Sensuois Nocnu was a dream-like place that would capture the victim for an arbitrary amount of time. Sensuois Nocnu was built by Emit. Emit was not a friend of Egroj, and was not going to release him any time soon.
Someone would have to get him out. That can happen several ways, but you are probably wondering how he got in, right? So am I.
Well, Egroj had been wandering, looking for something, but not knowing what exactly, when he came upon a nicely stacked pile of stones. As he took a closer look, he realized they were stones from the Edun Sea.
These stones were smooth, soft, warm, and kinda tingly when you touched them, especially with your tongue. Apparently, this was something to do when you were looking for something to do.
Licking Edun Stones was tricky business. One has to lick only for a moment, then stop licking quickly before the stone's tingliness overcame the "licker", and plunged them into Sensuois Nocnu.
Egroj wasn't very good at taking his tongue off at the right time, and found himself many times waking up next to an Edun Stone.
It was a good thing that Edun Stones were rare, and not laying around everywhere, or Egroj would not have been a very productive member of society.
Little did Egroj know that Emit had set this trap using the stones as bait, along a path he knew Egroj would be wandering on.
Well, Egroj unsuspectedly put his tongue on one of the Edun Stones, and as usual, held it too long, and slipped into Sensuois Nocnu.
Usually Emit would release whoever fell in after a little while, but when he realized it was Egroj, he was very happy.
Egroj woke up, this time not on the path next to an Edun Stone, but on the muddy shores of the Edun Sea. He couldn't move, so he just waited.
Meanwhile, Princess Eel was trading words with Regna. Regna was trying to force Eel to tell him where Egroj was, but Eel wouldn't tell him. He was trying to grab her, but he had very poor eyesight, and it was very easy to avoid his hands.
Also, he had to be careful not to move too quickly or strain himself.
Regna was upset with Egroj for tossing him a vial of Aeeraid, whichfell to the floor and splashed onto Regna's foot, causing sharp, bubbling stomach pains, panicked mandatory visits to the land of Teliot (if you could make it) and an immediate fear of Stoot Diuqil, who was a formidable opponent. Regan had meant to catch the vial, but with his eyes being so poor, didn't even see it coming.
So you understand why Regna was upset.
Regna promised to Eel not to hurt Egroj and she told him that she had a way to find the Anti-Aeeraid solution.
Eel took Regna into her home and found a pair of Egroj's Stnap Rednu. She rolled them up and forced them into a cup of Trop Elet.
She then dropped in a couple of drops of Rednif and watched with a smile.
She put her fingers into the cup and pulled out a vial of Regnirb.
Meanwhile, Egroj was thinking about drinking some Retaw. He had become so very thirsty. He was thinking about lifting himself up to crawl over to the Edun Sea and have himself a drink when he felt something being taken out of his Jolly Sack.
Eel had taken off the lid of the vial and dropped one drop into the cup containing Egroj's Stnap Rednu.
Egroj suddenly felt as though he was being pulled to the sky. He watched the Edun Sea with its muddy shores get smaller and smaller as he flew straight up toward the clouds.
Suddenly, the cup exploded and Egroj appeared in its place, then instantly flew up to the ceiling and stuck there.
Egroj opened his eyes and looked around bewildered, finally noticing two figures standing on the ceiling.
He rubbed his eyes to try to clear his view and see who they were, and came crashing down to the ground, right between the two figures.
Once he figured out who they were, he stood up and gave Eel a hug.
"Thank you for bringing me," he said as he kissed her on the cheek.
"You are welcome," she said.
"That sounds like Egroj," said Regna with a grunt, turning his head toward Egroj's voice.
"Hello, Regna," said Egroj.
Regna just glared toward Egroj's voice, caferul not to make any sudden moves.
Egroj took a step back. Eel reached over to Egroj's hand and grabbed out of it the Edun Stone he had been gripping so tightly.
She secretly dropped it into a cup of Retaw and held it up to Egroj.
"Egroj," she said to him with a wink. "I promised that you would give Regna the anti-Aeeraid solution, and he promised not to hurt you."
Egroj winked back at her. Regna had no idea all this winking was going on.
Egroj reached into his Jolly Sack and pulled out Rednes solution and dropped a drop into the Retaw.
"That should do it," said Egroj, replacing the lid back onto the vial.
"Here, Regna," said Eel, and placed the cup into his hand.
He drank it and immediately was gone...cup and all.
Eel and Egroj stood there in silence for a few moments.
"It's good to be home," said Egroj.
"Did you find it?" said Eel.
Egroj was already digging in his Jolly Sack, and produced a small lump of what seemed to be white clay of some sort.
"Well," said Eel. "Come on, how does it work?"
Egroj rolled the clay stuff up into a long tube and got close to Eel. He shoved one end into Eel's ear and the other end into his own.
The clay stuff was a Renetsil, and by putting it in each other's ears, they could hear what they were thinking.
Their expressions told the rest of the story.
Both Eel and Egroj looked confused, like they were listening to another language, squinting, then they looked surprised, their eyes wide open, then they both smiled.
Egroj closed his eyes and looked very peaceful, so did Eel.
Then suddenly, Eel's face became red as an Otamot.
The End
