When I was a small girl, right after we had been newly crowned - perhaps only two or three months after the coronation, so I was eight years old, I got terribly lost. You see, my guard then were not so strict with watching me. They had thought I would not get lost so easily, or that I would not wander away. But even then I was a menace, and so I did.
I was a newly crowned queen and I had very little experience of my own country, for reasons of war, and so I found myself near a river we in Narnia call the Glass River for it's clearness and it's loveliness. And I knew it poorly, so I wandered up the way, until I came by an old cave. It was growing dark then.
It was so dark when I found my way inside, it was like night, and the river cut in that cave, and that was when I tripped and fell in and something incredible happened. The entire cave lit up, blue and bright, the water beneath me illuminated as though by stars. It was deep and wide and wild, a dark night with brilliant stars throughout.

Have you known of such things?
