When I was about fifteen minutes form the palace, I remembered that I had promised Jonas yesterday that I would meet him in the Dancing Lawn this evening. I groaned, turning around. Thus was going to be a long walk.

*******

When I got to the Dancing Lawn, Jonas was already there, and I was pretty sure I was extremely late.

"Where were you?" he asked.

"Doesn't matter," I replied, sitting down. "Just went somewhere and didn't remember we were meeting until I was almost home."

"Okay," he smiled. Oh, how I loved that smiled. He sat down beside me, and I leaned back against a tree. I closed my eyes, breathing deeply. The Dancing Lawn is really far away from my mother's palace, and I ran about half the way. I was so tired that even sitting was somewhat uncomfortable.

I opened my eyes and looked to my left to see Jonas staring at me. Or, to be precise, staring past me.

I scanned the scene behind me to see what he was so interested in, only to turn back to him in confusion.

"What are you looking at?" I queried.

"Is it just me, or is the snow melting?" Jonas pointed to what he had been staring at, and I turned around in time to see a few drops fall off of an icicle. I averted my eyes to the ground and noticed patches of green grass in the snow. "And is it getting warmer, too?"

"I think it very well could be." I pondered the thought. Mother had said that an eternal winter was cast upon Narnia, but she wouldn't tell me why. How could it end so abruptly? Unless....

I jumped up from where I was sitting, and started heading towards the palace.

"Where are you going?!" Jonas yelled after me. I turned around.

"I think I know why this is happening!" And with that, I took off running in the direction of the castle.

*******

I was crossing the Great River (which is luckily still frozen, or this would have been much harder) when my foot suddenly fell through the ice. The water was cold, and my lower leg fell in as well, but I didn't think anything of it, and pulled my foot out, continuing to head towards the palace.

*******

As soon as I got to the palace, I rushed to the library. My leg had been in pain almost the whole way home, but I was in such a hurry that I didn't even care. I bolted towards the history books and opened one titled: Prophecies of Narnia.

I turned to the pages with the prophecies about the end of winter.

The first prophecy read:

"When Adam's flesh and Adam's bone

Sit at Cair Paravel in throne

The evil time will be over and done."

There was a long explanation about what it meant underneath, but I already knew what it said. I know about almost all of the prophecies. Anyway, I turned the page and read the next prophecy:

"Wring will be right

When Aslan comes in sight.

At the sound of his roar

Sorrows will be no more.

When he bares his teeth

winter meets its death.

When he shakes his mane

Spring shall come again."

So, four humans were here to help Aslan end the winter! I couldn't help but smile as I set the book back on the shelf.

I immediately began to feel dizzy. My leg began to throb, and I lifted my dress to see that blood was flowing from a long cut down the front of my lower leg. I realized that I must have cut myself on the ice when my leg fell through. I was about to go to my room and clean it up when I passed out.

Hello, readers! I have returned from two weeks without writing!

Yeah, so, sorry this wasn't posted when I had said it would, but I hadn't gotten to write much during camp, and once I got home, I realized I had left out key parts I had planned on putting in the chapter. So, I basically had to rewrite what I had so far, plus finish the chapter. Either way, sorry for the super late update. This chapter is dedicated to @NessaTheFangirl for giving me the idea for this chapter.
