Finally they stopped.............Mr. Tolouse's mind managed to register as he had been conscious and then unconscious so many times as they traveled as the Great Beast had not payed much attention to what bushes they pressed threw or what trees he knocked down or stuck out of his path, many had stuck him or glanced against him bruising him or maybe even cutting him, he couldnt see so he was unsure of how many injuries he had in these travels.

Throwing Mr. Tolouse down on the ground and shaking himself like a dog would the Great Beast shook off the sweat from his fur and walked a short distance and into what Mr. Tolouse could barely make out as a shelter made of stone covered is as much vines and growth as to make it almost seem like a earthen mound except for the doorway into it being far to even and well constructed to be only made of earth.

As the Great Beast came back out of the small shelter apparently to come and secure Mr. Tolouse he lost consciousness again, and then.......it seemed like ages when he awoke sore and aching in a jail cell of sorts there where bars, very very old and rusted iron bars but so thick they where perhaps half as thick as his fore-arms, something very strong must have been kept here and it was very wet and covered in mildew the floor was covered in what must have once been straw, but now was so aged it resembled pieces wet mushy strings on the floor,,,,,,,,barely seeing what was around him as he was still waking up, another person in the corner??????????????

But as his vision cleared he saw to his horror it was a body! ...His eyes went wide, he tried to focus his eyes and realized ......its one of his Children,,,,,,The body was ages old covered in so much oxidization, like the kind when iron rusts and becomes covered in red rust, but different............wait he though "If he is still in one piece cant I converse with him?"

He wondered and of course sense it is unlikely in his present state he could get out he might as well see if he could find out more about his prison wherever the Great Beast had taken him.

"Hello, ......can you understand ...my speech?" he spoke slowly and as commonly as he could manage hoping This Child Of The Great Sage could talk to him and help him and maybe they could get out of this place.

................He waited and there was no reply...........he waited a bit longer, he hoped he could chat with him and he had decided to try and talk one more time to it but then......................."I....know.......under-.....stand"........."Im .......lill....broken....hit........on ..side.....damaged.....stone inside........of ...,me."

"I understand I will speak slowly" as he nodded and moved closer to his un-moving body in the corner of the cell.

"I........am......Alum...inum....I hav...e been.......trapped....here.....for .....long...time" as he could make out the smallest movement of the Child Of The Great Sages's eyes, but the rest of him was stone still unable to move.

"Your body is very damaged and you cannot move?" he asked and Aluminum replied slowly.

"No......my....stone...damaged...in....my.....back..structure...Im.....immobile" as his eyes focused exclusively on Mr. Tolouse as he sat near to it.

"Im sorry I want to help you.." though Mr. Tolouse didnt know how he could being stuck in this cell and as well knowing nothing of magics or of alchemy as The Great Sage did.

"Its..........Oh,kay.....I.....am...watcher....I ..wait ....for Father...Great Sage....to.......return...he will........fix....me...but....kindness.....is....sweet" Mr. Tolouse realized looking a bit closer and from the last sentence....He is a.....she? as he could make out barely in the oxidation covering Her body which for aluminum is dark burnt silvery looking covering over the aluminum's surface and she had been in the same spot for so long it had in places caused her shape to be distorted as it filled nooks and crannies on the floor and against the wall where she lay against, and as well in what shapes he can still make out that she was a more feminine shape less stocky and masculine as a male body would be.

"I will keep you company you must be so lonely, do you know much of this place where we are trapped?" Mr. Tolouse asked of her.

"This........this place.......is.....our Father's......peaceful...place...place to.......spend ...with ...all......of.....us...his...children......until............(There was a long pause)......The Abominations......came...attack...us...Father.....tried to...save.....us...but...had.....to....leave........Abominations wated......to...kill...him....we...protected...him kept......him safe....where....he...could........escape" "
