Gobo and Lou entered another round room, with three stone doors. There were rocks scattered all over the were square shaped, some were rectangular, and some were round. And all three doors were locked.
"Where are we now?" Gobo asked.
"This is the Ancients' Place," Marjory explained. "It's one of the oldest places in the Fairy Realm. Fairies came here to study. It is written that no mortal can enter this place. And if they do, they can not be allowed to leave. The fairies do not want the mortals too know about their ways. You see all of the stones laying on the ground? You need to use them to open the doors. Start with the round ones. They go in those large spaces next to the doors."
Gobo and Lou took one of the round rocks, and carried it over to the first door, putting it into the space Marjory had indicated. A circular shape lit up briefly, and then disappeared. The two Fraggles took another rock, and put it in the space on the right side of the door. The circle on the door lit up completely, and stayed lit. Furthermore, four indentations appeared in the wall. As Gobo pondered what to do next, Lou began picking up the square rock shapes.
"Hey, Gobo!" she shouted. "Some of these rocks have shapes printed on them! This one looks like part of a circle!"
"Hey, you're right!" Gobo shouted. "Come on, let's put them in place and see what happens!"
Gobo and Lou put the rocks into the wall, and the door opened. The two Fraggles ran inside, and found a machine of some sort.
"Naturally, it's broken," Marjory's voice sighed. "Lilith's doing, I'm sure."
"What is it, Madam Trash Heap?" Gobo asked.
"This is a Stone Printing machine," Marjory said. "The Ancients built it. They use it for printing symbols on stones. There should be a mold somewhere for you to use for it."
"You mean like this?" Lou asked, picking up a metal square with a right angle printed on it.
"Yes, that's exactly right," Marjory said. "Very good, princess!"
"Well, let's get started," Gobo said.
The two Fraggles looked around the area for what they needed. They found two gears and a handle, and attached them to the machine. Lou put the mold in the machine, and Gobo put the stone in. Then the two Fraggles pulled the handle, and printed the right angle onto the stone. They did this three more times, and the mold disappeared. Then the two Fraggles went back out to the Ancients' Place, and put the two round rocks they had left next to the other two doors. One door featured some kind of curved figure, and the other a square.
"I know where these go now," Lou said, taking the stones she and Gobo and printed, and put them into the slots.
Once the door opened, the two Fraggles ran inside. Behind this door, there was a strange machine that neither Gobo, nor Lou could figure out. Gobo reached out and touched it, but the minute he did, parts of the machine suddenly disappeared, and reappeared, scattered among the grass and rocks.
"Ooooh, that troublesome little pixie!" Marjory shouted. "If I ever get my hands on her . . . ."
"What's wrong, Madam Heap?" Gobo asked. "And what is this thing?"
"This machine makes molds," Marjory said. "You're going to need them if you want to open the last door. I hope you remember what the machine looked like when you came in!"
"I do, don't worry," Gobo said.
"You two had better hurry!" Marjory shouted. "I just looked into Fraggle Rock, and the sleeping spell has spread! All the Fraggles have fallen asleep! Not only that, your little friend isn't there!"
"What?!" Gobo shouted, and he began to panic. "What do you mean Wembley isn't there?! What happened?!"
"Lilith must have taken him!" Lou shouted. "Remember? It was all part of the dreams we had!"
"Oh no!" Gobo shouted. "Madam Heap, please, tell us, where did Lilith take Wembley?"
"That, I do not know," Marjory said. "And it's much worse than I expected. Not only have all the Fraggles fallen under the spell, but so have the Gorgs, and Philo and Gunge as well!"
"But how come you're not affected by the spell?" Gobo asked. "And how come we're not?"
"You two aren't affected because I'm protecting you," Marjory explained. "This is why I can't solve the puzzles for you. I'm using what magic I have to protect you, and communicate with you. And I'm not affected because Fairies are immune from other Fairies spells when they have been transformed."
"Oh well, I guess that makes sense," Gobo said. "I mean, fairies wouldn't be affected by each other's . . . . wait a minute . . . ."
"What did you just say?!" Lou shouted.
"I'm unaffected my Lilith's spells because fairies can not cast spells on other Fairies when they have been transformed," Marjory said. "You didn't think I was a trash heap my entire life, did you?"
"Well . . . ." Gobo said, a bit hesitantly.
"Uhhhh . . . ." Lou said.
"It figures," Marjory sighed. "This is another reason I'm helping you Fraggles. I have a bit of a score to settle with Lilith. I used to be a Fairy just like her, but she turned me into a trash heap. An unliving, lay-there-like-a-pile-of-garbage trash heap. I didn't become the oracle you Fraggles know and love today until my boys came along. Unfortunately, I am unable to change myself back, and neither can Lilith or any other Fairy in the Realm. Once you have been transformed, there is no way to transform back."
"Oh how horrible!" Lou shouted.
"It's not so bad, really," Marjory said. "I get a lot more peace and quiet these days, and I enjoy sharing my wisdom with you Fraggles. But that's beside the point. Right now, you have to fix that machine!"
"Right," Gobo said. "Come on, Lou!"
Immediately, Gobo and Lou looked around the area, and gathered up everything they could find that they thought would be useful, including some blank, square, metal plates. Gobo found two wooden bars and what looked like a wooden bowl, while Lou found a wooden hoop, and a large crystal ball.
"I think these go to the machine," she said.
"Right," Gobo said, as he put the wooden bars in place.
Once the bars were in place, Lou put the hoop on top of them. Gobo set the bowl on top of the hoop, and Lou attached the crystal ball. The minute it was in place, the two Fraggles heard a strange noise, and a wooden crank appeared out of nowhere. Gobo picked it up, and attached it to the machine, but nothing happened.
"Maybe we should turn the crank," Lou said.
"Good idea," Gobo said. "Give me a hand."
The two Fraggles turned the crank, and shifted the position of the crystal ball, until a beam of light hit the crystal and reflected onto the center of the machine.
"Now to put the metal plates in place," Lou said, and she placed one metal square on the machine. The crystal ball glowed, and imprinted a shape onto the metal plate. Lou removed it, and put another plate on. The crystal repeated the previous action.
"Incredible," Gobo said, as he collected the final mold. "But we've still got a problem."
"What's that?" Lou asked.
"We don't have anymore stones to make prints."
"But we do have a hammer! We can knock those rectangular stones outside in half!"
Lou picked up a hammer that was laying next to the machine, and ran back to the Ancients' Place. Gobo stood there, scratching his head for a moment, and then finally followed her out. When he reached her, he found her smashing six rectangular rocks into twelve square rocks.
"Don't just stand there, Gobo!" she shouted. "Help me pick these up and take them to the stone printer!"
"Right," Gobo said, picking up six squares, while Lou picked up the other six.
The two Fraggles returned to the stone printer, and placed a mold, and a rock. Then they printed the shapes onto the stones. Every time they were finished with a mold, it disappeared.
"Well, that's the last of the molds," Gobo said. "But we still have four squares left over."
"Better hang onto them," Lou said. "We might need them for something."
"I guess so. Come on. We've got that center door to open!"
Gobo took the printed squares, and ran back out to the Ancient's Place, and placed the squares into the indents. When the door opened, he and Lou raced through to find a broken bridge, and a rushing waterfall.
"Oh great, a dead end," Gobo said. "What do we do now, Madam Heap?"
"There's this old saying," Marjory said. "The water will stop if you place a diamond on the wall. I don't have any idea what that means, though."
"Something tells me it has to do with the stone printer and the mold maker," Lou said, picking up a blank metal square.
"You're probably right," Gobo said, looking at the wall. "There are four indents here like there were with the doors. Let's get to it! I'll meet you at the printer, Lou!"
Gobo took the mold, and ran to the mold maker. He put it on the machine, and the crystal ball glowed, creating the mold. This one had a diagonal line on it. He then took it off, and ran back to stone printer. Lou had put one of the four remaining stones in the printer. Gobo put the mold in it's place, and he and Lou ran to the handle.
"Ready?" he asked.
"Ready," Lou said
The two Fraggles pulled the handle down, and printed the line on the four stones. They each took two of the stones, and put them together. They formed a diamond shape.
"I knew it!" Gobo shouted. "Let's go put this diamond in the wall!"
The two Fraggles went back to the waterfall, and stuck the stones into the indentations on the wall. Once they were in, the waterfall stopped running, and revealed the bridge wasn't really broken, just missing some planks. Luckily for them, they spotted some boards nearby. Gobo took one and put it on the bridge. Lou followed with the other planks, and she and Gobo fixed the bridge plank by plank, until the bridge was fully repaired. On the other side of the chasm was a giant door, which looked very intimidating.
"I don't know if I want to know what's on the other side of that thing," Lou said.
"Me neither," Gobo said. "But we have to find out, whether we want to or not. Wembley could be on the other side of it, and he might be in trouble!"
Lou had to agree with that, and she and Gobo crossed the bridge.
