How dare he! After everything that has happened he was not supposed to agree with his words. No he was supposed to fight and argue. Growling Mizuki watched as Thalion began to walk past him. Yeah if Thal thought he was getting away this easy he was wrong. Mizuki stood there before growling.

Walking over with fast and brisk steps he grabbed the male and turned him around and before Thalion had something to say he pushed him into the wall with a growl "So its true...after all of these years and the words you said" Mizuki said with a growl before casting a fast spell and with added force he punched the wall beside Thalions face.

"How did I know that you could never love me" He hissed in a dark face before he ripped his hand out of the whole he made beside the males head. Turning he ignored the sound of cracking rock. He was a fool to think Thalion could love him. Such a fool. Mizuki shook his head with a little laugh "Even though the Thalion I thought I knew...wouldnt say something without it having meaning..." He said in a growl.

[Rosekitten]

He was half expecting Mizuki to stop him but at the same time not. Or at least not with the force that he did as he was forced against the closest wall. A few of his senses were knocked back into him from just hitting the wall though he didn't have much time to think on it as he debated his actions seeing the spell cast.

His instinct told him to block or cancel the spell at the least but he didn't move. If Mizuki had actually hit him Thal knew he deserved it in a way. Though when the blow never landed his ears went back a little listening to Mizuki. Maybe Luna was right, going after him was a mistake. Normally he didn't say things he didn't mean but for the moment he was torn between having control of his thoughts and the other being that he just wanted to keep what anger he had at the moment.

Though the cracking of rocks caught his attention more than anything. It was not a sound he enjoyed hearing for whatever reason. But Mizuki seemed to be ignoring it as some of the pops got louder and a few mid sized rocks fell from the low ceiling. Sure there was noise behind him but he was more worried about the over head part of it.

Well now he had no choice even if Mizuki was pissed at him he couldn't stand there and let what he saw about to happen. Half tackling Mizuki he barely got them both from where a rather large boulder landed. Though it was about that time the few remaining rocks from where Mizuki had punched the wall fell.

The opening seemed to be carved out oddly enough, smooth looking and a odd glow seemed to be deep within it. Great was Thal's first thought what hell did they just release now, with their luck it would be just that. Though honestly they were both unscathed for the most part so he hardly cared. Mizuki could punch him or whatever at this rate.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki gasped as he felt strong around around his waist and the force driving them both to the ground. "What on earth is-" Though he stopped the moment he saw the larger boulder fall where he was just standing. "Well...if you didnt love me...why save me?" He asked not moving from where he was on the ground with Thalion still on top of him holding him down.

Mizuki didnt give Thalion a moment to comment back. No instead he removed the male from over him before standing "I dont know what your playing at but-" That was where his words died as he looked ahead of them. There where the wall used to be was now a large whole but that was not what Mizuki was gaping at.

No it was the fact that the wall was gone and it showed a perfectly carved out tunnel beyond it leading and winding but Mizuki could see the faintest of glows at the end. Please do not tell me we unleashed another monster Mizuki thought as he looked down to Thalion. "Im still mad at you" He said with a glare "But I know better then to go in there alone" He said before walking over towards cave tunnel.

[Rosekitten]

Because I can't have a idiot dying on my conscious, why did he think? Thal would have given him the smart ass remark as a answer but he didn't get a chance to as Mizuki forced him off and right away was accusing him. He wasn't getting at anything, though there was no telling Mizuki that at the present time.

Though Mizuki's statement seemed to die as he looked towards the wall that use to be there. Glancing towards it Thal was already rather sure of what the other was thinking. He already didn't like it. Though he also figured where Mizuki was still very much so pissed he was just going to blindly walk into the new opening.

Though oddly enough Mizuki seemed to not do that, stating he was still mad but he knew better than to go in alone. Thal shook his head a little before getting up and following the other. Honestly he didn't like the vibe he got from this place at all, whatever was in here felt old. It was hard to describe the exact feeling but whatever was in here had been so for who knows how long. Not to mention someone had gone through some lengths to hide this entrance.

His ears went back a little not expecting any answers from Mizuki but he figured he'd try talking anyway. "The saying curiosity killed the cat mean anything to you?" He was all for exploring but this was different, this had trouble plastered on it let alone who knew what was even in here. The glow could be a creature or anything. Maybe now would be a bad time to mention he can't use any shielding abilities while his magic wasn't bounded. Heres hoping they didn't encounter anymore cave ins.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki looked to Thalion "Yes thats true" He said pausing his foot steps. Thinking for a moment he looked to Thalion "You cant honestly tell me that you dont want to know whats down there" He said to him and when Thalion started to protest Mizuki continued "Think about it Thalion" He began "If it was a beast we would have seen it from the noise of that wall falling" He said "The noise would have alerted it" He said with a nod.

Mizuki stood there thinking "And judging from that glow its a torch thats making that glow but a torch to be lit in a tunnel thats been hidden for so long..." Mizuki shook his head "It dose not seem right" He said "Something is fishy down there and I am going to find out what it is" He said with a nod of his head.

This was when Mizuki turned and began walking once more down the dark tunnel but he stopped for a moment. Turning he looked to Thalion "And if you love me...you will do this with me" He said with a smile before turning and starting his walking once more. Something was pulling at Mizuki and he needed to see what was there.

[Rosekitten]

"No I honestly can say I am not. I learned my lesson years ago that exploring caverns is generally a bad idea." Trouble was something he had his fair share of, ok so a few of the beatings he probably did bring upon himself but still. "Yeah.. have you ever heard of silent hunters?." He complained a little. "There are a number of things that I can name off that could be down here and none of them I want to meet personally." It was more of the uneasy feeling that was making him complain.

"Yes yes.. magical torch..got it. Now that mystery is solved can we leave before something bad happens?" He wasn't being timid, but there was something about this place he couldn't put his finger on that just had him very unsettled. Curiosity was not over powering that feeling in the least.

Though as Mizuki kept walking and paused to speak Thal's ears went back a little. That wasn't fair. "Thought we declared that I didn't?" Of course he knew that was a lie, but at the time Mizuki seemed sure of it. None the less he kept following the other, if anything to save his ass once more if there was something down this tunnel. Though at the present time he was too busy going over tunnels and passageways that could lead to here to explain why there was light at all. Though he didn't remember anything having that sort of glow like the one they were headed to.

There were beasts known to lure their pray in with lights or smells. Though he wasn't sure if there were any in caves. he never recalled hearing about any but that hardly meant anything. Ok maybe he was over worrying for nothing now.

[Pinkie]

At Thalions comment Mizuki shrugged "So if you dont then stay behind" Hesaid with a shrug as he continued to walk. Mizuki wanted to, no he needed to know what was down there even if that meant that he had to do it alone. Rounding the corner Mizuki stopped. He was right that the glow was from torches but it was magic fire that kept them burning. This though was not the thing that made Mizuki stop.

There was a door carved into the stone. Trees dying over a battle field of dead men, but there before the door was a hunched figure in a black cloak. Holding a staff and leaning on it nothing was seen but a pale hand and a long white beard. Waiting for Thalion Mizuki looked to him "I am seeing that right" He said "Right?" He asked looking back towards the male.

[Rosekitten]

Of course he was going to follow Mizuki. He'd never live with himself if he left and something did happen no matter what the other thought was or was not down here. Besides he already knew too well the ability Mizuki seemed to have to draw trouble to himself without meaning to.

Mizuki seemed to stop and question what he was looking at before asking Thal. "Depends on what your seeing... though mystery solved of whats in here can we go now?" Ok he had to admit he was curious now as to why the hell something like this was down here, let alone what it was... the strange figure wasn't helping matters any.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki shook his head "No...I got to see what is behind that door" Walking forward he was stopped by the old man. "Blood so thick must first come fourth and show its true nature if you wish to enter" The male said in a voice that sounded with age. Mizuki hummed "Well...what must I do?" He asked though something told him he was going to regret this.

This was the moment that the male looked up for the first time. With his mouth opened it looked like he was going to speak but the words died on his lips as he looked at the two before him 'Never in all my long years did I expect to see you here" He said slowly gazing at them with pale blue eyes. This made Mizuki look at him "You know us?" He asked lightly.

The male shook his head "No...not you" He said lightly "But past lives of you yes" He spoke with a smile "At least...im sure its you" He said "Never have I seen such a likeness" The male said with a smile "So...to pass you must show your blood line" He said with a nod of his head.

Mizuki stopped "What is on the other side?" He asked looking to Thalion before looking back towards the male. This caused a chuckle to come from old lips "Something to vanish the ever approaching darkness" He said with a suddenly stern face. This right there made Mizuki look right at him "What...did you say?" He asked and the male continued "Show me your worth and aid is what I give in return"

[Rosekitten]

Thal sighed a little knowing that Mizuki was going to say exactly that. He always was the reason he got dragged into more trouble than he probably normally would have gotten into. Had to be a mage thing. Sure he was curious about all of this but the markings on the door gave him a bad feeling and he couldn't shake it in the least.

Though Thal's attention was pulled from the text on the door as the old man spoke. Mizuki questioned if he knew them and the answer was not what Thal wanted to hear. "So... why are we trying to pass through a door talking about the end of the world?" He said making a slight gesture towards one of the sections with writing on it. He couldn't make it all out but in some form or another it was talking about doomsday.

Though it seemed Mizuki was dead set on seeing what was behind the doors. There was probably no wavering him at this point. "In case you forgot we're on the edge of a battlefield.. and your standing here trying to follow riddles." This spelled bad idea a few times over. What was the old man blabbering about anyway.. blood line and worth. what the hell was that suppose to mean.

Though it was about that time something settled in his mind. Oh great someone else talking of darkness. He was about sick of everyone putting so much stock in some old saying that probably wasn't true.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki looked to Thalion as he spoke about the end of the world. Looking around the door Mizuki saw the old writing that was there. It was an old kind of elvish. One that has been lost to many an elf but some families still kept it alive by teaching younger generations its words. Thalion seemed to be one of the lucky ones.

Shaking his head Mizuki sighed "What harm can it do?" He asked with a shrug as he was about to advance when Thalion spoke again. "Yes we are on the edge of a battle field and this man is offering help and still you refuse to take it." He said with a little laugh "You can but I am not" With that Mizuki took a step up to the male before him.

"What is it that I have to do?" He asked with a tilt of his head though the response he got was not one he wanted "No its not you its the both of you" The older male said looking up finally from his cloak. Pale skin and long ears hung with age as the male spoke "To travel as two you must work as one" He said with a nod of his head.

Looking to Mizuki he smiled "You must show your magical ability" The male said before turning to Thalion "And you must proove the days of old are not dead" The male said with a nod of his head and Mizuki frowned "Magical ability...that could be anything at all...." He said with a huff crossing his arms to think "What exactly do you wish to see?" He asked looking at the older male getting a little laugh "I can not tell you because then its not a test" He said and Mizuki sighed.

[Rosekitten]

Thal would to call knowing how to read this stuff lucky by a long shot. It was half of the reason he had run from home in the first place and now it was coming back to haunt him. If he ever saw his old man again he'd clock him one for the simple sake of him being right in saying that it would be useful to him in the future. He hated with he was right... any other person in the world could say the same thing and he'd shrug them off being right. But that man was not allowed to be right about anything.

When Mizuki spoke about what harm could it do Thal's ears went back a little. "Lots... but that's not going to change your mind." He said sighing a little knowing that Mizuki had his mind already set on this. Nope this was his doomed fate to find out whatever that had been locked down here for lord knows how long. "Help I welcome... the payment required for said help is whats worrying me." He wouldn't refuse help but what even told Mizuki this old man was helping them. He had heard enough stories of wizards or other beings luring idiots into traps or to get mortals to do their dirty work that they themselves cannot. Maybe Mizuki missed that history lesson.

His concerns on the matter hardly lessened when the man spoke that it was both of them. Great... was there something in the water here that made everyone think that there was for some reason something special about the two of them? Hell he was a run away from home and last he knew Mizuki had no idea of his parents. Hardly did that seem 'hero' material. Also for him to say earlier they looked like ones he knew or past lives. That must have been some great time ago indeed, last he recalled there was nothing in history about a wood elf and a drow.. like anywhere.

'prove the days of old are not dead'? What was that suppose to mean? Ok sure he could read the text, if he stood there a few moments he could probably jog his memory enough to read the whole phrase, let alone in the actual language it was written in. But there was no way he was about to just willingly do that. Though something told him Mizuki was going to get him to do just that wasn't he... "Test.. right. Though the ways of old are hardly dead. If they were maybe my kind might not hate the opposite gender nearly as much." He had a bit of a smirk at the thought, right THAT would never change. Out of the elven kind the Drow were pretty stuck in their ways that was certain. He found out just how much so when he ran away.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki sighed some but then couldnt help the laugh that left his lips as Thalion spoke. Yes it was true that females ruled over males in drow lives. So the comment made was funny to him. Mizuki thought for a moment before he looked to Thalion "You need to read that text" He said to him "Out loud if you would....I think I know how to get through this door" He said with a nod of his head.

"I have the perfect spell in mind" He said "I...just need you to read that text" He said with a smile. Mizuki knew that this was a long shot because Thalion didnt even want to be this far in the first place. Now Mizuki was trying to get him to read some ancient text predicting the end of the world. Or so Thalion says.

Mizuki stood there and looked at Thalion. He had a hard look on his face like he was tied between something. "Please...help me do this" He said. Mizuki knew that Thalion was a sucker for words though he had this feeling that he would not give in this easy. At that thought Mizuki grew a little angry. This was when the thought of placing a spell on the male came to mind.

[Rosekitten]

The glare he got at being told he needed to read the text probably told Mizuki plenty. He knew that was what the old man was expecting but it was the last thing he wanted to do to say the least. Read aloud he says... Though honestly he was still going over some of the words to even read what they were let alone aloud.

Normally Thal would give in to Mizuki but he just had a bad feeling about this door. This was a bit unfair in truth. Mizuki was already pissed so if he declined than it would make matters worse. But in all honestly he really didn't want to open the door or have any chance of doing so. Though maybe he could tell sort of a fib but not really. Well it was true he was still reading a few of the words trying to figure them out in his head... that didn't mean he had to tell Mizuki that he could read most of them.

"And if I told you i cant read it? I can't even make out half of them let alone the whole phrase." Though Mizuki seemed to have something else in his mind seeing the look on his face. Why did something tell him that Mizuki was going to get what he wanted in some way or another. Though it wasn't like he really lied, he couldn't make out a few of them just off the top of his head. It had been quite a few years when he last had to read this stuff.

"I mean it's been over 150 years when I last had to use this stuff.." Ok so given a few minutes he could probably figure out the few words he wasn't sure of, or fill in the blanks himself. It was more getting the correct word in this tongue. Though Mizuki looked unconvinced of this. "what you want me to read it and get it wrong.. done that before and normally there is a cost to such mistakes."

[Pinkie]

Mizuki looked at him with an eyebrow raised as Thalion said what if he couldnt read it "I would say your lying" He said with a nod of his head. Though now Thalion was silent for a moment before he spoke again "But that should make you want to open the door more should it not?" He asked with a tilt of his head. This was when Thalion spoke again. Yes it was true that there was usually had a price but Mizuki did not have a bad feeling and that was what he was sticking with.

Mizuki sighed "You wont do it will you?" he asked as he looked to Thalion and when the male said no again Mizuki decided enough was enough. Walking over to Thalion he stood in front of the male before he moved in his spell already almost cast. Leaning in he kissed the male on the lips lightly as his hand touched his chest placing the spell.

Mizuki couldnt believe what he just did as he stood back but he knew there was limited time. As Thalion struggled for a moment but began to read the text Mizuki did his next spell. Mizuki smiled as he made a small tree that went through all the seasons but with a twist in front of them. It started in spring and the buds on the tree were water. Next was summer turning the leaves green with life. Then fall took over turning the tree ablaze with fire as oranges and reds took over the tree. Finally winter and wind was the element until shadow took over killing the tree with light to finish it off with reincarnation.

It was a sight to see but it was a long spell. Just as he finished with his spell and the light faded Thalion completed the text. Mizuki knew that the male was going to be pissed the moment he came to. When being controlled the mind blacks out and the host remembers nothing but a headache. Mizuki knew that Thalion was not stupid though...the moment he would blink back to reality he would know.

[Rosekitten]

Of course he didn't want to read it, he never did tell Mizuki at all about his youth. He had a number of good reasons to want to keep this door shut let alone to avoid even breathing any of the words. Yet Mizuki was also dead set on opening these doors and very rarely did Thal recall the other giving up on something that he wanted.

Mizuki was right though Thal was not stupid in the least, as soon as the other stepped close enough and kissed him he could guess what happened. Though he had no real proof of it. But he did know Mizuki didn't forgive him from earlier so that kiss was foul play. Not that he could do anything to stop it. If the seal was till active Mizuki might have found doing this trick a bit harder. But with it broken he couldn't have any of the defenses he normally kept.

After a moment when everything was said and done he winced a little before placing a hand on his head. Yep he knew what had happened. "You.. I can't believe you." H said before recovering after a moment. His ears went back as he glared at Mizuki. "Out of all the things you could do.." Seeing as his training was to counter magic he had a number of spells used on him before to teach them what to expect or what to pick up on. Though Thal was more than pissed at Mizuki at this moment. Probably if he wasn't in shock that this really just happened he would have already been trying to beat the living sense out of the other.
