I'll Come Back When You Call Me...

Someday the grave and death will lose their sting (1 Corinthians 15:54-56)

There'll be no more tears and no more shame (Revelation 21:4)

And all our scars will fade away (Ephesians 5:27)

Psalm 44 

~3, 6-7, 20-22, 25-26~

“All we are is a  b u r n t  out shooting  s t a r …”

“Lost for the moment In the broad fields of sky, And oh, for the mornin’ that never shuts his eye, And I’ve gotta get back…”

susan recoils at the muffled words. she pushes herself away from the windowsill with shaking hands; unwilling to listen to any other horrid things the man that had come back to the house calling himself their parent would say to peter. 

she daren’t imagine what peter’s face must have looked like. she doesn’t think the words were meant to be as cutting as they felt to her. but all the same, they settle like lead in her stomach and her chest aches with every breath. twisting her hands into her skirt, she closes her eyes. 

how could he understand, she asks herself with a lump in her throat. he doesn’t know of the years peter and her spent raising lucy and edmund in a world so very far away. of course he couldn’t understand. the woman that used to be their mother doesn’t understand either. 

my brain: peter's characterisation in the prince caspian movie is the "dumbledore asked calmly" of narnia

“So clear is reason. But how dark imagining, Warm, dark, obscure and infinite, daughter of Night…”

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Golden Age

The White Witch has been defeated, bringing an end to the endless Winter that raged on throughout the Narnian Kingdom, and bringing Christmas back. The kings and queens of Old have been crowned and a few years later, they still rule on, safe in the Castle of Cair Paravel. The dryads look after their forests, the nymphs take care of what is theirs, the centaurs read the stars, the trees dance and the fauns play their instruments. King Lune of Archenland and the High King Peter of Narnia have made a treaty to bind the forces of Archenland together with a marriage. High King Peter will marry Princess Isla of Archenland in the future, and only a few know that he has already asked for her hand. When will the Narnians know? Rumour has it a surprise feast is coming up. Prince Rabadash has arrived in Cair Paravel in a war ship to sue for Queen Susan’s hand, and he continues to attempt to woo her. There are constant rumours flying about at court, though there are so many rumours that you should not believe them all. The people of court are like waiting wolves, looking for just one small mistake and a reason to fall upon you as an autumn storm would upon an innocent traveler.

Stretching all the way over to Archenland, Queen Camelia is keeping a secret from her husband that could change the future of Archenland forever, but King Lune isn’t so innocent either. However, something is happening behind the backs of the Kings and Queens. There is something being created in underground Narnia… a Thieves Guild. In the past, it had sat quiet and unknown of except for its few clients, but now it is expanding in members rapidly and some say it’s as old as Cair Paravel itself. It is mainly made up of thieves, pickpockets and people with a terrible past, but oddly enough the Guild does not want to cause trouble. Its members are bound not to kill their marks to get the desired item for them, and they do not steal from their clients. The armour of the Guild is a known sight to guards, but where do they come from? Little do they know that the place they’re staying is right under their noses.

So, let me ask you… What will your part in this time be?
