The last battle
C.S Lewis
fantasy

The last battle is about a old monkey named shift and a donkey named puzzle one day they were down by the river when they saw a lion skin and shift made it into a lion jacket for puzzle and then shift use puzzle in his lion jacket and tricked all the talking beasts in the woods that this was aslan and then he said that he was the speaker for aslan and he said that all the people had to bring him nuts and bananas.
Three weeks later Tirian the king of Narnia is sitting outside of his hunting lodge to escape the hustle of Cair Paravel. His trusted friend, Jewel the unicorn, sits with him as they discuss rumors that Aslan has come to Narnia. They are full of joy at hearing the news, though it is hard to believe that He has finally come. A centaur,Roonwit, approaches and bows to the king. Tirian asks if there is more news of Aslan. Roonwit declares that what he sees in the skies (for centaurs are gifted stargazers) is more terrible than he has ever seen. The coming of Aslan is a lie. This news outrages Tirian.
Tirian immediately sets off with Jewel towards the woods. He discharges Roonwit to gather soldiers and for him to hasten towards battle. As they travel along the river, they sight a rat, riding a raft on the river. He confirms that the logs are being taken to the Calormenes and that "Aslan Himself" ordered the felling of the trees. When Tirian arrives at the scene, he comes into the presence of two Calormenes who are driving a Narnian horse which is dragging a log. When the log became jammed in the mud, the Calormenes began smaking the horse, which spoke in its own defense. Outraged at the abuse of a Narnian talking horse, Tirian draws his sword and kills one of the Calormenes while Jewel the unicorn runs to the other with his horn.
Other Calormenes shortly discovered the slayings of their countrymen and pursue Tirian into the forest. Tirian runs a short distance but stops, feeling guilty of some treachery for killing the two soldiers. He returns to the Calormene camp and gives himself up. He requests an audience with Aslan but was taken before the ape. The ape, Shift, is completely adorned with all sorts of riches and clothing that server to give him a fairly ridiculous air. He commands the squirrels to deliver more nuts (Aslan wants them) and they must do it immediately. The squirrels ask to see Aslan and have Him tell them but the ape rejects them. Aslan may come out this evening, he tells them

Aslan wakes Father Time, who rises into the sky like a giant among giants. Father Time raises a great horn to his mouth and sounds the call. The sky immediately fills with shooting stars and a great starless patch forms as the stars fall to the ground around them. The stars in Narnia are people and they land, falling behind Aslan and the humans. Their light shines into the darkness, enabling the onlookers to see all of what was happening. As the children watch, all the vegetations are eaten by the lizards, dragons, and salamanders Then all the people and animals gather outside the door, either to join Aslan or not join him . The ones who do not join fade into Aslan's shadow, never to be seen again, to fate unknown even to C.S. Lewis Then the great dragons, salamanders and giant lizards grow old, die and rot into skeleton structures. Then the whole world  is consumed by a great flood from the Utter East, to the Utter West. Then the mountains in every location, crumble and fall into the new body of water. The water then reaches and hits the stable door, but does not pass. The sun rises, and it has become a dying red giant like the sun in the World of Charn. The moon rises and is consumed by the sun. Aslan orders Father Time to crush the sun like an orange, and almost immediately, the great body of water starts to become solid ice. Peter closes the freezing door and locks it, thus bringing an end to the World of Narnia.

However, Aslan leads them away from their dead world and into his own country. As Aslan leads the humans into the Garden within the Western Wild of the true Narnia, he explains to them the jolt they felt upon entering Narnia. He tells them that there was a railway accident and that they died in the accident. Susan Pevensie, however, did not die because she did not go on the train with the others. Her final fate remains a mystery.

I rate this book 7/10
