He was prepared for the final blow. Hell he couldn't move really so what choice did he have in it. He had no energy to spell case and it was almost all he could do to just keep himself steady enough to keep from bowing to the damned bastard before him. Like hell he'd rather take the last shot to the head then to lower himself any further and allow the satisfaction of it.

He hated thinking this was it but everything screamed at him that it was. Till he heard someone all but scream his name. Before he even had time to look up Mizuki was between him and the spell that would have finished this. What was... why was Mizuki here? great something else to go wrong was his tired minds excuse as to what the other was doing here let alone protecting him.

Though he didn't get to question this as Mizuki seemed to take over in the fight. Not that he was going to complain now that was for sure. No instead he watched as the other attacked Saevain and spoke. Though it was words he hardly felt he deserved hearing after everything. He had half looked forward to this being the end of it.

But Mizuki was right. This kingdom was built because they didn't want to be apart. It had flourished and grown over the years and even through the fights the two managed to keep things together in the long run. Even managing to keep a family and raise it through all of the chaos. Yet this one person had nearly managed to destroy all of that...

Never the less Saevain seemed to think Mizuki was alone. To be honest with Saevain beaten a little as he was Vaden could have probably taken care of the other with enough ease. Though it was a sight to see. Everyone still backing the pair of them through every stupid or wise choice them made over the years.

Though after that the fight seemed to be over. He was half out of it or mostly by then anyway. Saevain was captured alive at Mizuki's request and Mizuki seemed to start to go over to where Thalion still was. Though it seemed they were both a bit worse for wear.

Not that it mattered. By this time Thalion gave up on staying awake. Everything hurt and the flecks were still there. Something Vaden actually could explain if asked. None the less Thalion was out of it. He had a right to be though, probably the most spells he ever bothered to cast in one setting in a long while if not ever. Plus the wounds on top of it all and the link taking back over as far as connecting like it should have been.

Everything said and done they were both taken to the medic ward. Mizuki seemed to at least stay awake. Though probably concerned he had gotten there too late in the end. It was close to be honest. Nothing the medics and healers couldn't take care of but the energy loss still was something to contend with.

Vaden stuck around just in case anything else Mizuki could think of popped up though Mizuki seemed to bring up the red flecks. Vaden was there the say the curse was lifted. He waved it off saying it was hardly the curse coming back.

"Each magic type is different. As well as the races that use them. Given how old Thalion is his magic powers actually aren't matured, the flecks are normal." He seemed to think on this a little before crossing his arms. "A bit early.. they shouldn't be showing up for another .. forty some years give or take a few." He shrugged a little hardly seeming too concerned about it.

Though it had been a few hours from when they were dragged here after the fight. By this time Thalion seemed to come to again, probably waking up form the pain he was in. They could only treat so much when he was out of it. Though apparently he didn't remember too much near the end of things like the fight ending. He had half thought everything with Mizuki was a dream or something.

Either way he was up and the sudden jerking motion from sitting up was something he regretted right away as he double over. "that... tells me .. i'm not dead." He groaned a little his body making him pay for that sudden fast movement as he stayed there.
