Hey, everybody. Back with another chapter.

So, since i got a positive reaction for this story, I'm going forward with it. Also, I may do a story with the MCU with a similar beginning premise, where Starkiller is transported to Earth in the MCU. Let me know if that's something you'd like to see.

Also, to address something multiple people pointed out. Yes, Starkiller in his prime could single handedly win the war. But Starkiller is not in his prime. Stopping the Emperor and then being brought to Narnia has weakened him a bit, and in Narnia, he can't access the full range of his Force powers, at least not yet. He's still a very skilled lightsaber combatant, so he'll mostly be relying on that. And, as I said, I think Jadis is a lot stronger than a lot of people give her credit for, especially when you look deep into her backstory and what she did in the world she came from, and the fact that she kept Aslan at bay for almost a century, so I'll be showing that in this story.

Also, I think I've decided that this will be a story where the Pevensies never go back to England. So, I'll be showing their lives as the Kings and Queens of Narnia years after their coronation.

Alright. Let's get to Chapter 2.

Chapter 2

Galen shuffles himself a bit along the wall of sticks, bending his head slightly to avoid hitting it. He thought he'd seen about everything in his travels in the galaxy. But sitting in a dam of sticks in the middle of an icy pond is a new one.

Peter had briefly explained to Galen on their journey through the woods that the creature guiding them was what was known to them as a beaver, though in their world, beavers, or any animal for that matter, weren't sentient and able to speak. Apparently, these mammalian creatures built dams out of sticks and logs in streams and ponds for their homes. Sure enough, the beaver had led them to his dam, where his wife had met them and welcomed them in, extremely happy to see them.

Galen and the Pevensies were now trying to get comfortable in the dam. Unfortunately, even though the dam was fairly large, it and its furniture hadn't exactly been built with humans in mind. Lucy, Peter, and Susan were sitting on small chairs around a small table while Edmund and Galen were trying to find a spot along the walls to make themselves comfortable.

"What happened to Mr. Tumnus?" Lucy asks. Another of the things Galen had learned on the hike through the woods was that Lucy had made friends with a creature called a faun, whose name was Mr. Tumnus. Apparently, this Mr. Tumnus had been arrested by a secret police employed by someone called Jadis, who claimed to be the Queen of Narnia. It reminded Galen a lot of the ISB, and he was already suspicious of this Jadis character.

"They'll have taken them to the witch's house. And you know what they say. There's few that go through them gates that come out again," Mr. Beaver says. Again, this gives Galen memories of his time in the Empire, further cementing his idea that this Jadis, or the White Witch as he heard he called as well, is not a good individual.

"Fish and chips?" Mrs. Beaver offers politely, holding two plates in her hands as she offers them to their guests.

"I'll take one. I'm starving," Galen says, only just realizing now how long it's been since he last ate. Mrs. Beaver hands him one of the plates, revealing a fried fish and slices of some kind of vegetable. Galen eagerly starts chowing down, his stomach quickly thanking him. Sure, it's not as good as the food he enjoyed in his Imperial service, but it's not too bad.

Mrs. Beaver sets the other plate down on the table for someone to take if they wish. She then looks at Lucy and says, "But there is hope, dear. Lots of hope." She glances over at Mr. Beaver as she finishes.

Mr. Beaver chokes on his drink as he exclaims, "Oh, yeah, there's a right bit more than hope." He pauses, then says in a whisper, clearly showing how dramatic this statement is apparently supposed to be, "Aslan is on the move."

There is silence from the five humans for several long moments before Edmund asks aloud the question on all of their minds, "Who's Aslan?"

Mr. Beaver bursts out laughing. "Hahaha. 'Who's Aslan'? You cheeky little blighter," he manages to say amidst his laughing. All five of the humans are wondering what is going on, as clearly this name is important.

Mrs. Beaver realizes that their guests have no idea who Aslan is, and begins tapping Mr. Beaver on the shoulder, trying to get his attention. It takes a moment for him to stop laughing and look at her, seeing her gesturing towards Galen and the Pevensies. Mr. Beaver looks at them and sees the confused expressions on their faces. "You don't know, do you?" he asks.

"We haven't exactly been here very long," Peter points out what he thinks should be obvious.

"Well he's only the king of the whole wood. The top geezer. The real King of Narnia," Mr. Beaver says.

"He's been away for a long while," Mrs. Beaver starts to explain.

"But he's just got back!" Mr. Beaver adds.

Galen now pipes up. "If he was the king, why did he leave for so long?" he asks.

"He's the one who built Narnia. He didn't govern it, but he is its ruler. It was when the White Witch came in and took over that he left. But now he's back! And he's waiting for you all near the Stone Table!" Mr. Beaver explains.

This explanation touches something in Galen's memory. Something the being that brought him here said. Something about how Galen was being sent to a land that His son created. If what Beaver said is accurate, is Aslan the son of this Emperor-beyond-the-sea that brought Galen to Narnia.

While Galen is musing over this, Lucy is focused on something else that Mr. Beaver had said. "He's waiting for us?" she asks, wondering why this Aslan would be so interested in them.

"You're blooming joking! They don't even know about the prophecy!" Mr. Beaver cries in exasperation and disbelief to Mrs. Beaver.

"Well, then…" Mrs. Beaver responds, gesturing for Mr. Beaver to explain what he's talking about.

Mr. Beaver sighs before he starts trying to explain, "Look. Aslan's return. Tumnus' arrest. The secret police. It's all happening because of you.

"You're blaming us?!" Susan asks a bit indignantly, wondering how all this could possibly be their fault.

"No. Not blaming. Thanking you," Mrs. Beaver says quickly to calm Susan.

Mr. beaver takes a breath before he continues, "There's a prophecy. 'When Adam's flesh and Adam's bone sits at Cair Paravel in throne, the evil time will be over and done.'"

"You know that doesn't really rhyme," Susan says.

"No, I know it don't. You're kinda missing the point!" Mr. Beaver exclaims.

Mrs. Beaver lays a hand on his shoulder to calm him down a bit before she looks back at the Pevensies. "It has long been foretold that two Sons of Adam and two Daughters of Eve will defeat the White Witch, and restore peace to Narnia."

"And you think we're the ones?" Peter asks a bit incredulously.

"Well you better be, because Aslan's already fitted out your army!" Mr. Beaver exclaims.

"Our army?" Lucy asks in surprise.

Susan now turns to her brother. "Mum sent us away so we wouldn't get caught up in a war," she says.

This piques Galen's interest a bit, who wants to learn a little bit more about his new human friends lives. However, he has something more pertinent to his curiosity to ask. "What about me? How do I fit into this equation?"

"I'm not sure, but there has been a belief since the beginning of Narnia that one day, a man would come from the stars and usher in a golden age of Narnia that would last for thousands of years," Mr. Beaver says.

"And I could be that person?" Galen asks.

"Well if you come from another galaxy, then you better be!" Mr. Beaver exclaims.

Galen is quickly realizing how much this means to the Narnians. Clearly, this oppression they've been living under has lasted for a long time and taken a toll on them. Clearly, they are ready to accept any hint of hope.

However, the Pevensies are not ready to accept that they are these heroes of a prophecy. Peter looks at the beavers and says, "I think you've made a mistake. We're not heroes."

"We're from Finchley!" Susan adds to try and further protest.

"Except me. I've been fighting since I was young. I may not be one to believe in prophecies much, but if four humans are meant to take on the White Witch, it sure seems like too much of a coincidence for you all to be here. And honestly, just leave it to me. I can handle most of the fighting," Galen says confidently. Even if he is weakened by what he went through, he knows he's still extremely capable, and likely capable of destroying this White Witch himself.

"No, I'm sorry. But we're not royalty, and we're not here to fight in any war," Susan responds quickly. She pauses for a second before she begins to stand and addresses the Beavers, "Thank you for your hospitality. But we really have to go."

"But you can't just leave!" Mr. Beaver protests.

"He's right. We have to help Mr. Tumnus," Lucy pleads with her older siblings.

"It's out of our hands," Peter responds, trying to get Lucy to see reason.

Galen pushes himself upright from where he'd been leaning against the wall. "But not mine. I know you don't think you can handle this, Pevensie, but I was brought here for a reason, and this may be it. Trust me, I can handle a lot more than you think."

"Maybe, but we can't. You may have been brought here for a reason, but that doesn't mean we were," Peter says. He pauses, then says to the Beavers and Galen, "I'm sorry, but it's time the four of us were getting home." He then calls out for the one sibling that hasn't spoken in a minute, "Ed?"

When silence greets his question, Peter and Susan turn around. Alarm begins to grow in them as they look around the dam and see no sign of their younger brother. Galen is also surprised, as he hadn't even noticed Edmund leaving, so focused was he on the conversation going on. However, wondering if the boy could just have gone outside for a breath of fresh air, Galen closes his eyes and reaches out through the Force to sense his surroundings. He can feel the presence of the other three siblings and the beavers, but nothing else. "I can't sense him," Galen says.

The Pevensies look at Galen in confusion. They had gotten the idea based on a few things he had said since they first met him that Galen had some abilities he wasn't sharing with them. Could sensing people around him be one of them?

Peter, however, is mostly concerned about his younger brother and his immaturity, and the trouble it might have gotten him in this time. "I'm gonna kill him," Peter mutters in frustration.

"You may not have to. Has Edmund ever been to Narnia before?" Mr. Beaver asks in a slightly ominous tone. The Pevensies don't respond, but it's clear from their expressions what the answer is.

Galen, recognizing the seriousness of the situation, reacts quickly. "Beaver, take us to the Witch's castle. Edmund has to be heading there," he says in a tone that shows he is not to be argued with.

"Follow me," Beaver responds immediately, and he hurries for the front door. Galen follows close behind him, with the three siblings following behind him, heading out into the light snowfall that has begun while they were in the dam.

Beaver turns in the direction of a pair of mountain peaks in the distance and starts hurrying in that direction. Galen and the Pevensies follow him closely, trudging through the deep snow. As they start their pursuit, Galen is thinking to himself, What I would give for a speeder right now.

The distance to the twin peaks, behind which lies the Witch's castle, is not terribly great. However, the snow is rather deep, coming up on their shins. Trying to trudge through the deeper snow slows them down. Galen knows he could move much more quickly, especially by using Force leaps, but doesn't want to leave the Pevensies and Beaver behind when he knows this area is dangerous.

It takes the small group about an hour before they finally reach the top of a ridge and come to a stop. In front of them is a vast lake, completely frozen over. And in the center of the lake, on a small island, lies the Witch's castle. The castle is rather large, with two massive spires in the center, and a ring of much smaller spires around the outer edge. Light shines on the upper spies, but the outer wall is completely dark, save for the gate leading into the castle. On top of that, the entire castle is built entirely of ice.

Galen scans the lake for any sign of possible enemies. Seeing none, he refocuses on the castle, and to his dismay, he spots a figure entering the gate, which is beginning to close.

Lucy has also spotted her brother. "Edmund!" she cries out for him, the sound of her cry echoing across the frozen lake.

"Shh! They'll hear you!" Beaver warns.

Peter, however, is not about to let his brother go so soon. He starts to run in the direction of the castle. However, Galen quickly grabs him by the arm, "Stop, Pevensie!"

"Get off me!" Peter demands, trying to wrestle himself free.

"Pevensie, if you try and go in there alone, you won't come back out!" Galen says very sternly. Even he is hesitant to go into the castle. Although he feels he is a match for this White Witch, he also has no idea what kind of power base he's dealing with, and that makes him nervous. At least for all the Jedi he hunted, he knew exactly what kind of powers and skills they would use against him. Facing an unknown is not something he prefers to do. For all he knows, she could have a power that even he can't stand against.

"Listen to him! If you go in there, you're playing into her hands!" Beaver pleads with Peter, trying to get him to be reasonable and not emotional.

"We can't just let him go!" "He's our brother!" Susan and Lucy protest, stunned that Beaver seems to be wanting them to just let Edmund go.

"And that's what this witch is counting on! Don't you see? She tricked Edmund into coming to her in order to lead all four of you to her! She knows the prophecy, and so she wants to kill all of you to stop you from dethroning her! If you all go in there, especially unprepared, you will all die!" Galen rebukes them, not shouting, but his voice very firm. Everyone is looking at Galen in shock and a little nervousness, starting to realizing that Galen is someone used to this arena.

Everyone is quiet for several moments as they realize that Galen is right. While Lucy and Peter feel a sense of despair, Susan feels a rising sense of anger. "This is all your fault," she says angrily at Peter.

"My fault?" Peter asks incredulously.

"None of this would've happened if you had just listened to me in the first place!" Susan continues to chew out her brother.

"Enough!" Galen finally shouts, his voice instantly silencing everyone else. A spark of Force lightning travels along one of his fingers, drawing everyone's attention, which slightly unnverves the Pevensies.

Galen looks around at the three siblings and says, "This childish arguing is not going to help your brother, and is not going to help yourselves either!" He looks at them all and says, "I would go in and rescue your brother right now, but I have no idea what I'd be up against. This is beyond what I'm willing to risk right now, And as long as you three are alive and at large, the Witch will keep him alive to try and draw you in. But if I try and go in right now, even if I'm not captured in the process, she might just kill Edmund out of spite."

There is silence for a few moments before Beaver says, "He's right. Only Aslan can help your brother now."

The others are quiet for a moment before Peter says, "Then take us to him."

Everyone looks back at the castle, hoping that Edmund will be okay while they wait to rescue him. After a moment, Galen says, "Alright. We'd better get moving. Soon enough, the Witch is probably going to send her secret police after us. Best if we're gone by the time they come for us."

And, I'll end the chapter there.

Next chapter, we'll see Galen start to really demonstrate some of his Force powers to the Pevensies and Beavers. Also, since I'll be including the scene with Father Christmas, give me some ideas of something you'd like to see Galen get as a gift.

Also, for those wondering about Galen not just going in to rescue Edmund, one reason is that he worries the Witch might kill Edmund in retaliation if she learns of the rescue attempt. Also, as I mentioned, Galen has no idea what kind of power the Witch holds. In the past, everyone he's ever fought was either a soldier armed with blasters or a Force sensitive armed with a lightsaber and able to use the Force. But here, all he knows is that she can cause an eternal winter and has been strong enough to keep Aslan away from Narnia. Even for someone like Starkiller, the unknown about such an enemy would be enough to give you pause. And with someone as tactically minded as Galen Marek, I'm sure he'd want more information on the White Witch and her castle before attempting a rescue.

Next chapter will be up soon. Until it is, please leave a review, and stay tuned.
