[Avatar] The Chronicles of Narnia - Terror Gold

I'll probably do a flood of avatar posts in the next few days but for now I'll probably stop this.

Fanfiction tends to be associated with bad, cliched writings these days, but the fact of life is that there are good, excellent, I-can't-believe-someone-wrote-something-so-brilliant fanfictions out there. I could do a whole post on fangirling certain Narnia fanfic writers (though I've just sort of drifted away from the fandom for a while now...not sure why. I think life took over), but this is the ultimate proof that I'm really in love with a fanfic: I make fanart for said fanfic.

The fic in question is Terror Gold by the brilliant, brilliant Lirenel, who is one of the my favourite Narnia writers.

The summary: Before the duel, Lucy explains to Caspian why the High King has acted so bitterly towards him, and why the Telmarines should fear the Golden Fire. 

The fic can be further summarised by the rhyme which is a part of the fic:

Two kings, two crowns
Silver and Gold crowns
 
Lost Silver stand strong
Silver of the right and wrong
Gold comes, terror Gold
Riding forth, fierce and bold
Silver tarnish, Silver dire
Burning west a Golden fire
How many does the Gold one burn?
 

A combination of the beauty of the poem and the chill I got from this fic meant that I couldn't rest until I made these:

[Avatar] The Chronicles of Narnia - The Call

There was once when I had the time and the enthusiasm to make a whole load of avatars, though for what use I wasn't sure.

I was just cleaning through my laptop and found these, and thought I would just post them here.


Regarding the Narnia film franchise, I enjoyed The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, hated Prince Caspian, except for awesome!Edmund and was bored and confused with Dawn Treader. But I do have to admit the theme song of Prince Caspian, The Call by Regina Spektor, is to die for.


So I made a bunch of avatars for it.

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry

I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before

All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye
