PLEASE FORGIVE ME!
Chapter 2Narrator
When Margaret came to her senses, she had quite a lot of questions,
Like where she was, and why her body felt so different.
Her questions were going to be answered soon enough, because the Lion from her dream was in sight and coming closer.
She was very frightened, yet glad at the same time.
When she tried to speak, all that came out was:
"Raaarow"
She covered her mouth with astonishment, but when she looked at her hands, they looked unusual; they had scales instead of skin, and claws instead of nails. When she tried to look at the rest of her, she found a very long and scaly neck had replaced her own, in fact her whole body was longer and was covered with multicolored scales. She thought that she might be a dragon, but she had to be certain, and sure enough, at the end of her body, there was a long tail, and on her back, there were two leathery wings with golden tips. But this could not be possible, after all, one does not turn into a dragon overnight, unless by magic of course.
She tried to speak again,
"Ackoonaa," which meant, "Where am I?"
Then the Lion answered her as if He understood.
"Do not be afraid, young one, for you are in the free land of Narnia. And as for your dragon skin, I was the One who made you so. So that you can learn patience."
Now if Margaret was the sort of person who despised reptiles and feared heights, she would have been quite afraid and upset, but Margaret loved them both. Although the one idea that made her happiest, was the fact that she was in Narnia, a free world in which she could run and play and sing as a dragon without burdens. And with that, she thanked the Great Lion, and ran into the woods.
Margaret's POV
This is the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me, this calls for a song! (I hope Aslan will allow songs to be in English.)
I used to carry the weight of the world
And now all I wanna do is spread my wings and fly
I don't know why I was so afraid... all the time
Memories seemed to bother me. My whole life
I used to carry the weight of the world
And now all I wanna do is spread my wings and fly
I used to carry the weight of the world
And now all I wanna do is spread my wings and fly
I don't know why I was so ashamed
Such a waste of time
And I don't know who I was trying to be
All those lies
I used to carry the weight of the world
And now all I wanna do is spread my wings and fly
I used to carry the weight of the world
And now all I wanna do is spread my wings and fly
Oh and there's always something
Or somebody right behind
Well we're not meant to be everything
We're just a piece
So spread your wings
Oh I don't know why I was so afraid all the time
I used to carry the weight of the world
And now all I wanna do is spread my wings and fly.
Thank you Aslan! Now all I have to do is learn to fly. But I wonder if I can try a nice big roar…
"ROAR!"
That felt good. Oh look, there are some creatures. Wow, I've never seen a centaur before, and real dwarfs! I think I'll ask them their names.
"Eerakaanaa Husee"
Oops, I forgot, I can't speak. Wait, what is that centaur doing?
"State your business," he said as he raised his sword.
What is he doing?
Narrator
Now, when a dragon is threatened, it may tilt it's ears back and growl, in a way of saying, 'keep away.' Margaret was aware of this kind of behavior, and acted upon it. But the centaur took it as a threat to himself and the dwarfs that stood beside him. So he motioned to them a plan of action; to throw a net upon the dragon, as he distracted her by waving his weapon around. And when the net was thrown, Margaret thrashed about in an attempt to free herself. And when one of the dwarfs stuck his dagger into the dragon's tail, she let out a cry that was not only heard for miles, but also resulted in a great blast of fire. Armed with this new technique of fighting, the frightened beast blew her great flame all around her, and when she stopped, there was a circle of burnt grass and trees surrounding her. In her grief for the hurt Dryads, she decided that fire was not the best option and went back to fighting with her teeth and claws, for her tail was no longer useful. Then when she thought that things could not get worse, the dwarfs did the one thing that dragons hate most of all, they muzzled her. At this point, Margaret was very afraid of what they might do to her. They may simply lock her away, or they might kill her. It was at this point that the dragon stopped struggling, and lay still. She was not giving up however, she was just waiting to see what would happen next, and it was that the dwarfs and the centaur, dragged her to the place where she would be judged by the four Kings and Queens, and that was none other than Cair Paravel, and if Margaret had heard this, she would have been singing out with joy, but she had fallen asleep. And as the young dragon slept, so did Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. They had just been through a very long and dull meeting, that they could not get on with the rest of the day without a nap. And while the dragon and their majesties slept, something very unusual occurred, they all had similar dreams. Lucy dreamt, that she was running through the Great Woods, where she met a girl a little older than herself, and they talked and laughed with each other until the stranger suddenly had to leave, and when Lucy called to her, the girl vanished. Susan dreamt that she was practicing archery when a girl a little younger than herself, practiced beside her, and when Susan turned to get a good look at the stranger, she turned into a hideous beast! But when the young Queen blew her horn to get help, the monster vanished. Peter dreamt that he was in a sparring arena with a humongous fire-breathing dragon, and that his beloved siblings were all rooting for the dragon instead of him! And when he drove his sworn into the creature's heart, it turned into a young girl, dropped to the ground and vanished. Edmund dreamt that he had gotten lost in an unfamiliar land, then out of the bushes, came a terrifying beast! And just when Edmund thought he was done for, a girl who looked about his age came out from behind the trees and silenced the creature. When he got a good look at the girl, he saw that she had golden hair that went down to her waist, and eyes that changed color when you looked right into them. The Just King had to know her name, but he found it hard to ask for fear that he might say the wrong thing and she would leave. Then she answered that her name was Margaret, but he didn't ask yet, it was like she read his mind. Edmund then remembered his manners and told her his pleasure of their meeting. The stranger then nodded, bowed, whispered into her beast's ear, and started to walk away. But when Edmund called to her, asking when they would meet again, they simply answered that they would see each other again soon, then she vanished. When the lone King looked at the monster, it simply smiled, lay down, and then it too, vanished. Margaret dreamt that she was a fully-grown dragon, flying through the sky with her handsome mate. When they landed, all the creatures of the forest bowed to them. Then out of nowhere the sky darkened, and from over the mountain, came the devil himself, and a gigantic army! Though she and her allies where able to keep them back, she found it was all down to her and the devil. And just as Satan was going to rip her heart clean out, a light came from the sky, and made the devil, a harmless dumb mouse, then it vanished.
Now, as you've probably guessed, Margaret was the dragon and the girl in the Pevensie's dreams. And all five of the dreams ended the same way, with Aslan approaching them and telling them that their dreams were visions of their futures, and not to take them lightly. And with that, The Great Lion roared and vanished, which of course woke them up, and when they arose, they were all wondering what their dreams meant, but they had other things to worry about.
Yay! Another chapter done! I do not own "Weight Of The World." Or Narnia. Please Review!
