Example: “Shift’s Promotion” by Ariel_of_Narnia
You question my authority? Do you want to tell Aslan that you question his selection? No, you don’t, and even if you did, Aslan would show you what happens when you question him. I didn’t ask for this job, you know. Aslan himself came to me at Cauldron Pool to test me. I met his standards, see – the wisdom of many years, the elevated intelligence of men (because I am a man, remember!), and the integrity of faithful disciple.

So do not question me on that or any other count, for to question me is to question him! Now, where is that Chief Squirrel with those nuts…?

I whipped around and battled the beast with my front hooves, neighing and whinnying a fierce battle cry! Then, I delivered a fatal blow to the monster. What’s that? Oh, no, it was quite nothing, really. I merely saw what needed to be done and did it! Reward? What? Heroism? Oh, no I assure you, that won’t be necessary…
