Narnia, Chronicle of Narnia: Re: [thelionscall] New poll for thelionscall

Maybe more of an angelic figure then...I've always had the same questions
about the White Stag. Whether it's really Aslan, which is what I thought as
a kid, or kind of an angelic being, or something else...of course, in
Narnia, the line between angelic and "normal" is a bit blurry. You could
easily argue that the river god and naiads are angelic in nature.
