C.S. Lewis's The Last Battle

Tirian and the true Narnians and the children go further up and further into Aslan's country, and the story concludes as Aslan shares with them the good news of their ultimate destiny.

Emeth the Calormene tells the story of his love for Aslan while Tirian and company try to discern why the land where they find themselves seems so familiar and meaningful.

Father Time awakes and blows his trumpet as the stars fall from the sky and come home to Aslan. All creatures of Narnia are summoned to the Door and look deeply into Aslan's eyes, either passing into shadow or joyfully entering Aslan's country.

Tirian begins to explore the beautiful grassy country with the strange door through which you can see the stable, and the Dwarfs complain about their being stuck in a stable only they can see.

As the last battle of Narnia rages, Tirian sees his friends and finally himself enter the stable door. He encounters Tash but then a voice banishes Tash in the name of aslan, and he meets the ancient kings and queens of Narnia.

Tirian and the true Narnians battle against the forces of the Calomenes as the Ape reaps the consequences of his deceptions.

Shift announces "Tashlan" will no longer come out, but that those who dare can enter the Stable. Joy turns to dismay when the Narnians realize it is not the Aslan of their hope and faith inside.

Tirian, Eustace, and Jill now realize that the Calormenes are advancing on two fronts, and the Ape is now being used by the Tarkaan and Ginger the Cat for their own evil ends.

"The Last Battle" focuses on many of the same themes as the season of Advent. After exploring these, we do a brief jaunt into Athanasius's "On the Incarnation" and then study Lewis's recently-discovered "A Christmas Sermon for Pagans."

Tash makes a terrifying appearance in Narnia, and Tirian and company learn some devastating news as they prepare to go to Stable Hill
