Chapter 2:
Several years had passed...
"Apprentice Ianto, how are you this day? Are you ready to visit the cells?" Elder Jones asked.
"I believe I am. I wish to see if I can get more out of our special guest down there," Ianto replied. He had grown since the last time he had been down in the cells. He had been six when he first visited, and had grown into a lanky teen at the age of fifteen. He excelled in his studies, quickly rising to apprentice in record time. He had dreamed of slit pupil-ed blue eyes since his first visit.
"Good, we shall head down now," the elder wizard led him down to the cells. Creatures had been moved out and new brought in as a vortex in the well of magic brought them to the tower of the wizards. They worked to make them safe and comfortable with the world of humans before sending them back out. Some worked with wizards instead of returning to the wild, almost like pets.
Ianto felt an itch under his skin. He had been yearning for a chance to return but only the change in one's status; unless they were a master, would allow for a visit to the cells. He so wanted to see those blue eyes again.
"You seem eager."
"I have been waiting for this for quite some time."
"Well, let us not keep you waiting."
"Thank you."
"You wish to see only the one cell?"
"Yes. The other creatures down there do not interest me."
"I see. Why is that?"
"I have seen his eyes in my dreams. They soothe me when I meditate. I wish to know if he is to be a companion."
"You think he may choose you as companion?"
"He as responded to no other before or since my visit. I have asked. It would make sense."
"We will see."
"Yes we will." Ianto nodded more to himself than to his elder. He heard the sounds of creatures in their cages sniffing at his passing but giving him no more attention than any other apprentice. They soon arrived at the open door and Ianto went straight inside.
He gave a sigh at the familiar form still knelt in the same place it had been the last time he had visited.
"Does he ever move?" Ianto asked queitly.
"No. The water keeps him outside of time. He only feels as though a few minutes have passed since he first came here. He was in such pain when he was found. Screaming and writhing. We put him outside of time and the pain seemed to vanish. So he has been kept this way ever since."
"Really?" Ianto asked surprised. "Poor thing." He took a few steps closer and looked. Eyes wandering over the familiar form and he saw the eyes open again, locking with his. Fingers flexed and the hand on the knee moved towards him; beckoning, before returing to it's place.
"He moved!"
"I saw! But not for long. It is said he will break back into time when he has Chosen. It may be that the time is not right yet. You do not have the power of a Master and that may be what he needs to be your companion."
Ianto nodded. "Can I touch him without being pulled out of time? I only wish to touch his shoulder. Offer comfort that I will try as hard as I can to be what he needs."
"You may. But be breif or you may become trapped."
Ianto nodded again and carefully bridged the gap. He held out a hand and gently laid it on the naked shoulder before him. "I will be back soon. I have to attain Master status before I come back. But for you I will push myself harder than anyone has pushed before. I swear to you, I will not make you wait too long. Take care of yourself while I am away."
"Come away now. Before the magic get's hold of you."
"I am coming. I have much work to do."
"You would work harder for a creature you have no name for?"
"But I have part of a name now," Ianto countered with a smile.
"Oh?"
"I have a letter to start the name with."
"And what is that?"
"J."
