Ooc: Hee hee! Yup, *Mirror of Erised*, its all MY fault!!

Clair smiled at Peter as he gave her the picture. She folded it carefully and placed it into a pocket in her shirt. "Thanks," she said, giving him a small smile. "I'll treasure it always," she said softly. She looked around seeing that their number was almost complete. I wonder where Aslan is? she thought with some concern. She hadn't seen much of the great lion, but she was beginning to get a soft spot for him.

Aslan gave the owl a small nudge with his nose. The Owl gave a weak "Hoo," and opened its eyes slightly. "Save your energy," the lion said softly. He scanned the Owl more closely and saw gashes amoung its brown feathers. "We must get you two up to the castle immediately and tell the others what you have seen. Come, we must reach there with all speed!" he said, taking up the owl. The Griffen nodded and took flight again, having regained some of its energy. They sped toward the Castle and soon reached the marble steps leading up to the Entrance hall. Navigating his way through the castle, he soon came across the room where everyone had gathered. He pushed open the door with one of his massive paws and entered. He laid the Owl gently on the floor and gave the Griffen, who had followed him in, a nod. "Lucy, we need your healing nectar!" he said, urgency in his voice.
