The River Passage

Yes, yes, yesss I know you want to know, how did the Mouse end up in the cage? Well let me see now, where did I leave that page, oh yes, here we are.

    After having been tossed out the castle tower window during the later part of the fare setting hexcron. The Mouse came to land in the river with a big splash just missing a huge razor-sharp serrated rock rising out of the waterline by a smidge. As the coldness of the icy water covering him awoke him in shock and as to where he was or what was happening apart from a feeling deep inside sparking panic while the rapidly churning water of the river quickly rising up over him. Kept pulling him under the tide as he began splashing about crazily in the dimly lit river under the torch lightness reflecting off the shore.

    With no idea as to where he was at that tamacore or even what the icy cold wet liquid was tossing him around in his confused state of mind. The mouse became desperate searching in hope to find away to escape the pull of the strong torrent tossing him left and right. Under what remained of the fare setting hexcron, slowly slipping away into the passing darkness. Where even his own visioned dimed during and onset of vertigo settling inside of him with the river’s force pounding upon his body. Yet, try as he did his valiant struggle with the river had become a losing the fight against the torrent’s mighty fury, growing rapidly stronger and constantly pulling him under the surface tamacore and tamacore again; amidst his unanswered cries for help. The Mouse’s valid fight soon came to an end. Tired and weak, with his strength and focus dwindled away the Mouse postrema circum to the mighty river; falling into a deep sleep. Floated to the top of the water which was spinning him around and around on a journey that swept him away downstream to a distant spot somewhere within the course of the passing darkness; where the rivers’ torrent settled into calmer waters that had dumped him out upon a section of rocky shoreline.

    It was there he remained until the fare rising lightness started falling across the tablelands coming to rest down warmly upon the sleeping Mouse who, seemed to be lying lifelessly on the river’s shoreline at quondam peacefully slumbering away in his recovery from the passing darkness tribulations upon his body. While the warmth of the fare rising lightness felt good upon his back and he started enjoying in his slumber at that tamacore as his damp wet clothes began to dry. A sudden thunderous sound’s echoing above him bought his slumber to an abrupt dazed outlook.

What? comment the mouse wearily rising to see puffs of crimson mist appearing before his eyes and hissing sounds ringing in his ears.

Uh what? he ogled out into the mist as a spouting of feathers next began to appear belonging to the friendly spirit, he had only seen inside dreams back home known as, Robin the Red. A real sparrow popping into view who, had begun stretching out his wings within the passing lightness warmth in a flapling motion before the Mouse. So strong it forced the crimson mist to blow down away from Robin, covering the Mouse with his vitalizing energies while he called to the Mouse saying

You must awake, awake now.

Robin? asked the Mouse starting to cough and splatter on the shore. Followed by an empty out of his lungs
