Son, thou art welcome.

I was reading the Chronicles of Narnia again lately, mostly to get out of reading the drab science that I should be studying. To be specific, I was reading The Silver Chair and The Last Battle, which I could not remember clearly.

At the end of the Last Battle, a young Calormene (the enemy of Narnians that worships a god called Tash) named Emeth is found to be in the "real Narnia", when he was thought to be unworthy of being allowed into Aslan's land. I enjoyed reading this, an account of Emeth telling the Kings and Queens of Narnia how he had spoken to Aslan:

"Then I fell at his feet and thought, surely this is the hour of death, for the Lion (who is worthy of all honour) will know that I have served Tash all my days and not him. Nevertheless, it is better to see the Lion and die than to be Tisroc of the world and live and not to have seen him. But the Glorious One bent down his golden head and touched my forehead with his tongue and said, 'Son, thou art welcome.' But I said, 'Alas, Lord, I am no son of thine but the servant of Tash.' He answered, 'Child, all the service thou hast done to Tash, I account as service done to me.' Then by reason of my great desire for wisdom and understanding, I overcame my fear and and questioned the Glorious One and said, 'Lord, is it then true, as the treacherous Ape said, that thou and Tash are one?' The Lion growled so the earth shook (but his wrath was not against me) and said, 'It is false. Not because he and I are one, but because we are opposites - I take to me the services which thou has done unto him. For I and he are of such different kinds that no service which is vile can be done to me, and none which is not vile can be done to him. Therefore, if any man swear by Tash and keep his oath for the oath's sake, it is by me that he has truly sworn, though he know it not, and it is I who reward him. And if any man do a cruelty in my name, then, though he says the name of Aslan, it is Tash whom he serves and by Tash his deed is accepted. Dost though understand, Child?' I said, 'Lord, though knowest how much I understand.' But I said also (for the truth constrained me), 'Yet, I have been seeking Tash all my days.' 'Beloved,' said the Glorious One, 'unless thy desire had been for me thou wouldst not have sought so long and so truly. For all find what they seek.'

Page 757 of the chapter 'Further Up and Further In". At least it's page 757 in the book I have which includes all of the books.
