Chapter 1 - Sacrifice

Sacrifice

They stood in the darkness, staring at the maelstrom of burning torches, drums and screaming voices in the distance. Susan could feel the vicious rhythm trembling in her body, and her teeth were chattering. Lucy’s cold, small fingers stole into her hand, and the maddening noise grew louder and louder… until it broke off.

The White Witch lifted a dagger with both hands and yelled something incomprehensible. The weapon fell in a white hot arch.

Lucy’s voice was a disbelieving gasp, and Susan sobbed, feeling all the fragile, newborn faith bleed out of her heart.

“The great cat is dead!”


Chapter 2 - Resurrection

Resurrection

They stumbled down the ancient steps. The air was chill; it seemed to Susan as if winter had returned to Narnia to stay forever.

Suddenly the ground beneath them moaned and quaked, and when they had regained their balance and turned around, they saw that the stone table was empty and broken.

Light touched their faces, and they stared, eyes widened. They saw him come, a dark silhouette against the golden radiance, and flew to meet him.

“Aslan!”

Susan burrowed her face in the tawny mane and felt her own overwhelming joy and laughter vibrate in his enormous chest.
