Hello,
I mentioned this in my "Dust In The Wind" story and I gotta post it in here too. I was listening to "Poison" by Alice Cooper while writing this. i've practically been listening to this song all weekend and week. I'm obsessed with it.
Anyways enjoy this chapter. ;)
As Atreyu and Lucy came out from the mountains dusk is now approaching and Bryian and the blonde centaur awaited for them across the bridge. The blonde centaur gazed with a dishonoring look at Bryian and Lucy. "I do not like how you both went behind my back like this.
"Listen," Lucy spoke. "It had to be done and look," Lucy looks at Atreyu standing by her side. "My visions worked didn't it now he is finally here. This is the Warrior Atreyu from the land of Fantasia."
"I have dealt with this darkness before," Atreyu said almost valiantly. "I just need to know a few things from everyone in order to help you all defeat it."
"There are some who already want to greet you at the Dancing Lawn," Bryian bows. 'It is not far of a walk, we could carry you there if you'd like."
Lucy rode on Bryian again as Atreyu said he preferred to walk.
Atreyu walks beside Bryian's side to stay in touch Lucy riding him. "Is there someone in your royal family that is ill?" He asked her.
"No, not at all," Lucy shakes her head. "Why do you ask?"
"When the Nothing was in my land it was destroying everything because our empress needed a new name in order to start our world over again." Atreyu explains. "Perhaps you have someone here who needs a new name. Do you have a main ruler of this world besides you and your siblings?"
"Well the true king of Narnia I hear has always been Aslan," Lucy said. "You know the one who I told you about that lives across the sea in his own country."
Atreyu nods his head and grunts. "Has he come to warn all of you on what's happening?"
"No, us Narnian's haven't seen him in years after the day of the coronation and the defeating of the white witch."
"What was the white witch?" Atreyu asks.
"She stood as a false Queen here in Narnia for over a hundred years and made it always winter year round." Lucy states. "My brothers and sister and I helped Aslan banish her for good."
After that Atreyu goes quiet and starts to think trying to put some of the pieces so far together. At least from what he gathered, but nothing could make sense to him as he thought about it.
Upon reaching the Dancing Lawn a well made bonfire could be seen in the middle of the field and Lucy shrieks excitingly. A faun comes up to greet her. "Hello Mr. Tumnus," Lucy wrings her arms around the fauns neck.
"Has it been a few months?"
"It sure has." Lucy hugs the faun tighter and lets go of him. "Mr. Tumnus, This is Atreyu, he's a warrior from the world of Fantasia, not far I assume from Narnia."
Atreyu waves his hand, "Nice to meet you Mr. Tumnus." Tumus smiles "You too Atreyu," and shakes Atreyu's hand.
"Atreyu wants to ask a few questions from everyone." Lucy continues as she glances from Atreyu and back to Tumnus.
"Not until I get a dance from you your majesty." Tumnus prompts with a bright smile.
Lucy looks back at Atreyu and he grins. "It's fine Lucy."
Lucy smiles back and takes Tumnus' hand going out towards the bonfire and dances away with him and all of the fauns that joined around them.
Atreyu stands by Bryian leaning on a tree with his arms crossed as he watches the magnificent dance. Lucy began to take over Atreyu's attention. She came off a lot more sensitive and attractive to him then his visions portrayed her to look in real life.
Atreyu couldn't help but feel very drawn to her. This wasn't the first time he's came across to a girl. Though he found some girls his age quite attractive back home he never felt drawn to them like he did with Lucy, and he barely even knew her yet.
He didn't know why he was getting these feelings all of a sudden when he had a mission he has to accomplish.
