Thorns and Claws
The dragon seemed to listen to Mizuki speak as she tilted her head a little. "One familiar with the tales of old then, you do keep interesting company it seems.." The dragon shook her head a little at Mizuki spoke saying to see what she had seen and afterwards bowing a little. "I am no different from any other long lived creature on this world as I bleed all the same." Granted her size alone would put most off as to even try to test if she bled or not. The scales were probably plenty more reason to avoid trying, dragon scales only strengthened as the beasts aged. She might be as close to immortal as a dragon could get.

"You speak as though you don't have time to see the lands... you are young still for elven." She shifted a little eyeing the small group before looking back towards Thalion and Mizuki. "You are all young save the wizard. He knows of the destruction my eyes have seen and the pain that the lands have felt over the many years." More or less saying it might be a blessing to not know at times rather then to know and watch things unfold and be unable to stop them.

Though Thalion was letting this odd exchange carry on before Mizuki hit his arm. "Heh... she's been waiting longer then that." He finally admitted as the female shook her head a little and her tail thrashed once against the ground landing rather heavily. "I have... and I expect your end of the deal to be upheld. I kept mine and after I have waited for you to return and have enough power to pay your dues." She growled a little as she thought about the years ticking by and having nearly lost hope on this day to come.

Thalion sighed finally knowing he did owe her. "Yeah there are a few reasons I am here, you know of the other." The dragon seemed pleased at the mentioning of this. "The curse yes? Once the bindings are gone the curse will be removed from you." Thalion started to ask what about Nytria but she shook her head slowly. "I cannot say, there are things beyond my power." Probably meaning how the children came to be even. That was old magic at work there as well.

Not like he could refuse now though, going back on his word wasn't something he commonly did, even to a dragon. Plus if something happened to him then Nytria would have to deal with the same thing he had gone through for all of these years. At least if he fixed one of the problems he could be around to help find a solution for Nytria as well. "Fine.." Thalion finally said before looking at Mizuki for a moment so he could explain a few things.

Though there was probably a story behind why a dragon of old had placed a curse on anyone. That could wait till they were somewhere else to chat about that. "You're not going to have any energy once the spell to release the bindings if finished." Glancing a little at the dragon he went on to explain something else. "Also if the curse is removed there will be some reaction, I don't know if it will carry through the link or not.." Odds are it would not, though he had no idea the pain or really anything that would happen once the curse was lifted.

None the less Mizuki seemed to be ok with all of this as Thalion moved forward as the dragon moved to lower her head to where the cuff that was on her neck was close enough for what Thalion needed to do to remove it. Binding a creature was easy, the removal of the bindings when you were not the caster was a little tricky. None the less he moved putting a hand on the cuff before he started the spell right away Mizuki could probably feel a sting from the spell being of old magic and draining quite a bit of energy off the bat.

This process lasted a little while till the spell was finished and the cuff finally seemed to open before disappearing into dust. With that he stepped back again as the rest of the bindings seemed to do the same and the dragon shifted slightly testing this. "There we're even -" She moved to look at Thalion before speaking. "Not quite..."

Though after that was said was when Thalion seemed to double over after falling to his knees. "Now we are even." She spoke before shifting her weight and laying down near where she had been sitting before. "and now you have a new fight to contend with." She was not doing this to be cruel it was the results of removing a curse that turned the body into a unlimited power supply. It was trying to adjust for twenty some years worth of not having a energy limit on top of being drained from the spell.

Thalion would describe the pain as something similar to if you were sealing magic. It probably had the same effect really or something similar. None the less he wasn't taking well to it at all. The only good thing was that the link seemed to be unaffected by this pain Thalion was in so Mizuki had no idea. Really his magic was back lashing a bit at the sudden restraint it had never known. Being as his element was fire he was sweating and seemed to struggle breathing for the time being.

Though the dragon had not just left him to his own. She was allowing space for Mizuki to do as he pleased as she spoke to Thalion in his mind. 'This is what you wanted, so fight. Change is to happen soon and that means you have no choice but to stay alive for it to happen... you know failing is not a option.' He did know that and he was trying to fight and to get over this but it would take some time for everything to settle and adjust. Even with the lack of energy the effects were strong enough to do this.
