He didn't stop. He should have and he told himself to but he didn't. He never said a word as he left Mizuki where he was. What the hell did it matter? Mizuki said he did all of this for him and put up with that bastard for him. Like hell he did. If he did all of this for his cause then why was the one Mizuki was trying to spare Thalion from in the castle with the other and not Thalion. Weeks upon weeks had went by and nothing changed. This was the second time they had spoken, well third if you count the first meeting. From what Mizuki's master first got here.

Though now it was late into the evening and once more he found himself alone with his thoughts as he cringed at what he even did. Out of everything... he knew better out of anyone he knew better. After what Mizuki had been through with the fae and what Mizuki had done to him himself once before. He just did something he couldn't take back and he was going to pay for it with having no way to make amends for it.

He couldn't go back. Mizuki would never hear him out and he didn't deserve to be heard out to be honest. Maybe Saevain was right and he was a waste of the damned air he breathed. Fine then... he'd remain away from the male. For both of their sakes. All he did was cause things to be worse and now he knew for a fact he had ruined any chances of things being right again.

The next few days passed and even Belquiri couldn't locate where Thalion had all but vanished off to. It was the day that Vaden had been waiting for something to happen. Though if Thalion couldn't be found maybe there was some stock in what a child told him all those years ago. His other fear was that Saevain had Thalion. Though he doubted the other would do anything to risk all the work he spent on Mizuki by just killing Thalion. No something else was afoot here.

The few days after meeting in the study gave Mizuki time to make up his mind and if he was going to go through with the spell in the book it also gave him time to gather everything he needed. Belquiri stayed out in the courtyard with her younger sibling. She didn't feel right, something felt so wrong about today and it worried her. Almost three days when she last saw father and there was no way to get answers as Mizuki was kept from contact with any of them. Even Luna was unable to get in touch with the male. Of all people she would have been able to talk sense into him.

Though by this time Thalion had made his choice as well. He was tired of running from a damned date. Knowing Saevain he had some means of sparing Mizuki if he killed Thalion. So be it.. he was going to make the damned elder mage remember his name for years to come. That was the thought without knowing any plans. If he failed in the fight so be it, he knew he would. He was walking to his own death and he didn't even seem half as scared of this fact as he should be. No in fact he was looking forward to it. He didn't have to run after it was over with and he didn't have to worry about hurting Mizuki or holding the other back.

His only regrets was that if he failed he wouldn't be there for the kids. He had left a note with the young dragon to give to Belquiri later that evening. Telling her to look after her brothers because Papa wasn't able to and that he was sorry if this note got to her it meant he had failed them. Though the end of it was that he always would love them even if he didn't always show it or didn't seem to have the time. Just as he would always love their Papa and someday they'd be a family again. If you believed in the afterlife anyway. It was a nice thought.

Either way he had his plans for Saevain, he was going to show this damned mage who he was picking a fight with. Who knows maybe even if he was killed he could get a fatal strike off to do the mage in as well. Nit likely but it was worth a shot, he wasn't just going to roll over and let him continue toying with him and calling him a failure. He might be one and everything he said might be true but damn it he was going to hold his own as long as he could.
