| THE LAST BATTLE Spoiler alert: Plot details follow! Shift the Ape dresses Puzzle the Donkey in a lion's skin and fools the talking animals into believing that Puzzle is Aslan, returned to Narnia. Shift leads Narnia in evil policies, which includes making an alliance with the neighbouring land of Calormen in which Narnian trees are felled and Narnian animals taken into slavery... "'No, no, no,' howled the Beasts. 'It can't be true. Aslan would never sell us into slavery to the King of Calormen.' 'None of that! Hold your noise!' said the Ape with a snarl. 'Who said anything about slavery? You won't be slaves. You'll be paid – very good wages too. That is to say, your pay will be paid in to Aslan's treasury and he will use it all for everybody's good.' Then he glanced, and almost winked, at the chief Calormene." When the animals challenge the Ape and say that Aslan would never sell his people into slavery, the Ape replies that Aslan is the same as Tash, the bloodthirsty god of the Calormenes. Puzzle the Donkey, who is still playing the part of Aslan, becomes "Tashlan", a hybrid god. Tirian, the last King of Narnia, attempts to intervene, but he is captured by the Calormenes and tied to a tree. He falls into despair, but then remembers that Aslan always sent children from another world when Narnia was in its greatrest times of crisis. So he calls out for help, and Eustace and Jill are sent from England to help fight the last great battle for Narnia. Click here for the other Narnia books. |
