The Redemption of the White Witch
Inspired by C.S. Lewis's novel: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
In the snowy realm of Narnia, a tale unknown to many unfolded. The White Witch, Jadis, was not always the cold-hearted queen she became. There was a time when Jadis was full of warmth and kindness, a girl with innocent dreams of ruling Narnia with justice and love. But power, like a poison, seeped into her heart, and she turned into the icy queen, ruling Narnia in an eternal winter, no Christmas to break the monotony. This is a tale of her redemption.
One day, in the heart of her ice palace, Jadis encountered a small creature shivering from the cold - a tiny bird, Its wings encased in frost. In a rare moment, Jadis felt an unexpected surge of empathy. She took the helpless creature in her hands, using her magical power to free its wings from the merciless frost. The bird, rejuvenated, tweeted cheerfully and flew around the room adding life to the soulless palace. This act of kindness sparked a change in Jadis.
The walls she built around her heart began to melt. She started to question her actions, her reign of eternal winter, and her oppressive rule. The bird, sensing her change, stayed. It became a beacon of hope and a constant reminder of Jadis' newfound compassion. Day by day, the coldness in Jadis started thawing. She felt the need to right her wrongs. She decided to lift the eternal winter. Clouds gathered in the sky, the snow started melting, and the rivers began to flow. Narnia was bewildered. Flowers bloomed, and animals came out of hibernation.
The prophecy of Aslan's return started echoing. This time, instead of fearing it, Jadis welcomed the change. She hoped for forgiveness, she longed for redemption. When Aslan arrived, she kneeled before him. 'I see you, Jadis,' Aslan said softly, 'And I see your heart. Your journey to redemption has just begun.' With that, the White Witch’s reign ended, not with a war but a revolution from within. In the heart of the once icy queen, the warmth of spring blossomed. Narnia was free, and so was she.
