"Menagar hurin lesotu." The low chant had filled the night, echoing off of the walls, frightening the guards, but not doing anything to get Ergoth's magic back. His knees were sore, his throat worn and dry, but he didn't dare stop, for if he did, it would be the one time he stopped that the seal would open.

However, now was not the time for Ergoth, his body retched unnaturally. He shot to his feet, leaning over on one hip, his lipless yellow teeth felt covered in some substance that he dared not to touch. After a few groans and cracked bones, Ergoth's personality had fled back into his mind, and Galladin took over.

Galladin's room was chilly, but he himself was always cold, a dead man never heats, and he was the deadest of men.

Galladin's head jerked to the direction of his door, which only he seemed to have, operable with a word that only Galladin knew, and even then it was thoroughly scrubbed from his mind every night. The guard walked over, Jerry, a middle aged human who seemed bored with the world, he was only in this job for the money. Galladin thanked the gods for that.

"Hullo Jerry." Galladin's voice sounded like a stone slab sliding against a metal floor, and every word came out slower than he intended. Jerry yawned, the black bags under his eyes were proof to the fact that he never got any sleep.
"Hullo Galladin." He cleared his throat.
[i]"The duck jumped over the bridge my friend
the bridge my friend,
the bridge my friend!
The duck jumped over the bridge my friend-"[/i] Jerry began to sing, a song that annoyed Ergoth to no end, but Galladin knew this one.
[i]"And never jumped again!"[/i] Jerry chuckled, his face didn't smile when his voice did, and Galladin was some kind of impressed.

"Alright, get out of here." Jerry opened the door, allowing Galladin to walk free in the prison, though he felt like 'free' wasn't exactly the right word.
"Don't go insane like last time."
"I doubt that."
"Why?"
"Because your pants are falling down, and that is too amusing for me to kill you." Galladin chuckled at Jerry, who simply sighed, allowing his pants to rest just above his thighs, waddling to his quarters slowly.

Now what? Galladin held a hand to his chin, rubbing against what remained of his lips painfully. Eventually he proved too bored to think, so he turned to Ergoth, placing a fist against the fourth seal, allowing him to speak to the evil being within, a trick he had learned soon after being imprisoned.

[i]'Hey pal.'
'How I wish I could have possessed one of the others and killed you.'
'Don't wish! Do! Kill me! It'll be so easy!'
'Not in this goddamned place.'
'Well... if you're gonna mope, at least tell me what we're going to do today.'
'Let me take over then.'
'Nah, you had a turn.'
'Curses, curse you Galladin! I curse you to be infertile!'
'Hah, buddy, that ship sailed as soon as you took my lips, what girl would want this face? Also, you're sealed, curses don't really work through seals.'
'Grumble grumble.'
'The hell are you saying "Grumble" for?'
'I wanna eat.'
'Sorry? You were grumbling again.'
'I WANNA EAT!'
'Better, then let's go.'[/i]

Galladin chuckled, he enjoyed having a completely evil being at his mercy, though the more he spoke to Ergoth, the less evil he seemed, more like a teddy bear pretending to be evil, though what he could do if he got his body back had caused Galladin more than one nightmare.

The sound of bare feet against stone followed with Galladin everywhere he walked, like a wet fish slapping against a wood deck, a comparison that amused Galladin.

'GALLADIN!' Ergoth roared, it echoed off of the walls even though Galladin was the only one who heard it.
[i]'What?'
'I want a burger.'
'I hate burgers.'
'Boo hoo princess, you're an elf, you're perfect, a few carbs won't hurt you.'
'Carbs?'
'Sorry, saw the future again.'
'Well... okay, we'll get you a burger.'
'This pleases me.'
'Great.'[/i]

Galladin sighed, he hadn't had kids for a reason.
