"A little... I think a raid would make me more then a little.." Thalion's reply to not making any sudden movements around this so called contact Damien seemed to have. He had a feeling that Damien had kept in touch with quite a few contacts ... It was every so often he would bring up news of what was happening here and that things were only getting worse. Though Thalion still swore he had enough to deal with without trying to take over a city so it would never happen nor could he do anything about what was going on here without causing a small war at the least.

It was funny in a way, everyone spoke of how fearless the drow were. Yet here was a little man that nearly seemed to have a heart attack at the mere sound of someone entering the shop. Though as soon as Damien started speaking Thalion knew what reaction was coming. Oh here things went again... Here he was just starting to get use to dealing with the guards at the wood elven capital let alone anyone else here finding out said rumors of one of the royals being alive were true.

Though after the slight huff Thalion gave as he seemed to state the rumors were true it caused the man to shrink back. Damien shook his head a little saying he was like that. But more details could be explained later when they were not in the open front of the shop. Either way the group followed where they were told to go to be out of sight and maybe be allowed a bit of a breather for the time being till they got into some of the more complicated problems.. like getting into the vault and from there into the passage Thalion needed to get to.

Once they were relocated to a small house and told to sit was when Thalion started going over what they needed to do with Damien. They both knew the castle layout and as far as they knew nothing had been changed so it should be easy enough to get in and out without much trouble. Though this was when he noticed Mizuki seemed to get a new spark of energy from the herb collection this contact seemed to have.

Being linked it was hard yo mask the excitement Mizuki seemed to express at the moment at talking with the other. He would never admit to being jealous but he was and he hid it well. Even with being linked Thalion was a master of hiding what his thoughts or true feelings were when he so wanted to. Instead he busied himself with talking to Damien as they seemed to agree on the best path to take. There shouldn't be too many guards posted at the areas they had to pass through and if they timed it they could avoid them altogether.

Granted he didn't like the way Mizuki seemed to be almost overly friendly with this new found companion.. but saying something would hardly help things at the moment. Though at Damien and Thalion mentioning getting to the vaults was when Nester spoke up after a few moments and the tea was finished. "Did you get my last message Damien?" The older knight shook his head no as Nester looked down a little.

"The queen finally cornered the Death wizard and the knight of shadow." Damien frowned at this news, they were both strong allies as he rested his head on his hands propping his elbows on the table to remain eye level with Thalion. Though this made Thalion speak up. "What? How did they get her?" He seemed almost in shock at the mentioning of one of the two figures as Nester seemed to explain that the two had been laying low for a while but recently the Queen had become more active in her hunt for those still loyal to the crown.

"Rumors of not she was not taking chances on some uprising happening under her feet." He stated about the queen. "Tsk.. damn it" Thalion's ears went back as he tried to relax a little again and Damien seemed to watch him before speaking. "you're conflicted." "Yes I am, if we leave them they are as good as dead. but going to the dungeon is hardly a easy feat... though it should have a passage that puts us closer to where I need to be.. if we get that far."

Damien closed his eyes thinking about it a moment. He knew that the knight spoken of was Thalion's instructor. Besides his father shoving as much magical knowledge down his throat he also had a battle hardened knight that trained him. Damien had helped train Thalion as a child as well but his main master was currently being held in a cell awaiting the fate the queen saw fit.

"They would both be powerful allies." Damien stated knowing Thalion knew that and he was still more conflicted with going out of the way to try and spare them. "Ugh... leaving them there isn't a option is it.. " He muttered a little before sighing. "If it starts looking bad we'll have no choice but leaving them there means I won't sleep well." There seemed to be more to it then that. He owed her... if it wasn't for her he'd be dead, even if she had been hard on him when he was younger it was because of that he was even alive still.

Besides that it was his fault they were both in there. If he had never shown up here then they would be doing whatever they were doing. Though they were hardly the only ones in the cells at the moment. A day prior to Thalion and Mizuki and Damien getting to the city Neimi and Raden had located the children and were talked into just going to see the city. The group had poor luck running into patrols and the two children having signs of being Drow half breeds. The Queen did not like half breed muts as she called them and they would be dealt with as well as the other mut with them, being Raden, and the human.
