He sighed a little keeping his arms crossed before speaking. "The Drow are not like most races, we hardly see it as a bad thing to offer someones life to please the god or goddess that we think we are on bad terms with. Not that such offerings help but it is more of the magic and rituals behind them that do the work to correct whatever is wrong." Or so the saying went, he never saw a purpose in using a life to get anything, it didn't solve anything doing so.

"Thalion was born with the sole purpose of maturing to the age of seven and being offered to get rid of the curse the elder dragon had placed on the royal family. Your master was the one who brought this ritual to light." He paused there letting the information sink in a little before going on.

"The raid happened a mere week before his seventh birthday, he had tried countless times to run away by that point and I'm not sure how he got away that night to be honest as his mother had resorted to keeping him locked up just to make sure he didn't escape or kill himself before she was ready to do so." The sad part was he had to sit back and watch this the whole time. Once he even ended up having to bring young Thalion back himself out of orders.

"But there you have your answers, Thalion fears that man and I don't know if it is misplaced fear or not. It seems a bit strange for him to show up this close to the date the young lord was born on out of the blue." Either way Mizuki had his answers so there was little else he could actually say. Though that book also said just how old Thalion was now as well if Mizuki was paying attention to that detail or not.

"did you know as a child he use to hide during that day? He told me once when he was little that if no one found him the day wouldn't happen. Thats how he got through that day was making out like it never came to pass." He only remembered that from back then because it was funny but sad at the same time. For someone to want to hide and not be found just to prevent the passage of time.

"But there you are my lord... you wished to know and now you do. Thalion is not avoiding you because he wants to. He is avoiding the one person that deemed his life to not be worth living."
