NARNIA: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

This story is about Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy and what happened to them when they were sent away from London. ☆゚.*・。゚

It was just a fine sunny day, when the four decided to play Hide and Seek. "Ready or not~" sang one of the four. The rest of them quickly found a place to hide and tried their best not to get caught. Lucy, the littlest, decided to hide in a wardrobe. 

A few minutes later, Lucy realized that she was standing on white snow. Honestly, she wouldn't have noticed it if it wasn't for the cold wind that angrily blew itself towards her. She shivered in coldness and finally decided to go into the forest that had snow overlaying every tree.

She went on quite a long journey before meeting a gentle fawn. The Fawn looked at her in confusion before quietly spurting out "W-wait, are you a human?" Lucy nodded slowly while confusing took over her face. "We have to get you out of here!" whispered the Fawn. Once they got to the Fawn's house, he quickly introduced himself as Tumnus. 

Tumnus then told Lucy about the Witch. The Witch was very, very evil he said. She would turn the people that went against her into stone and the moment, she was searching for a human to turn into stone for a new part of the collection. After he told Lucy about the Witch, he told her to go back to 'Human Land' by going through a portal. The portal kept moving around, but fortunately, Tumnus knew about its schedule and walked Lucy to portal.

☆゚.*・。゚

Once Lucy stepped out of the Wardrobe, she ran into the living room panting. She then told the others about what she saw. The Forest, Mr. Tumnus and about the White Witch. 

Yea, no one belived her. They even took her to a doctor. The doctor stayed netral, he told them that of course they didn't belive Lucy, they haven't even been there! He also said that maybe in that other dimension that Lucy stated, time worked differently there. It could be days, months and even years there but it would just be a few minutes here.

So the next day, they went into the Wardrobe with Lucy. First time they did it, nothing happened and Edmund was spurting out things like "Lies" and stuff that made Lucy cry. Then the next day, they did it. They finally came to Narnia, the forest that was enveloped in snow all over. But of course, news spread quickly here in Narnia. The White Which had known that there were humans here in Narnia, so she decided to find those humans. Lucy hadn't known what the Witch looked like, so she greeted the Witch kindly. The Witch offered the four some Turkish Delights. Edmund was the one who ate most of it, to be honest. Soon enough, the Witch took a liking to him and whispered in his ear, "Would you like some more? Come to my castle tomorrow and I'll give you as much as you'd like." Edmund being Edmund, he nodded dumbly without thinking twice. 

A few moments after meeting the Witch, the four were walking around, not really having anywhere to go when suddenly an old, gentle looking beaver came stumbling towards them, saying that he was told to bring the four to his house by Tumnus so that they'd be protected. 

Mr. Beaver then took the four to his house and told them to settle in and act as if it's their own house. They didn't keep an eye for Edmund and soon realized, he was gone. As you might've guessed, yes. Edmund being hungry for Turkish Delights decided to go to the White Witch's castle but to his dismay, once he got there he didn't get any Turkish Delights. The only thing he got was getting turned into a stone with no hope of coming back to life. 

Mr. Beaver and the rest was frantically searching for Edmund, then he realized. "He must've gone to the Witch's castle." He said quietly. So yea, long story short, Mr. Beaver, Mrs. Beaver and the rest decided to quickly pack up and find another place to stay which hopefully the Witch wouldn't find. 

Once they settled in a new cozy burrow, the quickly made up a plan to go and search for Aslan, the Lion that was supposed to be the rightful king and ruler of Narnia.
They never did give up, even when there was no sign of Aslan, but once they were about to give up, he showed up. Aslan showed up right in front of them with his shining, glowing mane. They told Aslan about the Witch, the whole turning into stone thingy and the fact that Narnia was enveloped in snow all over. 

He didn't waste any time and quickly made an army. The army consisted of Angels, Horses, Giants and other things that you wouldn't belive exist. He told the White Witch to come to the round table which was located right in the middle of Narnia to have a 1 v 1 duel. The Witch got weaker as Aslan came, but she tried to seem powerful in front of everyone else. Long story short, Aslan and his army won of course. 

The Witch, of course was banned and thrown away from Narnia along with her servants. Aslan then walked around Narnia and found a table with a few beavers, squirrels and a few others that were cold stone. He wasted no time, and quickly brought them back to life. He also didn't forget to go to the castle and bring back Edmund and others such as Mr. Tumnus back to life. Santa even stopped by! He said Narnia had this weird shield that didn't let him and his reindeers go in, but after Aslan defeated the Witch, that shield thingy soon disappeared.

☆゚.*・。゚

A few days after those events, Aslan usted the four enough and decided to make them kings, rulers od Narnia, with Peter as the high king because he cared very much about the rest of them and even went out of his way to help others in need.

Honestly, this was such a good book in my opinion. It made me go through a rollercoaster of emotions. I'd read this book again if I could hehe. I wish Narnia was real, it would be amazing to spend even just 1 second there.
