[Rosekitten]

The leader of this now one man troop seemed to smile before his next words. "Thalion I'm rather surprised at you. Killing all but one of my men and you never let them get so much as a scream off." He acted like he was talking to someone but it wasn't his lone knight. But that knight did not last long as he seemed to be afflicted by something out of the blue.

The solider seemed to double over in pain as his skin showed boils and in places he just suddenly burst open as steam left the wounds. Mere moments after this the man drooped dead right behind his commander.

"Thalion!" He barked again "Crimson mage, traitor to the crown. Show yourself" A slight hint of panic in the man's voice, he knew that he was being toyed with. Aside from the slight hint of fear the man showed no emotion once so ever and the fear was quickly hidden through his years of training and service.

"I've not been called that in a while..." A familiar voice sounded from near-by. Thalion never knew the girl that had saved him was there, he had his own motives. "You came with so little troops I never bothered to waste my time on what the forest could do for me." The hood was still covering his face as he stepped forward towards the last of the queen's squad.

"should have known you ween't behind them vanishing, your methods always were bloodier" The man spoke as he had his weapon at the ready, a lance with a green aura at it's tip. "The queen wants your head on a platter..personally" He spoke again as he weighed the odds he had in this fight.

Thalion seemed the least bit concerned as he stood there almost lazily from the looks of it. "She should come here herself instead of sending weak underlings... I should leave you alive to tell her that." The commander had found his opening by this point as he went to strike forward but was stopped dead in his tracks as the deceased solider that was behind his grabbed his foot.

"what trickery is this!" the man cried kicking his foot free all too late as Thalion was in far too close for his weapon to be of use. He quickly put a hand upon the commanders face as his palm glowed for a brief moment before he released him again.

"go back to your queen her seeks can read your minds eye and see what I plan, her blood will be mine" Thalion hissed out at the man before turning and walking away. Leaving the commander to scream in his agony, though the man did as he was told though from his body movements it seemed forced and not of his own will.

Thalion only walked a few mere steps before casting his hand back to the corpse of the solider he had killed. The body quickly caught ablaze, though after the corpse was consumed the flame died out slowly not touching anything else.

He wiped the corner of his mouth and seemed to look at his hand before walking again. there had been a dab of blood there, though he knew why and for now he didn't have the time to worry over such things.
