[Comprehensive English and American] Ripples in time and space

"His name was 'Time' when he lay down to sleep. Now that he wakes up, he's going to have a new name," said Aslan.Although Kelly didn't listen to him as attentively as the others, Aslan's words were passed directly into her ears as if by magic.Besides, if someone else spoke, she didn't pay attention at all—because she was in a state of great shock right now.

She faced a world that was also constructed directly from magic—but a world that was on the verge of destruction.It's like when a person is healthy, his body is plump; when he is old and dying, and only skin and bones are left, the shape of the bones can be clearly displayed.This was the case before her.

The bones of the world are revealed.Every one of the most profound and fundamental magic rules has faintly revealed their existence, and the things in the world are too barren to cover them up.Then the giant named Time raised the horn to his mouth and blew long.They couldn't hear the sound of the horn, but Kelly felt a shiver run down her spine: she couldn't hear it, but she could feel it, and it was the magic rules of "time" fluctuating, passing round and round like sound waves. Open, and then transmit the fluctuations where it meets other rules. The law of "space" also fluctuated, the night sky shook for a while, and the stars fell down.At first one or two, followed by a series, thousands of stars draw silvery white lines, each line is like the most beautiful equation in mathematics, revealing the essence of magic rules.

Where the starry sky falls, the universe is collapsing, as if a person is dead, the skin and flesh are rotting, exposing the bones underneath.But those most magnificent laws were only revealed for a moment, and then began to collapse and annihilate, leaving behind large swaths of darkness in the sky—after darkness there is pure emptiness.

The meteor shower has been going on for a long time.In the end, the silver-white stars fell directly beside them, turning into silver human figures.That's where the two laws meet - "space" and "everything".Then, like dominoes, the volatility is passed down.In the flash of a shooting star, the silhouette of a gigantic monster can be glimpsed, followed by a commotion in the night, thousands of creatures—people, animals, gods and monsters, talking and dumb—competing for the first place The earth rushed to the high ground, and finally poured into the door.Some stood to Aslan's right, and others, ugly in nature, were swallowed by the shadows on Aslan's left.

But Kelly didn't pay attention.Because the fluctuations are conveyed to the top of the four rules at the same time - "water", "fire", "wind" and "earth".She watched the land turn into barren almost in an instant, the forests, castles and even the ruins were quickly weathered and disappeared in an instant, revealing white rocks on the ground, like bones.The flood surged up to the door.The sun and the moon rose on the sea one after another, and the light entangled with each other, and then went out.It was pitch black.

The law of "death" has finally arrived.There are no other laws in the universe—this world is destroyed, just as all the quantum on the earth no longer violates the laws of physics—the entire universe is just chaos and void.

"Peter, High King of Narnia," said Aslan, "close the door."

Only then did Kelly suddenly wake up from the great magic rules.She was so intoxicated by it that she didn't know how long it had passed.The world opposite the door was already dark, and there was the unique coldness of death. Everyone standing in the front row had their teeth chattering from the cold, and Peter's steps were a little stiff when he walked forward.Kelly opened her fingers lightly, and a gust of warm wind suddenly blew towards the door frame, pushing back the piercing cold wind on the opposite side. Peter gave her a grateful look and closed the door.

"Come, run deeper! Come, run higher!" Aslan shouted.With one leap, he jumped out nimbly, and then shot towards the distance like a golden arrow.

"Aslan!" There were shouts from an unknown number of people in the crowd, and everyone ran after him, and no one could catch up with him—only Kelly caught his movement: that was not a real run , but more like jumping and shuttling in space.After a few ups and downs, his figure disappeared into the distance.But these few strokes were enough: Kelly ran after her, just like Aslan, her running didn't look fast, but it seemed that every step could move a long distance, and she disappeared into the distance after a while .Of course, this situation is only temporary: this world is purely made up of the laws of magic, and she is able to do this. In any other world, it is impossible for her to reproduce the magic she can do now; let alone this world alone , is still a newborn world, and it is very possible that the world will continue to grow and improve in the future, and the laws will gradually disappear.But now, Kelly is just running after her.She ran across the grassland, stepped across the water, and crossed the mountains lightly, and all the terrains just passed by like a flicker of water.Finally, she came to the top of a towering snow-capped mountain.On the top of the hill was a huge golden gate. Aslan stopped at the gate and turned around.

"Daughter of Eve," he asked in a low voice, "what's your problem?"

"Thanks to your grace, I have seen the laws of the world, I have seen time and space, stars, all things, nature, elements, chaos, and finally death and death." Kelly said, "But what about 'rebirth'?"

"You have delved too deeply into the laws of magic," said Aslan. "Forget them, my boy."

"I don't understand." Kelly lowered her head slightly and asked.

Aslan was silent for a moment before speaking slowly, his voice became deeper and more distant: "I know why you are obsessed with pursuing the law of 'rebirth', and I also know that you understand the purpose of this law. However, if If you continue like this, you will be killed by this attachment."

"Is this your advice? Or is it a prophecy?" Kelly asked.Ironically, this sentence was originally asked by others, and she never imagined that she would ask it one day.

"You do not belong to my world, and I cannot predict your fate," said Aslan, "but it is a fact that can be clearly seen. No magic can reverse the laws of the world, let alone the laws of life and death. And you The magic, Kelly, is evil magic. Its inability to bring back the dead is the price of its evil nature."

"I know that even blood magic cannot bring the dead back to life. Of all the recorded cases, none of them were successfully resurrected. The resurrected people were either possessed by demons or became walking dead." Kelly said, "But if you know why I am so persistent At this point, you will know why I can't give up. I have experienced many partings and losses, and I know how easy it is to lose. And I have people who can't lose. Everyone has people who can't lose. I have been to In the two magical worlds I have lived, I have stood at the pinnacle of magic—at least the study of spells. So I hope to explore what lies beyond, and I want to know whether the power of magic can transcend life and death. You ask, because although the essence of these two worlds is different, the essence of magic is similar. So, please tell me - if this is determined by its evil essence, can this doomed result be reversed? Or can this price be shifted?"

Aslan stared at him, and Kelly met his gaze without flinching.The Lion King's gaze made her feel like a light on her back—it was not an illusion, she really felt that her whole body was stabbed by his gaze, as if Aslan's gaze had substance.They stared at each other silently for an unknown amount of time, Kelly gritted her teeth and did not look away.At last Aslan turned his head away, and let out a soft sigh.When he turned his head again, his eyes were already full of sadness and softened.

"I know your determination, daughter of Eve," he said, "then come with me, this is not a topic that should be heard by others."

He gave the golden door a little push with his front paw, and it opened, and inside stood a well-armed Mouse, in armor, stooping and bowing grandly to Aslan.

"The people of Narnia are coming at once, please show them the way, Reepicheep," said Aslan.

"Yes, I promise to complete the task, Your Highness!" It squealed and bowed again, as if accepting the supremely honorable mission—maybe this is indeed a supremely glorious mission, Kelly doesn't understand .She followed Aslan into the golden gate, and the great gate closed itself behind them.Kelly followed Aslan to the garden wall. Standing on the top of the wall, she could see people and animals swimming happily in the waterfall in the distance, chasing Aslan's footsteps.

No third person heard and never knew what they talked on the wall--this new Narnia world preserved all the good things in the original Narnia, the heroes of the history- —King Caspian, Tumnus the Faun, the Beavers... Even the first King and Queen of Narnia lived here.But no creature dared to disturb Aslan's private conversation with the others.They only knew that this conversation was not long, but when they finished talking, the large army that was left behind approached.Before the golden gate opened for the second time, Kelly and Aslan walked down from the city wall, her face was calm and determined, as if a question that had been bothering her for a long time had finally been answered; Aslan There seemed to be some sadness in Lan's eyes.Tumnus was going to step forward to ask what was going on, but Kelly and Aslan did not stop.Aslan jumped towards the ridge stretching into the distance, and Kelly chased his figure away again.
