BEHIND THE WOODEN DOOR [NARNIA-ONE]

Many stories have been told of the land known as Narnia, but none as strange as the one being told now. Years and years have passed since children have discovered, visited, and left Narnia. Many would say they've had interesting experiences with the inhabitants or even with King Aslan himself, but none have been quite as interesting as this.

At about fourteen years of age, Matt, a young human boy, constantly found himself being left with very little to do with his life. Too many times, he felt as though he was just ignored at school, and he seldom had anyone to come to with his troubles. His life at home never seemed exactly all too comforting either. He'd wake up, prodded by family, go to school, come home, do his chores, and usually end up in front of a video game console of some kind. He loved the video games, but he could only play them so long before he would tire of them. Day in and day out, he hoped and prayed for a change in his life of some sort. Anything to make what seemed like a boring life become a bit more appealing. It was just after Christmas when Matt would finally get his wish.

Matt's new games and new toys usually made him appreciate the holidays, but, for some reason, it was his father's gift that really caught his eye. As odd as it might have seemed to some, Matt couldn't help but like the look of the brand new wardrobe that his dad had gotten. He was pretty sure the wardrobe was more than double his size at least. You wouldn't think Matt would care about a plain old wardrobe, but, you see, Matt had a love of animals that rivaled just about any kid in his home town, and this particular wardrobe was literally covered with carvings of animals. Mostly though, a particularly interesting looking lion's face was carved into it.

With Matt having just gotten home from his first day back to school since Christmas break ended, he unlocked the front door of his house and walked inside, flipping on the lights. The house's front room lit up immediately, and the two story house came into full view inside. Matt slid his backpack off his shoulders before heading to the kitchen to get himself a brownie that had been left there for him. When he finished it, having watched a little TV while eating it, he stood up and looked around.

The room was still as ever, not to mention so quiet he could hear the kitchen faucet dripping. They really needed to get that fixed. With half an hour before his parents would be home, he wanted something to do. Then it hit him. For all the time, in the last week, that the wardrobe his dad got had been there, Matt had still yet to take a closer look at it other than in passing by the room. He decided, since he had a couple minutes, that he'd go up and get a closer look.

It took all of about a minute for him to climb the stairs and push open the door to his mother and father's room. Against the wall stood the large wooden dresser, and as Matt approached it, it seemed bigger than he remembered. He ran his hand across the carvings of the animals in the smoothed out wood. He did chuckle a little, as some of the animal carvings were mythical, not just normal. Reaching for the handle of the wardrobe door, something of a chill ran down his back. He pulled it open and looked inside; half wondering if there were animals inside it as well. To his disappointment, it didn't appear that there were any, just his father and mother's coats. Turning back around, Matt made to exit the dresser. He was stopped, though, by the sounds of what he was sure were his dad's footsteps heading up the stairs. Trying to remain calm in a situation he thought was sure would get him in trouble; he backed up into the coats, allowing them to cover him as he pulled the wardrobe door shut.

There Matt stood, in total darkness, as he heard his father enter the bedroom. Scared, Matt backed up again for fear that he might get spotted. It was then he noticed, though, that the inside of the wardrobe seemed to be a bit bigger than it had a moment ago, and... was that a cool breeze he just felt? Unsure of what to make of the situation, Matt hesitantly turned around again. His eyes met with a strange sight; what appeared to be a tree... no... a whole bunch of them; a forest. Confused, Matt stepped forward onto the actual land of the forest. He rubbed his eyes momentarily, unable to believe what he was looking at. Everything looked so real, but, how was all of this inside a wardrobe?

Still, curiosity pushed him onward, and he went a few steps more into the forest area, now having lost sight of where he originally entered the strange place. An even more curious sight came upon him as he continued on. A lamppost in the middle of the forest grounds with vines running up it. He stood there looking until he overheard voices nearby. Okay, so now there's a forest, a lamppost and someone else here. Matt quickly caught on to the fact that this was no ordinary wardrobe, or else no ordinary place. With the thought of his dad catching him still in his mind, he decided to see where the voices led, only to find himself in the direct view of a pair of cheetahs. He immediately stopped moving. It appeared, though, that the two cheetahs had already seen him, and walked over, their tails swaying behind them.

Still rooted to the spot, but now fearing for his life, Matt started shivering. He didn't stop until one of the two cheetahs had sniffed him, nodded to the other, and then locked eyes with him.

"Son of Adam," the first of the two said. "What are you doing here?" The cheetah looked at him, unblinking, as if unsure whether he felt Matt a threat to him or not.

'Son of Adam,' Matt thought to himself. "I don't understand. This is my... or I thought it was... my father's wardrobe." Matt looked now more nervous than ever. He felt certain, he was about to be mauled.

The second of the cheetahs walked up, sniffed Matt as well, and then nodded. "It's just as we've been told," he said. "Another Son of Adam has come to greet us. Say, Kai, do you think he's the one King Aslan said would come to help him."

Kai, the other cheetah, looked at him. "You know something, Vann, he just might be." Kai returned his attention to Matt again. "You said you've come from War Drobe? We haven't seen a Son of Adam or a Daughter of Eve from there in hundreds of years. Tell me, do you know where you are?"

Matt nervously shook his head, obviously still not understanding.

"This," Vann told him, "is Narnia. Many 'humans' such as yourself have been here, and all have had a reason for their adventure. I'm willing to bet you have a purpose here as well."

Matt shook his head. "I'm just trying to keep myself from being seen for going into my dad's room." Matt eyed the two cheetahs. It seemed a bit of a relief to know that, as things were, it appeared neither Vann nor Kai wanted to harm him, though he was unsure as to what either of them meant by an adventure or a purpose for coming. As far as he thought, he'd just been hiding in a wardrobe in his dad's room.

"Relax, Son of Adam, we don't want to hurt you. In fact, maybe you can help us." Vann said to the human. "You see, we have this King. A lion named Aslan. Usually he's a very strong, very brave, and very relaxed lion, but it seems there's something wrong with him as of late."

"He's begun to feel that others like you have lost the belief of our world. We've had so many children in the past come here, and he always seemed so happy," Kai continued. "But, up until now, he's been feeling like you humans don't care about us Narnians anymore. He's been feeling like he's... unloved."

Matt looked at the two cheetahs and hung his head. "I'm sorry to hear that, you two, but what is there that I can do?"

"That's just it. Aslan spoke of a human that he would hope, in time, would come to show him, and the rest of us, that our world hasn't been forgotten. You're the first human we've seen in ages. You have to come with us to see him." Vann looked at Matt quietly for a moment to allow him to absorb what was just told.

"Well, if it means anything, you can tell him I think this place looks really nice." Matt said.

Vann shook his head. "That's not enough. Aslan said he has to see for himself that he, and the rest of Narnia, still has a place in the hearts of you humans."

ALTERNATE REALITY CHECK [NARNIA-TWO]

Matt had to admit that the story the two told him seemed quite intriguing to say the least. He actually stood there for a good ten minutes while Kai and Vann explained more about where he was, who they were, and the story behind the theory that Aslan had. As he listened, he went more from being scared to being more curious about the land of Narnia, and the more he was told of it, the more his instinctive love of animals began to kick in.

"But, what if I'm not the one this Aslan is expecting. I will say I think this place looks wonderful, but what if it isn't me he needs?" Matt looked at the cheetahs. He didn't mean to sound as though he didn't care, but he certainly wasn't all that sure that some lion has been waiting hundreds of years just for him. Matt loved animals very much, but he found it doubtful someone with as much power as it seemed Aslan had would truly need to see someone as small and as young as he was. How could he make a difference?

"All we want is for you to come see him," Kai replied, gently nudging Matt with a light head butt. The cheetah seemed to have retained a calm, relaxed voice through all of this, but the voice did seem a tad persistent.

"Okay, but I really shouldn't stay too long. If my dad believes I've vanished, he'll call mom, and she freaks out at the drop of a hat." Matt looked at the two and walked alongside them as they started the trek to Aslan's Camp. He had to admit the scenery was marvelous. The trees were several shades of green; the grass seemed to have flowers everywhere; even the water seemed to shine a bit in the light of the Narnian sun. Everything just looked alive.

"We've actually got a long way to go before we'll even reach Aslan's Camp, so I hope you're ready for this." Vann said as he led on.

As they walked the area around them just seemed to grow in its' brilliance and color, and Matt was finding himself fascinated with all of it. He'd stop every once in a while just to get a look around. It wasn't too long before Matt found himself facing the company of another set of animals; all of which took one look at Matt and smiled.

One of them, a badger, stepped over to look closer and nodded. He turned back to the others before he spoke. "He is. A Son of Adam. Finally!"

"Excuse me," Matt said, hearing the odd reference again. "My name's Matt. But, who are you?" He squatted to get down on his knees so he could better see the animal.

"Forgive me," the badger replied. "I am Bardan. It's a great honor to see one of your kind here after so long." Bardan smiled widely as he looked over the boy, circling him once before Kai held him back.

"Mr. Badger," Kai said, looking at him. "While I understand you're fascinated with the Son of Adam's appearance, I'm sure even you know of the reason why he's here."

Bardan looked at him. "Well, of course I do. What with Aslan's silence for so long and not having had much company in a while, it's a wonder if the whole wood doesn't know of this."

At this point, it seemed that Matt had completely lost all sense of patience. Everyone he'd met thus far had been talking of him as if he'd been written into some kind of a prophecy, and yet here he still stood, clueless as ever, and now even beginning to think this was all just some odd dream. "Okay, can someone please tell me what's going on here? Why exactly is it that Aslan wants me? Why not someone else?"

"We've told you," Vann said, stepping up. "You're the first of your kind in hundreds of years. Aslan has to see you before you leave. He has to know you do care."

"If he's so powerful, he must already know I'm here," the boy replied.

Here, though, is where everyone got a surprise. "I do know you're here, Son of Adam, but I must see that you care. Please, I ask you to follow Kai and Vann. They shall not steer you wrong."

Everyone except Matt fell to their knees at the sound of the voice. Matt simply looked around trying to place where it came from. "As... Aslan, I don't quite understand what this has to do with me."

Aslan's voice picked up again. "Many things, including your reason for being here in Narnia, will become clear on your journey, but to get your answers you must move forward."

"But..." Matt tried to argue, but all he could hear now was the echoing of the word 'forward'.

For some reason now, Matt became a tad more intrigued about the land of Narnia having only heard Aslan's voice. The others all stood and looked at each other as if the voice that had just spoken was the answer to all of their existence.

Matt looked at Bardan, who dusted himself off before he met eye contact with Matt. "You should continue on, Matt." Bardan told him. "Aslan must truly know what he's doing to reach out to you like that." Bardan handed a satchel over to Matt, which seemed to be full of sandwiches, almost as if Bardan knew he was coming.

The youngest of the badgers, who had stayed quiet until now, stepped up to Matt offering him what appeared to be a very small blanket, which he pushed into Matt's hands with a smile, to which Bardan patted him on the head. "It might get cold," Baldur, the little badger smiled as he stepped back.

"Thank you," Matt said, as he, prompted by Kai, placed the small blanket over Kai's back. "Which way do we need to go," he asked.

Well stocked now, thanks to the two badgers, Matt, Kai and Vann trekked on. It seemed odd to the boy how everyone knew of him, and yet he'd, until now, never heard of Narnia. Be that as it may, it was starting to get late into the evening before Matt finally remembered his father again. "Vann, Kai," he spoke, "I should get home."

"But our journey's only just begun, Matt. You remember what Aslan told you, don't you?" Vann said staring at him as his head lay on his paws. "We have to keep moving forward."

Matt saw little point in arguing now. He'd been gone for hours as it were, and he felt pretty sure that his father would be no more or less worried tomorrow than he was probably right now. He let out a yawn as he covered himself with the blanket that Bardan's son had left them. He sat, staring into the fire that they made, quietly as he thought of what else he would grow to expect.

"Is there something on your mind, young one," Kai asked, seeing the look on his face.

"No, it's nothing." Matt said quietly as he lay down. "I'm just thinking about tomorrow and what else I'm going to end up doing."

It seemed rather obvious to both the cheetahs that Matt still had his doubts on his reason for being here, but at least it seemed, to the two, that Matt was far more relaxed than he was when he first arrived.

The three of them fell asleep beneath the Narnian sky that night with Matt, surprisingly being the first to doze off. As he slept though, it appeared he ended up with more than he expected.

"Matt," came Aslan's voice, but it seemed only in a whisper.

Matt's eyes immediately opened. He looked around, thinking maybe he'd just been hearing things. He closed his eyes again, only to be interrupted by Aslan's voice a second time.

"Son of Adam, listen to me. Along your travels here in Narnia, you will be given many gifts, and meet many creatures. I know you are who I've been waiting for, and as such, the task I ask of you, though hard, should be easily enough accomplished. You must remember the names of who gave you what and where you met each of your new friends." Aslan's voice seemed somehow authoritative yet gentle.

"But why, Aslan? And I still don't get what this has to do with me?" Matt stood, looking upward into the sky expecting something, though nothing came.

"A land such as this only exists if there are those who believe in it, can remember it, and can cherish it and its' creatures. Places last forever when the right one knows of them." Aslan's voice seemed to be fading out a little.

"Wait, don't go yet. What if I can't remember everything?" Matt said hurriedly.

"If you are who I think you are, you will." And with that, Aslan's voice was gone.

STRIPES IN THE DARK [NARNIA-THREE]

It seemed, though, that Aslan's voice wasn't the only noise he heard that night. As he lay there trying to fall back asleep, he could hear something in the distance. Something... no, someone groaning. Matt had to get up and investigate. Being careful not to wake Vann and Kai, he headed toward the source of the noise, only to find himself in view of what appeared to be a tiger on his back. "H... Hello?"

The tiger looked at him. "Hello, Son of Adam." The tiger seemed rather pleased to see him. "Come on over, I don't bite."

Against his own better judgment, though he was now getting used to the animals, he stepped forward. What he saw though immediately sent him toppling over backward. The tiger was on all fours staring at him, but had a full rock solid erect tiger penis. "What the..."

"Heh," the tiger laughed. "I apologize for that. I must have woken you up trying to relieve myself." As he relaxed, his cock slid back inside his sheath and he walked over toward Matt. "Name's Tig, pleased to meet you."

"Uh, pleased to meet you too," Matt stammered, still stunned with what he had seen. "I'm sorry I interrupted your... uhh..."

Tig just shook his head. "Think nothing of it, Son of Adam. With you here, maybe I can finish what I wanted to accomplish."

Matt gulped hard. Though he had an idea, all that came out were the words "What do you mean?"

"Let me show you," Tig commented. "Here's my gift to you, just lay here on the ground and relax."

Matt did as he was told, though he was beginning to get a little scared. He looked to see Tig padding over to him and rustling with Matt's shorts.

Grabbing the bottom of Matt's shorts with one of his teeth, Tig pulled them down toward Matt's ankles, doing the same when he saw the briefs Matt was wearing. "You're going to like this, I promise."

"What are you doin..." Matt's sentence was cut short as the tiger began licking his now uncovered cock. The young boy's body shook as he felt the tiger's warm breath on his penis. "Ummm..."

Tig just continued to lick Matt's cock, slowly feeling it begin to stiffen. "Easy, Son of Adam, I just wanted to share something with you."

Matt, at this point, didn't seem to be struggling, but it struck him as odd that he was feeling the way he was; especially considering everything he was ever told about what Tig was now doing to him was wrong. He couldn't, however, bring himself to ask Tig to stop, and, instead, actually reached down and massaged Tig's ears as the tiger continued to lick him. Why exactly he was enjoying this, he had no clue, but it felt pretty good.

Tig seemed to know that Matt was enjoying himself and now he had taken to gently and carefully muzzling his cock, sucking on it until he began to feel the fourteen-year-old's cock throb. The tiger began licking and sucking on the human's cock as he lay there. As Tig went deeper onto Matt, he felt Matt ramming upward into his muzzle. It was obvious that Matt was beginning to feel a bit excited.

Matt began to groan as Tig was earlier, feeling the tiger's breath over him. He jerked upward multiple timed before finally letting out a relieved sigh as he blasted his human seed into the muzzle of the tiger that had control of him. "Ohmygod," he said in one breath. "That was... wonderful, Tig. Th... Thank you."

"My pleasure," Tig said backing away, though he now had his cock unsheathed again. "Now, I wonder, would you be so kind as to return the favor?"

Though Matt had no idea why, he nodded his head in agreement as Tig lay on his back, now waiting for him to make his move.

Matt thought for a minute, letting the actions Tig had made replay in his head, then, getting between Tig's legs, he sank down on the tiger's cock. As he did, he got the rather interesting sensation of tiger precum almost immediately and, surprisingly liked it. He continued to sink down on the tiger, and his mind rushed with thought. Was he actually doing this? He was gulping down on tiger cock, and, surprisingly, it didn't taste too bad. As his tongue glided across Tig's cock, he felt Tig giving more and more precum, groaning silently.

"That feels good," Tig said, swishing his tail along the ground as he felt his barbs on his cock being worked over by the boy. "Oh god, does that feel good."

The youth just seemed intent on making the tiger happy. It seemed, much like the animals before him, Tig was rather friendly, and Matt did have to admit that it was nice getting to see what it was like being able to share something this intimate with an animal. Though he knew in his head that this wasn't right, something about it just gave more comfort to him than worry as he continued to suck on him. It seemed that he wasn't the only one happy either, as Tig was now gently humping the back of Matt's throat.

"I really hope you're ready for this, Son of Adam," Tig said amidst another groaning noise. "Because... I think... I'm gonna..." he roared out loud as he shot his seed into Matt's mouth which came out in one long stream of cum.

Doing the best he could, Matt just instinctively began gulping it down, only to find that the tiger's cum had a rather sweet taste. He continued to suck it down as if he were drinking on a straw, trying to gulp down as much as he could, only finally backing away when it seemed Tig had finished. "W... Wow," was the only word he could manage to squeak out.

"You will remember me, yes," Tig looked at him quizzically.

Matt nodded. "I don't think I'll ever forget an experience like this one, Tig. Thank you. This was great." He looked at the tiger with a softened smile, and gently stroked his cum soaked crotch, causing Tig to momentarily tense up before he relaxed. "Hey Tig, maybe you can explain something. I know I'm supposed to be visiting some great king or something..."

"Aslan," Tig said. "You should consider that an honor."

"Yeah, well, he tried to tell me something that I don't quite understand. He said I'd need to remember everyone I've met, and everything I'm given. Why is that so important?" Matt sat beside the tiger.

Tig looked at him. "Matt, there's one thing you must know. You may spend years at a time here, but there will be a time that your travels will bring you home once more, and it is that alone that Aslan has been thinking about. Those that leave Narnia, over time, either forget us or become too old to return here from where they came. I cannot speak for the king, but if I had to guess, he's testing you, to see if you truly are the one that can carry the memory of Narnia within the humans."

"But, why me," Matt asked.

"That, Son of Adam, I do not know. Perhaps Aslan sees something special in you that you yourself do not see. The only way to know for sure is to do as you're asked. We aren't all good guys in Narnia, at least not anymore, but we aren't all bad guys either."

"Wait, what?" Matt shook himself awake.

"We do have our share of trouble here in Narnia once in a while, so it also may be possible Aslan wants you here to help protect us from danger." Tig told him as he stood on his feet.

"Well, if Aslan's king then shouldn't he be able to handle things on his own," the boy said, sounding a bit curious.

"All I can tell you with certainty is that Aslan needs you, and for whatever his reason might be, you must go to him. You need to continue on your journey." Tig said, nuzzling Matt's leg.

"But, what if I get into a fight I can't get out of?" Matt said.

"You appear to have those two cheetahs with you. I'm certain they will be more than willing to help you."

Matt looked at him. "Yeah, but..."

Tig silenced him. "If it would bring you comfort, I shall come with you as well. I've been looking for a little bit of adventure anyway."

Matt didn't seem to know what to say at this point, and just stood there with his mouth open.

"You're drooling, Son of Adam," Tig chuckled.

"Huh, oh, sorry." Matt wiped the drool from his mouth and put his clothes back on. As the two walked back to where their friends were, Matt seemed a tad relieved to see neither had yet to awaken, and climbed back into his blankets, with Tig having curled up beside him.

ASLAN'S NOT LION [NARNIA-FOUR]

As a new day began, Matt woke up to Tig giving him a soft nudge. He turned over to see Tig smiling. "Good morning," Matt said sleepily as he stood. He looked over to see Vann and Kai still sleeping and decided it was a wise idea to wake them so that they could continue their journey toward Aslan.

Vann gave a bit of a grunt as he turned over; a slight amount of drool running down from his lip, which made Matt chuckle. "Good morning, Son of Adam."

This prompted Vann to push Kai enough so that he, too, awoke. Kai appeared to look no more a morning animal than Vann. He no sooner got to all fours, before he fell over again. After getting up a second time, he looked at Matt and smiled; noticing Tig behind him. "Found a new friend, have you?"

"Something like that," Matt responded. He rolled up the sleeping bag he had and stuffed it into the duffel he'd been given from Bardan previously. As he did that, Vann and Kai pulled out a few sandwiches as well for them to eat.

"We're getting close to where you'll meet Aslan, Matt," Kai told him. "Are you nervous still?"

Matt shook his head. "No, I don't think so. Not anymore. I think I feel safe here in Narnia. We haven't had any problems, and I haven't seen any reason to warrant me being as scared as I was when I first got here."

Tig bit into one of the sandwiches he had, chewed it up then swallowed. "Trust me, Matt. If there's anyone who you can feel safe with, it's Aslan. He's the wisest and smartest of all here in Narnia. He protects us all, and he surely wouldn't have asked you to come to him if he thought ill of you."

Matt swallowed. "I'm sure you're right, but I still don't know why exactly he wants me. He hasn't given me any clue as to the true reason."

Kai spoke up, looking at the boy. "Aslan's very mysterious, Son of Adam. He does things in ways some don't understand, but he always leads us in the right direction. He's never led us to believe anything he's ever told us was a lie, and he has reigned over us for quite some time."

"You told me that there have been other humans that have come to Narnia. How often do you see others like me? You said it had been a while since any others had come." Matt looked at his friends curiously.

"That's a tough question to answer, Matt," Vann told him. "It's been so long, most of us don't even remember the last time a human came here. Even if we could, it seems as though they never stay, and I have to wonder, personally, if that's what has Aslan so upset."

"So, you think the reason he's upset is because he thinks no one wants to stay here," Matt asked. "I can't see why no one would want to stay. It's a wonderful place."

"Not always," came a familiar voice. "There have been times in Narnia's past where those of evil intent have sought to destroy Narnia. We have had help from the Sons of Adam and the Daughters of Eve many times in the past, but they all find their way back home again one way or another."

"Aslan," Matt looked around, trying to spot him. "Where are you?"

"I am where I have always been. We shall meet very soon, and when the time comes, you'll understand everything." Aslan told him. "I will be waiting for you in Cair Paraval. We shall meet there."

Kai looked at Matt, straight-faced. "We should get moving, Matt. We could reach Cair Paraval by tomorrow night if we keep going at the pace we've been going."

Matt nodded, also noticing that, it appeared, Aslan's voice had once again faded away. "Lead the way," he said, pulling his duffel over his shoulder.

At that, the two cheetahs, the tiger and the human set off once more. The scenery proved to be just as beautiful as it had yesterday. As the four walked along, the gentle breeze blew, making wavelike appearances along the grass. The sky was relatively clear, save for a few light clouds, and the smells of the area around them were enough to keep everyone relaxed and happy.

It was no more than a few minutes of walking before the group ran into another set of Narnians. To Matt's surprise, it appeared that one of them was Bardan; the badger he'd met yesterday.

"What do you think about the... Matt!" He stopped mid-sentence upon seeing the human and smiled. "Good to see you again."

"Good seeing you again as well, Bardan, but... how did you get here? Have you been following us?" Matt looked confused.

"Nah, Edwyn here took me for a little joyride," the badger told him, pointing to the eagle beside him.

The eagle spread his wings and smiled. "Hi there," he said. "You must be the human that Aslan's been looking for."

"Uh... my name's Matt. Nice to meet you, Edwyn." He replied. "I... guess I am."

"We were just stopping for a rest when you showed up. How have you been," Bardan asked, then he noted the tiger. "Tig... you on this little adventure now too?"

Tig walked over toward Bardan and licked him. "Maybe I am, maybe I'm not." He laughed.

"Gah," Bardan rubbed the slobber off his face. "Wet tiger tongue... eww."

Matt laughed again. He had to admit that was funny. "Hey, I just got an idea. Why don't you two come with us to see Aslan?"

Bardan shook his head. "Wish I could, but I gotta stay here with my boy. Someone's gotta look out for him."

"I wouldn't mind coming along, though," Edwyn told him. "I haven't seen Aslan in quite some time."

"Well, welcome to the group, then, Edwyn." Tig actually seemed rather amused that the bird wanted to join them. If nothing else, he knew eagles had a good sense of direction and could lead the group right where they needed to be.

Bardan was just about to say something before his son ran into him. He stood up and looked at Matt. "Hey! Is my blanket helping you?"

"Sure is, kiddo," Matt responded. "And by the way, I don't think I ever caught your name."

"Baldur Badger," the young creature said. "Still on your way to see Aslan?"

"Yep," Edwyn said. "And I decided I'm gonna join 'em." He flapped his wings again. "You gotta promise me, Baldur, that you won't cause your dad any more trouble."

Baldur turned pink. "Aww, but I didn't mean to scare him. I was just playin'."

Bardan gave his son a hug. "Just the same," he said, "I'd rather not lose you again. You mean too much to me both as my son and my closest friend, kiddo."

Baldur hugged back. "I'm sorry, dad. I'll be good." He looked at Matt again. "You guys should get going. Aslan's waiting."

"He's right," Edwyn told them. "Kind as he is, he's not a tame lion. You don't want to make him wait forever."

After a few more minutes, and a couple quick goodbyes, the group, which had now increased in size, set off once more to Cair Paraval. With Edwyn now acting as their navigator alongside Tig, the group grew closer and closer to their destination. Each of the animals took special care to make sure that no harm came to their new human friend.

As they reached a cliffside several miles away, the two cheetahs cam up on either side of Matt. "There it is. It'll be another day before we get there, but Cair Paraval is just a little beyond that forest there in the distance," Vann told him. "And if you thought this area looked nice, just wait until you meet the creatures in the forest."

"Can't wait," Matt said as they began to head down the path that would lead them to the forest.

Early evening would hit before they had fully surpassed the cliff they were on, and, even now, Matt's excitement grew. It seemed that Matt had all but forgotten his father and the trouble he might be in for being in the room in the first place. As they reached the outside edge of the forest, they all sat down to rest for the evening.

"We will travel the forest tomorrow," Vann told Matt. "For now, we'll eat and get some sleep. You'll want to be well rested to see the King tomorrow."

Matt nodded in agreement as he helped pass out some more of the rations they had from earlier. After they finished eating, they all lay down for the final night's rest they would have before meeting Aslan.

The only one awake, though, was Edwyn...

NARNIAN MAGIC [NARNIA-FIVE]

Edwyn actually had stayed awake, leaving the others to their peaceful slumber. As he stood watch for the others, he caught something from the corner of his eye and went to investigate. He was very surprised however to find what appeared to be a little lion cub. "What are you doing out here alone and at this hour?"

The cub looked up at him. He was shaking like a leaf as if he was scared, but he was also holding something. "Are... are you friends with the Son of Adam sent here to help Aslan?"

"Indeed I am; why do you ask?" The bird opened his wings as a sign of friendship to the young cub, who promptly walked over cozying up into the feathers.

"I'm supposed to give this to him. It's a book. It's written in some weird language, but Aslan seems insistent that he gets it. I don't know why. Maybe he thinks the boy can read it."

Edwyn looked at the book as it lay there in front of him. "Interesting. I can't understand a word of it either."

It seemed that the two were talking a bit loud, as moments later, Matt walked up behind them, half asleep. "What... what's going on?"

Both of the two of them looked at Matt, but then the cub turned away, hiding his face in Edwyn's feathers. "That's from Aslan. He said to give it to you if I ever met you. I don't know what it is and I can't read it."

Matt nodded and looked at the book. Although the language appeared foreign, there was something about it that Matt found familiar. His eyes scanned the cover for a moment before he opened it, reading what he saw. "Once lost to a world of Adam and Eve, one will soon realize his greatest destiny lies before him in another world. He need only to accept it to learn the truth."

Edwyn looked at Matt. "What do you think it means?"

Matt just shrugged. "I don't know, but if I had to guess, I'd say it was about me. Maybe I should read more." Matt returned his attention to the book. "The Great Creature of the land feels lost without belief. The Son of Adam who truly feels in his heart that he wishes to help will find that to do so, he must change who he is, and let go of all he once had."

The young cub scratched his head. "It sounds like some kind of riddle. Is there any more?"

Matt flipped the page and continued reading. "I know you're reading this, Son of Adam. I know that you're coming, but your journey as you know it must now change. You've been on a journey where you've met many friends, but it is now time for a bit of magic. A magic that has been locked away along with the disbelief of our world."

"This is... Aslan communicating with us, but what do you think he means by magic," Matt asked, not really getting any answer other than more writing. "I must wonder, how much do you remember of what you've seen and the friends you've made. Would you enjoy being able to stay and keep your friends? Would you want to stay in Narnia?'

As Matt read the words, it seemed like everything, and everyone around him froze completely. Following it was Aslan's voice. "Do you?"

Matt looked around, but didn't see anyone else. Though he didn't really have to, as he already knew who the voice belonged to. "I... I do. I love it here. The scenery's so beautiful, and I've made so many friends, but there's just one thing that would make this experience so much more interesting..."

"Son of Adam, in the world you call home, you have a large fascination for animals that surpasses many of your age. That fascination has come to show here in Narnia. If you wish, for the duration of your time here, you can change your form to that which you love the most." Aslan's voice boomed loudly through the area.

"Aslan, so much has gone on here. I know I'm human, and I know I have a family, but nothing compares to what I've begun to feel here in Narnia. I..." Matt gulped. "I want to stay here... Here in Narnia... as the one animal I've truly wanted to be my whole life."

"As I thought, Son of Adam. So be it. You shall take the form of the animal you love most until it is time for you to leave our world." Aslan's voice carried through the area, and as it did, Matt felt something strange come over him as he found himself transforming into the one animal he always loved. A Siberian Tiger exactly the same as Tig, only blue.

"Aslan, how much longer until we meet face to face," Matt asked, now stunned at his new appearance.

"We shall meet soon, Son of Adam. Then I shall explain everything."

"You keep saying that, Aslan, but..."

Aslan's voice cut him off. "Just follow your friends and you will find me."

When everything settled again, the others looked at him, but they looked at him no different than they had when he appeared there as a human, almost as if there was no change to him at all.

"Wow... this is cool," Matt said, looking at his paws and swishing his tail behind him. "I'm a tiger."

"And the look suits you well, Matt," Edwyn said with a smile. "I told you Aslan was an interesting lion." He stretched his wings out again before the younger cub looked at him.

"I need to get back home before mommy worries about me," the cub said. "It was nice meeting you. Say hi to Aslan for me."

"I will," Matt said waving a paw. "By the way, what was your name?"

"Kentaru," the cub waved back. "Take care!"

When the cub was out of sight, Matt turned back toward Edwyn. "I will say one thing. With as much as I've experienced here, I can't wait to meet Aslan now."

"Figured you'd say that by now," Edwyn said. "Since you're up, why don't you climb up on my back? I want to show you something."

Surprisingly, Matt found he was indeed capable of standing on his back two paws like an anthro and walked over to Edwyn before climbing on him; holding on tightly. "Whenever you're ready."

Edwyn smiled and flapped his wings a couple time to gain pace before lifting off into the air. He kept going until the two of them were far up above the ground before flying straight at what looked like a nearby mountain. He touched down on the ground before turning to face the direction they came from. With an outstretched wing, Edwyn showed Matt where they were headed. "There... Aslan's home, and your final destination."

Matt looked in the direction Edwyn had been pointing and his jaw dropped. "It's huge."

"You're going to love it, Matt. I think you'll find you fit in there perfectly, especially with the way you look now," the bird told him. "It's been so long since I've been able to do something like this to help Aslan. I just hope that whatever Aslan is so down about can be solved with you here. He hasn't told any of the rest of us what's been on his mind. He's just remained quiet."

"I promise you, Edwyn, I'll do whatever I can to help make Aslan feel better. He just gave me one of the best gifts I've ever received. I actually get to life my life as a tiger... well... my life here anyway." Matt then remembered what Aslan said, and became curious to know if what Aslan said also meant that something would happen to make him leave. And right now, that was the farthest thing from his mind.

"You are a good kid, Matt. Aslan obviously sees that in you, otherwise he wouldn't have had us take you this far." Edwyn smiled. "Whatever happens, Matt, just know that I'll always remember you as a friend."

"Thanks, Edwyn," Matt replied as he looked out at the sky. "I think we should get back to the campsite.

"I think you're right, Matt," Edwyn said before spreading his wings again. A few flaps of his wings sent the two of them into the sky once more, and just as quickly they were back to the campsite.

Matt hopped off of Edwyn afterward and walked over to his sleeping bag. "Edwyn... thanks for that."

"Any time, Son of Adam," Edwyn cooed. "Now it's time for you to get some sleep. Good night."

"Good night, Edwyn." Matt replied before closing his eyes once more.

DESTINY MEETS NARNIA'S KING [NARNIA-SIX]

For the first time, it seemed that Matt was the first awake, though he only sat up before hearing some more familiar noises. His first thought was that it might have been Aslan, but the thought there was quickly shoved from his mind. He got up from his sleeping bag to investigate. The noise grew louder as he walked deeper into the trees, which seemed to gently flow in the breeze. Pushing the branches aside with his newly obtained paws, Matt looked to see a small group of animals who all appeared to be fighting over what looked like a mid sized bag of bread crumbs.

"I brought them, so I should get the most," a small bear cub said.

"Yeah, but they belonged to me first," said a slightly larger one.

"But I've barely eaten all morning," a wolf cub moaned.

"Unless you count my leftover jelly," the smaller bear retorted.

"Whoa, whoa," Matt said, walking in between them all. "What's going on here?"

All three simultaneously chimed in. "I'm hungry." They then resumed tugging on the bag until it finally ripped apart, scattering the bread crumbs to the wind.

"See what you did," the smaller cub whimpered. "Now we're stuck without food."

Matt cleared his throat loudly which seemed to have grabbed the attention of the others. "Listen, not to put myself in the middle of this, but I do have some extra sandwiches I could offer you guys to eat."

All three of them looked at Matt as though they thought he was the greatest person in the world. The youngest of the three of them jumped up and dove at Matt, knocking him to the ground in a hug. "Thankyouthankyouthankyou!"

Matt didn't really know what to say, and instead just got up with a smile. "Come on, follow me." Matt then led the three back to his friends, who had, by now, all woke up. He ushered the three to sit with him as he pulled a few sandwiches from his pack and handed them out. "By the way, I don't believe we've been introduced. My name's Matt..."

The older of the two bears nearly choked on his sandwich hearing this. "No way! You're the Son Of Adam that Aslan was talking about? He's been waiting for you. Man, you're actually here. He's been really down the last few days. You have to come see him."

Matt just laughed. "Yeah, so I've heard."

"Uh, anyway, I'm Byron, and that's my little brother Benton," the bear told him.

"And my name's Kujo," the wolf said, his mouth half full.

Edwyn yawned with his wings outstretched before turning to look at Matt. "We're almost there, Matt. Do you think you're ready for this?"

Matt nodded. "As ready as I think I'll ever be." Matt said before rolling up his sleeping bag

"Be sure to let us know how things went, okay? It'd sure be nice to see Aslan happy again." Benton said calmly.

"It'll be worth the wait to see our King smile once more," Byron added.

The group exchanged their goodbyes before Matt and his friends took off for Cair Paraval, beginning their final leg of the journey. As they walked along the path, it seemed that even the atmosphere appeared more friendly than ever. The trees swayed with the breeze, as did the large long blades of grass. The sun shone brightly above them with a blue sky accompanying it. By now, it just seemed that the only thing on Matt's mind was finding out why he was so important to Aslan. It took several more hours before the group finally had arrived outside of Castle Cair Paraval.

Almost immediately upon setting foot within the grounds, the group heard the sounds of several Narnians muttering, and almost instantly, all of them, including Matt's companions knelt down. It only took a moment for Matt to find out why. Matt watched on to see a large lion walked out into the clearing.

"Son Of Adam," the lion said, looking at Matt. "It's good to see you."

Matt had gotten the idea and knelt down along with the others.

"It's alright, Son Of Adam, please rise... all of you." Aslan looked at Matt and smiled. "You've made it. All of you."

"Aslan, sir, I've come all this way, but I still don't understand what you asked me to come here." Matt asked, looking toward the lion.

"I have my reasons for why I asked you to come all the way here, but the first thing I want to ask... Do you recall the important thing I asked you to remember as you got here?" Aslan asked him.

"Well, yeah, you asked me to remember the names and gifts of each of the friends I made here." Matt recalled.

"That's right, I did," Aslan told him. "And have you?"

"I... I think so, but why is that important," Matt asked.

"You'll see, Son Of Adam. For now, I must take care of something. Meet me back here in front of my tent, and make sure you remember what I've told you."

THE KING AND HIS LOVER [NARNIA-SEVEN]

Matt stood there, rooted to the spot as Aslan left, only budging after Tig had nudged him from behind. "I'd get moving, Matt. Trust me, you don't want to keep Aslan waiting."

Matt looked down at the tiger. "Aren't you guys coming with me," he questioned.

"Aslan has asked that we go no further than right here for the time being. He wishes to speak to you alone. Just stay calm. He may look fierce, but there's not a nobler animal in Narnia than our king," Tig said with a smile. "You'll be fine."

Matt gave a silent nod before turning back toward the tent. He walked toward it and felt the familiar breeze that he felt when he first entered Narnia several nights ago. He instantly knew why though, this time, and turned to find Aslan no more than a few feet away.

Aslan said nothing at first, but gave Matt a friendly smile, before padding into his tent, which prompted Matt to do the same. "Son of Adam, you must know by now that there is a reason I've asked you to come all this way."

"I... I believe I do, sir. It's because you're feeling as though Narnia, as well as you, have been forgotten by the humans of our world." Matt said calmly. "That you aren't loved as much as you used to feel. Everyone deserves to feel love, and everyone likes knowing that they've a place in their memory."

The lion nodded. "Yes, I see you have remembered what I asked of you well. So, can you repeat to me the information which I have asked of you?"

Matt looked at Aslan and nodded. "My friends. First there were Vann and Kai, the two cheetahs I met when I first got here, that provided guidance through Narnia to reach you."

Aslan gave a nod. "Go on."

"Then I met up with Bardan, who gave me the satchel full of food to sustain me for the trip here, as well as Baldur, who gave his blanket to keep me warm." Matt went on.

Aslan's face formed a slight smile.

"Then came Tig, whom I met late at night. He showed me the more... nuturing side of some of the Narnians while also offering me the comfort of protection along the journey." Matt added.

By now, Aslan had been sitting on his hind legs, listening to Matt.

"Then I met Edwyn, who I found to be with Balder and Bardan a little later in my journey. Edwyn provided me with a bird's eye view of most of the area I was visiting by giving me a bit of a high flying adventure."

"I'm impressed." Aslan told him.

"Wait," Matt said, looking at Aslan. "There was one more that offered me something. Although the effect of it came from you, the lion cub Kentaru gave me the book that unlocked the magic that made me into the tiger form I now have. And, although they didn't give me anything, there were three others: Byron and Benton Bear and Kujo Wolf. I had given them the remaining sandwiches I had when they would have gone without food."

With that, Aslan was back on all fours again. He stood there, looking deep into Matt's eyes as if looking for something. He said nothing for several moments, and Matt didn't dare ask why. He simply allowed Aslan's eyes to pierce him. The silence seemed almost deafening before Aslan finally spoke once more.

"Matt, you have truly demonstrated that you have a fond memory of this land that I do believe, and feel secure in saying, that you will have even if you should choose to leave here." Aslan spoke to Matt in a rather calm, yet serious tone. "And yet, there is, in fact, one thing that truly has troubled me. As you stated, everyone deserves a chance at love."

Matt looked directly at Aslan, nodding silently.

"I have not yet ever truly had that chance, Son Of Adam." Aslan told him. "No, I've been here many years, and yet I have not found one who has found me to be worth the emotion of love."

"But, sir," Matt started, "I would figure someone like you to have more than enough that would love to be at your side. If truth be told, Your Highness, I must say that I find you quite alluring myself."

Aslan raised a brow, as it seemed this was something he had not expected. "Please, explain yourself, Son Of Adam."

"Yes, it's true that during the start of this journey, I had no idea what I had gotten myself into, but I've grown to love it here, and throughout my journey, my talks with you have left me with a rather warm feeling." Matt sat down as Aslan had. "And now, I make it all the way here, and I'm sitting in front of what, if I may say, has to be the single most beautiful looking lion I've ever seen."

"Flattery," Aslan said, "is something I'm not quite used to."

"Aslan, I don't know if it was your intention, but I think, during these past few days, I have felt something I don't think I ever expected to feel. Love. I understand now why you asked me to come here. It was more than just wanting to know if I would hold onto Narnia in my heart, it was a matter of hoping my heart would lead me to you, to see you as the kind and loving King you are, and I daresay I have." Matt gave a soft sigh. "Unless I'm mistaken, Sir, you hoped I would fall in love with this World, or more specifically, with you, and want to stay here."

"You've picked up on a fair amount of my intentions in a rather short amount of time, young one. Yes, everything you speak is true. I had hoped to find the one human that felt so at ease here that he would want to stay, and in doing so, possibly see that I, in fact, was looking for love myself." Aslan padded over to Matt and rubbed his fur against Matt's tiger paw. "I would never ask you to make that decision, however. That is a choice you must make on your own."

Matt grew silent as he ran his paw along Aslan's fur. "Aslan, there's so much I want to know about this place. So much I'm sure I can learn. Is it... Is it possible for me to stay... here... with you?" Matt didn't know what kind of an answer to expect, yet he felt a calmness in the air around him that lead him to feel relaxed.

"I would be only too happy to have you, Matt. You may stay as long as you wish to do so." Aslan nudged Matt again.

This time, though, Matt's mind had processed the affection a tad differently, and he found himself needing to turn around, feeling semi-embarrassed. "Aslan..."

Aslan just laughed. "Don't think I don't already know what you're thinking, Matt. It's been on my mind as well."

Matt turned back around. "But... I mean... why?"

"To put it simply, Matt, I've been aware of your loving affections for animals since you got here. Do you not think I knew about your little night with your new friend Tig?" Aslan chuckled a second time.

"So you mean you..." Matt couldn't finish the sentence. Aslan had deliberately brushed against him a second time, and this time, Matt couldn't ignore the feeling and let out a soft moan. "Ohhh..."

Aslan very carefully knocked Matt down onto his back and licked his face. "Thank you, Matt, for seeing the truth."

"Thank you," Matt moaned, "For showing me that it is possible to have someone that loves you. Even if that someone is a lion."

Aslan said no more and licked Matt again. Aslan then lifted a paw and put it ever so carefully on top of the crotch of Matt's pants, which only served to make Matt whimper further. It seemed Matt got the hint, as no more than a couple seconds later, Matt's naked furry tiger body was fully exposed to the Narnian King.

Aslan seemed rather pleased with this, and soon buried his muzzle in Matt's crotch, which made Matt's cock poke ever so slightly out of the tip of his furry sheath. The more Aslan licked at Matt's cock, the more aroused Matt seemed to get, and the more his cock exposed itself. Aslan took the entire tiger cock within his muzzle, working it over with his tongue and warm breath.

For a thirteen year old, you'd have had to wonder where Matt learned how to control himself as this Narnian King had his way with him, but Matt just seemed to be enjoying the moment, occasionally reaching up to scratch behind Aslan's ears and mane. It wasn't long, though, before Aslan's actions began to make Matt feel the familiar feeling in his sac, and he began rubbing Aslan's ears a bit more vigorously as he felt his orgasm about to hit. Within a matter of a few more seconds, Matt let out an exaggerated groan as he fired his seed into the King's awaiting muzzle.

Aslan backed away to give Matt some breathing room. "How did that feel, Matt?"

Matt just looked completely floored. He couldn't believe that, after only a few days, he'd not only had sex with a tiger, but had sex with the King of the entire land he'd found himself in the middle of. He said nothing, but rather gave a nod. It wasn't until Matt noticed Aslan was now sporting a fully unsheathed and fully erect lion cock now. He looked to the King with a smile. "Sir... May I?"

Aslan smiled back. "I thought you would never ask." Aslan immediately rolled over onto his back, and Matt took his cock into his muzzle, working the piece of lion meat within it.

He licked and sucked the cock with ease as he had with Tig, and actually seemed to be enjoying the fact he was doing so. He could feel the humping coming from the lion beneath him, and bobbed up and down along the lion's cock, breathing his warm breath over it whenever possible.

"Matt... this feels wonderful," Aslan said, in what now seemed to be a far more submissive voice. "Please, don't stop."

Matt didn't. He continued to work the lion's cock up and down, over and over, feeling it pulse in his own muzzle before he eventually felt Aslan's paws pushing his head down onto the cock.

Aslan thrusted upward a few more times before he let out a stifled moan of his own, shooting his hot, creamy seed into Matt's muzzle. "Oh, Matt..."

"Aslan..." Matt said back.

"I haven't felt that in so long, Matt. It's hard to believe I've finally found someone to love me," Aslan told him.

"Yeah, well how do I explain to the others I just had sex with their King?" Matt commented back.

"I think you'll find that many, if not all, of them will not be very surprised." Aslan continued. "They all know of how I badly wished someone to love me as you have."

"Well, I guess I need to figure that out on my own too, huh?" Matt added.

"You catch on fast," Aslan laughed. "Return to me once you have seen the others."

Matt got up and headed for the exit to the tent. "I will... and Aslan?"

"Yes, Matt," Aslan answered back.

"I love you," Matt told him.

Aslan blushed a little "And I love you."

THE END
