Title: deliver us (from thine glory)
Fandom: The Chronicles of Narnia
It was a great time, before the Queen departed. She made the world light and beautiful, cold with the snow and the sun reflecting off it. Sleighs and sledges pulled one along the surface; no fear of being caught by the softening of snow and the newly woken grass.
There were no complications.
Life is difficult now. There is competition and division, and children are lost every year to the heat. In winter it is cold, but there are always fires and blankets to keep Narnia safe. There is no escape from the heat now, as it blisters and cracks the ground. The water has stopped flowing and if it does not rain soon, the crops will not grow this year, and more children will die.
The Sons of Adam and the Daughters of Eve have delivered Narnia from the White Queen, but Aslan is a hard and exacting Lord and he will not accept less than the very best one can give.
Aslan demands nothing, but expects everything.
The Queen demanded everything that Narnia could give, but never hid it behind soft words and games.
It was a good time when the White Queen ruled Narnia.
