Just as Thalions had was grabbed Mizuki was pulled back by two dragonoid arms "Master Mizuki!" Luna hissed as she pulled the male back "We should never of come here" Luna said as Mizuki struggled before he hissed "Your right...every connection I thought I had to this place was just ruined from one person" He hissed glaring at Thalion "And to think...I still held you highly in my head" He said with a growl "You should of just been a man and taken the punch" He growled before he shook Luna off.

Turning he removed the spell from Thalion before walking towards the door his staff in hand "Nothing is left for me here" He said pulling the hood back over his head "Luna its time to leave" He said his steps not stopping as he walked. Luna looked at the two "Im sorry" She said with a bow before turning and fallowing after Mizuki in a light run.

[Rosekitten]

He only bit his tongue in his comment that Mizuki could have been man enough to not run because Nyla still was holding his arm. Otherwise he might have tried something else on the spell caster... Nyla watched Mizuki leave and looked down when the girl with him said sorry as she shook her head almost trying to say it wasn't his fault. It was but it wasn't they were both to blame on this one. After 95 years and they still were mad at one another?

Either way Thal went about apologizing to the Tavern owner before helping clean up the slight mess in the place. Luckily it wasn't a lot of damage so it was repairable. Once that was complete he left the tavern and Nyla was still following him. "where are you going?" "Leaving." Was the short and simple reply. "Al-already? You just got here, you haven't said-" "I shouldn't have come back in the first place Nyla, I came back because you asked me to."

He paused a little and sighed before turning to look at her. "It was nice seeing you again, but my place isn't here anymore. I shouldn't have come back." She stood there as he started to walk off again, what was she suppose to do? She couldn't stop them, she hadn't even gotten the chance to say anything to Mizuki because of all of this. What was she hoping for? That over the years they would have dropped the grudge?

She balled her fists suddenly and yelled after him. "Your both jerks! The three of us haven't seen each other in over ninety some years and you two act like it happened yesterday!" He turned to look at her just in time to see she was upset and almost to the point of cry as she ran off. "Nyla!" He sighed a little knowing he couldn't leave like this, so instead he tried to follow her. She was heading back to the spot where the three of them use to hang out, it gave her comfort over the years... it was the only place she could ease her worries and say that they both were alright.

[Pinkie]

"Mizuki!" He heard his name but did nothing to stop. His mind was troubled and his feet kept moving. Where he was going not even Mizuki knew but by the time he looked up he stopped dead in his tracks. "After all this time..." He said to himself as he looked at the spot before him. It was a grassy area covered in trees to hide the nature. It was their spot or rather...it used to be their spot.

"How did it come to this?" He asked Luna as she stopped behind him "Because some one dose not know how to control his temper" She said crossing her arms looking at him "You know as well as I that is not the case" He said turning pale lavender eyes towards her. Looking at her he noticed the arms uncross as she sighed a little her bright blue eyes closing "No...its because you love him" She said before they reopened and Mizuki sighed closing his own eyes looking down to the ground.

"Admit it Mizuki..." She said to him "You do and I know you do...no one could have conections to a place after a hundred years unless there was greater meaning to it" She said while she crossed her arms once more "Your going to deny it and say you love him like a friend but it runs deeper and your problem is that you cant see it...or dont want to" Luna said with a little growl.

Mizuki shook his head "Your wrong" He simply said with a shrug of his shoulders "Its the fact that I know I do and I know its not returned that makes the pain so much worse" He said in a barely audible whisper. "Thats why I should of never returned..." He said "I knew there would be nothing but hate that came from that man....but just" Mizuki paused "Just seeing him one last time...will have to do" He said his heart breaking a little more as he spoke.

Turning he made to leave the area his feet had taken him to "Come on Luna...we have overstayed our welcome" He said as he felt the eyes on him fallow him as he left the little clearing. He knew some one was watching them. That was why he had said what he did at the moment otherwise something like that would have been kept inside just like it had been for a hundred or more years.

[Rosekitten]

Nyla was the one watching Mizuki and Luna talk. When Mizuki noticed her she decided it was time to confront him or at the least get through to one side or the other. It was probably going to fail but she knew that Thal was going to avoid this place if he could help it so she had some time between her and Mizuki. She hastened her step enough to stand in Mizuki's way. Her eyes still a bit red from her bout with Thalion.

She never said a word as she delivered a slap across Mizuki's cheek that was probably unexpected. Nyla wasn't known to be violent in the least. "Your both idiots!" She told him before she went on, she had heard enough between him and the girl he was with. "You don't even know why he left for the guard training do you? You never let him tell you, you never let me tell you either. You always shoved the topic away when I tried talking to you and you made sure he couldn't get close enough to tell you."

She balled her fists up again before blurting out the reason. "Well damn it your going to listen to me, he did it so he wouldn't hold you back any longer!" She breathed out looking up at Mizuki as she spoke. "Don't say he wasn't holding you back, he was. You would have never left if he stayed here. You kept trying to get him to find that one spark of magic that one out of the ten tests said he had. Even if you did leave to train you would have left him here. It's not like he could have gone with you."

She moved from in front of him so he could go back to walking if he wished. "Now you can leave but at least now you know. Both of you can leave for all I care. I'm tired of seeing you two fight, and all because he wanted to stop holding you back." She looked away from Mizuki and turned to start walking towards the central tree again before she placed a hand on it.

Mizuki had walked far enough from the tree that he wasn't noticed at first when Thalion finally did catch up to Nyla, though it took so long from trying to avoid this place. "Nyla. Look I'm sorry I-" He stopped taking Notice that Mizuki was standing off to the side. He was about to say something and thought better of it as he turned and started to take a few steps. It was better to just shut up and avoid another fight.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki stopped the moment that Nyla came into his view. He knew what was going to happen before it happened and the fact that his head was turned to the side and his cheek stung told him he was right. Turning lavender eyes towards her he simply listened to what she had to say and said nothing as she spoke. It was not until she turned and walked some away that he was ready to speak hut the words died on his lips the moment Thalions voice reached his ears.

"i knew he was..." Mizuki said as he paused "but no one...not one asked if I cared" he said turning to look at the both of them. "No one asked how I felt...what I thought or cared...it was only what the both of you wanted" Mizuki said with a little laugh "Did it never cross your mind that I didnt carw...as long as I stood at your side?" He asked his eyes locking with that of Thalions "no...it was only what you wanted in the end" he said and turned his feet once again walking away from the two of them.

[Rosekitten]

Thal glared at a little at Nyla who went to grab him before he did something stupid. But she didn't make it in time before Thal had moved to walk after Mizuki. HE caught up to Mizuki with ease before making the other turn as he grabbed him and forced him against a tree that was luckily near by or it might have been to the ground. "I tried to ask if you cared, you never gave me a damn straight answer so don't go pulling that crap on me that it was what I wanted."

He wasn't done though not yet and he dared Mizuki to try any of his spell at this range. "Did you ever think maybe I wanted to stand at your side, as a equal instead of always being forced to stand back and watch as you took care of everything?" He meant any of the fights they got into Mizuki always won, of course he did Thal had next to nothing in magic and no means to fight against it. Even when they got into fights with others he could barely keep up with Mizuki let alone help him in the least.

He let go of Mizuki's shit finally and stepped back a little. "You know what, your right maybe I am selfish and I'm sorry. But I'm also sorry I came back to this damned place." He saw this was going no where anyway so why bother trying to reason with the other. As far as Mizuki saw it it was Thal's fault for this. That he should have accepted being weak and being unable to protect anyone he cared about just for the sake of staying here.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki growled as he was grabbed. He knew exactly how this would play out and he was right the moment his back was shoved into the nearest tree. Glaring he looked down into the shorter males eyes. He knew that if he was to try and get away he would just be forced back. This was the lesser of the two evils though he couldnt ignore the words that were said to him. "You can be sorry that you came back...that you were maybe a little selfish" Mizuki said "But for everything else you turn a blind eye" He said.

"You tried to tell me....you had so long to do so and all you can say was that you tried?" Mizuki said with a little tilt of his head his anger catching up to him "If I ever meant even the slightest bit to you...you would have found a way to tell me" He said "Even in the worst of times it would of been better then finding out last minute" Mizuki said with a growl as he stepped closer to Thalion "But no...you didnt think of that of...nor did you think about what you were doing when you did it!" Mizuki all but yelled.

Even in that time Thalion knew of the views that Mizuki had on everything and yet he still went and joined the guard even going behind his back to do so. "You lied and hid it until you felt the need to tell me....because you felt you had to...not because you wanted to" Mizuki said now meer inches from the male before him "You might as well of taken a real knife and stabbed me in the back" He hissed into the drows face before him.

Mizuki knew of the males temper, he knew how bad it could be and what was needed to be said to spark it and that was what he was going for. To hell with keeping calm and running. He was done running "Whats wrong Thalion....your superior a little to close?" he hissed down into his face hearing the gasped shock from Nyla and the look of Thalions face he knew he said the right thing.

[Rosekitten]

His ears went back a little showing he was more than annoyed with all of this. He had a short temper at best but that was known. Yet Mizuki kept pushing, everything he said it was all one sided. Saying if he cared or if he thought anything other than about himself he would have told him instead of trying. Even f he had told him months in advanced he would have gotten the same reaction.

Mizuki hated the guards, let alone it was rare for a elf to want to join. Though it was rare for one to have next to no magic talents either. For the moment at the least he bit his tongue and kept what he thought to himself. He had it in his mind he wasn't about to get into another fight with him. Not this time. Screw fighting with him, he just wanted to get this over with and leave town.

But Mizuki kept going on, let alone getting closer to him. It was pressing his will to even want to avoid a fight with the other. That was when Mizuki said it... thats what he thought this was about?! Was it? Even after explaining why he had left why he had wanted to join the guard it wasn't good enough for the other. What was good enough? Would it really have been better to stay here? Was it so bad he had opened paths for the both of them to go out and live a little?

He clenched a fist before he knew what was going on. The downside to having anti magic abilities.. were that you were suppose to not have magic to begin with. Opening his hand the slight spark that had appeared vanished as he backed away from Mizuki. "You know what... its not worth it." He shook his head before he moved to turn and walk away a little.

"You think this about who was stronger or because I didn't care? Fuck your more dense than I ever could be." Least on this he was. "I left so I could be with you, no matter where you went or what you decided to do. I left so I could at least try to protect those that I cared about. But you can say whatever you want about my reasons for not telling you." He didn't care if the other had more to say at the moment he was done and he had barely kept his composure as it was.

[Pinkie]

"Time to explain is never worth it...at least not in your eyes Thalion" He said lightly as the male turned from him "It never was and it never will be" Mizuki said with a shrug of his shoulders "You say you did it for me...to stay here beside me...yet you knew how far and how long you would be gone" He said with a growl "You knew exactly what was to happen if you were to sign up" Mizuki said "Thats running away from me...not staying beside me" Mizuki said turning and walking the other way from the male.

"I knew me coming back was the worst thing I could of done" Mizuki said though paused in his steps "I...just needed to say an actual goodbye" Mizuki said before turning. This was where he shocked the three before him "Goodbye Thalion" It was short and simple but it was the goodbye he was never able to say as a child. Now...maybe his mind could rest a little.

Standing right up he never looked at the three as his eyes stayed closed as he turned and began walking again "Come along Luna..." He said simply and before long he heard the steps fall behind him. He half wondered if things would have been different if he confessed what he should have but that thought left as soon as he entered the darkness of the trees.

[Rosekitten]

He had nothing left to say to the other, not till Mizuki said goodbye. He cared more than he let on to. Mizuki saying those words hurt, he liked it better when they didn't say good bye. It made it see like someday they could see each other again and everything be well. But now ... it felt over.

"Tsk, have your good bye than." He said towards the other hardly caring if Mizuki was listening. "If I never see you again it'll be all too soon." He said before going back to walking the other direction. Nyla was going to stop Thal but didn't. He had a right to leave, they both did. She sighed before leaning against the tree again. They'd never get along would they?

[Pinkie]

Mizukis steps slipped a little but he kept walking. He knew that Thalion would say something but he never thought he would get the answer that he did. Yes...it was good bye or so he thought.

The fallowing days he gathered what he needed but there was one herb he was out of and he knew that it was going to be hard to get. Going to the herb shop he stepped inside and went right to the keeper "Hello sir" He said bowing his head "Aww good day my boy what can I get for you?" The elderly male said and Mizuki smiled "You by chance wouldnt have any Ivies tongue would you?" He asked and right then got a weird look.

"One second my boy" The keeper said before going into the back. It was a herb that not many knew how to use so hardly anyone kept it. Not to mention the fact it was imported from the eastern mountain range. Mizuki waited though the longer the keeper took the more he began to think his welcome was outstayed.

Just as he turned to leave the door opened and two royal guards stepped in. Mizuki tightened the grip on his staff "Sir...would you please fallow us" The male said and Mizuki raised a brow "Where and why" He asked simply and the guard simply said "The king request" was the simple reply and Mizuki groaned.

[Rosekitten]

He had thought twice about what he had said to the other, maybe he shouldn't have said it. But it was days later by now and he was busy ... up until yesterday in traveling back to where he was. Though one of his commanders stopped him about half way meeting him and saying that the king was requesting to see them. The commander knew why but he never breathed a word to Thal.

Once they were there, in the last place Thal wanted to be, they waited in the room the King told them to meet in. Though this was after being stuck waiting a day and a half for him to track down the other person he was looking for. The King entered as both of the two already there kneeled like they were suppose to. Once the King was seated he seemed to tap his fingers on the chair arm waiting for the reported someone to be escorted here.

Mizuki was head to the castle and to the very same room where the King seemed pleased with who was brought to him. "Good your here now, I have a task for you. Though you will need assistance." With this he looked towards the other two aside from his personal guard in the room. "This is the one commander?" The dwarf spoke saying yes, this was when Thal knew he was in trouble. It never meant a good thing if the King was asking for you. He never bothered to see who else the King had suckered into this.

"Very well... you, your promoted and its not optional." It was everything for him to bite his tongue to keep from protesting. He didn't want to be promoted! He didn't want whatever job was being offered. But this was when the king dismissed the room saying the two that were suppose to be working together could get the information they needed for the mission elsewhere. Though he reminded them both he did not accept failure. Pff failure meant they were dead anyway.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki sighed. Out of all the people in world he had to go with Thalion. It would seem that the gods truely did hate him. Even thou Mizuki wanted to protest he bit his tongue and nodded his head then bowed as they were dismissed. Already knowing what needed to happen he found no need in going and getting more information. It was simple really, get in look a guy without being seen or heard then getting out. That was why he was summoned. With the knowledge he had of herbs and his ability with magic the king thought it would be best to go in hidden by magic, kill with herbs then get out. Thalion was there for extra support.

Mizuki found it all to funny. All he wanted to do was get a herb then leave but now instead he was thrusted into a job he did not want and a rank he could live without as well. Though it did amuse him that in one day he out ranked Thalion. Yep it was true for Mizuki was now general of herbs and healing for the kings army and guard. This put him a level over Thalion. the thought brushed his mind that he could make he male do as he pleased but that thought stopped there as he heard his name being called out.

Turning Mizuki looked at Thalion as the male approached him. "Before you say anything...I didn't ask for this i was more told just as you were..." Mizuki said with a sigh "trust me..." He said before looking at Thalion with sad and hurt but also angry eyes "this is the last thing I wish to be doing..." He paused a moment "let alone the person I have no choice but to do it with" Mizuki said with a growl before he turned and continued walking down the hall.

((yay phone post didn't have time to post before work so now i do it at work))

[Rosekitten]

((x'D its ok ive been busy most of today with the baby hehe though i get tomorrow mostly to myself kano works almost all day))

This was hardly what he had in mind, every plan was to go back to where he was and settle back into the same routine he had for years now. But no now he was forced to go on this little side quest let alone with someone he had said he never wanted to see again. Those words came to bite him real quick now didn't they? He wanted nothing to do with this, if Mizuki was this great wizard they made him out to be or herb expert or whatever why the hell did he have to go along!?

"Tsk... I think i'd rather rot in the dungeons." He hardly wanted to do this, what was his purpose in tagging along? Sure he was hardly a poor fighter and was rather talented at repelling magic... But that hardly meant he had to go along, there were others he could name off that would work out better for this. Maybe the gods really did hate him, that or they found some sick humor in this. No what was he thinking he never gave a damn about them before and he still didn't.

After Mizuki started to walk off he shook his head a little before walking t catch up to him. "Well you can go take care of this all on your own if you want, I'll hardly care. Would hate to get in the way of my 'superior'" He reminded the other of the words he used mere days ago. He hated saying them actually but this was already going to be a long trip so he was going to at least get some jabs out there while he could. Though he'd pay for them later and he knew it.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki didnt stop in his stride even as Thalion caught up to him and continued to speak "Hm yes I could go and do it alone" He stated "But I am not taking care of the issues you cause by not going yourself" He spoke as he rounded a corner. He was going to keep silent over everything else until Thalion made the jab about him and what he had said before. Mizuki couldnt help the smile that crept onto his lips as he heard it.

Stopping in his foot falls he looked to Thalion with the same smile on his face "Yes superior and you better get used to that" Mizuki said "Because I am indeed your superior now that I am general of healing and herbs" He said with a cocky smile and judging from the look of Thalions face he knew he hit a cord "Oh what...you didnt know?" He asked with a tilt of his head "Seems once again I passed you with out even trying"

With that said Mizuki continued to walk away from the drow. He knew that it would cause Thalions temper to rise but he was not looking for a fight. No instead all he wanted to do was get a reaction out of Thalion...even if it was out of anger. "So lets go and get this over with so I can leave this place and never return" He spoke almost sadly.

[Rosekitten]

((sorry the post take so long kano is weird about me rp'ing when hes home anymore -.- and iw as suckered into minecraft pvp maps))

Like he cared about a rank, hell if he did. Though Mizuki was the type to rub in such a fact wasn't he. "Like I care, I'll let you know the day I begin to care about how many people are my superiors. Your hardly the first." He got his reaction alright, though Thal was managing to keep his cool.. for the moment. Though Mizuki was pushing his luck.

"Oh yes lets, the sooner I'm rid of you the better." One thing he did know.. like hell he was going to risk his neck if Mizuki needed it during this little mission. Hell he felt like they were sending him along as cannon fodder anyway. Why did he get dragged into this... Oh how he would die to have Mizuki need help during this, there would be a rude awakening than. He could take his rank and shove it than. It was a settling thought for the moment at least.

Ok who was he kidding. If Mizuki needed help he wasn't going to just let him die. No if anyone was going to kill him he'd be the one to do it and he knew damn well he couldn't. It had nothing to do with rank or power either. It wasn't something he'd be able to manage... his past still haunted him with how things use to be. He sighed slightly before he started walking not really rushing to catch up to the other. He hardly wanted to go on this trip... he'd be stuck with Mizuki for at the least a night... maybe a bit longer depending on how long it took for them to get the opening Mizuki needed.

Well Nyla would be happy at this. Knowing her she'd be saying something like they needed the time alone to sort things out. Even if it was forced time. Though Thal hardly saw anything being sorted. Not with Mizuki trying at every turn to piss him off it seemed. honestly what was he expecting? Even if Mizuki had stayed at the town he'd still be ticked. At this rate even if Thal said he was wrong in everything that he did or said back that Mizuki would still be unhappy with it.
