[Pinkie]

After that night everything continued on as they should. There was no news of trouble through the lands or in the kingdom the two kings ruled over. No everything for once was at peace and it seemed to shock Mizuki a little at times. He was used to the constant fear of something going wrong or the fear that the day he lived would be his last. Though as of late it was a thought on the back of his mind.

Since that night time moved on and now it seemed to be months later after the death of the king. Though another date seemed to approach and one Mizuki usually didnt care for. This year however he didnt find himself locked away in some study alone. No even though he was more silent as the days approached he didnt hide it. Instead he walked around the castle just as he always did with Amonar in his arms as he gave his orders to the servants about.

It was not until later into the day did he find himself talking with Belquiri "You know I am perfectly fine" Mizuki said with a little glare to the female as she shrugged her shoulders "Dont try and put anything on me" She said with a smirk "Its auntie Neimi...you know how she is" She said with a shake of her head "Besides its your birthday papa you should have fun" She said with a smile and Mizuki sighed a little "What fun?" He asked "I have a kingdom to run as well as a baby to raise...there is no fun" He said with a shrug.

At this however the female growled a little "There can be fun if you ever allow it!" Belquiri said in a bit of a higher voice though at the look Mizuki gave her she frowned "Sorry papa" She said and the male smiled a little "My dear...I am fully aware of the day trust me but just because it is the day of my birth does not mean that I need to celebrate it" He said looking to her "There is nothing to celebrate" He said with a shrug of his shoulders.

At this Belquiri stood from her chair before walking over. Making Mizuki stand she began to push him from his own study "Hey...what on earth-" He began as he struggled though the female smirked "It is your birthday and as such it is a time to celebrate even if you do not think it is!" She said as she reached the door before shoving him out of it "Now...if I was you I would go and head for the dining hall before Neimi sends a search party to fetch you...another words dad" She said with a smile "Oh and dont worrie....I will watch Amonar all night!" She said with a wave as she closed the door almost right in Mizukis face.

Mizuki huffed as he stood there with his arms crossed. Belquiri was just like them in many ways. Sighing he moved and began to head down the hall he might as well take full advantage of this. Then this was when the thought of ditching and leaving the little party came to his mind. Though it ended the more he thought on it. Neimi was human and as such her years began to catch up to her. The grey hairs and wrinkled skin was starting to set in and it was often a thought of Mizukis how much longer they had with the female.

With that thought he gave a sigh and headed for the dining hall where he knew the female as well as others seemed to be in wait. Opening the large doors before him it was almost the same as the last time the female did something for his birthday. He was greeted first by Needren and Luna both of them expressing their wishes of a good birthday to him. Then there were others that did the same. Though the whole time he didnt see Thalion around.

Even as he went up to Neimi and asked the female shook her head. She didnt even know where he went off to. She had tried to locate the male in more ways then one but when she did she was told that he wished to be left alone. That right there made Mizuki frown. The only reason he even really bothered with this night was because he was sure that Thalion would of spent the night right along his side. At least this was his thinking and it seemed his thinking was wrong.

Even as the night began to come to an end Mizuki didnt see a single glance of the male. What on earth could of kept Thalion away from him for the whole day? Let alone at the night like this... Something began to boil in Mizukis mind the more the night went on and the more it did the more angry or upset he seemed to get. Here he was sitting almost alone now in the dining hall with some dark thoughts. "You know its not the end of the world to be a day older right?"

Mizuki turned his head at this and watching as Luna came up and sat down across from him he sighed "Its not that..." Mizuki said and Luna nodded her head as she crossed her arms "Oh I know...I also know exactly what seems to be the dark thoughts that cloud your mind" Luna huffed a little making Mizuki look to her "You know as well as I do that he loves you with everything he has.." Luna said and Mizuki frowned a little "Thus...there has to be a reason as to why he didnt show tonight" Luna said with a nod.

"Before you get all dark and gloomie..." Luna said as she stood and moved away from the table a little "I would go and see if I could find the reasoning as to why he did not show tonight" With that and a shrug Luna turned and left. Shortly after Mizuki fallowed her example and left the now empty dining hall and headed for his room. At the least with Belquiri watching Amonar he had the chance of a good sleep. Or so he thought as he reached his room and with closed eyes he opened the door before walking in and shutting it behind him. Leaning against the door he kept his eyes shut as he groaned a little.
