In the world of Narnia, there's no shortage of fantastic and memorable creatures, whether it's noble unicorns, rebellious, beavers, shifty, apes, fierce, and tars, the list goes on and on.
But by far for a large swath of Narnia fans, there's one fantastic creature that stands out above the rest.
One that's universally beloved admired, respected, and in some cases revered, of course, I'm talking about the mighty mouse serv.
Today, we're going to examine a life of repeat sheep, the mouse.
And while we be chiefs, life only spans across two books in the Narnian series.
His story actually runs throughout the history of Narnia from the first book to the very last, but before we do, I want to give you a quick update about this channel.
After taking a long pause over the holidays, I've heard from a lot of you that you'd like episodes to be released more regular.
So instead of posting an episode every month or so I'm considering posting every two weeks.
Now this is going to take a lot of work and it's a big commitment.
So I need to know if it's something you think is worthwhile.
I need you to show me.
And the best way to do that is by helping me reach 15,000 subscribers that this channel reaches 15,000 subscribers in the next week.
I'll commit to releasing a new video every two weeks for the next six episodes.
So if you haven't already subscribed, go ahead and do it now.
Okay.
That's enough of that.
There's a lot to get into today.
So let's get started.
It's time to leave the Shadowlands behind and step into a world.
That's more real than our own it's time to follow me into the war.
Repeat chief, the mouse was born during the Narnian age of the tail Marine conquest would span from Narnia year 1998 until the year 2303, when Caspian the 10th.
Finally, over through the usurper Lord morass and reclaim the throne as the king of Narnia.
This was a dark time in Narnia, his history as the tele Marines, align themselves with the wicked nation of.
They abandoned care pair of bell as the nation's capital and worst of all, they eradicated all talking animals and other non-human creatures from the boundaries of Narnia.
Those that survive to refuge in the forest surrounding human settlements and were eventually forgotten, dismissed by the humans as nothing more than old legends and fairytales.
These surviving creatures will begin to refer to themselves as the old norm.
So it was in the relative safety of these dense, quiet woods and Glens that repeat sheep.
The mouse was born.
Not much is not about Ruth's childhood, but it was during this time that as a young child, weepy chief's life would be forever changed by a simple lullaby.
It was then that a friendly Dryad would rock reaped asleep, singing the simple song where sky and water meet, where the waves grow.
Sweet doubt not we be cheap.
Defined all.
There is the utter east.
Repeat chief, never forgot that song, even though he didn't understand its meaning, it called out to him his entire life.
And in time he would discover that it was more than just a lullaby.
It was a prophecy now by the next time Narnia and history records repeat sheep.
We meet him as a young man in the Narnian year, 2303.
During this time, prince Caspian had also fled to the Narnia.
He did this in order to escape his wicked uncle morass, who was plotting to murder him while he was in hiding the golden age Kings and Queens of Narnia.
The Kevin seas had been summoned back from their world to help overthrow morass and Caspian.
And Peter were traveling the countryside along with the Badger truffle hunter and the door's Nica, brick and trumpet.
They were often search of the hidden Narnians of old, in an attempt to raise up an army to defeat.
And it was on this tour that they came to a small borough in the hillside on the edge of a warm green meadow out of this borough popped a mouse, but not just any mouse.
Of course, he stood nearly a foot tall on his hind legs and had ears nearly as long as a rabbits, this of course was repeat sheep.
He carried his signature rapier sword, but many people would be surprised to know that he was not yet wearing his signature red feather on his head.
That would come.
Presumably to signify an important achievement, which we'll discuss later as well.
Now, when Ruby chief appeared to the party, Caspian was quite surprised after all.
He'd never seen such a huge mouse before, particularly one who could talk now, Peter, however, was quite familiar with them.
In fact, he held them in high regard as he knew how they came to Narnia in the first place you see for the first several thousand years, there weren't actually any talking mice in.
Just wild, dumb, regular run of the mill rodents.
When Aslan had given himself the Jadas, the white witch to be sacrificed on the stone table, he had been bound with ropes before he was shaved and beaten the next morning as Asluns body lay dead and bound on the stone table.
A group of common dumb mice came and shooed the ropes free and a simple gesture of compassion and kindness.
It was because of this act that the resurrected Azlan turned them into talking mice, the first of repeat chiefs ancestors.
And so whether or not he knew it reap came from a long line of noble creatures.
And so the noble repeat sheep as the chief of his people and the leader of a small band of 11 other mice enlisted himself his second in command PPG and the rest of his company into the service of Caspian's.
And while they look small, they prove that looks can be deceiving.
We be cheap.
And as company of mice prove their worth by fighting in the second battle of Baruna, which also took place in the Narnian year, 2303, their primary fighting tactic was to attack the feet of their enemies with a swift blow from their swords.
This technique was very effective, a great many Tel Marine soldiers fell to their blows.
And when they fell the mice.
Those that didn't fall we're slowed down enough to be taken out by larger Caspian fighters.
And when the final blow was dealt that day Caspian's army had defeated morass and taken back the Narnian throne, but the victory was not without casualties.
Repeat sheep was mortally wounded and laid dying on the battlefield.
A few drops from Lucy's magic healing cordial saved his life that day, but he discovered that his tail had been cut.
And while as Lynn insisted that the scar was quite becoming reburied, chief explained that a mouse's tail was his highest symbol of honor, though, as Lynn said, that he sometimes wondered whether repeat sheep thought too much of his own honor, as him
was moved by the love of freebie chiefs, people and granted reaps request fully restoring his tail before Azlan had even finished speaking because of his leadership in battle, we beat, she was knighted by Caspian into the knighthood of the order of the.
From then on, he was known as servery, be cheap bound to protect and defend Narnia.
As the nation entered into a new age where Caspian was now king and were Narnia would henceforth belong to the talking beasts and the dwarves and the dry ads and Fonz and other creatures quite as much as to the men, repeat sheep makes a final grand gesture at the end of prince Caspian as the Tel Marines prepare yet fearfully hesitate to walk through Asluns interdimensional.
Which would take them out of Narnia and into our world in order to set an example to the fearful, tell Marines, repeat cheap offers to take the lead.
And while Azlan tells, reap that it's the others that must lead this time.
There's no doubt that the little mouse had once again, shown himself to be bigger than anyone in the crowd and the Narnian year 2306, repeat cheap.
Join the now king Caspian aboard the decks of the great ship Dawn Treader, which set out on its famous voyage to find the seven Los Lords of.
It's during this journey that repeat chief has reunited with Lucy Edmund and along with our cousin Eustace who have once again unexpectedly been brought into Narnia in a surprising way.
Sometime during the years that had passed Reepicheep, must've gone through quite a growth spurt because now he had doubled in size to about two feet.
And he's finally done his signature gold headband and red feather, which is presumably a sign of his new found status as a Royal Knight.
Now, repeat sheep had obviously attained a high status with the king and he served as one of Caspian's most wise and trusted advisers, his fearless encouragement and astute observations played a crucial role in the success of the Don trader's mission to the.
The fate of a lost Lords, but that was not grippy.
Chief's greatest motivation on this journey.
Caspian revealed that repeat sheep had been driven for many years by an almost inescapable desire to fulfill the prophecy that had been sung over him long ago to reach the outer east and then to ASINs country reburied sheep, along with the rest of the Dawn Treader crew discovered many islands, which had been unknown to most of the Western world.
He was almost certainly the first talking mouse to set foot on these islands.
There was dragon island, burnt island, death, water land of the Duffers dark island.
Although technically he didn't step foot there.
And finally, Rehmann do's island where the crew finally discovered the last two lost Lords who were both trapped under a powerful sleeping and chairman.
Now it was on revenue's island that repeat chief discovered that there was a greater reason for the prophecy that had been sung.
For as that ancient star explained in order for the enchantment on the loss Lords to be broken, the crew would indeed have to sail to the end of the world.
And one of them would have to continue on even beyond there never to return again.
When repeat chief heard that he knew that he had been destined from birth to be the one who would break this spell.
And in fact it was his heart's desire.
And so repeat cheap sailed on with a small contingency towards the.
They sailed through the realm of the underwater kingdom of the sea people into the still waters of the Lily covered sea until they ran a ground at the edge of the world whose boundary was marked by a giant standing wave would serve as both a barrier and a bridge to Asluns country.
After saying his goodbyes to Lucy, Edmund, Eustace, and Caspian repeat chief drew his sword one final time and saying, I won't be needing this.
He cast it into the sea where it landed up, he boarded a small coracle and let the current carry him straight up the wave until he disappeared from sight.
And in doing so the spell was lifted and the Lords were awakened.
Now, some may say that while repeat, she was never seen in Narnia.
Again, that's not quite true because at the very end of Narnia, After Asalyn had called down the stars, flooded the mountains and commanded father time to snuff out the son, Lucy, and the other seven friends of Narnia found themselves standing at the gates of Asluns garden, which was located in the truer, more real Narnia of ASINs country.
And when those gates open, they saw the last thing they would have ever expected.
A little sleek, bright eyed talking mouse with a red feather, stuck in a circle.
It honestly.
And it's left Paul resting on a new sword.
It bowed a most beautiful bow and said, and a Regal voice.
Welcome in the lion's mane.
Come further up and further in.
