Then the Moon came up， quite in her wrong position， ery close to the sun， and she also looked red. And at he sight of her the sun began shooting out great flames，like whiskers or snakes of crimson fire， towards her. It is as if he were an octopus trying to draw her to himself in his tentacles. And perhaps he did draw her. At any rate she came to him， slowly at first， but then more and more quickly， till at last his long flames licked round her and the two ran together and became one huge ball like a burning coal. Great lumps of fire came dropping out of it into the sea and clouds of steam rose up.
Then Aslan said， “Now make an end.”
The giant threw his horn into the sea. Then he stretched out one arm.very black it looked， and thousands of miles long.across the sky till his hand reached the Sun. He took the sun and squeezed it in his hand as you would squeeze an orange. And instantly there was total darkness.
Everyone except Aslan jumped back from the ice.cold air which now blew through the Doorway. Its edges were already covered with icicles.
