Chapter 4

I slowly followed Strider over the bridge that went over the small lake from the waterfall to the city. It was white and the sun made it look as if it was glistening. It was absolutely stunning. On the stairs into the city was a man and the ellyth from before. The man was easily 6 foot tall and had long black hair. It was in braids and had feathers in it. The thing caught my eye though was the crown that was on his head. Like mine it wrapped around his forehead but his was silver. That meant that technically I was of higher stature than he was. I wasn't sure of how I felt out ranking the Lord of the House.

We stopped in front of the stairs and Strider dismounted quickly before coming to a stop in front of me. He held out his hand I graciously accepted as he helped me down from my horse. As soon as I was off Starlight turned to leave. I clucked my tongue twice before she made it two steps. She turned towards me nudged my shoulder, whinnied, then left. I chuckled softly as she trotted away. Turning towards Lord Elrond I took a step forward and readied myself to take my cloak off, suddenly very glad I had coerced Strider into stopping at a stream quickly earlier so I could wet and redo my hair. I needed to radiate royalty when I showed myself. I can not do that if I wasn't presentable.

"My Lord, may I introduce you to High Queen Lucy, the Valiant" Strider announced.

I lowered my hood slowly, giving it a dramatic effect. My hair had been piled in my hood so as it fell so did it.

"It is an honor to meet you, My Lord" I said, bowing my head to him. This showed him that I would respect him but I wouldn't bow down to him.

"To you as well, My Lady" the clearly surprised Lord said "Let us walk so you can tell us more"

"As you wish" I conceded.

He offered me an arm and I took it, unfortunately I forgot I was injured and moved my arm to fast. Letting out a hiss of pain the Lord looked shocked.

"Are you alright, My Lady?" He asked. I wave him off.

"Nothing but a small cut on my shoulder, My Lord and please, call me Lucy" I smiled brightly at him.

"Then please call me Elrond, Lucy. I'm a healer. I can make sure its just small and not infected" Elrond insisted.

"Perhaps" I smiled "but not here"

Elrond nodded in understanding and started leading me through the city to a beautiful room that had a view of lake.

"This will be your room during your stay" said Elrond.

"I love it. Thank you"

"Now let me look at your shoulder Lucy"

I smiled and removed my cloak so he could see my shoulder. He raised an eyebrow at my weapons and dress.

"You can fight in a dress?" He asked.

"This dress was specially designed so I could wear for travelling or fighting. The skirt has two layers with slits up the legs so I can still move. It is also fancy enough to wear for an appearance in another rulers court after travel. I also trained myself so I was better fighting in a dress than in a tunic and leggings. People will underestimate me if they think I can't fight in what I am wearing" I explained.

He nodded before carefully unwrapping my shoulder. He hissed upon seeing it.

"This cut was given to you by a Morgul blade. You should be passing into the shadow world" he exclaimed.

"I know" was my answer.

"You know" he questioned "so why aren't you?"

"Aslan won't let me" I said simply.

The Lord stopped moving. I almost thought he stopped breathing for a moment there.

"Aslan?" He asked.

"The creator of my worlds. I am his dear one. He won't let me die until my time has come" I answered.

Elrond slowly made his way to my bed where he sat down.

"Just under three thousand years ago a dream came to me. In it stood Eru, our creator. He said to me that he had many different forms and names. He told me of a girl that would come when our world would be in dire need. He didn't say her name, only that she came from two worlds and would be known as Aslan's Dear one"

"Hmm" I said "that's the second prophecy I have fulfilled"

Elrond burst into a full belly laugh and shook his head slightly.

"You, My Queen, are magnificent. But its time you tell me your story"

I giggled before nodding my head.

"I once lived in a world called Earth. I was 10 and my world was filled of war. My father was a warrior and had been sent away from our lands to help fight. My mother was a healer and she left with my father to help the injured. But war had come to the land that my siblings and I lived on. Our enemies were invading us so the Lord of the land sent all women and children to a far land. We lived with a scholar and his maid for over a month before I accidentally went to Narnia for the first time. My siblings didn't believe me when I first came back, for although I had spent over a day in Narnia no time had passed in our world. It was nearly two weeks later that we were hiding from the maid when my siblings travelled to Narnia with me. When we went to go see my friend that I had made we found that he had been arrested for fraternizing with a human, me. The White Witch called herself the Queen of Narnia and she kept the lands in a frozen winter for over a hundred years. She was scared when we arrived for the prophecy told of what would happen when we came"

I paused before I started detailing the prophecy.

"Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight,

At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more,

When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death

And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again.

When Adam's flesh and Adam's bone,

Sit at Cair Paravel throne,

The evil time will be over and done.

"We didn't know that Edmund had already been to Narnia once before and befriended the White Witch. She promised him that if he could bring us to her that she would make him a Prince. Not knowing any better he believed her. He tried several times to try to get us to go to her but we had been found by some talking beavers that told us the prophecy. Knowing that we wouldn't willingly go to the White Witch so he snuck out and went to the White Witch. She imprisoned Edmund when he showed up at her palace alone.

We wanted to go and save him but we knew that if she did the queen would get what she wanted, all four of us within her grasps. She sent her enforcers after us and we managed to evade them. We had thought we had almost been caught when Father Christmas found us. He gave my brother, Peter a sword and shield. My older sister Susan received a bow and quiver. They had magical properties so the she never ran out of arrows and her aim would always true as long as she trusted in her bow. He also gave her a horn that when blown ensured that help will come, even if it was Aslan himself. I got a dagger. I was small then and they didn't want me to fight, just so that I was able to protect myself if needed. I also got a cordial filled with the extract from a firelight plant. A single drop would heal any wound. Except Frodo's. It just slowed his passing enough so we could get help."

"If your cordial would heal any injury, why didn't you have a drop when you became injured?" Elrond asked.

"I don't like the idea of using any on me when it could be used on others" I said. Elrond nodded, understandingly.

"The beavers took us to Aslan's where the Narnians were awaiting our arrival. It was magical seeing Aslan for the first time. At first I, remember being scared and intimidated by his size but he promptly walked before me, laid and the ground and nudged his head on my hand. He acted like a cat wanting attention, so I scratched behind his ear. I was known as His Dear One after that.

We went to his tent and talked about Edmund and his betrayal, how we were going to deal with it. We decided to rescue him after we had engaged the White Witches army with our own. It was later that day when Susan and I were playing by the stream after practice, did her head enforcer come. He attacked us but we were able to climb a tree and Susan blew her horn. It was a minute or so later that Peter showed up. He fought and killed the head enforcer. Upon seeing this his second fled with a handful of our warriors following him.

They found Edmund at the camp and made the decision to rescue him. We were happy to see him again. We spent the night together as a family. The next day the White Witch came to our camp and demanded Edmund be given to her. According to the old laws Edmund's life was hers to what she wished with because of his betrayal. Aslan refused her but went to his tent with her to discuss it further. When they came out she relinquished her claim on Edmund. He was free, but we didn't know the price until later.

I couldn't sleep that night and I saw Aslan walk past Susans and mine tent. I woke her up and we followed Aslan out of the camp. He welcomed us to walk with him. We walked for close to half an hour before Aslan stopped. He told us that he had to go the rest of the wat by himself. We walked up and over the hill and we heard faint cheering begin. Susan and I hid behind a group of trees at the top of the hill and watched as Aslan sacrificed himself to White Witch. We were devastated. We waited for close everyone to leave before climbing down to the stone table Aslan laid on.

We took off the ropes that the Witch's minions had tied him up with and laid on the table with him. It was when the first light came that we got the trees to take a message to Peter about Aslan's death. It was just after dawn when we decided to head back to camp. We had taken a few steps from the stone table when we beard a huge boom. We turned around to see Aslan standing a top a cracked stone table.

He explained that the magic of the Stone Table. If an innocent went in a traitors stead even death itself will be undone. Aslan rose and we went to the White Witches castle and turned all of the stone creatures back into the living selves. When we had freed everyone we went to the place where the battle was taking place for we had used the trees to tell Peter that Aslan had fallen.

When we got there Edmund had been stabbed after he broke the Witches ice staff. She was sword fighting with Peter when Aslan intervened and defeated her. I went around with my cordial and healed all the fallen soldiers and Edmund. It was a week later when we had we were crowned. 10 years later we went back through the wardrobe. I was eleven again. All though years had past in Narnia, seconds had passed on Earth"

I looked up at Elrond and smiles to let him know I was fine.

"That was my first visit to Narnia. Perhaps I shall tell you the rest at a different time."
