Narnia AU - snippet 3
It was the lamp post that first struck her, illuminated wrought icon, erect and piercing. The landscape seemed to collapse in around it as if knifed by the sheer contrast.
Lucy approached with reverence, flushed with excitement, chilled with terror. She wouldn't touch she just, just wanted to look. Turning swiftly, she found the bit of brush they'd first stepped through, and the forgotten memories ran down her spine, a frozen river melting from the very furthest chasm of her mind.
This is where it'd been, when she'd brought them home.
Mr. Tumnus inched into her periphery, nervous and eager, and Lucy took his hand with a soft smile, grateful to be on the right road at last.
She gave the lamp post another glance, the coal black glinting at her in the ever falling snow. It was a compass, pointing straight into the sky, scrapping at the grey and dying clouds.
Change was coming at last.
Lucy closed her eyes, stretched out her arms, and let Tash lead her.
Goodbye, Narnia, the once free north.
