The faint light ahead grew bigger and bigger. Atreyu and Lucy came out of their kiss and embraced each other as they came back down to the ground slowly still in the embrace. Lucy looks around as everything was white and began to decapitate.
The castle Cair Paravel stood on the high hills as though it had never been pulled out from its' place. Everything, even the air and sea looked a lot clearer and beautiful then it ever had before. "Atreyu you've did it."
"No," Atreyu said in disagreement and shakes his head. "We both did." He smiles down at her and Lucy returns his smile as she embraces him again.
In the white mist everyone that was taken by the Nothing came in clear sight where Atreyu and Lucy could see them. Susan, Peter and Edmund came out with shocked expressions. "Alright," Edmund spoke. "What just happened?"
"Exactly what I said," Josaphir announced as he limps his way through the crowd. "The darkness dragged us in." Queen Lucy comes up to the man and gives him the cordial to drink from.
Then Lucy's brothers and sister came up to her and apologized. "We've really contradicted ourselves this time." King Peter admitted. "Although what actually made this darkness disappear?"
Lucy smiles and walks back up to Atreyu taking his hand and brings him forth to Peter, Susan and Edmund. "This is Atreyu of Fantasia, he is our savior and Hero."
Atreyu blushes when Lucy said "Hero" a word he had always wanted to be known as. He felt more delighted to hear it from someone special rather than strong and looked up to, which is what he thought he would feel, and in a good way he was glad he didn't feel that way.
The Kings and Queen smile upon him as they nod their thanks to him. "You did a great job seeking him sister," Queen Susan bows and so does everybody else.
In the distance Lucy had her eyes on a golden figure coming about the hills and she then knew who it was. "Aslan!" Lucy cries out ecstatically to the lion.
Everybody that bowed quickly came back up and looked to the new morning sun as Aslan appears. Atreyu noticed how everyone looked upon him with adoration expressions as they stood still when Aslan passed through them.
Atreyu found himself bowing before the majestic lion. He could sense the warmth of Aslans breath seeping through him. It made Atreyu feel more alive than he's ever felt in his life. "You may rise Warrior Atreyu of the Great Plains in Fantasia." The lion spoke in a courageous and honorable tone.
Atreyu comes back up as his gaze still locks on Aslan and grins to him. Josaphir made his way through the crowd again without limping like he was doing earlier. "What has happened to the people out at the islands your majesty?"
"Do not fret Josaphir," Aslan reassures him with a nod. "They have all returned safely and so have your family."
"I want to see them now your majesty," Josaphir said a bit hastily, which no one not even Aslan could blame him after what just happened.
"I will take you back home myself when I begin to go back to my own country." Aslan said and Josaphir thanks the lion.
Aslan turns his attention to Atreyu and Lucy again. "Lucy," He nods to her. "You have done well trusting your instincts once again."
Queen Lucy returns her gratitude to Aslan. There was a moments silence before Atreyu had to ask a simple question. "What was wrong with this world for the Nothing to come here in the first place?"
"While years ago when the white witch was defeated," Aslan began to explain. "All seemed as though it was right again but there was one thing that was still missing. Compassion and loyalty," Here he turns from them and looks at the crowd along with Peter, Susan and Edmund. "I gave you all two kings and two Queens for a reason yet you still do not listen to your Queen Lucy."
A great pause displays and Aslan continues on. "Do not push her into the shadows of her older siblings, listen to her guidance too. It was Atreyu who had finally shown the Queen her light again which is what saved you all from the Nothing."
The crowd all nodded and obeyed that they will also give young Queen Lucy the chance she should be given. "For if it wasn't for her," King Edmund announced. "We wouldn't have known about Narnia or came here."
"That is right," Aslan said in agreement and looks to Atreyu again. "My son, when you arrive in Fantasia again you must not let anyone know of your adventures taken place here. For if anyone knew they would try to get here the same way you did."
Atreyu promised he wouldn't. "Will I ever see Queen Lucy again?"
Lucy smiles and she would hope so and she patiently awaited Aslan's reply. "In time you may perhaps be needed here again or vice versa."
Queen Lucy and Atreyu smile at each other at the same time upon hearing that it was guaranteed that they may meet again. "Aslan?" Atreyu asked having another question for him. "I must know how and why that this world is in no connection whatsoever to Fantasia's?"
Aslan chuckles, not in a that's a funny question way, but more in a secretive way. "Let's just say that not every make believe story is as it seems." That is all Aslan was going to tell Atreyu.
"It is now time that you go back into your own world," Aslan said and everyone applauds to Atreyu.
Atreyu smiles at everyone and locks his gaze on Lucy and takes her hand in his. "I will see you again."
Lucy nods with a big grin and didn't like to see him go this quickly. "Thank you." She whispers to him before she went to stand by her siblings.
Now it was Atreyu and Aslan that stood facing each other. "Atreyu turn around and close your eyes. Atreyu did so and the only thing he thought about was the day when he and Queen Lucy would reunite.
In Fantasia
Atreyu wakes up underneath his favorite tree in the plains where lives as if he'd never left to begin with. It all felt like it was only just a dream, but it couldn't have been.
Suddenly he felt a little familiar sharp pain on the side where Gmork slashed him in Narnia. He gently pulls his brown skinned shirt upwards finding the same spot on his body where Lucy had to sew him up. A smile forms on his face. It was all for real.
Atreyu looks up, his best friend Turbak still glances at him worried for Atreyu. So Atreyu pulls his shirt back down and gets u running towards the village.
"Come on Turbak," Atreyu taps his friend on his back. "You're right, I have been missing everyone while I was gone so lets all catch up.
Turbak smiles and the two joins everyone as a feast began to brew. Atreyu only told the story of his first adventures and kept the Narnia adventure a secret just like Aslan told him to do.
As time passed by Atreyu still thought about the Queen Lucy, until one day she appeared in his land. However that is another story.
The End.
