entranceway | I. video/action (dated to the dawn of July 23rd)

[ The video opens in darkness, the only sound to be heard the gentle movement of waves lapping against the shore. However, the very moment a tinge of light begins to creep over the horizon, a Voice begins to sing.

It is a Song the likes of which few have ever heard before. It rises as the light grows stronger, swelling with the tide and soaring as a bird may fly. It resonates in the air as well as the earth, a happy sound that could make even the most solemn of men dance to its melody.

The brightness of the morning spills over the waves, glistening with the newness of day. The Song crescendos finally as the sun peaks in the sky, only to diminish and fade into the sounds of the sea.

A few moments pass before the Singer finally appears. Great paws, golden and velveted all, appear first as he steps into view. A large, shaggy lion pads silently to the water edge, the breeze rustling its mane.

He stands there for a little while before turning and walking down the beach. ]

[ ooc: Please have a look at Aslan's PERMISSIONS POST before tagging! Aslan will be wandering around the beach as well as the outside part of the grounds all day. Feel free to run into him! He will respond to this video as well. Also, if you think your character might be able to detect/discern Aslan's true nature, feel free to have them do so! ]

[ He looks at her, a measure of softness in that tawny face. Though his roar can shake the very mountains to their foundations, inspire trees to uproot themselves and go to war, there is also great value in the more quiet aspect of his nature. ]

I stop for all who wish to speak with me.

[ Overlooking no one, there is no problem too great or too small for his attention. ]

What troubles you?

Really...? I can talk to you...?

[ Chihiro's expression softens somewhat - she had only come to see him, and didn't expect that he'd have any interest in talking to her, let alone helping her with her problems. ]

Troubles... I... I have my fair share of them, but... I wouldn't want to waste your time. There are people with much worse problems than mine...

You can.

[ He is interested in everyone, whether they be the greatest king or the meekest servant of any given household. He makes no distinctions. ]

The trials we face, the burdens we bear are unique to ourselves. Small or great is no matter to me.

...Well... I've made so many friends in this place... met people who say they're willing to protect me, but... sometimes I just feel like I'm being a burden. I want to be able to protect them, too, but... but I'm so weak. I've been able to help my friends, using my talents, but... I want to get stronger. I want to protect them. But... well, look at me.

It is the nature of friends to protect one another. Though not all are equipped to engage in battle, such strength does not always last.

[ Though his words are solemn, the look in his eyes is kind. Gently, he brushes the spot over her heart with the back of his paw. ]

It is the strength you will find here that shall not pass away.
