Mizuki prepared everything that was needed to reinforce the camp "You should be resting" Luna said behind him and Mizuki glared at her "In a time like this I should be resting?" He asked her with a growl though she looked at him the same way "Yes you should be" She said. Over the years Luna was the only one to know Mizuki for Mizuki and not the cold mage alot knew of.

Mizuki sighed lightly "I cant there is way to much to do" He said rubbing his eyes. Luna looked to him "You blame yourself for this...dont you?" She asked and he sighed again "I sat with him night and day for a week and I didnt notice it...not once" He said hanging his head as his ears dipped back "Now hes going on about killing him and making things easy"

Mizuki shook his head at that "You know how much I regretted that day" He said "Then not knowing if he was alive or dead then to save his life just for him to tell me to kill him" He shook his head "I cant...does that make me selfish?" He asked looking towards her and Luna shook her head "No" She said "It means you still love him" She said with a nod of her head.

Yes it was true. No matter what took place between those two Mizukis feelings would never change and that was a fact. "We need to keep the camp safe" He said looking back at the maps "We will retreat the main camp in two days time" He said "Send word to Ren that papa's coming home" He said with a nod of his head.

Truth of the matter was where Mizuki was indeed was not the main camp. No it was a stationary camp to kill as many forces as he could. Mizuki in total had men in the thousands around the area. He made it his goal to get whoever he could that would fight the shadow that was coming fast.

[Rosekitten]

He should be resting and he knew it, the sooner he was rested the sooner he could leave. Not that he had any idea at all where he would go. Avoiding that she devil was one of his top priorities. Though he honestly didn't want to leave. Staying was selfish though. Mizuki had gotten alone fine, no more than fine over the years. He didn't have to worry about anything happening to him.

Not like he could sleep, the pick up in noise and his thoughts being rather scattered as to what he needed to do or tell the other. The least Mizuki knew the better, or easier it would be to leave. Yes the other had saved his life but what did it matter if he was cursed to die sooner or later. If he was that doomed why not try to take her out himself?

At worse she caught him alive again, and did what? She had done everything to try to destroy what will he had left as it was. Least he'd be useful then, if she was removed from power the other side would fall a part surely. Ok even he knew that was a stupid plan. But after all of it what did it matter? If he failed well he could figure out something. Though maybe he was thinking too much..

[Pinkie]

The days went by and the camp was okay. Guards kept watch twenty four seven as Mizuki kept the men going. Later that week the camp was bundled and the hike began. It was time to join the main army and boy did Mizuki have some thngs for the male. Mizuki was currently sitting at the head of a buggy guiding the horse as Thalion sat beside him with a blanket around the male much to his protest.

Three days had past and the fourth was just ending as the glow from the lights of the main camp came into view over the hill side. Night time was fast approaching and Mizuki smiled "I forgot to tell you but I have somethings for you when we reach the camp" He said with a smile and a nod of his head though when Thalion asked he shook his head "You will see" He said with a smile.

It took a little while longer before they pulled in. Humans, dragons, elvens, faes, and more littered the grounds but one stuck out as he pulled to a stop infront of Luna "Hello and welcome home master Mizuki" She said with a smile before looking to Thalion "And you are a sight for sore eyes..." She said with a smile.

[Rosekitten]

He had protested to being dragged along to be honest. It wasn't like he had done Mizuki any favors recently. Probably killing more than a few of the other's men while having to follow that witches orders. But he soon gave up on getting out of being dragged alone. Mizuki insisted that he needed to avoid going off on his own and just because he could walk didn't mean he could fight. Not that he could disagree with this.

Once they were closer to the main camp Mizuki spoke, though he wasn't sure if he liked the whole he'd see part at the end. Something told him he wouldn't be enjoying this as much as Mizuki expected him to. Even once they were in the camp it was a bit hard to believe in truth. He should be dead by all accounts, but yet here he was. Let alone seeing someone he remembered from back seven years. Of course the dragonkin was alive, though normally he would give her some quick witted remark but he didn't. It was odd indeed for him to just nod a little keeping his mouth shut.

Though he wasn't going to get very far before a few others noticed who was with Mizuki. He had hardly touched the ground as someone picked him up and nearly crushed what life he had left out of him. "By the gods man! You!! Out of all the odds your still alive you damned crazy elf." Felix seemed happy enough, sure reports said they ad a drow with them but he'd never dream it was the one that a number of the units from that day owed their lives to.

Verdia wasn't too far off as she sighed a little and tapped Felix on the shoulder. "You might want to let him breath... whats the point of bring him here alive if your going to kill him before they are even in the gates." Felix took the hint and released Thal though he had to steady him seeing as he was trying to catch him breath back as well as the recovery process from before was hardly over with. Though Verdia knew something was wrong right away as her ears went back and she watched her sibling. He had hardly spoken, even when he was hurt before he had a smart mouth.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki smiled at the scene but frowned at Thalions reactions. Normally the male was so open and forward but now he was standing there simply nodding his head and that was about it. Was he not happy to see the ones he knew and loved? Mizuki shook his head but he didnt get a moment to think as a shriek was heard and it took everything in his balance to not fall over.

"PAPA!" Was the words he heard as he smiled "Hello beautifull." He said with a smile looking to the young girl in his arms. She was ten years in age with pale skin but long black hair. She was human and laughed as Mizuki picked her up. "Neena this is Thalion" He said showing her to the male and the young lady smiled "Papa talks about you alot!" She said with a smile "Nice to meet you" Were her next words before Mizuki put her on the ground.

"Why dont you and auntie Luna take Thalion to our tent so he can get some rest" He said looking down to her with a smile and she nodded "Make sure to feed him to my little chef" Looking up he looked to Thalion "I have to get the troups settled but I am sure it would be nice for you to catch up with everyone" He said witha nod before walking off.

[Rosekitten]

He had missed a lot didn't he? Though what could he say, in seven years a lot had changed. Though he never pictured Mizuki with a child though. It was cute in a way, least the two of them seemed happy with it Though it seemed the girl was a human so he was guessing her parents were killed off during the fighting. Though it seemed he was about to be stuck with her and Luna for the time being, so much for the thought of trying to escape from here without being noticed.

Felix said he had to go attend to some things as well but he was going to demand a tale of how he managed to live that day. Considering the shape he remembered seeing him in anyway. Verdia however said she would help Luna and Neena. She was worried to be honest, he was breathing yes but this was not the same sibling she had before. Whatever or whoever had gotten a hold of him had done something she thought impossible.

Once they were to the tent she made Thal sit and sort of glared at him a little but got no reaction at all. With that she sighed and started getting together some things for the wraps that probably needed tending to. Though she moved to the side as she did this and looked at Luna. "You know somethings wrong right? .. He's hardly spoken." She wanted to ask him who did this but ... she doubted if shed get a answer.

[Pinkie]

Luna sighed as she rubbed her stgomach a little looking to Thalion "Yes its sad indeed" She said with a nod of her head "It seems to me that something happened to break his spirits...the drow I knew would never be a whipped dog like he seems to be" She said a little under her breath. "You need to try and get through to him" She said before feeling a tug on her hand "Auntie we need to restock papas teas" Neena said and she smiled.

Luna nodded her head "We do dont we" She said with a smile "We also need to make his bed!" She said pointing to Thalion and Luna nodded his head "Yes yes...well lets go then" She said with a smile as the little girl ran towards the tent door "Talk to him..." Luna said looking at verdia before moving to leave the tent.

[Rosekitten]

Verdia nodded a little to agree with Luna. "He's always bounced back before, I never thought I'd see the day that he was acting like any of the other males back home." Not all of them were this bad but none lasted too long acting as Thal normally did. She sighed a little as she finished preparing what she needed to before the other two left. Maybe he'd talk to her right? This was still her sibling after all, somewhere in there was still the Thal she knew that would fight against all odds.

Going over to him she went about working right away changing out the wrappings over wounds that were still healing. Magic had helped a lot in this process but even that only could go so far. Her ears dropped a little watching his face a moment. He was almost a shell of his former self, the fire that was always there in his eyes was missing. "Thal.. who did this.." She asked not expecting a answer as she was more talking to herself than anyone.

Either way she worked on each spot that needed tending too, all the while trying to get anything at all out of him. Even a insult at this rate. She was talking or at least trying to. Going over some things that had happened and that Mizuki worried more then he probably let on. She was trying to be positive but that was easier said then done. She was finished by now as she closed the small box and moved to place it on the counter.

"Oh Thal... did you finally give up fighting? All these years and you give up? What could possibly make you break like this.." She held a tone that hinted at sadness, yes she was female but that did not mean she wished ill on her sibling. "Priscilla" She quickly looked at him as she hissed a little. "Bitch... I'll kill her myself.." there was s story behind this woman, a long one indeed. But that would explain why he was the way he was, she probably pulled all the stops.

[Pinkie]

Mizukis mind was all over the place as he went about getting the larger group ready for battle for the just in case factor. Mizuki hated this part, getting everyone ready for battle that he hoped would never come. Having mages was a plus in everything and kept alot of the camps safe from berriers placed around it keeping it from view and hence from harm.

"Sir" a voice tore him from his thoughts as he looked up to see a female before him dressed in medical robes "What is it?" He asked with a little sigh before she spoke again "We have an issue with one of the men" She said "His wounds infected and it wont clear" She said with a frown "We have tried everything" She said looking to him.

The whole time she spoke Mizukis head never left the parchment in front of him as he listened to her words "What kind of infection?" He asked a little causing the woman to think "Its a fungeal on sir" She said and he smiled a little "Have you tried the tip of nightshade?" This caused the females eyes to widen "No sir I never thought of it" this caused him to nod his head "Very well" He said "Try that then come talk to me" He said with a smile and she nodded leaving.

Mizuki some days could not believe the things he was asked though at the same time he would rather them ask then them try and kill some one. That was his thought for awhile until his mind drifted else where. That else where was on Thalion.

The male he knew and loved seemed so defeated and it bothered him to no end. Sighing he went back to his parchment but couldnt for the life of him get his train of thought back. So instead he got up and left the battle ready tent to head to his own personal one. After ten days of no rest and only herbs to keep you going...Mizuki was tired to say the least.

This was when the thought of having Thalion to cuddle with crossed his mind but he then growled a little to himself as he thought on it. Thalion was a former shell of himself and he doubted anything would happen even down to the slightest of hugs. This was his thought as he entered the tent and saw Thalion sitting at the table with some tea as Luna and Neena sat with him though they seemed to be eating some fruit before bed.

"All that sugar before bed" He said causing Neena to smile and kick her legs out as she sat on the chair "But papa its an apple and apples are good for you" The little girl sad and Mizuki smiled walking in more heading for the table "Yes they are but not so close to bed" He said before bending down and kissing the top of the girls head.

Mizuki looked to Luna "How was she tonight?" He asked before sitting down at the table between Neena and Thalion so he could look right at Luna. "Oh she had some of your stubborness earlier but other then that a perfect angel" She said with a nod. "What about..." Though he stopped his words and just motioned with his head a little towards Thalions direction. Luna said nothing but shook her head causing Mizuki to sigh.

"Well either way if I keep you here any longer I will never hear the end of Felix's complaining" He said with a laugh causing Luna to sigh "Yes I know trust me...for a human he sure is dose grow on you though" She said with a smile standing up and nodding her head she left the tent. This was when Mizuki looked to Neena "And you little miss...its time for bed" He said with a nod of his head "We have a long day of study and training dont we?"

Neena nodded her head "Yes we do!" With that the little girl finished the last bit of her tea before standing and walking over to Mizuki. Hugging the male she kissed his cheek "Night papa" She said and Mizuki smiled "Good night my little flower" He said touching her nose with his finger lightly. This was when she gave a giggle before moving over and Mizuki watched as she rapped her arms around Thalion giving the male a hug "Good night Mr. Thalion I hope you get better" She said before bounding off to her room.

Mizuki shook his head "I dont know how she could be so happy every day" He said with a shake of his head before looking to Thalion "And you need rest" He said to the male though got nothing in response. Standing he walked over right infront of the male and knelt down looking into dull ember orbs. It seems to him the fire that flickered there was gone.

[Rosekitten]

Verdia had left a bit before Mizuki returned. Saying something about how she needed to let off some steam before she went after the wench who did this to her brother. Sure she use to complain he was too out spoken or that he would have to conform to their ways. But the day he left and seemed to make a life for himself. That was the day she started to accept that her sibling was never going to be like the rest, in truth over the years she was glad of it. He never cringed at the sight of a female or took orders like a beaten dog. But now... She was going to try to support him but she needed time to accept the fact that he might not return to how he was.

A child was a bit of a change, in his random array of thoughts he never pictured Mizuki having a child. Or rather taking care of one. It was a human child and it seemed to have no Elvin blood form what he could tell. Probably a victim of the war. But she did talk a lot that was certain, even with Luna trying to keep her from pestering her papa's 'friend'. Whatever the reason being called that was a bit upsetting. What did he expect though, it had been seven years. Let alone he knew himself that he wasn't acting the way he use to... but he couldn't just stop it either.

Even with getting next to no answers from Thal, Neena still asked away. It might have been better that Thal wasn't answering her. He had no idea how Mizuki felt anymore, even with being around the other for a few days. What did it matter, it was a matter of time before his own magic did him in. He should probably tell Mizuki about that, but whatever the reason he couldn't bring himself to. Maybe it was because he hardly cared about anything at all. But there was still the thought buried in there somewhere that he wanted to be with Mizuki.

Either way it didn't seem he would be free of someone bugging him any time soon. Luna kept reminding him he had to eat. And he had, well enough to live anyway. She couldn't really complain seeing as he had eaten something at the least. But even that peace was short lived as Mizuki seemed to return now. Something told him he was about to have to deal with him now.

Though what he wasn't counting on was Neena hugging him. He flinched oddly enough from it. Though if anyone knew what he had endured while being captive then it was no wonder, heck it was probably lucky he let anyone near him. Though after the girl seemed to bound off to bed Mizuki started to talk to him about how he needed to get rest.

It was true enough he did need it, but it did not come easily. Once he was able to move without cringing in pain he stayed curled up almost in his sleep. Not like that saved him from anything but to just seemed to happen over the coarse of getting to sleep. It was about this time Mizuki seemed to look at him and question what could do this. The slightest emotion of fear made itself known but quickly died. If only he knew, it wasn't a fate he would wish on anyone, even a enemy that was certain.

He had tossed the thought aside of speaking as he flinched again feeling Mizuki touch his chin. He wanted to say a lot of things but the words refused to form. It wasn't helping seeing Mizuki like this, saying he missed the old Thalion. His ears went back a little at the thought that he was doing something he never wanted to do and tat was to bring unhappiness to Mizuki. But he couldn't voice that thought as all he managed to get out was that he was sorry.

Mizuki seemed to leave well enough alone though. Probably for the best seeing as prying at this stage would only make things worse that was certain. Though he did make Thal lay down finally instead of leaving him to wallow in whatever thoughts he seemed stuck on. It would be a few days at the least before he could freely just walk about due to the healing. Even then there was likely to be no real change in Thal and how he acted. Thal was still in there but he couldn't force himself to be the way he was before.. not yet. Not when he still feared that woman finding him and doing lord knew what. The last thing he wanted was for her to find Mizuki...

[Pinkie]

Mizuki knew that he was not getting anywhere with the male before him and that tore at his heart. He wished he knew a way to make the male like he used to he but with that thought came the answer. Time. That's all he could do was give the male time to gather his wits. After putting the male to bed Mizuki himself did just that but sleep did not come easy.

The days passed by amd Mizuki tried his hardest to get the Thalion he knew and loved back but it seemed to be a hard job at best. Now a week had passed and at least he got one worded replies from yhe male that alone was a good step. Though Mizuki wished to spend what time he had with thw male running the troops was so time consuming.

"come on papa you promised!" Neena said with a frown causing Mizuki to sigh and rub his eyes "i know sweetheart but there is many things to do" he said looking to her and cringing as be saw the tears begining to brim in the young girls eyes "Neena let me finish this then we will go out like you want" he said.

This was when be got a great idea though in the back of his mind something told him it was bad but he brushed it aside "unless you can convince Thalion to take you" he said with a smile looking up to the male "if not you will have to wait to go and pick your flowers and herbs" with that he stood and glancing at Luna he smiled "i will return in awhile" he said with a smile before leaving.

Mizuki hoped that the little stunt he pulled would bring Thalion out of his shell a little. It was so unnerving to see Thalion in the state that he was in so maybe some time alone with an innocent would would help the matters. At least that was Mizukis thought.

[Rosekitten]

He had been trying but he couldn't just get over it. It wasn't like he enjoyed being this way, he hated it in fact. Nothing really motivating him to go back to how things were or to even fight. But things weren't expected to change just over night now were they? In due time surely things would improve, or that was probably what a few people were thinking anyway.

Over the days they had improved a little, at the least it was a step in the right direction. Thal wasn't completely useless as far as getting about or doing tasks went, but fighting was out of the question. Probably half the reason he was caught by Mizuki's little scouting group in the first place was the decline in his abilities. But least if he moved around a bit then people seemed to leave him be. Well minus the child anyway, curiosity was abound in this one.

Today looked promising of being a easy going one up until he over heard Mizuki saying he was busy. The girl seemed to really want to go out today and Mizuki had just told her to get him to go along with her. He could tell her no but he remembered how well that went last time. Children were manipulative little creatures that was certain.

The girl took to this idea almost before Mizuki could finish explaining she'd have to wait otherwise. He hardly got the moment to think before Neena was already standing there with ever pleading eyes. Mizuki already seemed to be retreating from this little conversation and Luna seemed to already be prepared to busy herself so she couldn't take the child. How could he say no with that look even? This was more then unfair, not that he voiced it of course but still.

After a few moments they were out of the tent as she lead the way to where she wanted to go. Most would call this a bad idea on Mizuki's part Leaving a child alone with a drow who had been employed by the other side. Though seeing as he had no weapon it made him a bit less of a threat. Plus his current state he was more or less a lost puppy then the fighter Felix and the others knew him as.

After a while, questioning from the girl the whole way, they got to where she wanted to pick herbs. It seemed a little far from camp to be honest but there were scouts in the area so things should be safe enough. Or that was what he thought as the child quickly went about looking for whatever that seemed to catch her fancy. Some of them were not herbs to say the least but she was a child still after all.

Though it took a mere moment to lose her and her quick little bounded self. Great, of all the things to do... Luna was going to kill him, forget Mizuki. He was just about to go looking for her when a sudden scream catch his attention. That had to be her, but a slight panic fell in place of not knowing what had caused such a scream. First thought went straight to the worse outcome possible. But surely none of the Queen's forces had made it this far.. right?

But this thought was a short lived one as he located the girl and the one currently holding her by the arm so effortlessly. She was alive so that was good though the words from the other made his blood turn at the thought. "Well well what do we have here, a runt? You'll make a good addition to her pet collection." Like Thal was going to stand there and let Neena be taken and subjected to a fate similar to what he had gone through.

Whatever thought had caused him to snap a little, it was probably a good thing as he stepped forward determined to warn the man before dealing with him. "I advise you let the girl go." "Oh and who is going to- Oh well this is a surprise. Her Majesty has been looking all over for you. Your rather hard to find." He still held Neena in place and pulled out a blade before lazily holding it near her. "what do you care if a human child dies? Or did you lose track of how many you had killed over the years?" Not of his own will but he had hardly lost track.

"I do not have to answer you, but I do not take well to repeating myself." He warned for the final time. The man laughed before shrugging a little, as far as he knew the seal was still active so Thal could not harm any of her own men. But that was his mistake. Either way Neena was thrown to the ground as the other seemed to grin a bit. "Oh I'm going to enjoy this, you dont even have a weapon. What makes you-" "Try me." This seemed to cause the other to get a little annoyed at the situation as he went to dart forward.

The strike was stopped before he got much more then half a step in as the blade was out of his hands and stuck fast in the ground. It had taken a mere simple movement to do the disarm and pin, mot would have thought it executed flawlessly. The pinned man grunted as he tried to free his arms only to be greeted with a slight popping sound. "Tsk.. damn you" The enemy scout still tried to free himself though Thal had other plans as a sudden crack rang out before a slight cry of pain.

"So.. maybe if you have something useful to say I won't go about breaking every bone in the living corpse you call a body." The currently captive scout hardly had any information let alone something that wasn't known already. This bored Thal quickly and when some noise was heard not too far off coming towards them he decided it was better to deal with the scout now to save trouble later if it was another one. This being said snapping ones neck came easy enough, probably a quicker death then he deserved.

(ok i got a bit carried away i think.. im sorry!)

[Pinkie]

Mizuki sighed as he looked over the papers before him. Seems the patrols were having some issues as of late with scouts in the area. Usually it was one male that was easy to kill and move on but he guessed that they were tired of loosing men so they began to send out up to three men and it was starting to be a pain in Mizukis side.

Mizuki reached out and grabbed another paper before he was interupted by someone running into the tent. Looking up he growled "are you not supposed to be on patrol?" He asked the male who entered "yes sir bit there was an issue" this was when he was told about the scream and right then he didnt wait for the male to continue as he waS out the door with his staff on hand.

Out of all the people they could of gone after they picked Neena and Thalion. In the males current state he doubted that he would be able to defend the young girl. This was when his heart jumped. What if he couldn't save than this time? What if it was to late and he was rushing towards dead bodies? No! He couldnt think like that not as he just got the male back.

Rushing through the trees he went in the direction the reported scream was heard "please dont let me be late" he said to himself as he ran. It was not before pong that he came to a dead stop at the sight bwfore him. There Thalion was holding a crying Neena as four men layed dead before the male. Mizuki aS shocked but it seemed they werw both okay.

"oh thank the gods" he breathed as he made his way towards the two. Looking at Thalion his face grew soft "thank you...I don't know what i would of done if i lost you two..." He said his face growing Ass at the thought. Mizuki didn't kn.ow how Thalion pulled it off but he was glad he did "are either of you hurt?" He asked them both.

[Rosekitten]

Seemed he was right in staying on guard as a few others showed up. Though he wasn't in the mood to toy with every single one of them. No he wasn't completely back to normal but he'd be damned if they were getting the girl or dragging him back to her. A corpse maybe, but aside from that it was not happening. After a while of silence Neena finally braved to move clinging onto Thal as she sobbed. Probably more then scared, who knows what memories it brought back for her but it couldn't be avoided.

After a moment he heard another noise and right away was preparing for the worse. Keeping one hand on the child as he waited for whatever foe to show itself. Though much to his surprise it was Mizuki, though he looked paler then normal. From the sounds of it he had figured the worse was going to come of this. Of course it probably wasn't normal for someone to kill four or so armed scouted without a weapon either.

He glanced at Neena who was still stuck fast in her position, though that only lasted a moment as she seemed to glue herself to Mizuki after noticing him finally. "Fine, just a bit shaken I think." It wasn't too long after Mizuki got there that Felix and a few others showed up though this wasn't what Felix was expecting to see in the least. They had only followed Mizuki in his rush to ensure that there was not more of them out here.

"Well... I'd hate to see what you'd do if you had used a weapon." Felix was sure Thal had killed all of them, he would have been right but they didn't have a single stab mark on them. Though he did that on purpose. The child had no business watching that much blood be spilled when she had no say in the matter.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki picked Neena up the moment the child grabbed hold. He was about to say something to Thalion when Felix and three other men came out from the bush. At Felixs comment he smiled softly "Oh I have seen it and its impressive" Mizuki said with a nod but turned to Thalion "I thank you for not doing it here though" He said placing a kiss on the childs forehead "She didnt need to see that" Mizuki said looking back up to Thalion.

Mizukis ears dipped back a little though as Thalion turned his head a little. This caused Mizuki to turn and start walking back to the camp with two men fallowing behind him. Mizuki didnt know why things had to be this way. He wished for the day to come that Thalion actually returned to him.

Taking Neena home he went right to the childs room. Placing his staff down Mizuki sat down on the bed and cuddled the smile girl to his chest. "Its alright" He said softly picking the girls face up towards him and rubbing the tears away "Your safe now Neena" He said with a soft smile.

This was when the little girl did something that Mizuki would never forget. She reached a hand up to her eye and wiped away a tear. Looking up she gave a soft smile "I was always safe" She said "I know Thalion wouldnt let the bad men get me" This made Mizukis heart melt but break at the same time. A moment where Thalion was himself and Mizuki missed it.

Smiling Mizuki watched as Neena gave a yawn "Such a long day you had my dear I think its time for bed" The little girl nodded her head and Mizuki stood up. Removing the blanket he placed her down gently before covering her up and kissing her head "Sleep well. Dream of golden feilds and blue skies for as far as the eye can see. Light rivers flowing with the catfish at play" He said softly watching the eyes close and the faintest of smiles show on Neena's lips.

Walking out Mizuki turned down the gas lamp and left. Walking back to the main part of the tent he didnt pay attention to anything. His head was down and his ears were back. It wasnt until he realized he had stopped walking that he looked up. This was when he noticed Thalion sitting before him with Luna and Felix. He nodded his head to them but didnt say anything as he began to make a tea. He needed soemthing to take his mind off his thoughts.

[Rosekitten]

It was a start at least, it wasn't going to be a full recovery in one mere afternoon. But things had to start somewhere. He did what he had to do, he didn't really want to kill in front of a child like that but they were more of risk alive then dead. Already having the one close call he didn't feel the need to risk a second.

When Mizuki said he was glad he didn't use a weapon Thal nodded a little. He wasn't stupid. No child needed to see blood everywhere, surely the girl had seen plenty of that as it was. But he never voiced much else, not at that moment anyway. His mind was busy with matters. Like what was he suppose to do? Surely by now he knew that the Queen had no idea of his location, or of this camp. Yet the fear was still there.

Once they were back Mizuki right away attended to Neena. Luna questioned what had happened as Felix explained things. Felix had worked with Thal enough before to know well of his fighting skills but to think he had pulled it off just to return to a similar state as before? Even as Mizuki came back out the two were talking. Well more like Felix was trying to pry information form Thal, this would be short lived as someone else was about to come in having heard the reports.

"It wasn't that big of a deal.." Thal finally said trying to get Felix to leave well enough alone. About this time Verdia stormed in hardly waiting to let Mizuki answer if it was ok to come in. "You idiot! All this time you could have told someone." She growled a little, right away Thal seemed to know what she was talking about.

She put her hands on her hips standing there as she glared at her sibling. "So how long were you planning to keep the act up that you were ok? You forget we are twins and that being our powers are linked. Something goes wrong with yours and I know about it." Though this was when Thal had a bit of his stubborn streak kick in trying to say he was fine.

She didn't buy it as she placed a hand on his forehead. "Fine my ass!" She snapped. "I don't even want to know what temperature that is, but your not fine. You know that, even without you telling me what she put you through I have a good idea." She huffed a little pulling her hand back before crossing her arms. "Obviously you want to live or else you could have taken care of that today. So what you think it'll go away.. our magic hardly works like that."

Where his temper did flux a bit it had caused his magic to react to it, he had been trying to avoid emotion to prevent this from happening. Known fact was Verdia used fire magic, same as Thal if he were to use it. Over all the flux in his temper had caused it to react, wher eit hadn't been sealed in years and knowing that devil woman she forced him to use it.. lord knew what real damage it had done. And people wondered why he hated magic.
