|
Originally the 4th book... The Silver Chair is now the 6th in the series. Based in the year 1942 in normal human year count, Scrubb almost ran into Jill behind the gym, where she was hiding from 'Them'. That was when Scrubb told Jill of what had happened to him during the last lot ofholidays, and why he seemed a different person. Thier only hope was to see if they could make thier own way into Narnia. That was when things started to go wrong. After Aslan had given Jill a task and and Given her instructions to follow, it was time for he to go into Narnia after Scrubb. When she arrived, she realised how dull and grubby Scrubb, and how wet she was. Jill tried her best to get Scrubb to see if there was anyone he recognised or knew, But he was in a very dissagreable mood. It wasn't until after dinner and they were talking, that they realised that they had muffed the first of Aslan's Signs. After getting ready for a quick night escape, Jill and Scrubb met with the coucil of owls. That was when they heard the story of the lost prince, and it was decided what must be done at once. After the parliment had ended, Jill and Scrubb were taken, Much to Jills disgust, to meet Puddleglum. After having thier dinner, they help to get things prepared for an early start the next morning. Once on the moor, they rested for a while before continuing on. But now they had to walk past the giants which was not a pleasant experiance. After finding a bridge to cross the river, they followed the worn road, until they at last found Harfang. They decided it was best to camp the night and head for Harfang in the morning. While crossing the last hill in the dreadful wind, Jill found herself out of the wind in some sort of trench. But it was no use to them at all, for it did not go anywhere. After finally making it to Harfang, they were taken to the throne room and introduced to the king and queen. After meeting the king and queen, Jill, Scrubb, and Puddleglum, were taken to different rooms, where they were fed, cleaned and put to bed. By the time Jill was in bed, the snow had stopped, but it had started raining. After realising they had muffed the first 3 signs, it was time to work on a way out of the castle. After spending the morning in a very gay mood, Jill Scrubb, and Puddleglum waited until after lunch before trying to make thier escape throught the scullery door. It was during thier escape that they found themselves sliding down a rockslide, and being confronted by an unseen enemy. After discovering they were surrounded by and army of earthmen, the children and the Marshwiggle, were led through a series of tunnels and chambers, to an underground beach where they boarded a waiting boat. After disembarking, they were taken into the city where they met a knight in the service if the queen of the underworld. After having dinner with the knight and learning what the Queen of the Underworld was hoping to accomplish, Jill, Scrubb, and Puddleglum went to hide in another room while the earthmen came and saw to the prince. After the earthmen left, the Children and the Marsh-Wiggle helped the prince, and waited with him when the Queen returned. When the queen discovered the children and the Marsh-Wiggle with the prince, she wanted to know what was going on and tried putting them under an enchantment. It was all thanks to Puddleglum clear head and quick thinking that the enchantment was broken before it could take a proper hold over all of them. After dealing with Puddleglums foot, and resting a while, Everybody realised things were not quite right and that there was a strange sound coming from outside the castle. When they realised that there were enchantments surrounding the underworld, they all decided it was time to make thier escape as best they could. Golg the Gnome explained to the group, what had happened, and what all the earthmen were doing. Golg showed Jill, Scrubb, Puddleglum and the prince the way to the earth earth diggings that would lead them to the surface, and invited them to return to Bism with him and the rest of the earthmen. But it was time to leave as the water was rising and would soon cut them off. After discovering a hole high in the earth wall, Puddleglum lifted Jill onto his shoulders so she could see out. That was when she disappeared. After Jill realised where she was, and much confusion as to what was going on, Jill finally managed to get the others freed from the hole. With the prince already gone to meet his father when Jill awoke, it was time to wake Scrubb and Puddleglum, so that her and Scrubb could go and see the king and the prince before they left. While returning Jill and Scrubb to thier own world, Caspian and Aslan helped to sort out a few problems with the way things were run at Experiment House.
