*whimpers*

Narnia got urbanized. I feel horrible. Tirian is all, "God, it's good to be home, even when home has been taken over by a foreign invader," and Peter is pretty much, "This is not Narnia. This should never be Narnia. May Aslan forgive us," because Golden Age Narnia never had towns, let alone cities. The closest they got was the semi-permanent Shifting Market and family- and clan- groups of Narnians -- not villages, not towns, and definitely not cities. Because towns are for humans, and Golden Age Narnia almost never had enough humans to form something like that. *shakes head* Especially not the seething mass of urbanity that is Cair Paravel.

Poor bastard.

ETA: Gee, Lewis, thanks for breaking my mythological brain. Why are there, like, no male river spirits aside from the suitably vague "river gods", and hello, I'm not actually going to say "river god" in Dust. Naiad, yes, and I may just say "potamaeid" and confuse ten million people (ha, like ten million people read my journal). Except that the MALE river spirit is canon for book and movie. *growls*

La la la, Peter is having a crisis, Tirian is actually being useful, because our boy Tirian is a city boy born and raised, Eustace is...not doing much of anything.

dust deleted scene

This is the very first scene I ever wrote for Dust, back when I thought I was just going to be writing miscellaneous scenes from all over the place. (Back when I thought it was just concepts. Gee, remember those days? Sometime before I got 47K in?)

( You killed traitors, once, and she betrayed us. )

( Also, because I'm conceited, apparently, I am going to talk about it. )
