Mizuki had given up on anything happening as he hung his head down and forgot about the world around him. There was nothing he wanted to do more then to get from the chains but he had no idea on how could manage something like that. In the end he gave up on everything.

So it was no shock at all that when the shift changed happened he ignored everything. It was not until he head the sounds of bodies hitting the floor and the door unlocking that he even looked up. Though his one eye widened as he looked at the sight before him.

Surely he was seeing things though as the male spoke he knew that what he saw was right. "T-thal-ion?" He asked in a carcked voice "What...how..." Though he couldnt get the rest of his words out as he smiled a little. "I...didnt think...anyone..." Though he stopped it hurt way to much to talk and pushing himself was not something he needed to do. No what needed to happen was for him to get out of the chains he was in.

[Rosekitten]

"What is it that big of a shock? Did you think you were going to rot in here or something?" Nah he would have probably figured out the King had Mizuki and would have come here out of stupidity and his own accord. "As far as how and who else is involved that can wait till later don't you think?" Though this was all the while as he looked over the cuffs on Mizuki's wrists before rolling his eyes.

"Please... " He said before managing to undo them both. Though not long after supporting Mizuki so he didn't fall over. "At the least I thought your chains would be a challenge." It was true enough. Though things were going overly well he knew something was going to happen sooner or later. Either way he had to get Mizuki out of here and to where Needren said he wanted them to meet.

Though feeling how weak Mizuki was at the moment he hissed a little knowing this was going to more then suck. To get in here he had been beat up a bit so some of those marks were starting to really make themselves known with pressure on them. Mizuki would be of no use in a fight this he knew already though he had hoped that the other could at least walk a bit. He knew better then to expect that now from the cuffs they had on him.

"complain later about this cause I know your going to." He said before shifting Mizuki and carrying him. Though that was when he heard the noise he had been waiting for. "Ah yes.. there is the challenge." Finally someone noticed the first two guards and bells were ringing out now. "Here I almost thought this was going to be too easy heh."

None the less he did manage to get them both out of the prison area. So the guards would be slowed down by that for a bit thinking that they had whoever trapped down there. Though the new issue was getting to where Needren was wanting to meet up. "Had to pick all the way across the damned castle didn't he... "

[Pinkie]

The moment the male spoke about him hanging there rotting Mizuki grunted "For awhile...yeah" He said with a huff but nothing compaired to the hiss he let out the moment the cuffs were removed and his arms fell down. At this moment he was glad that Thalion was infront of him then holding him. Every muscle ached and everywhere hurt. It was a shock to him that he was not out cold though at this moment he wanted to see them escape more then anything.

As the male said dont complain as he was lifted Mizuki smiled a little. No he was not going to protest. He didnt have the energy to not to mention he didnt want to. The thought of forcing himself to walk after being hung there for a couple days was something he didnt want to try. No instead he stayed silent and all but hung loosley in Thalions arms as he was carried away.

Mizuki didnt think much about anything until the sound of the alarms went off. So it would seem they were on to him and that became all to clear as Thalion spoke saying something about a challenge. Mizuki didnt know what to think or do as the male made it through the halls and rooms leading to the advantage point that he needed.

[Rosekitten]

What was lucky was that there was never more then a few guards that seemed to catch the two of them at a time. Though he didn't waste the time putting Mizuki down as he said screw it and used a few spells that a novice spell caster probably shouldn't even know for fire magic. They used a lot of energy but he just had to make it a bit further. Also he wasn't sure Mizuki could take a hit at all so it was better then risking it.

After a few struggles and finally making it to where Needren was he was glad that the other male was there with the said help he was suppose to be looking for. Also glad that there seemed to be no guards anywhere near them at the present time.

After sitting Mizuki down he leaned against the wall panting. "You're.. heavier then you look .. just so you know." Though it was probably more of the spells he had been using then actually carrying Mizuki around. Though now it was up to Needren and the help he had to get them out of here. Unless more guards came then he would have to go bother with them. It was better to keep it so it looked like Needren wasn't involved in this. Better for them anyway.

[Pinkie]

Needren stood there and tapped his foot with his arms crossed. He was waiting for the two males to show though with all the sounds and everything he was not sure if the two of them had made it out of the cells. This however was when Thalion rounded the corner with Mizuki and Needren gave a sigh of relief. "God it took you long enough!" He said as Thalion put Mizuki on the ground.

Needren right away was at his side looking over Mizuki and all the cuts and marks the male had. He growled before standing and looking at the other male he had with him "Alright Luka...do your thing" He said with a nod and the male smiled. Walking over to the two men he sighed a little "Think of the place you wish to return to" He said with a nod of his head "The stronger thought will be the out come of the spell" He said lightly as he cast it.

After a moment or two and nothing happened Needren sighed "Is that really all you got...I thought it was supposed to get them out of here?" He asked with a tilt of his head and Luka sighed "It takes awhile to kick in you know" He said to him "They dont have a little while" He said.

Almost as the words left his mouth a sound at the end of the hallway got his attention. Great just what he needed though this was when Luka spoke up "All right get ready" He said. This was when Needred carefully picked Mizuki up and Luka held him for a moment "Punch me then grab him" Needren said as the spell began to work.

[Rosekitten]

He huffed a little at the comment from Needren he was expecting one. "Lets see you deal with the guards and carry someone at the same time oh lets add in the beating before that shall we?" Heck Needren was lucky that they didn't put stronger binds on him or Mizuki the extra time spent on them would have doomed them for sure.

Though it seemed that they weren't out of the woods just yet. Whatever was holding the spell back, his mind was too focused on the fact that they were going to sooner or later have to deal with a swarm of guards. Sure enough that fear was coming true hearing the noise at the end of the hall they were in.

"Either that spell starts working on we need a new plan with no time to make one." He hissed a little. Though the mage seemed to speak up to get ready. This was when Needren suggested a idea to Thlion that he was already planning if the guards showed up to keep Needren in the clear of all of this.

"This does not make us even." He warned before hauling off and punching Needren. Though considering everything that he had gone through today it was still a nice amount of force behind the blow. It was over kill as far as what needed to be done to make things believable. Either way it was a done deal and the spell seemed to kick in right when it was suppose to.

This was a good reminder to Thalion why he hated magic and how he never wanted to travel in such a way ever again. Though where they ended up was not the first place he would have expected. Actually it was the last place as he quickly noticed it was the cave from the few nights they were trapped out in the storm.

Why here of all the places?! Everything that happened and Mizuki brought them here? But why it was just a cave and it was really close to the Resistance camp and... what happened here.. it didn't mean anything it was just a freak spur of the moment thing and there was no reason for Mizuki to bring them here. Though being close to the Eastern camp was a good thing.. Mizuki needed a safe place to recover at.

[Pinkie]

Needren was expecting a punch yes but he was not expecting the force behind the punch. No so the fact that it was there made his head flip out and turn to the side with a snap. Just then the spell took place as the gaurds rounded the corner. As they reached they stopped and looked at the two males before them. Needren wiped the blood from a busted lip with a growl looking at them "Well....search the grounds!" He yelled at them before the men all but scrambled to get away.

Needren watched as they tripped over themselves to run off in search of the two missing captives. In the back of his mind Needren thought this was all a little to easy but that he kept to himself as he turned and walked himself down the hall.

After the spell had taken place Mizuki was all but out. He had little moments where he woke up and saw the world around him. One moment he was looking into the face of Needren as the male freaked out before him. After that the world went blank until he awoke looking at the walls of a cave around him. What on earth? Why out of all the places did they come here?

This was when the thought of the kiss came to his mind. The time where for once in his life he felt safe and secure. Not to mention the male that spent the whole time with him was currently cursing beside him. That was something he smiled a little at before he moved and went to stand. Pushing himself up with some effort he stood against the wall.

Bruised and beaten arms moved and rapped around his midsection with a hiss "Well..." He said in a gruff voice as he looked to Thalion with his good eye "...Standing...here all...day...not good" He said with a little laugh though regretted it as he moved and tried to walk. It was not before long that he regretted that as well as he went to move and walk out the cave but his feet and legs refused to work for more then a minute before he fell to the ground with a grunt before hissing. Yep he was not impressed at the moment.

[Rosekitten]

Needren should have expected worse really. He might have been lucky one punch was all he had time to do. Thalion still hardly considered them even. Oh no he was going to get him back for nearly killing him... how was another story but it would happen. Though at the moment he was too busy cursing that they couldn't be closer to somewhere with a population or something.

At the same time he was busy going over why here. Sure he knew the kiss and Mizuki had seemed.. calm during the time they spent here huddled together to keep from freezing to death. But why... it was two people thinking they were going to die right so why here...

This was when he heard some movement before he glanced over at Mizuki who had forced himself to stand. Speaking a little the other went to walk before he fell back down again. Too quickly for him to even think to catch him. He had only been standing here to regain some energy, having carried Mizuki across the castle grounds all the while fighting along the way.

Getting the other to stand again he laughed slightly before speaking. "No its not, but I don't think your walking anywhere either." He said before going back to carrying him again. "I think Neimi would kill me if we ended up going back and she found out I made you walk like this anyway." she was going to kill him for his own shape as well but he was use to scoldings from the girl by now.

It took a long while but sooner or later they did end up getting to the eastern camp. The first thing was getting Mizuki somewhere were the wounds could be treated and he could rest. Though Neimi threatened to tie Thalion down if he didn't at least rest for one day. She knew his complaint already that there was work he needed to catch up on or that things had to be done.

"Yeah well that can wait, the king's forces aren't going to find this place in a days span and working yourself till you pass out isn't going to help." She said huffing and crossing her arms. Mizuki had already been bandaged up and taken care of so the odds were he was out. "It'll probably take them a few days to even figure out your both no where near the castle.. so relax for once will you?" She sighed a little knowing that was the impossible request.

Either way things were slowly quieting down and Neimi finally said she was going to leave for now but she'd check later. "Don't you dare leave this spot either!" She warned Thalion knowing very well if he wanted to he would have already.

[Pinkie]

As soon as they reached the camp Mizuki was all but out. He only remembered the complaints of a female then being washed and handled before bandaged. Soon after everything the only thing he knew was darkness.

It had taken Mizuki three days before he even stirred. Giving a little groan he slowly opened his eyes. Blurred images met him first but as they began to clear he was shocked at what he saw before him "L-luna?" He asked a little at the dragonkin standing over him "Oh by the gods your awake!" She said before sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Where..." Though Mizuki stopped there. In the back of his mind he knew where they were but the fact that Luna sat beside him was something that threw him off a bit "At the rebellion camp" She said "I tracked you down after we got you out of there" She said with a little sigh "I swear..." She began "You have to be the stupidest person I have ever met" Luna hissed looking at him "You knew of the mole why the hell did you continue?" She asked him.

Mizuki sighed a little. He didnt have an answer to that. It was true that he did know of the mole and the higher risk of what he was doing. Though at the same time the thought of how hard Thalion had to work just to make things okay seemed to bother him. More then he thought it would. This was when he looked at Luna "Well...?" The female asked and Mizuki shrugged a little "I...really dont know" He said in a gruff voice.

Luna growled a little "Well...next time I reccamend that you know why before you decide to do anything" She said with a nod "I mean...you could of died Mizuki" Luna said with a sad tone causing Mizuki to sigh a little "I know..." He said lightly "I just..." Here he paused "Felt I had to..." He said after a moment. Though he didnt have a chance to say anything else before Neimi entered the room.

This was when Luna stood before looking at Mizuki "When your better this conversation is going to continue weather you like it or not" She said crossing her arms before leaving the room. Mizuki closed his eyes with a sigh. He knew it was going to happen to.

[Rosekitten]

It didn't take long for Luna to find Mizuki or this place. It was scary almost how quickly she showed up. Though she was dragonkin so he half expected it. At first he wanted to watch her just to make sure but he knew that he had better things to do then to watch her or Mizuki. If they were being tracked or the king had other dragonkin then there was a lot of work to do still.

Neimi walked in some time after Mizuki seemed to come to again as she tended to anything that needed changing out and talked with Luna a bit. Of course she would, she had never really seen dragonkin. Though she still insisted that Mizuki should rest a bit more before trying to go anywhere.

Though this was when two other voices were heard and from the sounds of it they were in a bit of disagreement. Thalion was just checking on Mizuki though him and Felix had been at this argument for a day solid outside of anyone knowing. "And what of Neimi? what if-" He cut his sentence short seeing Neimi standing right there as she looked between the two of them.

"What about me?" She asked as Thalion waved it off or tried to. "Nothing Felix is being a damned mother hen again." Felix of course said he wasn't and that it as just a plan Thalion had been working on. "It won't work what makes you-"

"It is a junction of cities that look for excuses to fight among themselves... it's really not that hard to convince them to pull together their troops and go fight something." Felix sighed before shaking his head. "and? You've not been back there in what over twenty years? besides that your the one always saying to avoid the place and you'd never go back."

"Well you got a better idea? At the moment I can do all the repairs I want and we'd still be out numbered at least ten to one. We need fighters and the lot we're training are not fighters nor will they be ready if something were to happen."

[Pinkie]

Mizuki listened to the banter between the two of them. A plan? What plan? Though going through his thoughts on what it could be his mind was blank. He couldnt think about anything at the moment but he also couldnt shake the feeling of something bad that was coming.

As Mizuki laid there the talk in the room began to get to him "Alright...enough" He said with a growl though apparently it was not high enough as the room continued to speak around him. Looking over to the side he managed it the right time to catch Thalion looking at him. "Make...them leave" He said lightly.

He knew that Thalion wouldnt be able to hear him. No it was a matter of if the male was actually looking at him he could tell what he was saying. Well at least that was what Mizuki was hoping for.

[Rosekitten]

He had half forgotten about Mizuki laying there and still probably needing to recover. His mind had been scattered the past few days. Ending up in that cave was the last place he would have thought of.. maybe not. Plus trying to get whatever that could be fixed together and preparing for whatever the worse might be. He had hardly been resting even if he might need a bit himself.

None the less he catch what Mizuki seemed to try to say or mouth as he sighed slightly. "Well you brought it up Felix have fun avoiding Neimi's questions." He said as Neimi folded her arms before Felix started to walk off the girl in toe already trying to get answers from him.

Luna probably saw what Mizuki said so she'd leave if she wanted to or not. Though Thalion wasn't sure why other then for it to be quite that he wanted everyone gone. Ok though he probably did hear enough of Felix talking to hear that plan he was working on. A crazy one at that but while he was in the mood to risk his life he might as well try it.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki watched as one by one the room emptied. First Felix was to go with Neimi fallowing after seeming to ask questions as they went. After a moment or two Luna left as well saying she had something to do. This left the two of them in the room alone and it didnt take Mizuki long to gather what he wanted to say.

"Thalion...I-" But he stopped for a moment before he continued to speak again "Thank you..." He said after a moment. Mizuki didnt know really what to say or do besides thanking the male still in the room. Mizuki knew he would of died there in that cell or made a mockery of infront of the entire kingdom. But no...Thalion came to his rescue and he owed the male more then he could ever give.

This was when Mizuki sighed a little before closing his eyes "I...thought it was the end" He said lightly with a little laugh at the end of it "Then...the last person...I expected to see...was there infront of me" He said before opening his eyes and looking to Thalion "Why...did you risk your life...for me?" Mizuki asked him. It had been a question that rested on his mind and one that he needed an answer to.

[Rosekitten]

Once everyone left the two of them alone was when Mizuki spoke finally. Thanking him after he tried to say something. For what? For being a idiot and nearly getting himself killed in the process of it. That plan could have failed very easily. Heck he was about to go off and risk his life again to try and save this place from being slaughtered.

Though that was when the next question came up. Of why. Why did he? He didn't have to Luna and Needren half expected him not to probably. He didn't have a answer not a logical one anyway. "I dunno it was part my fault you were there. Even if you did ignore apparently my and Luna's warnings to stop." He smirked a little at the thought.

"I dunno maybe I wanted to see if it could be done." He sighed a little not really sure why he did it, he questioned it while he was there even. "After Luna and Needren came that one day I couldn't really just say no.. crazy as it sounds I have no real answer to why I did it." He kept thinking about it and there was nothing better he could tell him other then he didn't want Mizuki to die and he felt that it was his fault for him being there as he had been trying to help the people here out.

"Though seeing as we are asking questions... why that cave then? Out of all the places you could have brought us here or somewhere else you knew." He needed to know why the cave, all of the things going on and he was thinking of the cave... it had been bothering him and he wasn't sure why even.

[Pinkie]

Why the cave...? Mizuki didnt even know himself. Well he did know but the answer that Thalion was looking for was not there. No the answer that he had was something that the male was not expecting and Mizuki knew that but if Thalion wanted an answer he was going to get one. Sighing a little Mizuki closed his eyes "You know...its funny...how the mind...works" He said lightly.

"Just when you think...you know whats right....it changes on you...without a single warning" Mizuki said lightly. "I always fallowed orders..." He said "Yet..." This was when Mizuki paused "You...were the one order...I couldnt fallow" He said lightly.

Mizuki know that it was true. He had been given order after order to take the males life yet here he stood in the room with Mizuki breathing and alive for what it was worth. Mizuki didnt know why he couldnt do what was ordered of him. Well he did but he was having a hard time accepting it himself.

[Rosekitten]

That wasn't the answer he was expecting, maybe something more simple was what he was expecting he wasn't sure what he was expecting really. Maybe a way to answer Mizuki's questing in the process of getting his own answered who knew? But when Mizuki spoke he wasn't sure what to think of it really.

He should be thankful or something that Mizuki did disregard the orders. Otherwise he wouldn't be here right now that was certain. But why... Mizuki had no reason to spare him or even to think twice about any of their time together it wasn't like any of it was important. Though his mind betrayed him on that thought with the few nights they spent in that cave. He was never going to live that down was he?

Maybe he didn't want to at the same time... not that he was going to admit that. Not yet anyway. "Funny huh... fair enough. Not like my answer was any better." Though it had him thinking about why Mizuki would bother to spare him, maybe the other didn't know or maybe he did. Great he was going to keep this up and get a headache again.

"Either way. We're both alive for what its worth and you need to get some more rest. Chatting is not getting you that." It was a good way to get out of the conversation and to avoid Mizuki questioning his plan. He had already made up his mind on it. In a few days he was going to gather what he needed to and head to the Drow capital. From there he just had to stir things up enough to get the different groups to be fed up with a human king who thought he could out do them. Easily enough done... so long as he didn't run across anyone who knew who he was.
