“So am I,”said Susa’s walk about a bit.”
They walked to the eastern edge of the hill and looked down.The one big star had almost disappeared.The try all looked dark grey, but beyond, at the very end of the world, the a showed pale.The sky began to turhey walked to and fro more times than they could t between the dead Aslan and the eastern ridge, trying to keep warm; and oh, how tired their legs felt.Then at last, as they stood for a moment looking out towards they a and Cair Paravel（which they could now just make out）the red turo gold along the line where the a and the sky met and very slowly up came the edge of the sun.At that moment they heard from behind them a loud noi—a great crag, deafening noi as if a giant had broken a giant’s plate.
“What’s that?”said Lucy, clutg Susan’s arm.
“I—I feel afraid to turn round,”said Susan.“something awful is happening.”
“They’re doing something wor to Him,”said Lucy.“e on！”And she turned, pulling Susan round with her.
The rising of the sun had made everything look so different—all colours and shadows were ged—that for a moment they didhe important thing.Then they did.The Stoable was broken into two pieces by a great crack that ran down it from end to end; and there was no Aslan.
“Oh, oh, oh！”cried the two girls, rushing back to the Table.
“Oh, it’s too bad,”sobbed Lucy.“they might have left the body alone.”
“Who’s do?”cried Susan.“What does it mean?Is it magic?”
“Yes！”said a great voice behind their backs.“It is more magic.”They looked round.There, shining in the sunri, larger than they had en him before, shaking his mane（for it had apparently grown again）stood Aslan himlf.
“Oh, Aslan！”cried both the children, staring up at him, almost as much frightened as they were glad.
“Aren’t you dead then, dear Aslan?”said Lucy.
“Not now,”said Aslan.
“You’re not—not a—?”asked Susan in a shaky voice.She couldn’t bring herlf to say the whost.Aslan stooped his golden head and licked her forehead.The warmth of his breath and a rich sort of smell that emed to hang about his hair came all over her.
