked but a picture.
'Hello dear ones' the voice cooed 'What are your names?'
'I'm ...' I stopped as James elbowed me in the ribs. Suddenly I felt very mad at him and yelled who I was as loud as I could before wrestling him and beating him up. The woman just laughed. When suddenly James yelled out.
'Don't Be Torn Apart. This is what it means! Stop oh please stop!'
And I listened and realized he was right, stood up and apologized. The women did not seem happy. But hid it well.
'Child, your name is very beautiful. Now what is your friend's name?'
I started to say when James spoke up saying:
'My name is Will.' I looked at him weird but he leaned down saying 'I don't trust her.'
I nodded suddenly realizing that I didn't either.
'Now I have a little present for you two, here.'
Both of us went forward and taking it wanted ever so much to attack again for some strange reason. I looked around and back to the object in our hands and seeing that it was a circular object with a blue stone in the middle, and on the wall below the instructions was circular hole. Suddenly James was on me yelling
'Give it to me give it, I want it, it is mine!'
I saw the lady smile and started yelling
'No! It's mine, give it, mine, mine!'
As I yelled I heard a growl and suddenly realized what I was doing and let go. And turning to my partner I said 'Don't be torn apart. We have to stop.'
James stopped and looking down at the ground for a moment apologized.
'So, what should we do?' he questioned
'But that thing into the wall over there' I contemplated.
The woman behind us let out a shrike. But we continued to walk and placing it into the hole we found that it fit perfectly. A grinding noise was heard and we saw that it opened a door for us. Walking through we saw across the door was written:
'Any who come here, let it be known, only one can own. Bring hope to our home. Let Justice and Peace be at hand, so take it and go to your land. If with a friend , do not be torn apart. Water shall rise, you'll need each other. Stay faithful and true. Follow the path and be Right.'
'Water shall rise,huh' I thought looking down into the stream before us. A boat was tied to a stick. looking up I saw we were in the middle of the crack and there was a shelf farther up. Looking to my left I saw James was standing by a lever.
'Hey, um get into the boat, and I'll pull the lever.' James suggested
Well I thought it was a good Idea so I got into the boat, James pulled the lever, and then we heard a rushing noise. The water began to rise up pushing the boat up, the rope below was still attached pulling the boat below. Over the water I heard James call out.
'Hoff! I'm coming'
And diving below the water he took his knife out and cut the rope. I screamed and held onto the side of the boat. James's head broke through the water grabbing the boat. I reached out, trying to pull him into the boat. The boat started to tip, I saw the ledge I had seen earlier.
'The ledge!' I yelled 'Grab the ledge!'
Quickly he grabbed it pulling the boat toward it as he did. I jumped off and saw on the wall written:
'Any who come here, let it be known, only one can own. bring hope to our home. Let Justice and Peace be at hand, so take it and go to your land. If with a friend , do not be torn apart. Water shall rise, you'll need each other. Stay faithful and true. Follow the path and be Right.'
Looking beneath it I saw a small box. Walking over I opened it and saw a beautiful necklace in the shape of a lion.
'Only one can own, so take it and go to your land. There's only one necklace. Do you want it James?'
'Maybe we will find out later who is supposed to take it.' He answered. 'And how are we supposed to get off of here?'
Looking around I saw a small ladder going up.
'Maybe by going up there?' I spoke
And so we started climbing that precarious ladder. We were back on that hot steaming sand and our legs felt like rubber. But there infront of us stood a lion, thee lion.
'Welcome child and friend' Spoke he
'Hello Aslan' we said in unison.
'The necklace belongs to the Hope and Faith of Narnia.'
James stepped away and saying 'I am not he that is the Hope and Faith of Narnia'
Aslan nodded and walked up to me.
'Sir, my mother said I was the Hope of Narnia, but I do not think that I am.'
'But you are, child. That necklace that you hold in your hands is very precise, it holds much. When you wear it you will age normally until you are fifteen, but when you hit that age you will stay the same until your father returns.'
That is when I exploded. 'He will NEVER return, he has left and abandoned us! I despise him and all of his family!'
'Child, he did not abandon you, it was not his fault!'
' .Was.'
And then Aslan left. After that James and I headed home without much adventure. The King was very happy when we returned."
"That is the end of the story?" Questioned Chanson
"Yes, now let us have some fun."
So saying she ran into the woods toward the beach on the opposite side of the Island, Farthest away from the other land.
