Chapter Two
Warm and cozy with a woolen blanket around my shoulders and sitting next to the blazing fire, I began to grow drowsy. The strange goat-man had taken me back to its home, which was a little cave in the face of a big cliff. It said there were others like it around, and this is where they all made their homes. It gave me some hot coco and this blanket. And now I want some answers.
"Umm…Do you mind me asking where it is I am and why I'm here?" I asked. I had come to the conclusion that I had fallen asleep in the woods, and now I was having strange dreams. Or maybe I froze to death, and this is some sort of strange afterlife. Either one seem the only logical explanations I had.
"I am not sure why you are here, but I can tell you that you are in Narnia," the strange goat man said. He talked in an English accent, like me. Hmm. How strange. "Narnia?" I asked. "Yes, Narnia. Everything from here in the Western Wood to the Eastern Ocean, from the Wild Lands of the North to the desert region of Calormen. Narnia," the creature said with pride. I asked another question, trying to word it as politely as I could, "And, umm, what are you, exactly? If you don't mind me asking," The goat-man chuckled and said, "What am I? I am a faun of course! And what are you? You are too tall to be a dwarf. You look like an Archenlander, but they haven't been able to set foot in Narnia for a hundred years!" A dwarf? Archenlander? What other strange things could be in this Narnia? I thought to myself."I'm a human! Have you never seen a human before?" The faun's expression changed from friendly to some other emotion I couldn't read. His voice was filled with the same. "A…human?" He paused for a moment, and then went on. "Do you have any siblings? Another sister? Brothers? Did anyone come with you?" He sounded both worried and hopeful, which confused me. I voiced my earlier theory about why I was here. "Umm, sir, am I…dreaming? Because, not to offend you, but fauns don't exist. And neither does Narnia." He frowned and said, "No, child you are not dreaming. Fauns are real, Narnia is real, and so are many other things. Both good and bad. Now, please answer my question. Are there any others with you?"
