Ch. 4
THE LION, THE WITCH, AND EIGHT STRANDED
KIDS
Q: What do you do if you got dumped out from a bus into
unknown territory?
A: You pick up a guide map, simple.
We got thrown out at one of the transportation stations in
Disney World, which was complete with vending
machines and guide maps. I kind of wanted to stay there
until we found an easy way out... but, no. Suddenly,
there was a flash of blue-green light. We were being
thrown into the blinding unknown of a portal.
~~~~~~
I had no idea where the portal came from, I just
knew we were there one moment and then the next; we
were in a battle-strewn wasteland. (Don‟t think morbid
battle ground...think sunny picnic area!) There was the
roar of hooves and the clang of armor as two armies
pounded in from both sides. "What in-" I
began, but was cut off by Sarr.
"I know where we are..." he said nervously. "The
book, „The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,‟ by C.S.
Lewis. We have to fight for our
lives and for the good of Narnia."
"Okay, so this is bad, right?" I asked, raising
one eyebrow.
"No, this is really good; we just might die but you
know, this is the life!" Sarr rolled his eyes. Ah. Good ol‟
sarcastic Sarr. I had no idea how we were going to fight
knife to sword but as soon as we pulled out our knives,
they transformed into actual battle weapons. (Yay, more
weapons to injure ourselves with!) Sarr had a 4-foot long
sword, Bite had a mace, Max had a battle ax, Marlin had
a staff, Kate had a bow and arrow, Racc had a spear,
Jess had... well...she still had a knife but it was more
detailed and sharper (Better to impale me with) and I
had... I reached behind me and pulled out two double
daggers.
~~~~~
The trumpet of a horn-type thing echoed through
the air and the battle begun. I looked up to see two bull
things charging at me. Going by my instincts, I brought
my daggers up then sliced down in an X shape at the two
bull-boys, slaying both of them. I was about to pat myself
on the back just as another pair of bull-boys charged at
me from either side. As soon as they got close, I jumped
on their heads then stabbed both of them in the back. I
had no idea where I was getting these moves but when
you‟re in a life or death situation you really don‟t care.
Bite was running towards the White Witch even though
he didn‟t stand a chance of winning. He kicked a dagger
out of a warrior‟s hand and went at the witch like a
maelstrom.
The sight of a spiked club coming down towards my face
brought me back to my own battle. I intercepted the strike
and looked up at my enemy. This time it was a human in
full battle armor. I took a mental note of his attack
patterns then I lunged. My sword was an inch away from
his neck when a rock from one of his fellow warriors‟ sling
hit my gut. I doubled over and the warrior brought his
club up, ready to kill me. Just as the club was about to
come down on my head, an arrow seemed to sprout out
of his neck. I looked behind me to see Kate lowering her
bow. Max was surrounded by bull-boys. And guess
what? He did the stupidest thing ever.
Using the butt of his ax, Max slammed the side of the
cliff, causing a landslide. Though this had the desired
effect of killing the bull-boys, rocks were also tumbling
towards me and my friends at hundreds miles per hour.
There wasn‟t even any time to run.
I took a deep breath and braced myself for death.
