Day 104

 

At the conclusion of The Magician's Nephew, Polly and Digory bury all of the magic rings in the garden. A tree that grows from the seed of a Narnian apply is turned into timber used to make the wardrobe in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I want to link these facts somehow and create the setting where a house - The Kilns - has a large tree with magical properties growing very close to the front door of the house. How could that have come about in a logically coherent way?

Here is an idea for how the Narnian apple tree seed from The Magician's Nephew could have ended up growing into a large tree with magical properties growing very close to the front door of The Kilns:

 

Digory Kirke, one of the two children who planted the Narnian apple tree seed, eventually grew up to be the professor who lived at The Kilns. He carefully tended to the tree, and it grew into a large and magnificent specimen. The tree's magic was so powerful that it infused the soil around it, making the entire front yard of The Kilns a place of great enchantment.

 

One day, while playing in the front yard, Digory's young nephew, Warren, accidentally discovered the tree's magical powers. He was climbing in the tree when he fell and hit his head on a branch. But instead of being injured, Warren found himself transported to the Wood between Worlds.

 

Warren was amazed by the Wood between Worlds, and he spent many hours exploring it. He learned about the different worlds that existed there, and he met many strange and wonderful creatures. Warren also learned that the tree in his front yard was a portal to the Wood between Worlds.

 

Warren kept the secret of the tree and the Wood between Worlds to himself. He knew that the magic was too powerful to be shared with the world. But he often used the tree to travel to the Wood between Worlds, where he had many adventures.

 

One day, Warren decided to share the secret of the tree with his brother, C.S. Lewis. C.S. Lewis was fascinated by the story, and he used it as inspiration for his Chronicles of Narnia series. The Kilns itself is believed to have inspired the house in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

 

 

This is just one possible explanation for how the Narnian apple tree seed could have ended up growing into a large tree with magical properties growing very close to the front door of The Kilns. It is up to you to decide how you want to incorporate this element into your story.

 

Here is a possible explanation for how a tree with magical properties could grow near the house of the Kilns:

 

After Polly and Digory bury the magic rings in the garden, one of the rings sprouts a seed. The seed is carried by a bird to the Kilns, where it falls into the soil near the front door. A tree grows from the seed, and it inherits some of the magical properties of the ring.

 

Another possibility is that the tree is a descendant of the original tree that grew from the seed of a Narnian apple. The original tree may have been cut down and used to make the wardrobe, but some of its seeds may have survived. One of these seeds could have been planted near the Kilns, resulting in the growth of the new tree.

 

The tree could also be a manifestation of the Wood between Worlds. The Wood between Worlds is a place where all possible worlds are connected. It is possible that the tree is a bridge between the Wood between Worlds and our world. This would explain why it has magical properties.

 

Whichever explanation you choose, it is important to make sure that it is logically coherent and consistent with the rest of your story.

 

Here are some additional ideas:

 

The tree could be growing on the site of an ancient Narnian portal.

The tree could be inhabited by a nature spirit.

The tree could be connected to Aslan himself.

 

There are a few ways that you could link the facts about the tree from The Magician's Nephew and the wardrobe from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to create a setting where a house has a large tree with magical properties growing very close to the front door.

 

One possibility is that the tree in The Kilns' garden is a descendant of the tree that grew from the seed of the Narnian apple. When Polly and Digory buried the magic rings in the garden, they may have also buried the seed of the Narnian apple. The seed could have germinated and grown into a tree, which was then used to build the house.

 

Another possibility is that the tree in The Kilns' garden is a magical tree in its own right. It could be a portal to Narnia, or it could be a place where Aslan's power is particularly strong. The tree may have been drawn to the house because of the Great Aunt's presence, or because of the house's proximity to the Wood between Worlds.

 

A third possibility is that the tree in The Kilns' garden is a combination of both of these explanations. It could be a descendant of the tree that grew from the seed of the Narnian apple, and it could also be a magical tree in its own right. This would give the tree a special connection to Narnia and to Aslan, and it would explain why it is growing so close to the house.

 

Whichever explanation you choose, it is important to make sure that it is logically coherent and that it fits within the overall narrative of your story. For example, if you choose the first explanation, you will need to explain why the tree in The Kilns' garden is so much older than the tree in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. You could do this by saying that the tree in The Kilns' garden is a direct descendant of the tree in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and that it has been growing for centuries.

 

No matter which explanation you choose, the tree in The Kilns' garden has the potential to be a fascinating and important element of your story. It could be a source of magic and mystery, and it could play a key role in the plot.
