“Then I fell at his feet and thought, Surely this is the our of death, for the Lion (who is worthy of all honour) ill know that I have served Tash all my days and not im. Nevertheless, it is better to see the Lion and die than o be Tisroc of the world and live and not to have seen im. But the Glorious One bent down his golden head nd touched my forehead with his tongue and said, ‘Son, hou art welcome.’ But I said, ‘Alas, Lord, I am no son of hine but the servant of Tash.’ He answered, ‘Child, all the ervice thou hast done to Tash, I account as service done o me.’ Then by reasons of my great desire for wisdom and nderstanding, I overcame my fear and questioned the lorious One and said, ‘Lord, is it then true, as the Ape aid, that thou and Tash are one?’ The Lion growled so that he earth shook (but his wrath was not against me) and said, t is false. Not because he and I are one, but because we are pposites.I take to me the services which thou hast done o him. For I and he are of such different kinds that no ervice which is vile can be done to me, and none which is ot vile can be done to him. Therefore, if any man swear by ash and keep his oath for the oath‘s sake, it is by me that e has truly sworn, though he know it not, and it is I who eward him. And if any man do a cruelty in my name, then, hough he says the name Aslan, it is Tash whom he serves nd by Tash his deed is accepted. Dost thou understand, hild?, I said, ’Lord, thou knowest how much I understand.‘ ut I said also (for the truth constrained me), ’Yet I have een seeking Tash all my days.‘ ’Beloved,‘ said the Glorious ne, ’unless thy desire had been for me thou wouldst not ave sought so long and so truly. For all find what they truly eek.‘ ““Then he breathed upon me and took away the trembling om my limbs and caused me to stand upon my feet. And ter that, he said not much, but that we should meet again, nd I must go further up and further in. Then he turned him bout in a storm and flurry of gold and was gone suddenly.
