Hanuman emitted an aura and not a material projectile. Sane thought left Simon and his thoughts seem to wander in seamless void as if cut off from an engine powering his thoughts. Hanuman brought Simon in to a cavern similar to the one he was spying on and cocooned him with its carapace-material, which seemed like a preservation mechanism. Simon was knocked out. Hanuman left Simon in its lair and left to its unknown plans. Simon seemingly drugged by Hanuman's aura slept many unknown hours.
Simon awoke much later and found out he could not see not because he had lost his eyesight but because it was pitch dark with not a slice of light. Memory came rushing to him and he was actually happy that he was alive, though for how much longer he did not wish to bet. He was actually lying like a lump on his back in a cramped chamber for he tried to move his legs and arms but was stopped by a solid material. His mask had been ripped off, though the rest of his suit was still on. He was relieved to realize that he could breathe this air. 'Light. Need light', he thought. He did not want to speak or make any noise lest the creature that might be close by awoke and realized the it had not actually killed him by ripping of his mask. In his cramped space he managed to sit upright that was all he could manage. His eyes was able to make out another shape though vague after some exposure to the darkness. The shape was much smaller seemed very near and it did not move. 'Is it another animal, rock or some alien gadget? ' Since his mask had been ripped off he was not completely sure if he could transmit for his show though the green light was still going strong from his shoulders. 'Can people still feel or hear me?How long have I been here?Am I being preserved for a later meal?' He tried to relive the moments just before he blanked out but found that extremely difficult. Everything seemed vague from the moment he had been trapped by Hanuman. The shape in front of him moved suddenly. Simon stiffened, though he was already stiff in the cramped space.
"Gyaaaaaaa", the shape seemed to cry out.
'Are you going to eat me?! Shoo! Please don't notice me! Think I am dead and go away! Please!'
A slim light issued from the shape, the light seemed be its own light. A natural yellow light of fire.
'Is it a Dragon?'
It was not Hanuman as it was smaller than Hanuman. The light grew in to a little fire ball illuminating the entire chamber. In those seconds of light Simon could make out that he was actually cocooned inside a shell of a translucent material similar to that of the Hanuman's carapace. He had room only to sit upright with feet stretched out, it was as if the shell had curved and fit to his body shape like he was inside an egg. And there was another shell inside which a smaller creature was issuing fire balls out of its mouth. They were inside a dark room similar to a room where photographic celluloid would blossom to show their color, except he was sort of incubated by his fear in a egg.
'Calm down! This is not probably a dragon, probably just a big gassy lizard and will probably not kill me!'
The little dragon creature had also noticed him and started panicking like a wounded snake, fizzing around a much bigger shelled-egg making bigger 'gyaaa' sounds.
'I hope the egg doesn't crack! Stupid dragon creature stay silent or your mama will come and feed me to you!'
The room darkened again as the fire-ball dragon had sputtered out as if it had burned all the oxygen in its shell or could not tolerate the heat of its own fire, which ever the case the creature went back to ignorant bliss believing the darkness had taken away its threat too.
