Tirian decides to give himself up to the Calormenes and asks Jewel to stay behind, but Jewel pleads to go with him. Also doubles as a moment of Heartwarming.
Jewel: If we have ever loved each other, please let me go with you. If you are dead and Aslan is not Aslan, then what life is there for me?
Our heroes' conversation with Farsight, finding out Cair Paravel has been taken over and Roonwit the Centaur is dead.
Tirian: Narnia is no more.
The Talking Horses are riding to the rescue at last... and every single one of them is shot down before they can reach their allies.
The very ending of the book. Everyone except Susan is dead and must begin a new life in Aslan's country.
And Susan must live on, knowing that her entire immediate family perished in a terrible accident. And since she has apparently long believed that Narnia was just some game of pretend she and her siblings played then she has no reason at all to believe that their souls have gone to Aslan's Country so she can't even find solace in that!
And when we meet the Pevensies, we discover that Susan is no longer in contact with them. Lucy is an All-Loving Hero and even she isn't associating with her sister anymore — we don't know exactly how awful Susan has become, but that should give a good indicator. All we do learn is that Susan is interested in "nylons, lipstick, and invitations," implying that she's focused on nothing but her looks and hot men and has grown up to a certain age and is trying to stay that age for as long as possible, if Polly is to be believed.
Early in the book, a dryad comes to warn Tirian that trees in her forest are being felled at an alarming rate — "woe for my brothers and sisters!" — and she suddenly screams in pain and vanishes. Tirian knows this is because her own tree has just been cut down.
"Night Falls On Narnia" In-Universe and Out. Seeing the world that we spent seven books coming to love come to an abrupt end is a somber, heart wrenching experience.
