[ The video opens to the woodlands surrounding Caer Glaem. Aslan rests not to far away from a shrine to the White Hart, which is visible in the distance.

His expression is grave, indeed, but his address is made with poise. ]

To those of you to whom I have never spoken, greetings. My name is Aslan, and I arrived in the drabwurld approximately a year and a half ago by this world's reckoning.

I speak to you now, to those who may be unaware, of events that may be coming in the near future.

Earlier this month, I dreamed a dream like unto the visions that came to a number of individuals at the turn of last year. In my dream, I saw great beasts made of metal ravaging the lands with fire. They destroyed everything in their path, and the light of their eyes glowed like unto the very Shards we bear.

I cannot say when, but I believe this vision will come to pass.

I give this warning so that you might not fear, but prepare.

The End comes, and we must be ready to meet it.

[ He lets his words sink in a moment, then- ]

Be well, all of you.

[ With that, he ends the feed. ]

[ Henry is absolutely amazed to see a talking lion. He's not surprised, though, because he's seen some pretty strange things in his short life so far. Still, this is pretty cool but he only takes a moment to acknowledge that fact because the message being broadcast is one he takes very seriously. ]

Thank you. For telling us. [ There's a somewhat somber and determined look on his face. ] I'll do everything I can to fight and help people.

[ ooc: Also filled out Aslan's permissions post here! ]

I would not have you unprepared.

[ Or unaware of magnitude of the situation. ]

Be mindful to take care of yourself as well.

[thetruestbeliever]

[ It's probably the kind of reminder he needs more often, really. ]

Me? I will, but my family comes first. And...anyone else who needs help.

[aslandish]

In that, you do well, young man.

However, you will serve them better yet by taking the time to care for yourself as well.

[ Well, the second part is true, he knows that on some level. He would tell both his moms the same thing, they have to take time for themselves. But the first part - ]

How do you...know? You said I do that well, but...are you just guessing?

[ If Aslan has visions of things, though, it makes him wonder if he can see a lot about his life. More magic. ]

[aslandish]

There are times I do not have to guess.

[ His does not see as clearly here as he did in Narnia, but some things, he can discern. ]

I know you care deeply for others, and that you would sacrifice much to see them well.

[thetruestbeliever]

[ Henry smiles faintly. He supposes he made it somewhat obvious, too. ]

I would. I'll be careful.

What about you - do you have dreams that come true a lot? Visions?

[aslandish]

I have seen many things that have eventually come to pass, though it is not always in the form of dreams.

[ In fact, most of the time, dreams aren't how he sees things. ]

I have never once doubted the truth of what I see.

[thetruestbeliever]

That's a really important gift.

[ Although he'd imagine sometimes it might not always feel like a gift. ]

What's it like where you're from?

[aslandish]

[ It is part of who he is. He can't consider it much more than that. ]

It is a land not so very different than this one. Spirits dwell in the trees and waters, beasts speak with the tongues of men, and many different creatures have called that country their home.

[thetruestbeliever]

Do you miss your home? I mean...do you wish you could go back there right now or are you glad to be here for now, to help?
