Wow. Just... wow. This was so wonderful! I love how you've taken these universes and combined them together to write this wonderful story. And it's the Narnian Bonding ritual that we keep pestering Rth to write one day (I'm afraid now she won't write the Kingmaking ceremony at all, thanks to you).
I loved Xucoatl -- he has such personality, and he reminded me a little bit of the Sorting Hat in Harry Potter as well. The little hints he provide about the future were wonderful, as well as his comments about how past monarchs fared in the same challenge.
But in general, what I loved is how Narnian this was, from the imagery and descriptions, to the Talking Beasts and the other Creatures, and then watching as four English children become Narnian themselves.
