Chapter 1: The Prophecy
Lucy Pevensie was standing on the beach, her back was to the ocean. She was staring up at the building she called home, Cair Paravel. A smile was etched onto her face as she remebered the times her brothers and sister ruled Narnia as the Kings and Queens of Old. She never thought that she would come back so soon and she never thought that she would come back alone. She loved being in Narnia, she loved everything about the mysterious world, but now, more than ever, she wished she hadn't arrived alone. She didn't even understand why she was alone.
She turned around to face the ocean and she felt the light spray on her face as her hair blew in the gentle breeze. The ocean gently lapped at the shore, taking sand away but putting it back in it's place. The moon reflected the silvery light the moon was casting off. Shadows from the cliffs above surrounded her and made her feel more alone than before. She didn't know how she got there, especially since her brothers and sister weren't there with her.
"Something's coming," she muttered when the wind blew her hair across her features once more. As the wind whistled she could hear tortured screams in the background as well as evil laughter and the sound of choked cries. She slapped her hands over her ears as she tried to get the screams out of her head but they only got louder and louder.
"Calm down, young one."
She pulled her hands away from her ears and turned around. Standing a few paces away from her was Aslan. His mane blew in the breeze as he kept his golden eyes locked on her. She smiled before rushing over to him as he crouched down so he was lying down on the sand. She threw her arms around his neck and nuzzled her face into his warm fur. She giggled a little when she heard Aslan purring.
"Oh, I missed you so," Lucy whispered before stepping back and smiling at Aslan. The serious look on her face made it disappear instantly. "What's wrong?"
"It is time for you to regain your thrones," Aslan responded.
"The four of us?" Lucy repeated happily. Ever since she heard that Peter wouldn't return to Narnia, she was depressed, to say the least. Not having Peter in Narnia with her was like not having Peter in her life at all. She's always looked up to Peter and everyone knew that he was her favorite sibling. Even though it was revealed to her that he wouldn't return four months ago she lived that day in her nightmares every single night. SHe didn't say anything to her family because she didn't want them worrying about her. Aslan confirmed her question. "But I thought you said Peter and Susan couldn't return to Narnia."
"We are going to need Peter's guidance now more than ever if we want to save Narnia," Aslan responded. "New creatures are being revealed. A couple of guards and villagers that protect and thrive in the Kingdom of Rayuvial have been killed by them. These beasts are by far stronger than the ones we have fought before."
"They're even stronger than the White Witch?" Lucy gaspes. Aslan blinked. "What are they after?"
"That is still a mystery, young one." The sand around them started to lift into the air before the two were trapped in a sand cyclone. Lucy looked around before looking back at Aslan. He was being surrounded by the sand and it seemed like he was being turned into sand as it joined the spinning cyclone. "There is so much more that you need to learn..."
She gasped when he disappeared all together. She turned around and around, trying to find him, but he was gone. Tears started to slide down her face as she heard his voice:
Anger…That night 1300 years ago, we sealed it away, nearly died and then went our separate ways trying to reclaim our position in the world. But now…Now the seal is breaking, anger is slowly seeping out and back into her heart. Can we stop her again? Or will we lose and join her? What caused this anger to fill her heart with hatred in the first place? Will it ever be sealed away? Only eternal love can save us all…
