{3} The Last Protector {Voyage of The Dawn Treader}

The Last Battle [2]

{Silver's POV}

"Is it time?" Darren asked, and he looked at Aslan, who nodded his head at him, the head that had been an great symbol of hope in Narnia.

"Yes dear ones. It is time to shut it. The door into Narnia, shall never be open, again."

Aslan said, and I looked at him. "Is that because none of us are alive to see it?"

I asked, and he looked at me. "You young wolf, are wise beyond your many years. Everything must have a beginning, and everything must have an ending." Aslan said, and I looked at him, and then at the others next to me.

"When Aslan bares his teeth." I whispered. "Winter meets its end." Ed said, and Peter looked at us.

"And when he shakes his mane."

Peter said to us all, and I could see all of the pain in his eyes. "We shall have spring again." Lucy said quietly.

"High King Peter. Close the door."

Aslan said, and Peter looked at me, and I nodded at him slightly, as I took a step back, and watched.

Peter gripped the stone door, and pulled it shut, and I went to help him with Eustace and Edmund, as we pulled the door shut.

I felt a change in the air, as soon as the door on Narnia shut, and then I saw the landscape around us.

I saw that there was animals surrounding us, and that they were all speaking, and beyond them was humans, and I saw someone we all knew.

"Caspian!" I shouted, and the King looked at all of us. "Peter! Edmund! Jill! Lucy! Silver!" Caspian shouted.

"Silver." Darren whispered, and I looked at where he was looking, and I stopped.

I saw that a Snow Leopard, was in and among all the other animals, and next to it, stuck to it's side like glue, was a bear.

"Is that?" I asked quietly to Aslan, who nodded. "Yes young one." He said, and I let out a howl and the Snow Leopard looked up and saw us.

The magnificent animal loped up the slope towards us, and I dropped down onto four paws, as a wolf for the first time in years.

Darren was next to me as we quickly loped down to meet our mother, and the look on her face was shock, and a joyous look.

"My young ones." She whispered, and I bowed my head to her, and her look was a wave of emotions.

"You have made me so proud young ones." She said, and we all stood up in human, and she hugged us tightly.

I shut my eyes, and felt like the hole in my chest had been filled once more because somehow, I had known I was coming here. One day.

"All are welcome here. Wolves, Leopards, Humans, Kings, Queens, and Royal Advisors. Stallers."

Aslan said, as if he had read my mind.

"This is your Mother I presume?" I heard Peter, and I looked at him and nodded slightly.

"High King Peter." My mother said, and knelt as a leopard, and he smiled at her.

"I beg of you, please stand. Our Protector is one of us, therefore, any family of hers is one of us."

He said, and my mother stood up, and I stood next to Edmund, and Lucy was just in front of us.

"To the clear northern skies, High King Peter, The Magnificent." I said quietly, and Edmund smiled.

"To the great western wood, King Edmund, the Just." I said quietly, and I felt him squeeze my hand.

"And. To the glistening eastern seas, Queen Lucy, the Valiant." I said, and they all looked at me.
