Beltran led Thalion from the boat and through the crowds stopping once in a while as he got a comment about Thalion. He gave some story about how hes a fire cracker and fed the nobles around him the lines of the guards being dead or wounded. Though as he tugged a little on the chains he smiled and said he was trained for the most part but if he was them he wouldnt piss him off. With that and a nod of his head the prince left the dock.

As he did a carriage sat waiting. Reaching it the door was opened and he climbed in first and as Thalion did behind him the door was closed. Sighing a little he cracked his neck. "We are on the way to...present you to my father" He said lightly before he looked to Thalion. This was when his face turned from the normal happy self to a stern face "Thalion I can not stress this enough when I say that you can not...and I mean no matter what" He said "You can not act as if you know Mizuki" He said to him.

"I know its hard and alot of me to ask but it needs to happen" He said lightly to him. "The young male with him...awww what was his name" He said as he thought though this was when Thalion spoke and he smiled nodding his head "Yes thats right Nyrtia!" He said "The young male is under care of my sister" He said "He has known about our plan for a long time now...so he acts the part the good slave" He said with a nod "It saved him many beatings" Beltran said.

"After we meet with my father we will head to my room where you will be kept" Beltran said before turning his head and looking out the window "From there where I go you go" He said lightly "No if ands or buts" He said turning his head and looking to Thalion "Things may change but for now I ask you to do this" He said "We will get Mizuki and Nytria out...you have my word" He said with a nod of his head.

Though he didnt get a chance to say anything else as they pulled up to a large castle. Grass and trees circled the large stone building though each stone was covered in vines and plant life. Large stained glass windows filled most of the windows from the front view. A large green house was attached to the one side of the large building and beyond that a natural water fall and river was in the backyard.

"Alright...its show time" Beltran said with a sigh as the carriage began to slow down. Pulling around the large fountain out front they reached the large doors where guards and some others seemed to wait. As the door opened Beltran made a point to move around Thalion so he could leave first. Then with a tug of the leash Thalion fallowed him. Looking over to the steps he smiled at the people he saw. "Mother!" He said with a smile as he moved towards a female standing there in silk and almost see through robes.

"Darling welcome back..." She said in a soft voice as she smiled lightly. "I see your trip was a success" She said in the same softness as he looked to Thalion. "Hello there" She said walking to the male "I am Neena and lady of this house" She said reaching her hand out to Thalion. Beltran watched though he growled a little as Thalion just stood there. Tugging on the leash he growled "You will show proper respect" He said.

Lightly grabbing his mothers hand in his he moved it so the royal ring was exposed. Reaching his other hand up he grabbed a fist full of the males red locked before he forced him to bow "Kiss the ring" He said in a hiss as he glared and he was delighted as he got a growl before those dark lips kissed the gold band. Making Thalion stand up again he roughly shoved the head away before turning to his mother "Forgive me...he still is in training" He said lightly.

"Oh no no..." She said with a smile "It tiss to be expected" Neena said with a smile and a nod "Well...you lord is waiting for you" She said as she turned and began heading up the stairs "Ever since word reached our ears of your ship in the harbor" Neena said as she entered the large building "He is in throne room over looking the knew shipment" She said before she bowed her head a little and took her leave. She had other things to worry about.

Beltran from there turned down the hall and headed for the double doors at the end. "Alright..." He said softly "If he is over looking the new slaves...this means Mizuki is there with him" He said low for Thalion to hear. "Keep your cool." He said with a growl as they reached the double doors. This was the moment they waited for. The trip and all the time all became worth it at this moment as those double doors opened and he was announced.

[Rosekitten]

Yep things could get worse... this made him a little ill at the fact that these people took such pride in having some pet to display. The sad part was that the guard story could have been true.. if he so put his mind to it. But he'd behave for the moment. The ones here were hardly what he cared about and causing more trouble then they needed at the time wouldn't help things any.

He was silent when they were finally alone again and the other mentioned he could not act like he knew Mizuki. "I know that... what do you think I was doing on the two weeks stuck on that damned boat besides bothering the guards..." He had gone over it a hundred times. He knew he could pull it off and he didn't honestly want to even see Mizuki. No he would rather not actually. The only thing that would hold his temper towards the bastard that caused all of this was knowing that he was going to hear the male beg for his damned life. Not that it would do him any good.

Though there was good news in all of this. It seemed that his sister was the one looking after Nytria. Well that at least took some of his worries off. He had worried what state the younger male would be in after all of this. Still ... he still blamed himself that he didn't go to them that night. This could have probably been avoided if he had gone.

Though Beltran spoke again saying that no matter what they were getting them both out of here and gave his word. There was little he could say to any of it. He knew that where Beltran went he had to go and let alone act like he was at his beck and call and would obey anything asked of him. No matter what though he had to hold out till everything was over with. They had to get close enough... This went against everything that was normal for him, but he'd be damned if he was failing them a second time.

Oh this was to be fun he could see it. Luckily their story was still in training. If this bastard had a lady why the hell have a damned sex slave in the first place! Not that his kind was much different, well they use to be. It was something he was correcting to say the least. Slow process but it was working. But of course he resisted following such a order. He'd rather tell this damned wench off then to obey that request. Though he held his tongue and temper .. mostly.

Though after a bit of a show he did follow through with the forced order. He didn't know what sickened him worse. The fact she was so none caring about all of this or that such things like this were common place here. Though his mind was elsewhere as well. He knew as she spoke that the lord was waiting what that meant. Odds were he would see Mizuki and it was going to hurt more then anything to see what ever was left of the other. He wouldn't react to it though.. not then anyway. He wasn't going to get much sleep tonight either he could see that with his thoughts being too fired up to care about sleep.

He nodded lightly to show he heard what was said. Though he didn't like it. He thought maybe he could get lucky. Though if he was lucky none of the captives were from areas that would know who he was. That would hinder their plans a little if that bit of information got out that both kings were here.

None the less he followed Beltran and prepared for the worse. He had seen Mizuki's defeated look before but he knew it was different this time. Nothing would make up for whatever he had been put through while he was here but damn if he wouldn't make the one hold him captive pay for all of this. If it came to it he would make the lot of them pay for this... but for now that thought had to stay in his mind to hold his temper and to keep him from speaking out of line. In order for ti to happen he had to follow through this plan.

[Pinkie]

As the doors opened Beltran stepped in and he only had to give a little tug on the leash for Thalion to fallow. He knew what this was going to do to the male. It was going to hurt and he could tell already from the look on Thalions face that he was not looking forward to it. "Ahhh my boy!" Beltran heard and it took everything in his power not to flinch at the males voice. Looking over to the throne he sighed a little.

A slightly elder man sat in that chair. Jewels and gold covered his body as well as robes and armor as he sat there in the chair. Before the male was a line of different breads of people. Elven, human and fae stood before the male. Beltran moved forward though at the moment he didnt see Mizuki with his father. "Father" He said with a nod of his head and he reached the male. "I see your trip was a success and you found one you like" He said looking Thalion over.

Beltran nodded his head "Yes...it took some time to get him" He said "He has a spirit and a half" He said with a little laugh. "Hows the training...in need of the spell?" The male asked as he tilted his head. Though at that Beltran shook his "No...hes a fighter and I dont mind that...means all the more when he breaks no?" He asked and the king smiled at that "Oh right you are my boy!" He said with a nod.

Standing up he looked down at the two though his eyes fell on Thalion "I am lord Beltainion" He said to the male "Ruler of these great lands and now...your king" He said moving forward and presenting the royal ring to Thalion. Beltran almost gulped here but he was greatfull that it took a mere moment before Thalion moved and kissed that ring. He was greatfull that not even a growl came from the male as he did so. "Aww delightfull..." He said though his words were cut off as those double doors again opened.

"Aww there is my lady" The king said with a smile and Beltran knew what that meant. Staying as he was he heard the soft footfalls reach them as the person that was once Mizuki came back into the room and stood beside his father. White and light lavender silk robes fell loosly over a pale body. Falling off of pale shoulders they ended just above two medium sized breasts. Long white hair fell down his back to brush the backs of his knees.

Long pointed ears pointed out through the long white strands of hair to dipp down and stay there. Dull lifeless eyes peered out from under half closed lids. Soft hands folded in to each other as they rested before him. "Mizuki dearest this is a near addition to the house hold" He said motioning towards Thalion. "I never did get his name" He said looking to Beltran. "Oh my..." He said "How rude this is Rhyldrin" He said with a smile coming up with a name on the spot.

The king smiled at this "Rhyldrin" He said "This is Mizuki...my personal slave" He said with a smile as he motioned to the female. This was when Mizuki simply nodded his head a little. Never once did he look up or change his view from the ground. He learned that wondering eyes could lead to bad things. The beatings he had gotten proved that to him. So he did what any good slave did. You kept your eyes low and down unless told otherwise.

"Well enough of this" The king said "Guards take them all to the cells for the night I think its time that my son and I have a dinner" He said placing a hand on Beltrans shoulder "Nothing would please me more" He said lightly and the male smiled "Good good" He said as he began to head for the double doors. Mizuki not missing a foot was there already, opening the doors for the king and fallowing slightly behind him after the king passed.

[Rosekitten]

Each word the king of the fae spoke made Thalion want to cringe. Let alone that he declared himself ever so boldly as his king. Oh you bastard was his thoughts. Though for now he knew that behaving was in their best interests. So he did as he was suppose to do with the lord before him. There was nothing he could do at the moment. Too many guards would ensure they failed.

So for now he merely listened, there was nothing he could do and he hated it. He barely glanced at Mizuki. It wasn't the new form the other had it was the eyes. He couldn't stand to see it. He wanted to do nothing more then just grab the other and convince himself this would all be ok. He wasn't sure though, spell or not.. some spells were easier to break then others.

Fro now he followed whenever Beltran tugged on the leash he still had. This was going to take quite a bit out of him to have to put up with this. He knew he had to and he needed to get any out bursts he had out of the way while they could pass him off as still being in need of training. Though after that he would have to keep his temper in check... to make sure they pulled their plans off.

[Pinkie]

Beltran fallowed his father to the hall where slaves already had the table set and waiting for two. After a little the two were sat at the table and Beltran gave a sigh "So the trip was shorter then expected" The king said as he sat there "Yes...though I met this one first go" He said "The first thing to meet in the west" Beltran said tugging Thalion closer before ordering the male to kneel.

This was when Beltran placed a hand on the males head and wove his fingers through the red locks there lightly. "I knew as I saw him he was going to be mine" He said with a little growl as he grabbed that hair and pulled Thalions head back "Isent that right..." He said in an almost purring voice. Beltran was playing the part. Everything he had seen others including his father do he did now. He needed to be believed and that meant doing what was needed.

After that he let the head go and watched it fall back into place. His hand once again fell there on the knelt males head. "Fair enough...I see in the short time you have managed to tame some of that fire I see in the males eyes" He said looking to Thalion. "Yes Rhyldrin was a bit slow at first but he is getting better with time" He said lightly. Though this was when his words stopped as the food was brought in and placed before them.

"Well now...shall we" He said to the king "No sence sitting here with hungry stomachs" Beltran said though the thing that happened next he was not prepaired for. The king nodded and agreed though the next that came was a shock to even Beltran. This was when Mizuki came and sat on the kings lap. Crossing pale legs he began to cut up the food before taking bites and feeding them to the male. All the while the king smiled and placed his hand on a pale now exposed thigh as he ate.

[Rosekitten]

Yes he was expecting a bit of rough treatment. Part of the plan they went over. Though so was the fact that Thalion was to remain defiant for a little while after they were here. They didn't plan such things it was more whenever Thalion saw it was fit. Though right now he was taking the punched as they came. Though to admit it that voice Beltran had made his skin crawl. The way he spoke and everything.

Though he almost smirked at the words that came from his father's mouth. Tame.. a few had tried this and so far only one person even came close to taming him. Though that fire the other saw had nothing to do with his spirit or not. No that was as close to pure rage that he could get without slipping up. It would remain there until he had his chance at the male.

Though the next action seemed to shock Beltran and it was enough to cause Thalion to say fuck it. He could tell himself all day that he needed to sit here and behave and to let things run out as planned but he was still told he was in training and damn it he was going to prove just how tame he was at the moment. There were guards fairly close and he would get at least one of their attention when he moved.

That was fine by him. cuffed or not he had enough room to take out a guard or two and get a weapon to better his odds. Might as well live up to the stories Beltran had been telling that he took out so many of the guard. As soon as he started to move Beltran probably knew what was coming. To hell if he didn't finish his attack he was going to try at the least and take out a number of these fools getting in his way.

To think he was doing all of these kills while being bound. They were lucky it restricted his skills quite a bit and they prevented the use of magic. Never the less a guard stepped forward as Thalion stood and that was the first mistake of the guard. Getting closer to someone who is cornered is like walking up to a cornered animal. Though this animal was here to protect his family and was not so willing to watch them be toyed with.

Not that the king had any idea what had triggered this little display as the first guard died after being disarmed in a matter of seconds and his neck being snapped. Really he didn't even need a blade but it was useful for the next guard that came forth as he fell over with the point of the sword sticking through his chest.

He would have advanced and taken the king out as well but Mizuki had stood and was all but defending the king as he so boldly stood there. The split second of hesitation allowed the remaining guards to finally get a few spells off at a slight distance before forcing him down.

Ok he knew that was coming but still... He was going to remind these damned people just how tame he really was. This would be the last time he would lash out against the king till their plan was through fully but he needed to do something just anything to get the sudden wave of anger out. He was pissed, more so. If he had been let go a second or two long and Mizuki wasn't standing in the way their plan would have been accomplished without the run around.

[Pinkie]

Beltran couldnt stop the male as he stood and attacked. He knew it was coming though and it was to be expected. After all He was sure the he himself would act as such if he saw his mate with another man. Beltran stood though as the first guard fell "Rhyldrin!" He screamed though it did little as the male took out another guard. All the while Beltrans eyes moved and looked to his father. The male seemed to be liking the show that was before it.

It was not until Thalion got closer did the male sigh "I tire of this..." He said and that was Mizukis cue. Standing Mizuki began to cast a spell. The pale thin hand frosted over but the spell was not finished as Thalion faultered and stopped for a split moment. That however was all that was needed as the male was grabbed and forced back by more guards "You were not kidding when you said he was in training" The king said with a little laugh.

Beltran growled "Yes...training" He said walking over to the male. He knew what needed to be done and he was not looking forward to it. Walking over to where the struggeling male was he gave a swift backhand to the dark face "Learn your place!" He screamed at the male before he began the beating. When he was done Thalion was panting just as he was though the bruises and blood at the corner of the males mouth was the differance between them.

Stepping back he sighed a little "Excuse his behavior father" He said "The maggot here really dose not know his place it seems" He said as he glared down at Thalion. "Oh no no its quite alright" The king said "Nothing like a little entertainment at supper" He said with a smile. Beltran nodded his head "I do guess your right" He said lightly though at this the king sighed "Yes indeed...however I do think its about time to retire for the night" The king said giving a little stretch before standing.

At that he smiled to Beltran "You make sure to break that slave of anything like this..." He said "Other wise I will place the spell myself" He said before turning "Come now Mizuki...we have some....things we need to do" He said in a little growl. At that Mizukis hands were folded again infront as the head dipped. Giving a slight nod Mizuki fallowed closely behind the male as he left the room.

From there Beltran ordered the guards to take Thalion to his room and chain him where he should be chained. After a little he returned to the room with some things in hand. "You know...I expect you to fight but going after the king first day..." He said with a shake of his head as he walked over and undid the chains of the male. Ignoring the smark comment he nodded "Yeah yeah...whatever" He said lightly "However...I dont think you deserve this but..."

This was when the door opened "I thought you could use some insentive" He said lightly as the door opened and his sister walked in fallowed by Nytria. The male wore the same as Thalion though his colors were white and light blue to match that of the sisters colors. As soon as the cmale saw Thalion the male was on the move and arms circled a dark neck "DAD!" The male said as he hugged Thalion for dear life as his body shook.

[Rosekitten]

He hardly cared about the beating he knew to come. Not when the one person he cared about was on a magical leash at the call of this bastard. If he had his way the king would have been dead already. Forget the plan. Though they were lucky or he would have taken the group of guards out without chains on his hands. Like the king was lucky Mizuki was there...

None the less he was forced into the room and chained there. Till Beltran came around finally and spoke. Something about going after the king the first day. Yes it was stupid but damn it he couldn't... he had tried to sit there he did but his body was already in motion as his mind yelled to stop. "Tsk... switch places and see what you do.." Was his remark. He doubted anyone who could fight would have just sat there.

When Beltran spoke again he was hardly paying attention. Heck when when the door opened he wasn't not until that voice rang out, a voice he had missed for the past three years. He barely looked up in time as Nytria clung to him suddenly. He could feel his body shake as he held onto him. Even with being in good care he didn't want to know what he had gone through all of these years.

Nytria right away started saying that he was sorry and he couldn't help papa, all kinds of things that were far out of his hands and there was no way he could have changed them. "Shh... calm down.. I'm here now aren't I?" Nytria nodded weakly as Thalion held onto the younger male. "I promise things will be fine.. we'll get papa back and go home.." Though Nytria still seemed to shake in his hold.

It was odd in a way. To think this was the same male who just killed two guards without a hesitation. Yet here he was trying to comfort Nytria like he had never held a blade in his life. "Come now.. what would your sister think if she saw you acting like this?" He said with a slight smile at Nytria knowing what Belquiri would say. She'd tease him in good spirit and tell him to man up or something.

[Pinkie]

Beltran stood there as he watched the scene before him and his heart broke. He looked over to his sister and she had tears in her eyes. They really did loath the male they called father. As much as it pained him to watch it pained him more at his next actions "Im sorry but this time is short" He said to the two of them "We can not have you two together for long and im sorry for that" He said in a pained voice.

Walking over to the two he smiled "Meetings like this will be short...but I will try and make them as often as I can" He said with a nod to Thalion as he stood there. "Though young Nytria I need your word on something" At this the male looked to him as he sniffled a little "I need you to keep this our secret" He said "If anyone found out who your dad is..." He said as he paused a moment "We wont be able to get your papa home" Beltran said after a moment.

At that Nytria looked to Thalion "Really?" He asked looking back to the male before to Thalion "But dad...I...want to stay with you" He said in a sad voice. Beltran sighed a little at this "You cant" He said in a little bit of a stern voice "You want you papa home right?" He asked the male and he gave a nod "Then from here until you get home your dad is Rhyldrin to you...and he is no one you know" He said to him sternly.

Nytria growled a little as his ears dipped back. "I want papa home but I dont want dad to go!" The boy all but shouted as he pushed away from Thalion and stood before Beltran with a spell already cast. The young males hand burst into a blue and white flame as he stood there angry.

[Rosekitten]

Thalion figured little meetings like this had to be short. They couldn't risk anyone finding out that the two knew one another. Let alone that anything was going on. He didn't want to see Nytria go but it was for the best and it was the one way he could keep him safe while he was here. Besides that at the least he knew he had Nytria he had to fight for. Even if .. he didn't want to think it but even if he couldn't get Mizuki back... he had to do this for their son at the least.

Though the words that came from Nytria as Beltran explained things hurt still. He didn't want the young one to go either but they had to do this. It was the next actions that Thalion wasn't expecting though he supposed he should have been. This was his sun after all. The younger male had his hands ready and the blue and white fire started to surround them.

This was when Thalion moved and grabbed one of Nytria's arms as the fire seemed to die instantly as the younger male looked at Thalion. "Enough. There is enough to deal with without making it worse. I know you don't like it, I don't like it but I can't get you and pap out of here alone. If I could I wouldn't have agreed to doing this damned performance." Thalion was probably one of the few who could grab Nytria when he had that fire up. His own magic still being stronger then the young males as far as the fire element was concerned in it.

"You'll see me again you just have to stay strong a little longer ok?" Nytria nodded weakly before lowering his hands. Though with this it was time for them to part ways. Though maybe a distraction was in order to keep Nytria under control. "Next time I'll tell you about Neimi's little one alright?"

The younger male started to question this half shocked of that. "I said next time." He hated that it was like this but he wasn't about to turn away such small moments either. After the door closed he moved and leaned against the wall with a heavy breath. "I forgot all about that.. heh" The quick temper of the younger male. It still was something that needed to be watched. He had no idea if he still held that curse or not. He feared he did though.

[Pinkie]

Beltran frowned a little as he closed the door and the male spoke "He has a temper that one" He said after a moment before he turned and looked to Thalion "Though I am shocked at his level of magic" He said with a shake of his head "Not to mention the flame...its rare in these lands for some one to have fire magic let alone a blue flame" He said with a shake of his head before he moved over to the large bed and sat down on it.

Shaking his head a little he sighed some as he rubbed his neck. This was going to be a long mission, he just had that feeling. Sighing a little he stood "Well...as sad as it is we both need our rest" He said lightly stretching as he began to strip down. Moving to the bed he laid down in his pants. "There is not another bed but your welcome to so share" He said "Its more then large enough for two" Beltran said with a little yawn "Either that or the floor...your choice" He said and left it at that.

After that the days went on and Thalion played the part well. The beatings all but stopped and the male began to fallow everything that was asked of him. Now it was six months down the road and the plan was set in motion. It was timed for the end of the year though that was another six months from now. It didnt matter. The plan was perfect and it couldnt fail. Already he could see the looks the king gave and it made him smile.

Beltran sighed a little as he cracked his neck "I swear if that old man takes any longer I will freak" He said after a moment. Though his words stopped as Mizuki and a guard cam foward. "The king sends his regard but he can not make the trip to town today" He said "Pressing matters must be attended to" The guard said "Instead he sends his slave with the instructions he is to do anything you need" He said to them and Beltran nodded "Very well...lets go then" He said to the two of them as he turned and left.

Beltran knew what this meant. It was a test from his father. He knew the male had his suspitions he was not stupid. He knew that the moment he had returned the king was watching. Very well. As tempting as it would be to keep Mizuki else were and return for Nytria it would cause to much problems for everyone in the long run. Heading out to the carriage he ordered Mizuki in first and instructed him to sit on one side. Beltran was next then Thalion fallowed and sat beside him.

As the door closed and the carriage began to move Beltran let out the breath he seemed to be holding. He could feel the tense state of the male beside him. The rigid muscles and the clenched hands "Thalion...its okay" He said to him turning and looking to him "Everyting will be better in time" He said to him "We just need to hold out" He said lightly.

During this whole time of Beltran trying to calm the male down neither of them noticed the difference of Mizuki before them. Dull eyes shifted and flecked with color as a deep steady breath was taken. All of a sudden that dipped head lifted and those eyes grew wide. He couldnt be seeing what he was...could he. No. His mind was once again playing tricks on him. Moments like these came and went though he found them more then often.

Never though had he come to and seen the image before him so it had to be true...right? Moving a little he raised a hand slightly towards the male. His head was dipped and his shoulders told Mizuki that the male was tense. Was it because of him? No...shouldnt the male be happy? Mizukis ears dipped and he teared a little. Please let it not be a dream he asked any god listening as he took a shot in the dark "Th-thalion....?" He asked as he moved a little closer.

[Rosekitten]

"Heh... yeah... that is inherited." The temper was and the flue fire... both of the children had it. It was rare but whatever happened that day that Mizuki and Thalion bonded seemed to merge the two magics. The magic level was because Mizuki had been working with him everyday. Belquiri had a similar level though her magic was healing. Not as strong due to the fact it took them a while to find out what power she even had was.

Though as the other spoke again about needing sleep Thalion knew he was right. Though the next comments was when Thalion laughed slightly at the mention of it. "Not in your dreams." He had slept on the ground before the floor was hardly something that was a big deal to him. Not to mention that he would much rather sleep in the floor. It had a better striking point if it was so needed... Besides that like hell he was sharing a bed with a fae, it would be a cold day in hell for it to happen.

After that day things did go according to plan. Months down the road and everything seemed perfect. The roles were played well. It seemed no one thought the wiser of this little set up. Though they still needed more time before things were put into motion. All the while Thalion hated the wait. Each time he saw the other it hurt more. Having to just stand there and watch whatever went on and act like he did not care.

Thalion knew Beltran by this time and they were both thinking the same thing that this was a test. They could take Mizuki and run, not that it would do much good the male would run back to his master. So it seemed that they were better off with waiting to ensure things went according to plan. They needed to make sure the king trusted them without a doubt for things to go over well.

After they were all in the carriage and it started moving Thalion was dead silent. Yes he was tense. Being tested with the use of his own lover. He hated this. Though as Beltran spoke that they just needed to hold out a bit longer and things were going to be ok was when he spoke finally. Neither of them noticed Mizuki seemed to break the spell for a short while with the link between the two so close.

"I know this... damn it I know..." He growled a little. "Everyday I have to just stand there and watch and now this! I-" Though he cut off what he was saying as a voice spoke his name and he looked to see Mizuki watching him with a hand extended a little. He didn't know the voice it was change a bit now but it was the same voice. The eyes were normal at the moment though he half thought he had lost it from dealing with all of this.

Though right away seeing the worry and fear let alone feeling it from the other he knew he wasn't losing it as his ears dropped and the tense aura he had from a moment ago died almost instantly. Well if anyone needed to know the males weakness it was right here. The one person he would do anything for and he had feared he had lost for good.

"Mizuki.. " He said almost in a pained voice. Though he knew that this wouldn't last forever, that would be too easy for it to... So instead he did the only thing he had wanted to do for quite a while. Moving he took Mizuki's reaching hand in his own before pulling the other close and holding him there.

To hell with anyone who dared try to part them at this moment. They would find out what wrath he had been holding back. "Mizuki... my love I'm so sorry.. when Bel told me you and Nytria left I should have went after you I could have prevented all of this." To be honest he was almost ready to cry at just having a moment to hold the other knowing that feelings were there.

If only it would last, he knew it would not. But this alone would be something to keep him going. Knowing Mizuki was fighting still. Even through everything. He knew he words were meaningless. If he had been there they might have all been captured or worse. But he couldn't think of anything else to say. Missing the one before him was not the correct word for it.

As Mizuki was pulled into that dark chest he gasped a little though he didnt fight it. No instead he gripped pale hands tightly into that dark back. All the while as Thalion spoke he shook as he cried "I...want to go home" Mizuki said as he burried his head into the males neck. Mizuki stayed there for a little while until he felt a sting in the back of his head. Right there his heart dropped as he knew what was to come.

Pulling back he looked into Thalions face "I love you...forever and always" He said lightly though he closed his eyes sharply as a pain ripped though his skull as the spell tried to retake control. Opening his eyes they began to dull as he looked at Thalion "...Save...me..." Were the last words as those eyes turned from bright to dull in a matter of seconds. As it ended so did the contact. Mizuki pushed away from Thalion ripping the males off as he mvoed and once again sat back where he was with his legs crossed, hands in his lap and head dipped down.

He knew the other wanted to go home, he wanted to go and have them both with him. Never again would he made the mistake of not going with him. Though Mizuki seemed to know the link was fading again as he pulled away a little to speak. though before Thalion could even reply to it the link broke again. He knew cause he felt it.

After Mizuki was sitting again and seemed to be the blank slate Thalion shook his head a little. "I think death is almost too good of a reward." He growled a little. Death would claim the fae king sooner or later but it would be after Thalion was bored and the male had no way of screaming left in him. To be teased like that was... it was a punishment worse then death at the thought Mizuki could be stuck this way.

Though by this time the carriage had arrived to the town and it was time to leave the small space once more. The next six months could not pass quickly enough. He was ready to teach the bastard king just who he had ticked off by doing this.

They were lucky that Mizuki never spoke when he was in his trance or mindless state. So saying anything about the fact that he had pushed Thalion away from him never got to the king. Though really they had been lucky with a number of things. Over a full years time they had accomplished what they set to do. Actually over that time period it seemed Beltran managed to get more followers to his cause as well.

This would make getting Nytria and Mizuki out a lot easier with more of the guards on their side. Though it also meant that getting to the king and getting him out would be easier as well. After that day in the carriage Thalion had settled his mind on not killing the fae ruler. Oh no he had bigger plans for the male.

Most of them would tickle Ryza as it was their kinds very nature to be dark and to take a odd pleasure in torturing their victims and keeping them alive as long as possible. He had everything down to a fine detail in his head and now it was getting to the final month of things. Their plans and careful actions and performances had paid off up until now.

Over the months there was news of the king being frustrated with his pet. Apparently the spell faltering or something and Mizuki had taken out a few groups of guards during these moments. Though such news couldn't make Beltran or Thalion any happier. Less they had to deal with and that meant the king was distracted with trying to figure out why the spell was failing.

Thalion knew why and he had explained it to Beltrain some time back. Before when the twin kingdom was being built the two had been apart for over seventeen years and they were quite the distance back then. The link weakened over the years and the time apart. But with the two near one another even with that spell in place to keep Mizuki a blank slate... it seemed the old magic was far stronger and broke through at times with Mizuki's own will.

Though for now it was late in the evening and thankfully that meant he could breath for a little while and stop acting the damned part of the broken dog. Beltran had a plan to get Thalion to the king and without his guards around so it would be less of a hassle. Seeing as his father was so frustrated with Mizuki as of late it seemed like the perfect idea. Though Thalion insisted surely the man was not stupid enough to agree to being alone for any means let alone with him.

Though being in here also meant he had to deal with whatever quips and pokes that Beltran thought of tonight. Persistent was a way to describe the other male. A number of times comments just thrown in at random just to catch Thalion off guard. Probably to see what he would do or say as Beltran seemed to get a kick off of the remarks Thalion could give. He hated it though, he didn't mind the from Mizuki but coming from someone else annoyed him even if they were mostly in jest. Though none the less every night Beltran seemed to insist that the bed wouldn't kill him and the way Thalion acted Beltran though he might have some phobia of beds as well as water. So far he had said no each time, normally giving some smart remark to the offer or simply ignoring the other. To admit it he'd rather sleep anywhere other then the floor at this rate. After about eleven months of this it was getting old. Not that he had to deal with it for much longer.

Though they had played their roles well and as far as anyone knew Thalion was trained and would obey at the drop of a hat. Any order for any reason. They had to prove this a few times by killing a few of the slaves, no he didn't enjoy doing it but it was the better option then to blow all of this work they had done until now. Not only that but they were ones that had been here for a few years and their mind was no longer with them. Even if they were freed they wouldn't know what to do with that said freedom.

Not that there was a connection to these captives, they might have been folk from one of the outlaying towns in their kingdom or they could have been just random elves. Either way that display earned a number of points as well as few others to top everything off. Though that hardly mattered now as he waited for Beltran to return with news of what he had spoken to his father about. This should be the final step of their plan...

[Pinkie]

Beltran over the months works on his plan. In order to get the four males out and safely he needed to get more fallowers of his fathers guard. This task was shockingly an easy one with many of them having some vendetta against the current king. So over the time the men grew from ten to well over fifty if you included the ship and crew. Oh yes he had a deviant plan and it was going to work.

Now it was reaching the time that the plan would finally come to happen. As it came to be with his fathers current state of mind Beltran thought it was a perfect time to make his offer to his father. The fact that the link kept breaking through the spells was starting to really get to the male. Mizuki had ended up taking out a fair amount of the kings guards trying to kill the king. He had almost succeeded once as the king slept but the link died at the worst moment.

It had become more apart that something was afoot the more the link began to break through. This ended with Mizuki in chains broken and beaten most of the time. So with that in thought it was time to get the male turned female out of the kings hands. This was Beltrans thoughts as he headed for his fathers study. He needed to make his offer to the male while he had the chance.

Walking up to the large door he gave a swift knock. "Enter" He heard deeply from the other side and he gulped a little hoping this would work. Opening the door he entered the room "Good evening father" He said as he closed the door but the male just grunted "Whats good about it?" He asked and Beltran frowned a little "The night is warm and your land thrives..what isent good about it?" He asked with a tilt of his head and a little smile.

The king looked to him and sighed a little "I suppose you do have a point" He said before leaning back in his chair "Im just frustrated my boy..." He said in a huff "You know how that can be" The king said and Beltran smiled "Not as of late anyways" He said with a smirk and this caused the king to look at him with a little shock in his eyes "You didnt" He said and Beltran smiled "Oh yes I did...I must admit" He began as he walked over and sat in one of the chairs across from his father "Hes tame but not in all aspects" He said with a smirk.

This caused the king to smile a bit "Awww yes I remember when my dear little Mizuki used to fight back" He said raising his arms and folding his hands behind his head. "Those were good times..." He said with a evil smirk that made Beltran shudder a little. Though now seemed to be the window he was waiting for "You know..." Beltran said with a smile "You could have Rhyldrin for a night..." He said "Hes trained but he still fights" Beltran said with a smirk.

Though as the king gave him an unsure look he needed to think of something else to say "Nah it would be just like before...Plus knowing you Mizuki would be in the same room" He said "Would teach her a lesson no?" He asked and at that the king looked to him with a smirk "Oh you do have a point there" He said and Beltran smiled. He had the king "Have a little wine maybe...make him do as you please for the night" He said with a smile.

This was when the king smirked "Oh yes..." He said lightly "Alright my boy!" He said "For this I shall return your generosity with anything you want" He said with a smirk though Beltran just smiled "You being happy is good enough father...you have been such a grump lately" He said with a little frown and this caused the king to laugh. It was true. Because of the link he hasnt been able to get close to the male turned female without Mizuki freaking. That was how many guards died most of the time.

"Alright then...anything in the future its yours" The king said and Beltran smiled "Its a deal" He said with a smirk "So send him to my chambers tomorrow evening then" The king said "Make sure he looks good to...you know how I like them" He said with a smirk as Beltran stood 'Yes that I do father" He said with a smiled "Dont worry he will be more then satisfactory" Beltran said with a smirk as he left the room with a good night. Well...that was easier then he thought.

Heading from there to his chambers he opened the door and walked in. Right away Thalion was there looking towards him and Beltran smiled "Well...good news and good news and...bad news" he said lightly "No wait...all good" He said after a moment of thinking about it with a smirk. Though as Thalion asked what he smiled "Well...tomorrow you see the king...alone...in his chambers" He said lightly "Also...the guards on duty tomorrow...are two that will help" He said "In a matter of hours the ship can be up and ready to go" Beltran said.

"Other good news is that the back guards as well will be aid" He said as he moved more into the room. "Sis will have Nytria already down and in the carriage waiting" He said before moving to sit on the bed "There will be some men on stand by that will help get the two out" He said lightly "Oh!" He said after a moment before he gave a smirk "You on the other hand have to dress to the hilt for tomorrow evening" He said with a smirk "Cant have you going looking like some common slave...nope you have to wear what the king likes tomorrow" He said with a little laugh as he saw the look Thalion gave.

This meant earings, gold, jewels, little to nothing at all. This meant The male would have a simple long tunic to cover his bottom half. This would be accented with jewels and gold as well makeup to fit the part. The king went for male or female but he loved the image of a muscled male looking innocent and almost helpless...so a female another words at least this was Beltrans thoughts.

[Rosekitten]

To be quite honest he was about asleep or as close as he could be when the door opened. It was only Beltran, not that anyone else ever bothered to come here this time of night. Though the male seemed in high spirits as he shut the door behind him. He gave him a bit of a look at the two good and one bad news report he was giving. Though it quickly changed to all three being good.

Listening to him this almost sounded a bit too easy. Most of the guards seemed to be ready to help make this happen. Apparently his own people hated him almost as much as his enemies. Whatever, he was not about to turn down help when they needed all that they could get. Things could still go wrong but still. At the least it seemed like they had a good shot at this.

Though at the mentioning of the last part Thalion cringed a little knowing what that meant. "I dunno I think I can agree with the good news good news and bad news statement from before.." Though there was good news of all of this. If the plan worked then soon enough he would be back home as well as Mizuki and Nytria with him. That meant no more wearing whatever absurd outfits that he had been forced into for the past year.

He sighed at the thought of it. "Yeah keep smirking over there.. this is the last time I have deal with these damned outfits." Somehow he thought that Beltran enjoyed tormenting him. Though it had to be pulled off to keep the king from thinking anything was up. Not until they were sure things were in place. The fae lord was lucky that Thalion had plans for him or he might be tempted to kill him just for having to wear anything less covering then what he was already stuck in.

From there the plan was further discussed on what to do about Mizuki. Though seeing as they had stopped using the magic restraining cuffs some time ago Thalion seemed positive that he could handle Mizuki. Seeing as the King had no idea of Mizuki's true power... Besides that if he kept the King between Mizuki and himself the other had little choice in what to do. Ah yes.. the control spell was good for what it did but it also made Mizuki almost worthless in a real fight or in a situation where he had to think about the options at hand.

"Well.. guess tomorrow we find out if all of this was worth it and will pay off heh." It was true, there was a number of things that could go wrong and the fact that he had to deal with Mizuki while keeping the King controlled made it a little of a challenge. Not too much though. Mizuki would follow where they took the King so that was part of their plan as well.

"Either way... sleep is the best idea right now. Also I really don't want to know how you convinced him to agree to such a idea." Surely he didn't think the male they were dealing with was that damned stupid. But he had been proven wrong before. Apparently this was one of those times.
