He only even bothered moving to see what Mizuki was up to, with him being able to move around again he figured his resting or rather boredom was about to be disrupted soon enough. Though he wasn't planning to watch the man undress, that wasn't part of his initial plan. Though he seemed to space out a little, he wasn't even really paying attention to what Mizuki was doing as he was getting lost in his thoughts again.

It had just dawned on him he could be stuck here till they did finally let him die hell if they really wanted to they could force him to eat.. that wasn't pleasant in any way. Though his thoughts did drift a little from that to how the hell Mizuki was a General and didn't seem to have a scratch on his body.

Though he quickly put that thought aside and questioned himself why the hell he even had that on his mind, maybe that odd dream he had or rather nightmare had gotten to him worse then he thought.

Little did Thalion know there was going to be another raid on this little camp, a full force one. Not calling upon the full army tat the West had to offer but enough that would be able to take this camp over.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki soon dressed in his regular black battle hiori. Looking to his armor he kind of laughed at himself. Like hell he was putting that on. Then his eyes drifted to the lavender chrystal that was laying on the table. His heart skipped a beat. He rached out as quick as he could to place the chrystal back around his neck. Once he felt the cool stone set upon his skin he gave a little sigh.

Noticing that there was no hair tie upon the table Mizuki gave a little shrug and grabbed his staff walking slowly back over to the bed he sat down. Moving back into the place he was before now with his staff held across his lap Mizuki looked up and finaly spoke to Thalion. "There is a change of clothes there upon that table for you" He said simply indicating to the table on the other side of Thalion and the food.

[Rosekitten]

He never moved even with Mizuki speaking to him. Whatever his thoughts were on seemed to distract him well enough. Hell he was't really sure what he was thinking about. He kept going back and forth between being positive that he could get out of this damned mess and then to the fact that being that blind was stupid.

All of this could have been avoided if he had just watched his target better he should have known it was just a shadow copy of it's owner.. it wasn't that hard to miss it if you knew what you were looking for. Why did he have to be careless one damn night and it come to this. It was a learned lesson that was sure, not that it did him any good.

though after a while it did register that he had been spoken to, though he found it amusing to say the least when it clicked in what he was told. "tsk I think you'd enjoy that too much." He said in a slightly amused sounding voice, he wasn't being serious but he wasn't about to try and get changed either. Not with him there, it wasn't the matter of privacy it was more of the matter his hands were still bound and he wasn't even about to try to pull that stunt off. Plus he didn't trust Mizuki to not try anything stupid. .. not that the man couldn't make Thalion do whatever he leased with the little charm still attached to his skin.

There was a group of at least five scouts checking the area out and feeding reports of numbers and what tent to be targeting. Seemed word had still gotten out that Mizuki was hurt or at least slowed enough to be less of a threat. Though for the moment the main force stayed out of view of the camp, they would wait for it to be darker to have a advantage. The group had a few shadow mages with them each holding the ability to allow others to see in the dark or also know as shadow sight.

there were also arrows and other weapons with similar curses and enchants compared to the dagger that had gotten Mizuki. if anything that alone would keep this camp busy while they got to Thalion, apparently the leader of the Western army wanted this commander back badly..

[Pinkie]

Mizuki stayed almost meditated all day. The light in the tent began to dim before the medical team came in and lit candles to provide light. They then began to check over wounds of both people within the tent. Mizuki just sat there and moved when he was told so they could check everything. The mark on his chest was healed completely with no trace left behind. He wished he could say the same for his back though. With what the Drow had did the night before the laserations were to great to heal over fully. White bumpy scares formed over his back from his left shoulder blade down to before his ass. Some creeping to the side very close to his heart. He was lucky. "Will you just shut it already" Mizuki said to Thalions protests and profanity towards the medics checking him over

[Rosekitten]

"I will not just shut it" He hissed towards Mizuki. "I've got nothing better to do hell at this rate I'd beg for you to just slit my throat now then to have to deal with being stuck in one spot for the rest of my days." He was being serious too, he would rather die then be forced to stay alive and be kept bounded. Hell he wouldn't wish that fate on his worse enemy even.. though he didn't know he'd get the chance to decide that soon enough.

It was a few hours after the medics had left the tent leaving only the guards behind, though it was still only the two guards.. not that they needed more then that against a unarmed and bound captive. Let alone one that had no magic ability.

About that time the night sky was still slowly creeping over head, it was dark enough to begin the strike. A sudden cry came through the darkness as a wolf's howl cold be heard through out the camp grounds. Though it wasn't just a wolf cry it was one of a wear beast. After the howl was released a small group of mounted units forced themselves into the camps front gates soon to be followed by the units on foot and then a smaller unit group that was only 5 units in all that dropped from the sky on griffin back.

The commotion that suddenly arsed outside perked Thalion's interests as he laughed a little thinking about it. It was funny to him if it was another attempt to try and get him out of here.. he had plans now if that was the case. The guards looked at him and then to Mizuki across the way waiting for a order, they were told to not let Thalion out of their sight but they also had the duty to fight if something like this came up.

[Pinkie]

Mizukis head snapped to the noise that came from outside. It was not the first howl but the second that came from Maya. It was a howl of war! Mizuki focred himself to stand and looked to the gaurd "Go and fight I have him" He said turning a glare towards Thalion "I swear to the gods if I find out this was all for you I will skin you alive" He said in a very calm tone.

Mizuki was pissed! Of corse they would attack the camp now when he was down. He wanted to go out and give every living thing a peice of his tired and fustrated mind. All that mattered right now was watching Thalion or so he thought until a voice was heard behind him "Well well...what do we have here" That is when he felt the cool slide of mettle to his neck. In his tired state he didnt notice another cut the tent and enter the room behind him.

Luna was outside fighting tooth and nail to get towards the tent all the while screaming orders "Pattalion one north!" She shouted and watched as men of all different races run about "Dragons take flight' She yelled and finally "Your number one priority is to get to the General!" She shouted over the comotion and watched as the battle began to migrate closer to the tent where Thalion and Mizuki were in. Her heart skipped a beat as she notied the rip of fabric.

[Rosekitten]

Thalion shrugged a little "hell if I know what they are thinking, apparently I'm important to someone" He found it funny that Mizuki was threatening to skin him alive, he'd make some smart remark but he didnt get the chance to as someone came up behind Mizuki and started speaking, as well as another figure. It seemed to be the lizard man from before. "maybe you'll reconsider that promotion now seeing as the General went out of his way this time to ensure you were relived from the care of the Eastern army" He hissed out, though it almost sounded like a threat.

Thalion shrugged again. "tsk I don't want a damned promotion rank means nothing, when this fucking war ends i'll go back to my normal bloody life and be rid of the lot of you." Though in the same breath he seemed to demand that they get the binds off of his hands before he really got pissed.

Rubbing his wrists a little be took a blade from the one who had control over Mizuki at the moment, though he smirked a bit thinking about it. "oh how the tables do turn" He seemed to think of a plan for this, yes that would work.

"you start walking outside be sure to point out that his neck is on the line, and you follow him." He was going to follow them as well, plus look out for the two dogs that Mizuki always kept close by, they would be the only real issue.. though they should stand down if they valued his life.

Fighting was heavily under way by the time they started to move outside, though it seemed like the Eastern force was trying to locate the general of the force that was currently here, it was a shame he would not be found on this battle ground.

[Pinkie]

Luna fought and gave everything that she had to get to the general before the west could. It would seem though she was to late. Glancing over to the tent she stopped dead in her tracks at what she saw. There he was the general being led out of the tent by Thalion knife held closely to the vital spot. She gave a hiss of pure anger and jumped off the ground to flap her wings and take flight.

Soon she landing rather harshly before Thalion and the general "Let him go" She all but screamed. He eyes didnt travel away as every last person in that area stopped and looked at what was playing out. Though it seemed she could do nothing to aid her general "Eastern army...stand down" Mizuki said in a horas voice do to his strained neck "But sir" Luna began "Thats an order" Was all he said. He would wrather keep his life

[Rosekitten]

He hardly seemed threatened by the woman as she ordered him to release her general. He left Mizuki in the care of the two others that were with him as he stood before her. Most feared her kind, being strong and damn annoying to kill. But he seemed to care less. "I don't think you have the upper hand here to be ordering me to do a damn thing girl.." he hissed at her, he looked like he was mere seconds from striking out at her and in truth he probably was, his temper had easily worked its self up again as he stood there. not to mention he had plenty of reasons to hate her and kill her and the General here both. But He was leaving him alive for the moment.

"tsk you heard him, i'd advise listening, maybe I'll return him with all of his limbs attached hrm?" Sure he was being a little cocky but in truth thats just how he was, he cared little about what others thought. All he wanted to do was get the fuck away from this damned place and from there he really could care less if they dropped Mizuki off a cliff side.

With the army given the order to stand down, the Western side stopped it's attack and started pulling it's units back to the outside of the encampment. Once they were outside the camp as well he had half a mind to repay that favor of fixing Mizuki to a horse, but he didn't for now anyway. "You make sure he doesn't fall off" He said before they forced Mizuki on a horse binding his hands and feet so he couldn't do anything aside from lay there on the horses backside behind it's rider.

Thalion looked back towards Luna sure she had tried to be nice to him but he didn't give a damn she wasn't getting the General back he'd probably have to be killed to prevent further bloodshed. "If you follow I swear he'll bleed out faster then you can blink.." was his final words of warning to her before mounting onto a different horse that was brought with the group. With that being said the ground left the Eastern camp behind them and started heading off.

One of the riders came up next to Thalion seeing as the true General of this unit wasn't there and asked where were they suppose to take the captive. The answer was all too easy as he laughed suddenly thinking about it. "Mizuki was it? You wanted me to answer that blasted question of yours.. well you can have the answer now"

He looked back to the man who asked where they were headed "simple we're going to the main base, I don't think they are bold enough to try and follow us when his life is on the line, let alone in his state he's not completely able to defend himself."

[Pinkie]

Mizuki was fuming! How could this of happened! He lisened to everything that was going on paying attention to little details that may help him later. When the rope was placed around his hands and feet he gave a huff. At least this was better then being dragged behind one. He thought to himself as he was placed on the back of a horse. The last image Mizuki saw was the almost lost look of Luna as he was carried away into the trees.

[Rosekitten]

It took most of the night before Thalion finally seemed to bring the group t a stop and dismounting. It was rather funny how close this area was to the Eastern base. "You carry him, and you three deal with the horses." He said before walking forward a few steps and bringing his fingers to his mouth before releasing a high pitch whistle though it had a certain tune to it.

A few seconds later the rock formation it self seemed to disappear before them to reveal a large interior cave. The group seemed to move forward, aside from the few that were told to take the horses to where they kept them and then the griffin riders who quickly took off after the group was inside the cave and the wall appeared once more.

The inside was almost like a town on it's own with homes and buildings carved into the stone face and then some taking up the floor and other flat areas of the cavern. There were even what seemed to be daily life going on around them, including children laughing and running about and families going about the day to day struggle. This was why Thalion was so damn stubborn to protect this, the one thing that he refused to let the Eastern kingdom have.

"you can release his feet, not like he can escape" He started walking forward before he spoke again towards Mizuki this time "you wanted to know, well you do now and it won't help you worth a damn. These caverns were used long ago by the drows of this land and it's all that these people have to call home."

Not that he really needed to explain it but he felt like he wanted to. Though he was quickly greeted by a young girl that suddenly jumped from one of the ledges and latched herself to his side. "Thal!" She cried out a she began sobbing suddenly and saying she was sorry over and over.

"tsk idiot.. cry over something important, I told you i'd make out right? and I did so stop this." He said putting a hand on her head before she let go and nodded a little though she was still upset it seemed. Though her expression changed after she saw who they had with them and she quickly hide behind Thalion or at least out of sight of Mizuki.

He sighed a little before looking at Mizuki "are you happy now? Your face scares young children" Though he smirked a little before walking away from the two who were making Mizuki walk. "were should we take him?" one of the two questioned before Thalion got too far off.

"I don't care put him somewhere out of the way, it's not like we have cells or nothing down here.. damn I dunno shove him in my quarters for now, i'll move him later after the General decides what to do with him." With that being said he walked off to probably go seek out the fabled General of the Western army to see what he was suppose to do with such a captive.

The two looked at one another before making Mizuki walk again, the looks from the people they passed were fear, sadness and hatred all mixed together. Most didn't know who he was but he was from the other side and the other side had killed so many of them already. Though the two walking with him ensured no one messed with him.. too much as they made him walk what seemed to be a good mile at least into the caves.

"well for now this if your last stop" The lizard man hissed out before forcing Mizuki into a decent sized room after opening the door. There were some form of light it seemed to be small glowing orbs, though there were some candles as well but the orbs glower far brighter then the candles. The two stayed with Mizuki, they'd do so till they were told otherwise. They would probably be excused by Thalion he hated giving orders but he did a damned good job at it. But when he could avoid it he would do so.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki watched everything that passed before his eyes as they traveled. Anything to keep track of where they were headed. He would get out of this then everything would pay. Mizuki was one to hold a grudge. He gave a huff as the horse finaly stopped. Good thing to his ribs ached like no other!

Standing he stretched as soon as his feet were cut free. Able to walk behind them he gave an angered growl to the men forcing him to walk past the pase that he could. Mizuki was angry about alot of things. One being that before this whole kidnapping bullshit happened he forgot to braid and tie back his silver hair. Now it was dingy and messy with dirt and mud from the ride up.

As they entered the stone cave Mizuki looked about. He could almost understand why Thalion was so carefull not to give away its location. Not only was it filled with solders and weapons there was women and childeren to. He was gussing alot of them to be from the castle before the raid happened.

They acted as if nothing was the matter. Just like every other day it would seem was about him. He was about to make a comment when a little girl starteled him by jumping on Thalions back. And then he realized who she was and almost smiled when she realized who he was. He was not pleased with Thalions comment but he lived with it and kept his silence the whole way.

Being shoved into a room was hardly his idea of fun, yet that is exactly what happened. He sighed and sat down under the farthest window from the door. The guards stood by the door never leaving it unguarded even for the smallest second. Looks like he was going to be here for awhile.

[Rosekitten]

"sounds good.. wait what...." Was part of a conversation that could be heard outside of the room that was being guarded, it sounded like Thalion was talking with someone and he wasn't thrilled .. at all. It had been a few hours from when he last left the guards with Mizuki and he had been speaking with the general this whole time.

"You heard me" The other man spoke and it sounded like they had stopped walking, the two guards looked at one another sort of confused what was going on. "Thats not even bloody fair!" Thalion protested whatever he had been told wasn't making his day. "If i knew that I would have just dropped him off a damned cliff or something on the way here, why am I being punished when you wanted me to be back here"

The man seemed unaffected by Thalion's tone as he spoke again. "your not being punished, I thought it was a fair trade off now you can do as you see fit to him, revenge whatever you want. But either way we're done here.. I will speak to you again later" With that the other man seemed to walk off before Thalion grumbled under his breath as he walked into the room.

"You two.. LEAVE!" he barked suddenly, both doing as they were told quickly. Once they were gone he glared at Mizuki before speaking. "well lucky me I apparently get to baby sit your ass... " He was hopeful he could pawn him off to the general seeing as this guy was the general of the other army but that wasn't the case. He muttered a few more things under his breath but they seemed to be in another language aside from common.

Walking over to a closest that was on the side of the room he quickly poked through it before pulling out a change of closes, similar to what he was wearing before. To admit it his legs were still a bit sore from a few days ago now.. but he was forcing himself to go on cause there wasn't really time for rest.

He started to walk past Mizuki, he wanted a bath desperately then he'd change clothes, but he stopped for a second before speaking again. "Not going to talk at all are you? Geese that's annoying.. at least humor me a little" With that being said he went back to his walk to take a bath, really he wanted to die as soon as the hot water touched any of the sore spots still on his body.

The room was pretty much a one person living quarters, it had a room for the bath and other things and then a small area with what seemed to be a kitchen the rest was just where the bed and anything else you could think of was placed. Though there was only one door to the whole room and that was the one to get in or out. He should be more worried that Mizuki would try to run but he doubted the man had that type of energy stored up.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki sat there and listened to everything that happened and the tinyest of smirks could be seen on his lips as Thalion stormed in and explained that he was to "baby sit his ass" as he so elegantly put it. Mizuki didnt want to talk. Talking led to trouble and Mizuki had enough of that at this current moment in time. Though when Thalion said "humor me a little" Mizuki wanted to tell a joke just to get a rise from the Drow.

But he soon changed his mind hunching over so his hair was a silver wall seporating him from the outside world Mizuki began to sing softly. The tone was light and calm, almost loving. He sang it in his native tongue the words rolling off his lips with ease. Half way through he switched and sang the same thing in english.

"Why do you cry for me oh great river?
It is I that should weep for you.
Your waters now tarnished and red,
Within your lines float the dead.

So many lost to one so great,
Seems hardly fair that he knows our fate.
So pray to me my child of war,
So we may rest in peace once more"

Then the song ended just as it had began. Mizuki didnt raise his head. He just sat there in the silence that came after his voice. He was glad for it. The song brought about many memories of wars won and lost...each one Mizuki had spilt blood.

[Rosekitten]

He never paid whatever Mizuki was saying or doing much mind as he finished what he was doing and threw the pants on, though he felt lazy at the moment and left the shirt off. It was his home after all why bother. He wasn't planning to go anywhere for a while.

Though when he walked out, his hair still a little wet from the bath, he sighed a little seeing Mizuki still hunched over. He kneeled in front of Mizuki a second before grabbing his hands and flipping a dagger from his belt and cutting the rope that had been binding his hands together.

Afterwards he stood up again and put the blade away almost as quickly as he had drawn it. "Go take a bath, if your going to be stuck here least get cleaned up" He walked away from him and flopped onto the bed face first before complaining into the mattress for a second and then moving to roll onto his side. "whatever you need should be in there, and if you behave I might think about not retieing your hands.

Ok sure probably the dumbest move he ever made but at the same time he was in a bit better condition then Mizuki was at the moment. Really it was just bothering him on his conscience to have the guy tied up in his house.. He hardly cared if the guy did try to run away. Though if he did Thalion would surely kill him then to prevent word of this place from being leaked out.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki sat there for a moment a little dumbfounded as his binds were cut and he was told to take a bath. He was greatful for the Drows kindness. He almost wished that he head showen the Drow more kindness. Slowly standing Mizuki walked over to the bathing area and ran himself a steaming hot bath. After the water was drawen Mizuki underessed then slipped into the steaming hot water.

As soon as he was in the water and his back was rested he gave a sigh. It felt so good! Mizuki brought his hair over his shoulder and sat there running his hands through his hair cleaning it of dirt and grime from the long trip there. He hummed to himself and closed his eyes as he sat there in the hotness.

Soon Mizuki drained the tub and dressed in his clothes. Sighing he ripped the end of his shit and parted his hair. Talking his time he braided his hair then tied the end with the piece he had wripped off. From there he slowly walked back into the room and sat where he once was no shirt upon his chest either.
