If life was simple would it be worth living? This was something two young males thought of constantly but change was afoot. One needed the change needed to leave and another was forced to fallow foot. Now its years later and even though both are still young years have been added to knowledge. So young and unaware of what was to come a mysterious prophecy drifted on the wind "Two friends once lost then found were forever alone till bound. One fate becomes two as times become new. Together they stand as one alone and everything is done. To beat one darkness a light must be shined but with dark hearts even the light is blind." For the two it meant nothing but unbeknownst to them it meant everything.

For a while Thalion had been trying to come up with a way to tell Mizuki that he was leaving in a week. Though he had started trying to come up with such a way to tell him for the past few months. Each time he was going to tell him something came up and he never got around to doing it. Now it was a week from the date that the group going to train for the guard or solider units were suppose to leave for training.

Now he was standing there waiting for Mizuki at their normal spot and he had every plan to tell him before anything happened or before the other went about some plan he had. This wasn't going to turn out well and he knew it but if he didn't tell him now he'd never get the chance to do so. Mizuki was against the solider units, saying magic was were it was at. Though it helped when you had a gift in magic and didn't already fail or nearly fail every test under the sun and moon there was to be had using the magic elements.

Their friend was waiting there as well. Oddly it was a young girl that seemed to keep up with the two. She was just in the area today and wasn't busy so she wanted to see how this turned out. She knew that Thal was planning to leave ages ago, even before he had made his mind up. Maybe she was here to make sure the two didn't go at each other again, knowing Mizuki wasn't going to take this well. Last time it happened Thal nearly ended up in the medic ward from one of Mizuki's untrained spells.

Mizuki ran through the people dodging and jumping as he did "Excuse me! Pardon me!" He said as he ran. His long pointed ears laid flat to a pale head and white hair that was back in a little pony tail. Light lavender eyes watched everything as it passed. He was late! That was the only thought in his mind as Mizuki rounded a corner his crystal swinging to one side before he stuck is foot down and began his fast pace once more.

Mizuki turned another corner and ran over a bridge before skidding to a stop right in front of Thalion. Huffing he was hunched over eyes closed as he rested pale hands on white clad knees "S-sorry" He said in pants as he stood his chest still heaving "Magic class ran over a little" He said after his breath finally cought up to him "Anyways...whats up?" He asked lightly tilting his head "When you spoke to me earlier it sounded rather important" Mizuki said his eye brows frowning a little.

This was when Mizuki looked at Thalion and noticed the face he was getting. Then his eyes drifted over to Nyla who was looking down at the ground kicking at a rock that was not there "Okay..." He said looking back to Thalion "Seriously...whats wrong?" He said the worry showing in his voice.

[Rosekitten]

Mizuki was late, he was never late. He was leaning against a tree by the time Mizuki managed to get to where they were. At first he wasn't sure what Mizuki was going to say as he was panting and saying that magic class went over. A class that Thalion often skipped saving himself the headache of hearing the teacher telling him to focus harder.

Well cat was out of the bag now. No point in sugar coating it as he sighed once before saying what he needed to say. "I was accepted into the guard training. And before you say that I could have magic because i didn't fail all of the tests save your breath because it's already arranged that I'm leaving in a week." Mizuki had wanted the two of them to keep training together as they always did, but when it came to magic Thal seemed... either to have none and that was almost unheard of for any type of elf or he had next to no talent in the stuff.

"And im sorry I didn't tell you sooner, i know what you think of the guard training and... i mean to tell you sooner." He looked away for a moment knowing he should have said something sooner. But it was late now and he was pretty prepared for Mizuki to be furious with how he just told him.

[Pinkie]

Mizukis fastly beating heart stopped as the words left Thalions lips. The guard...Thalion was leaving to train for the kings army not to mention the fact that he is going to leave for a week. Mizuki took a step back "A week....and you tell me now?" Mizuki said in a hurt and angry voice. "How long have we knowen each other Thalion?!" He asked his voice raising a little. "And you" He said turning hurt lavender eyes to Nyla "You knew this as well?" He asked and judging from her lok she had.

Mizuki growled his ears dipping flat to his head as he balled his fists together as the anger grew "And neither of you could say anything..." This was when he began to hear the argument that Thalion tried to give saying that he tried to tell him but Mizuki cut him off before he could finish "If I meant anything to you...I would have found out before now...no matter what got in the way" With that he turned and slowly began walking. Though the light foot falls soon became harsher as he began to run.

Mizuki closed his eyes and ran. He knew the lay out of the town like nothing. Dodging and jumping he ran to the edge of town. He wanted to get away to a place that even Thalion couldnt find and only one place came to mind.

Running he jumped over logs and rolled down a hill. Passed through trees and bushes until he squeezed between two large rocks covered in thickets. On the other side an open area hid a water fall. The soft trickles calming the nerves. This was when everything finally sunk in and Mizuki fell to his knees and sniffled.

[Rosekitten]

Of course he tried to argue that he couldn't or that things got in the way. Poor excuses at best but still. Mizuki always said people went to the guard training to die, no one ever came back and if they did it was rare. Though mostly it was because they were needed on active duty and not because they were slain but still. None of it mattered he already knew that Mizuki wasn't going to listen to reason.

Before he could say anything else Mizuki had run off. He sighed before looking at Nyla. "well.. that went well.." Hardly and they both knew it. Thal started to go after Mizuki but stopped half way through town. There was no way he was going to find Mizuki when he didn't want to be found. A week before he had to leave and odds were that he wouldn't see the other at all. It was true they had been friends for years and probably getting into more trouble than they'd care to admit.. but still. Mizuki was right though, he should have been the first to know.

[Pinkie]

The fallowing days went on and Mizuki did everything in his power to stay away from the other male. He did not know why but what had taken place was worse then an actual blade to the back. No it hurt so much worse. Mizuki knew that the days were getting down there and he should go and see Thalion once before the male left but if he did what would happen? Would they fight and argue? He really did not want their last day together to be something like that. With a sigh Mizuki left in search of the other male.

Walking through the streets he checked every where he thought the male would be even as far as going to Thalions home but it would seem the male was no where to be seen. What was he to do? Where on earth could Thalion be. Turning he bumped into something and groaned "Oh im so sorry I should watch wh-" But his words were stopped at the sound of his name "Mizuki" Looking he smiled slightly "Helly Nyla...have you seen Thalion?" He asked with a little tilt of his head earning a little hurt look in return.

Mizuki right then knew what it meant "He already left...didnt he" Mizuki said hanging his head some "Im sorry Mizuki..." Nyla said with a frown "It clearly dose not matter" He said with a growl turning his back to the female and leaving. Mizuki was crushed the male had left and there was no good by other then a fight for their last meeting.

[Rosekitten]

After a while Thal tried to talk to Mizuki again only to get a similar response from the other. He expected a bit of cold shoulder but he wasn't expecting Mizuki to be mad for the rest of the week. What if... no Mizuki would at least talk to him before he had to leave right? Or so he thought anyway.

It wasn't from lack of trying to talk to Mizuki during the week that was certain. But every chance the other got he seemed to vanish. The last day he gave up finally figuring maybe things were better off this way. Odds were Mizuki didn't forgive him for not saying something sooner. It was a hell of a thing for two that were friends for most of their lives to break off all contacts for. But it seemed he had no other choice in the matter.

It wasn't fair to Nyla to have to watch the two avoid one another but there was nothing she could do about it. Maybe if fate had other plans they would someday get to see each other again, though that was many years down the road. She tried to reason with Mizuki that Thal had attempted to talk to him for the whole week and he had ignored him. But she knew her words fell on deaf ears.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki didnt know what to do but in the end he did. He knew that now that he was alone there was nothing left for him to do but make sure he was alone. After Thalion left he had decided his magic was his strong point and that was where he would go. The fallowing day Mizuki packed everything he needed and left early morning. It was time to find a master to train for as long as it took to master everything he could. Mizuki knew that his hand to hand was nothing to great but his magic with training could be better then hand to hand any day and he would prove that.

As the days went by Mizuki searched for a master until he found one that he saw fit. A male known Naveen. He was elderly in age and wise in many ways. The time turned from days to months to years and even with all the training the one thing that rested on his mind was Thalion though after awhile even those thoughts left.

Days into years and years into centries. Now it had been 95 years and Mizuki was tall and slim. His once short hair now fell in a long white braid that rested over his shoulder and fell out of the hood of his white cloak. Light lavender eyes looked forward in a dull lifeless way as they had for many years now though the time has come to return and he couldnt help but think it was a bad idea.

Now Mizuki stood at the edge of the village he left so long ago. Just from the looks of it he could see that it had grown so large when he was gone but in 95 years it was expected. "Are we going or are you going to stand gawking at it all day?" Mizuki ignored the female beside him as he walked forward his staff in his hand clinking against the ground with his level foot steps.

Walking he headed until he found a tavern inn. Walking in silently he went up to the bar "A room two beds" He said in a low voice. The bartender turned and looked at him "We are full" He said then Mizuki reached into his cloak and placed a bag of gold coins on the table and the man looked at him before grabbing the bag "Leena!" He yelled and a female came running "Show these two to the master sweet" He said and Mizuki nodded his head once before fallowing.

[Rosekitten]

It had bothered him more than he had let Nyla know the day he left. He hated just leaving without at least making mends with Mizuki. Hell they had fought before but they always got over it. This time there was no getting over it though or so it seemed. She joked saying that whenever he got done this place would still be here. He figured she was just joking, though of coarse he hoped his home town was still standing by the time he finished training.

He had finished training years ago, he just stuck around in the ranks to better his own skills and to train new recruits. He had almost forgotten about his home till a newcomer got talking about how large the place had gotten over the years. How long had it been? He laughed a little at his thoughts of going back and Mizuki still being there. Yeah if he was he would still be livid for sure. This was a thought he toyed with for a few weeks before he deiced it was a good time to go back home. Maybe for a while anyway, it wasn't like he had to stay around. He had refused a number of rank ups just to avoid the paper work that followed the ranks.

He sighed a little standing at the gate to the town now, it was almost painful to even come back here. He had lost a lot even before he lost Mizuki's friendship in this place. He finally shook his head a little before walking into the town but not till after he had to tell the guards off with them saying they were having a problem with thugs and such. "Do I look like a damned thug? By the goddess the watch has gotten worse..." He groaned a little listening to their load of crap they were spouting out before he heard a voice not long before he was half tackled. "Thal!!"

He barely got to see who even called his name before he had a female wood elf attacked to him. He glared a little at the guards before they seemed to back off this time. "You two are blind if you don't know who this is! it's not been-ok it has..." One of the guards Thal remembered going to school with though she was right that was some years ago. Though this was indication enough that he wasn't the one or one of the ones they were looking for.

"Warning next time Nyla... " She stuck her tongue out at him before letting go and skipping back a little. "God you almost didn't grow any taller..." She frowned a little before Thal blinked some at her words. "I'm not that damn short... 5'10 is well enough.." She smiled before she turned and walked with him. "I wasn't expecting you to come back and even after your letter... " She looked down a little.

It was after this she explained Mizuki had left shortly after he did. It was one of the first things he had asked her in the letter was how Mizuki was. "I haven't heard form him.. I'm sorry. You two shouldn't have left on-" "Well guess it didn't matter." Thal cut her off as they walked towards the tavern, the older one that was still standing in the section of town that he remembered growing up in. At least that didn't change too much.He just wanted to relax, just a little. As far as he was concerned he was off duty for now, there was no war going on so what did it matter.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki after the room made his way down to the tavern. There is where he moved to a small table in the corner with two chairs. The table was just far enough to be covered in shadow perfect for Mizuki who didnt want to be seen. Sitting in the chair and leaning back he placed softly clothed feet on the table as the cloak flowed around him hiding everything but pale skin, soft lips and a long white braid that fell over a chest and across folded arms.

Mizuki sat there with eyes closed as his pointed ears listened to the noise in the room around him. He sat there and listed as the soft rumble soon turned into many people laughing and drinking. Oh how the times changed Mizuki thought as he sat there with his staff across his lap.

Mizuki was minding his own as a man fell into the table knocking his feet over causing them to land on the ground with a thud. "H-hey...sorry man" A drunk male said and Mizuki did not reply instead he lifted his feet back up and placed them once more on the table. He was silent and ignored the male before him. Mizuki learned that words get you into trouble so speaking was something he rarely did these days.

"What...t-to good to t-talk to m-me...?" The drunk male said as he slammed his cup on the table and Mizuki sighed. It seemed to him that his night was going to be anything but calm. "Hey...hes talking to you" Another man behind the first said and Mizuki sighed "Look...I heard him the first time and I chose not to respond for this exact reason. Now if you would take your Neanderthal ways and leave me be I would happy" Mizuki said still not looking up from his hood "Why you..." And the fight was on.

Mizuki stood and with one sweep of his staff he had one trapped on the ground and the other half bent as wood from the floor and a near by table lashed out and caught the two males. "I told you...I didnt want a problem" He said "Now either a...you leave me be or b I make you leave me be" He said before he heard gurgled A's from both men "Good" With that the wood was back to normal leaving two gasping males on the floor and Mizuki once again in his chair ignoring the stairs from every other person in the bar. Even as the door opened announcing the arrival of newcomers.

[Rosekitten]

Even though the fighting lasted mere seconds it was enough to cause the tavern keep to send his little worker to fetch someone to deal with this issue. Of course Thal wasn't going to get the break he so wanted, his dress alone gave away he was part of the guard. Though his rank was misleading to say the least. Maybe he liked it that way though. He was busy talking to Nyla just outside the tavern as the messenger nearly ran into them both.

He stood there listening to the rushed words of the boy before he sighed. He didn't need to hear anymore, magic was being used against others. He hardly enjoyed this part of his job, he figured both parties were drunk. Though walking in he barely caught the end of the fight as the 'newcomer' sat once more after his trouble was dealt with. The tavern keep was already at the door explaining things before Thal stopped him. "I'm handling it now.. I don't need to hear the story recited twice."

He shook his head a little as Nyla walked with him towards the stranger. he was going to handle this in a official manner like he was suppose to. all sides of the story and all that mess. "So care to tell me what happened? Or what gives you the right to use magic on commoners." This little speech including asking for identification though he paused in asking for that as the one he was speaking to looked up a little from where he was sitting. There was no way this was... that wouldn't be his luck wouldn't it.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki wanted to sigh the moment he noticed the shadow grow darker from the one that blocked the little light he had. He was about to shove the guard off when the voice rang in his head. Out of all his luck in the world and this happens. Mizuki looked up a little just the rim of light lavender eyes looked up and his thoughts ended with rage as he saw the male before him.

Even though it had been many years Mizuki would know the drow anywhere. The dark skin and pointed ears but the red hair and almost yellow eyes was what told him he was right. At the males comment Mizuki did sigh "Simple...just another male out of his place" Mizuki hissed a little as he leaned back in the chair though when the male before him didnt move he opened light lavender eyes and glared. As he moved he stood up infront of Thalion, his height of 6'0 making him look a little down at the male so his pale face and light eyes were fully seen from the shorter male "Though...we know all about that done we....Thalion" He said and before the male could react a right hook met the males cheek sending his head to the side and Thalion stumbling.

[Rosekitten]

He was right, he had never seen anyone with that shade of eyes in all of the years. Though he wasn't expecting the super shot that Mizuki got off that was certain. He had wanted to avoid a fight but yet he knew already his temper was going to get the better of him. At first he had tried to ignore the fact of who it was he was talking to to handle the first situation, but now he couldn't just do that.

Nyla flinched from the sudden strike and she knew already who this 'stranger' was. "Oh no.." She whimpered a little not knowing what to expect from either side. Before at the least she knew what to expect.. but now. They both had gone through years of training, they might do more damage than - No they had to be stopped before than but how?

It took him a moment to shake his head to recover himself enough to even say anything. "Answers my question." He said before drawing a blade and striking towards Mizuki. Of course the attack was blacked, he wasn't quite trying to land a blow. "Still mad after all this time, here I was almost regretting that I didn't say anything to you before I left. I take that thought back."

Once there was a little bit of space between the two again he figured he could remind Mizuki that he wasn't the only one who had trained all of these years. He needed to goat him first. "Going to do like you always did Mizuki? Know your outmatched in such a small space... go ahead and use your magic." If the two weren't so blindly mad at one another such a taunt probably wouldn't work. But he was going to let Mizuki had a taste of what he had been perfecting over the years. A simple reflect spell would be a good start.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki growled as he took down his hood his pointed ears and pale face finally visable to everyone else and he ignored the whispers that fallowed from the other elvens in the room. "You take the thought back just like you do with everything else" Mizuki said in a hiss as he listened to the male. Though he was just going to leave until the next taunt came. Magic eh... Oh he could show him magic "Just remember you asked for it" He smirked.

Just as he spoke a white light shone from his hand and with a flick of his wrist ice shards flew from finger tips to spray out into hundreds of tiny shards. It was an attack that was meant to drastically hurt the other, Mizuki was pissed. Even with the spell Mizuki didnt stop there. With his other hand he flicked it down and the wood of the floor twisted and turned until tendrils shot forth causing the walls to shake.

Luna stood there looking out the window with a sigh. She knew the story behind the village and the history her master had here. Though she couldnt understand why he would want to return. Turning towards the bed she was about to sit before the shaking of the ground caused her to stumble a little. "Oh no..." She had a feeling and she hoped she was wrong. Running she darted down the stairs and stopped dead in her tracked at the sight before her "Mast Mizuki...STOP!" She said as she darted towards him.

[Rosekitten]

"Everything else?! Your one to talk." He growled at Mizuki hearing that the other said he took back everything. Nyla stood there a little scared as to what to do, she could stop Thal but Mizuki was another story altogether. 'Please stop.. stop fighting... its been so long ago and you two are still ready to rip one another apart over nothing..' she pleaded with whatever god was listening to her.

As soon as Mizuki had launched his attacked thal was ready for them. It was similar tactics the other had used when they were younger. Of course more deadly this time around. About the same time Mizuki had cast the first spell Thal already had cast the reflect or counter spell. The orbs of course were the first to meet this defense. All the while the second spell was dismissed after the first strike it unleashed as a breaker spell was used to cancel its effects, though the wood was still warped and twisted.

Nyla finally gave in as she noticed someone trying to stop Mizuki. "Thal! Please... you said you came here to get away from the fighting" She tried to plead with him but it wasn't even registering that he was hearing her. He probably wasn't. He was about to cast something else to fuck with Mizuki's spells as she grabbed his arm. "Stop it! Your suppose to protect people remember? If you keep this up someone is going to get hurt and it's not either of you two I'm worried about."
