Note: For realpestilence who wanted Rilian, devastated. The title is borrowed from the song by Peter Gabriel from the album Passion: Music for The Last Temptation of Christ.
Dead. No, please no.
Numbly Rilian let himself be led away from his father's body. Servants would wash it, dress it in royal garments, prepare it to lie in state for the people to see.
At least it is winter.
He turned his mind from the inescapable reality of decay. That was not his father there. His father was in Aslan's country now.
And I to be king.
Rilian found some hope in the thought. He had not devastated Narnia under the aegis of the Witch who had enslaved him. He could rule in peace, worthy as his father's son.
