The Prophecy

"But Peter" moaned Queen Lucy sticking out her bottom at the high king "that's unfair." Peter sat on his throne glaring down at his little sister, "as your older brother and the high king I forbid you to leave the palace without guards" the high king commanded. The valiant queen flopped on to her throne sulking. "Oh come on Lu don't be like that" the king started "it's for your own good" "I know how to handle a sword" Lucy said defending herself "I can defend myself from the rebelling Narnians "what with your little dagger" the king laughed " you couldn't even defeat a fairy." "Yes I could!" Lucy began but then interrupted by her sister Susan "There is no point in fighting with him Lucy" the gentle queen stated the obvious "You know he will always win" Peter smirked when he heard this, oh how he loved being high king he ruled over pretty much everyone this he liked. At that very moment a centaur trotted into the throne room "your majesties" he said graciously as he took a bow "There has been rumours about a new Prophecy" he indicated to a scroll in his hand "people believe Aslan himself predicted it." "Bring it forward good sir" said Susan as she sat down on her throne "Lucy go fetch Edmund he'll be in his library or in the coat of arms" The valiant queen eagerly got up off her throne and raced out of the throne room in search of her brother.

King Edmund the Just was in the coat of arms practising his sword work when Lucy came gushing in almost bowling him over "Oi watch it" the king shouted at his sister "I could have hit you" "Come quickly" Lucy said as she began pulling Edmund out of the room "Hold up Lu" said Edmund as he pulled his arm from the valiant queen's grasp "what's the rush" "there is a prophecy "Lucy said as she grabbed Edmund again "They say Aslan predicted it himself" At the menion of Aslan's Edmund dropped his sword and ran out of the coat of arms with his sister to join the other's in the throne room.

"We're here you can start now!" shouted Lucy as she and Edmund ran into the throne room and sat down on their thrones "Well what does the prophecy state" said Peter leaning towards the centaur "here your majesty" the centaur said as he handed the scroll over to the king "I think it is best for you to read it" "Yes of course" said Peter fixing his crown on top of his head as he unravelled the scroll "Oh it's in ancient Terabithian" said the high king looking confused "I thought no one wrote in that language anymore" "That is what I thought too your majesty" said the centaur "After their queen drown in the river I thought they kept to themselves." "You mean Queen Leslie Burke?" questioned Edmund looking at the centaur "Yes" the centaur replied "She was only ten years old she had not even reached woman hood" "can we please get back to the prophecy" said Lucy impatiently "There's just one problem" said Peter sounding worried "I can't read Terabithean" "oh give it here" grumbled Edmund as he snatched the scroll off the high king and cleared his throat

When the sun and the moon collide

The dark master will reign

Unless a blood heir of the throne of Terabithia

Learns of her true power

All will be lost and done for

And Terabithians themselves will be lost forever

"What on earth does it mean?" questioned Lucy "I never knew King Jess had children" "he didn't" the centaur replied "But Queen May belle did a girl who is fifteen years old one year younger than you King Edmund" "When do we get to meet her?" said Lucy excitedly "Only Aslan himself can predict that my dear" "Oh but it's so awfully boring here" the valiant queen moaned "I wish she would come soon."
