Mizuki seemed to summon him to the throne room where the guest was with the other. Or so that was what the guard that Mizuki had sent off to fetch Thalion. Surely Mizuki didn't need him there. Though maybe it was better to meet this guest that seemed to know Mizuki. Though he would be wishing he had stayed right where he was as soon as he saw who it was.
It took a little bit of time to get there but not too long. Enough time for the two talking to end their conversation. Though as soon as Mizuki spoke the elders name and Thalion saw the mage standing there his ears went back and the link between the two probably told Mizuki plenty that Thalion was not pleased in the least to see this male.
He had his reasons and ones that seemed to be haunting him. This worried him in more then a few ways. They always did say that going against the goddess' will would never end well, let alone that it was impossible to escape fate. Fate seemed to be ready to slap him in the face today as he wasn't sure if he should cover up the fact he knew the man more then he cared to know or just play it off that he was annoyed at the trainees if questioned.
Either way he knew he would have to explain things or try to avoid explaining them to Mizuki as a sudden wave of uneasiness had come upon Thalion as soon as he set eyes on the male. Sure it was a known fact Thalion hated magic but to be that unnerved by just seeing someone meant something deeper then that.
Though for now he was biting his tongue as he as he forced out the words pleasure. Yeah if pleasure meant that he wanted to see this man's still beating heart in his hand. Thats what his plans were for him as a child it seemed like a fair trade. Through it all the older male seemed amused to see Thalion standing there.
Of course he would be. Thalion was suppose to be dead at the age of seven! Yet here he was in his 60's and still very much breathing. Though the male this Seavain, Mizuki's master... he could change that. Maybe that was why he was here. No surely that wasn't it. So why the hell was he here?! Unanswered questions on top of his uneasy nerves at the moment was not helping anything.
This man was the reason his life at such a young age was a living hell! His sole purpose for being born was to try and remove that damned curse and for years he had wished everything under the sun and that lurked in the darkness that this man had died somewhere. Some horrible death that was fitting to someone who would use such rituals that took the blood of those unable to fight.
A number of the older scars he blamed on this man. He had tried to run away countless times and failed each time. Trying to escape the fate he was born into. If he thought he had a chance in hell of winning he might just go and attack the male standing here. Screw talking to him of being in his presence. His father thought so highly of him though. It sickened him to see him standing there with that hint of a smirk on his face.
Mizuki had seen Thalion angry with people before, but they were people he knew or had met before. This seemed to be a stranger yet Thalion was furious. A mix of being furious, fear and being anxious all mixed into one. That was not normal for Thalion. He seemed to be holding his cool as he stood there not really hinting at any of it besides a slight scowl, though that could just be him trying to debate if he trusted the person standing here. Due to the link Mizuki knew there was far more behind that expression then Thalion was letting on.
So much in fact that he caught himself breathing a little to kill the slight spark he felt of his magic going against his will. His emotions getting the better of his magic control at the present time as he stood there. Luckily it wasn't enough to draw any attention unless you were looking for it.
The only good news was that Vaden had walked with Thalion. He had been helping with training the dragons and preventing any ... unneeded damage that the untrained beasts could do. Though Vaden was no fool and knew who the male standing here was. Someone around his own age, they were both from a era long past. A time almost forgotten to the age that was upon the world now.
Vaden knew why Thalion seemed to tense instantly as he squeezed his shoulder to give him a hint to calm down as he walked past him to break this tension and maybe to make Thalion a bit more at ease. Vaden was different from a lot of elder mages. He stayed laid back and didn't seem to resort to using his magic or old rituals unless there was no other way.
"Seavain, it has been too long." The two knew one another and both of them knew better then to get into any fights here. If people thought Mizuki could level this place then these two elder mages going at it would level the country side as well. This was the better option then to let the male stand here and taunt Thalion without breathing a word.
Though to admit things Vaden was curious. Seavain was powerful indeed and had many connections. If he had wanted Mizuki or to see the other he could have found him ages ago... Though he would wait for such information to slip, it always had a way of doing so. Vaden knew back then of the plans for young Thalion, little he could do without going against the Queen's rule. Though that had been some time ago, the ritual had been started all those years ago but never completed. The raid ensured it was never completed.
Either way when Vaden spoke up and stepped forward with a slight bow to the other it seemed to give Thalion a moment to breath correctly. Getting some of his nerve back. Being in here alone even with Mizuki there he knew he stood little chance against anything this bastard wanted to do. Neimi wanted to know why he never celebrated his birthday... because it was coming up soon and he wasn't sure if Seavain showing up was a hint at something or just ill timing of the male before him.
