☆｡Castles Crumbling｡⁠☆ A Narnia Story

Eye of the Storm

" What do you mean?" Lucy asked cautiously.
" It means that I don't know!" Iris said getting frustrated.

"Look Iris , I know that you wouldn't lie to us. We just want to know what's happening." Susan said approaching the girl  who was now shaking.

" Of course she knows! She has to! It doesn't make sense!" Peter yelled feeling tricked.
There he was finally in Narnia where he should be a king. A king was not lied to. But Iris did, or so he thought.

Edmund, who had not said anything in this conversation, started looking through the chest beside the statue. He paused after finding a heavy book.

The Chronicles of Narnia
The Fall of Narnia
By C.S. Lewis
He quietly took the book and but it in his bag which he had with him from Earth.

Meanwhile, Peter had sunk to the floor and was holding his crown, which was one of the relics, in the light of the torch.
" She shouldn't have lied. She lied to us all. She must have." He seethed placing the crown down before getting up and kicking a stone pillar, grimacing at the pain.

Lucy rushed towards her brother, trying to calm him down. Susan side eyed them before turning back to Iris , who was gone.
"Where did she go?"
Edmund turned at this, finally realising what was happening. He rushed out, leaving the torch on the floor, his footsteps echoing throughout the chamber as he went into the sunlight.
He stopped momentarily letting his eyes adjust to the sunlight. He looked around the clearing trying to spot her.
She was nowhere to be seen.

He went inside the ruins of the castle, what was left of it, and saw that despite the attack the castle was still intact in some areas. The throne room still had it's pillars and the dias was still there, with empty spots for the thrones. There were five. Five thrones. Not four for each of his siblings and himself. Five. Something more had happened while they were gone. He looked around and saw that the north tower was almost fully intact. The stairs leading up the main balcony facing the sea and the forest. He quickly went up the steps to the balcony when he saw Iris standing facing the forest.

"Iris"
She turned facing him. There were tears running down her face.

Iris had no clue what was happening. After seeing that statue she hear the voices again and now standing up here her vision flickered. Right now she was alone with Edmund in the silence and the only noise was the wind. She faced ruins and the remains of a empire. But then she faced a glistening castle and ships in the sea and crowds at the front of the castle happily cheering as she looked at them.

Something strange is up. Like a storm of  secrets and memories and I'm involved in it. I'm the eye of the storm.
