Mizuki walked and walked but the more he did the more he regretted to choose today of all days to try and escape. Moving through the thick snow he shivered as he continued though he stopped the moment he heard a roar over head. Oh yes because thats what he needed right now. Growling Mizuki stood there and looked about him. He couldnt see the drake anywhere. The night was fast approaching and the snow was getting thicker.
Turning Mizuki headed through the snow again before he noticed a cave up in the distance. Or at least that is what he was hoping it was. Growling he shivered as he paused again. He could no longer feel his feet or legs and his arms were loosing feeling fast. He knew if he paused again he wouldnt continue. Taking a couple more steps he all but fell to his knees. Shivering with almost blue lips Mizuki hunched down and tried to keep what warmth he had in the smallest space he could. Mizuki never thought he would die this way. He always thought it would be on the battle field to some one that bested him. No instead he had an icy grave alone and covered in snow. Such an ironic fate for the frost mage. ~*~*~*~*~*~ ♥...If you will have me we shall be...♥~*~*~*~*~*~ ![]() ~*~*~*~*~*~♥ ...Together forever and a day...♥ ~*~*~*~*~*~ | ||||

that roar could be heard for miles around. Though he seemed to have more luck then that. Pressing on a bit further he finally saw more tracks though that was not the exciting part. There was a figure hunched over or least he thought it was a figure. Blasted snow made everything hard to see even as it started growing darker it as hard to see.
Getting caught up to the hunched over figure he knew it was Mizuki and the slight quivering told him he was alive. Grabbing Mizuki he forced him to stand and managed to get him to walk far enough to were they got to the cave before Mizuki seemed to fall to his knees again. It was all Thalion could do to get his breath back. The wind had hardly helped any. Lest the opening was small enough they shouldn't have to worry about drakes getting in, not that way... Leaning against the cave wall a moment he finally found breath enough to speak. "Damn I should have let you freeze to death.. screw this weather." He said between a slight pant his lungs still burning a bit being out in the weather. Though Mizuki probably thought this was the last person he was going to see all the way out here. Yet both of them were still hardly out of trouble. Though this was when Thalion did something he thought he was going to regret as he moved to where Mizuki was still at and grabbed his hands before tracing a line along each cuff and then a symbol that stood for open. "Still kind of surprised you didn't try to remove them before now." He had hardly put anything complex on them to lock them, though at the time he wasn't sure they'd work either. | ||||

Mizuki was shocked that anything had grabbed him let alone the male that stood before him. Though he had to admit that he was glad to see the male. He shivered as he knelt on the ground in the cave even out of the wind it didnt matter. Mizuki was chilled to the bone and he knew it. Moving his hands he rubbed as much of his chest as he could with the bound wrists.
Though after a moment or two Thalion came over and he all but froze as his arms were grabbed and he watched as the cuffs were removed. Looking down at the black and blue skin he cringed a little as he touched it lightly "Trust me...I have tried" He said with a shiver "Seems you know...more about binds then...even you thought" He said shaking as he moved his arms to rub his chest once more. It was true though Mizuki had tried and he tried everything under the sun. Though right before he gave up a thought came to him. They were soul sealed only being able to come off when the placer of said cuffs did it. That right there made Mizuki loose his hope but it seemed he got it back now that his hands were free. After a moment or two Mizuki growled a little "Why...didnt you just...leave me to die?" He asked raising his head and looking right into Thalions face as the male still knelt before him. "I would...be less of a burden...to everyone then" He said almost sadly as he shivered harder. ~*~*~*~*~*~ ♥...If you will have me we shall be...♥~*~*~*~*~*~ ![]() ~*~*~*~*~*~♥ ...Together forever and a day...♥ ~*~*~*~*~*~ | ||||

"Hardly.. it was a simple rune, heck it was even old elven that's common knowledge to elves isn't it?" Ok maybe it wasn't? Yep he needed to bite his tongue before his past came back to really haunt him. "Well either way... " He had hardly thought he had done anything special to the things. Not intentionally anyway...
He sighed a little as Mizuki spoke again about just leaving him. "Because I'd never hear the end of it from Neimi." Ok that wasn't the real reason. "Because dying out here in this blasted cold weather is hardly a death I'd wish on anyone. Drakes were a better option but they are blind as bats in storms." After a moment he pulled out a blanket he had brought with him knowing for sure he was going to find Miuzki half frozen or dead. He had taken a moment to think about what he was doing and he knew there was a step further he could take this but he didn't really want to go that far. So he was going to try this first as he Moved Mizuki and wrapped the blanket around him before forcing him close. So maybe being a fire user had a few perks... still didn't mean he liked it. "Besides I've been thinking... and don't you dare say any damned smart remarks." He decided to include that before he changed his mind on this. "You could have killed me three times and didn't. So I think there is something else then just you following orders. If you were just following orders I would have been dead over nine years ago being of the enemy kingdom." Also maybe impaired judgment to run out here in a storm, or he fact that he didn't want Neimi to be upset that she had failed when she was just starting to improve. Ok maybe a lot of things. Hell maybe if he would even admit it to himself he might actually like the others company, it gave him someone else to talk to other then Neimi, Raden and Felix. | ||||

Mizuki didnt struggle as the blanket was forced around him. No that was a welcomed thing though as he was pulled close to the other male he struggled a little until the grip on him tightened then he stopped and settled into the male behind him. He had to admit that the heat coming from the male was welcomed as he shivered.
Mizuki was about to say something but he stopped as Thalion began to speak again. It was true he could have killed the male many times but all in all it was not a direct order so why should he bother? Not only that but something about the male drew Mizuki in and he coudlnt explain it. After awhile of them sitting there in silence Mizuki couldnt help but to move. He knew he was taking a chance and he almost expected to be pushed away. Turning a little he curled into a dark chest as he let out a deep shiver. He was freezing and the warmth that came from Thalion was so inviting he couldnt help as he placed his head on the males shoulder and hid it in a dark neck. "Thank you..." He said after a moment of sitting there shivering. Mizuki knew that Thalion didnt have to do what he did but he was greatfull that in the end that is what had happened. ~*~*~*~*~*~ ♥...If you will have me we shall be...♥~*~*~*~*~*~ ![]() ~*~*~*~*~*~♥ ...Together forever and a day...♥ ~*~*~*~*~*~ | ||||

To admit it he hated the silence. He only knew remotely what to do to try to warm someone because he had been on trips out here before himself with a few others to hunt down missing scouts or ones that got lost in storms. Most of the time such trips did not end well.
When Mizuki seemed to move closer he did catch himself flinching a little. Heck he was half expecting Mizuki to push away some time ago not try to move closer let alone thank him. Though there was a thought in the back of his mind things still weren't exactly stable to say the least. The storm could go on for days or if they really had no luck a week. Oh please don't let it be a week. Sure he had grabbed supplies but not enough for a week. His ears went back a little at the thought he might have signed his own death over when trying to save someone he should let die out here. "Don't thank me yet... we're not exactly safe here and your still shivering.." He wasn't sure what to do really. Well he was but he didn't really want to. After a while longer Mizuki still seemed to be shivering and it had hardly lacked up at all. Oh how he was going to hate what was getting ready to come out of his mouth. "There is one more thing we can do to try to keep you from freezing to death... and I really don't want to suggest it... " He paused a moment. "Its your choice though, keep freezing or strip." For starters he had to admit he was cold as well, both of them needed to probably get out of the clothes they were in seeing as they were wet. Though he honestly didn't really want to. Though what Felix had said was true. Thalion wore long sleeves even in the summer just to avoid showing skin as much as possible. Not for any real reason he just disliked being exposed. | ||||

Mizuki tensed as the male spoke. Strip or die? What kind of options were those? Mizuki stayed where he was for awhile before the shivering became to much. Mizuki knew that the male had the answer. Bare body heat was stronger not to mention the fact that their clothes were wet causing them both to shiver and be colder then what was needed.
After a little while Mizuki nodded his head "O-okay" He said with a nod before he moved away a little. Mizuki blushed the entire time as he removed the clothes he had leaving nothing on but his underwear as he sat there shivering curled into himself. His pale skin seemed paler in the shadows of the cave though each vein in his body showed it self leaving red and blue hues over different parts of his body. Mizuki sat there and shivered in his own world. He didnt really pay any attention as to what took place around him. No all he thought about was how cold he was. He didnt move even as he heard the rusteling of movement beside him and the blanket was once again placed around his shivering back. ~*~*~*~*~*~ ♥...If you will have me we shall be...♥~*~*~*~*~*~ ![]() ~*~*~*~*~*~♥ ...Together forever and a day...♥ ~*~*~*~*~*~ | ||||

At first he thought Mizuki was going to reject the offer even with it being the best bet they had to living through this. Though he really didn't want to take his clothes off either. Sitting here shivering in wet clothing was not the brightest idea and it would surely kill them both.
After another shiver Mizuki seemed to agree finally as he moved away and started taking his clothes off. Though both sides seemed against doing this. Probably no wonder seeing as not even a month ago they had tried to kill one another. Now they were stuck in a cave almost fully naked with no where else to really turn to in order to make it through the night. If they managed that far they could probably force through tomorrow morning if the storm let up a little. Either way he half caught himself watching Mizuki. For whatever reason though he blamed that he was tired and half frozen himself as to why he stalled at all. Though he did notice that Mizuki seemed to be blushing. It was cute in a way till he scolded himself for thinking such a absurd thought. Right he was just tired, this whole ordeal and still being worried they might not make it all the same. Wrapping the blanket around Mizuki's shoulders he went back to finishing taking off his clothing or most of them. Ah yes now he was reminded why he hated showing skin. There were a number of scars that he would rather forget about and wished they would fade or something though they refused to. Though some of the more recent ones were from Mizuki. Never the less he shoved that thought aside before moving again. Mizuki seemed to be frozen in place as he hesitated before pulling Mizuki close to him once more. Ok so he had to admit this was far better then what they were doing before warmth wise. Maybe Mizuki wouldn't notice that his own face held a red tint to it hardly being use to anyone being close like this. | ||||

Mizuki shivered as he moved in close to Thalion as the male moved him closer. Mizuki could of stayed away or pushed the male back but something was different about this male. Mizuki couldnt place his finger on it. No not that long ago the two males fought over everything not to mention trying to kill each other...now here they were cuddeling to keep warm.
After awhile of sitting there together Mizukis shivering began to lesson more and more but it didnt stop. After awhile the silence began to get to Mizuki. This was when thoughts of how they could die here came to his mind. It all began to settle in and Mizuki didnt like the thought but it was there. "You know..." Mizuki began "I hate the king" He said as he closed his eyes placing his head back into the males neck. "He has done nothing for me yet I do everything for him" Mizuki said with a little huff. "Countless lives lost...all that blood spilt...you dont know how much I wish I could take it all back" He said lightly with a little shiver. Mizuki paused for a moment "You know..." He said "My hands are clean yet they are the dirtiest" He said with a sad tone. Mizuki thought this was the last time he would ever be able to say anything to anyone so he wanted some things off of his chest "I...have never actually taken a life with my own hands" He said softly in a whisper. ~*~*~*~*~*~ ♥...If you will have me we shall be...♥~*~*~*~*~*~ ![]() ~*~*~*~*~*~♥ ...Together forever and a day...♥ ~*~*~*~*~*~ | ||||

He had the same thought, the idea of dying like this. They'd never be found out here or odds were they wouldn't. No fire no nothing to give away they were even in here. But he couldn't think of anything to say or do and it was all he could do to be close to the other just to stay warm.
Both of them were still shivering as after the while of silence Mizuki seemed to speak up finally. He hated the king? Why the.. why do everything then?! He nearly wanted to ask that as Mixuki seemed to continue. The idea of fighting for someone who you didn't even agree with. At the least he fought on side he agreed with. The idea of keeping freedom. Not that his kind had anything to do with the war but he lived here... if the group he sided with fell he would be as good as dead or would lose whatever freedom he had. With Mizuki saying he wished he could take it all back. He was going to say something before Mizuki added in he had never taken a life before. He moved a little looking at Mizuki a little in shock. "You... wait your joking right? Hell by the age of seven I had to kill just to make it out of the ruins that were left of my families home alive... not taking a life wasn't a option." His ears went back a little at the thought of it, if Mizuki hated it so much... "Why then? If you hate it so much why do you follow him. If you had made it back to your camp you would have turned right around and attacked that sorry excuse for a fighting force you saw wouldn't you?" He wanted to know. Odds are he knew the answer and it was yes. He had probably saved someone who would in a heart beat turn around and kill him and anyone else if the king ordered it. He sighed a little at the thought. He had some things he could get off his chest like his actual real background. But that could wait. He saw no point in digging that far into the past. | ||||

Mizuki sighed "I had no choice" He said lightly as he moved and looked at Thalion "When I was young the king at the time slaughtered my entire village...everyone but me" He said lightly as he dipped his head "After finding what I knew dead and burned I sheilded myself from the fires around me" He said with a little nod "The king then took me and forced me into his camps" Mizuki said lightly "After the beating you soon learned not to test the kings word" Mizuki said with a sigh.
Moving a little he brought his knees to his chest as he moved a little ways away from Thalion "I was young then...so young and so stupid" He said with a growl. "Then a war happened and the king died...I thought I was free" Mizuki said "I had plans to leave and escape but then another king was chosen and this was worst then the last" He said with a sigh. "Villages burned and people died but soon enough the hit was about and the king died." Mizuki sighed as his ears dipped back "The king to fallow was the worst" Mizuki said "After so long I trained and learned under every magical master the king through at me..." This was when Mizuki shuddered a little "I soon became general of an army" He said "Did the kings bidding anything that was ordered it happened" He said this was when Mizuki shrugged a little "Its because I fear death..." He said lightly. It was funny really...the legend genral was afraid of death. But he was and it was true Mizuki hated the idea of it. The thought of nothingness. So he did what he had to in order to stay alive. Shaking his head a little Mizuki sighed "I did what I had to..." He said lightly in an almost not there whisper. ~*~*~*~*~*~ ♥...If you will have me we shall be...♥~*~*~*~*~*~ ![]() ~*~*~*~*~*~♥ ...Together forever and a day...♥ ~*~*~*~*~*~ | ||||

"Wait wait... you just listed off... at least a hundred years worth of kings that had ruled." That was when it really dawned on him how screwed he should have been during the first encounter. He could hardly be considered a fighter back then. Even with the more recent battle they had he should have been killed. Mizuki should have been able to kill him easily, heck without even breaking a sweat even.
Though it all came down to the fact that apparently the lead general of the East didn't want to die. Almost the opposite of Thalion. He had lost count the times he risked his life over what he thought was right and had paid for it. By any account he should be dead probably at least ten times over if not a few more. "Still after a while couldn't you have stood up to the new king?" All of this could have been avoided years ago if Mizuki was as powerful as he seemed to be then couldn't he have stood up against orders? Though it came back to maybe he was worried about failing. Failure meant death for sure. "Forget I asked that." He said exhaling a bit. "I don't really know your fear so it's not really fair to question why you didn't turn around and try to fight." Probably due to his race, that was something that was almost unheard of with the Drow. If in a fight they didn't back down. It more or less was a fight to the death. "So what then?" He started before explaining what he meant better. "Winter won't last forever, when things clear up there isn't anything stopping you from seeking out your troops where ever they are and finishing whatever order that had you out here in the first place." He was pretty sure that order was to find the main camp of the resistance. | ||||

Mizuki shrugged "I dont know" He said lightly "Everything happens for a reason" Mizuki said "And I believe that more then anything" Mizuki said with a little sigh "Even though it sucked for the longest time I was meant to loose that fight to you" He said lightly. Mizuki then shrugged a little "Maybe it was my turn to see the pain that I should of felt all those years ago" He said lightly as his ears dipped back.
It was true though Mizuki did feel the pain. Seeing what had become of a once proud person. Shaking his head a little he sighed "The thought of...what has been done" Mizuki said before he paused "It needs to stop..." He said lightly to himself. Mizuki didnt know why he had changed his mind but over the time he spent with the male he knew things needed to change. Looking up to Thalion Mizuki didnt know quite what to say but some things came to mind "Even if I have to do it my self" He stated with a little growl as tears brimmed his lavender eyes. ~*~*~*~*~*~ ♥...If you will have me we shall be...♥~*~*~*~*~*~ ![]() ~*~*~*~*~*~♥ ...Together forever and a day...♥ ~*~*~*~*~*~ | ||||

"Meant to lose.. yeah right." He knew for a fact Mizuki could have killed him easily. "If anything you learned a lesson not to toy with everyone you run across." Thats the only reason he tied the last encounter they had. Though maybe he would have won that fight who knew. Or maybe Mizuki was on to something that could be possible as well. Though he still was grasping the fact he should have been dead to this ... apparently struggling general.
"Maybe... " Maybe it was time Mizuki did see what destruction his following orders and fear of death had caused. Thalion didn't really take too much stock in all of that fate stuff or that things happened for a reason. He was pretty sure dumb luck had a large factor in a lot of this. He noticed that Mizuki seemed to almost be ready to cry at any second as he rolled his eyes a little. "Oh come on don't you start crying.. that is not going to save any energy or heat for that matter." Yeah water was the last thing they needed at the moment. "you can change things... and don't go thinking about how much your hated or that its impossible." Seeing as he had dealt with people hating him just because of the race he was for most of his life, maybe all of it if you could clan feuds. "Just think tomorrow morning the storm will be over we can drag your ass back to camp and you can start trying to be helpful instead of upholding your reputation as the ice general." Uncaring and heartless, he almost thought he had a double or something seeing the male before him. A few days ago he would have called someone crazy to tell him he'd be having a chat such as this let alone nearly completely naked in a cave with the lead general of the East. | ||||

Mizuki shrugged "Maybe your right" He said lightly with a nod of his head. After that they didnt speak much. Curled into each other to stay warm. It was a nice feeling to Mizuki. He had never had a person be this close to him so the warmth let alone being held. It was nice if he had anything to say about it.
After that the night went on and so did the storm. Awaking the next day Mizuki groaned as he looked outside. The snow fell just as heavy and thick as it had the night before. Great...Mizuki thought as he looked at the snow. It didnt seem to be letting up anytime soon. Moving slowly he moved from Thalions arms before he covered the male back in the blankets. Mizuki knew that the way the snow was falling they were not leaving any time soon. So he might as well make the best of it. Getting dressed in his now dry clothes he covered himself in his cloak as well as Thalions then left the cave. It took him longer then he thought but when he was finished he headed back to the cave. When he got back he shivered as he entered the mouth of the cave with his arms full. Only to be met with a pissed off Thalion "What?" Mizuki asked as he put down the wood on the floor fallowed by the rabbit he had cought "You know as well as I that even though that was fantastic we need more then body heat to keep warm" Mizuki said as he shivered a little rubbing his arms. Setting the food up he sighed a little. How on earth was he going to light this. After a moment he gave up and all but flopped back on the floor with a little shiver as he rested against the wall "yep...I give" He said "Its not happening...we are just going to freeze to death" He said lightly. ~*~*~*~*~*~ ♥...If you will have me we shall be...♥~*~*~*~*~*~ ![]() ~*~*~*~*~*~♥ ...Together forever and a day...♥ ~*~*~*~*~*~ | ||||

somehow he had managed to get to sleep. He wasn't sure how exactly but it happened. He never even noticed Mizuki moving away or leaving for that matter. Not till some time after the male had been gone. When he finally was awake again the only good news was that the clothes seemed to be dry and that was the first thing he worried about. The next thought was that Mizuki had run off probably to freeze to death given that the weather didn't let up.
Though after a while it seemed Mizuki came back as he put down the bit of wood he had managed to find. Though it was what he said that caused Thalion to all but blush as he glared at the other trying to hide whatever hint of color change in his face that had come on. "T-that was what?" He started hardly expecting Mizuki to say something like that. "Hardly..." He muttered as his ears went back at the very thought of it. It was not fantastic as the other put it! Or rather he wanted to tell himself that, he couldn't really say he didn't enjoy it at least a little.. Having someone close and just talking ... ok maybe he was being stupid that or he was losing it finally. Could be possible. spending too much time with the humans and such. Either way he sat back against the cave wall watching Mizuki start the fire, well try to. He watched the other try and fail a few times before Mizuki finally gave up. "Here I thought all those years you spoke of would mean you were smart." He said before moving just enough to click two fingers together as a spark caught on the wood before it started burning. Moving he went back to leaning against the wall as he shrugged a little. "Just because I hate using it doesn't mean it doesn't have its uses... " Ugh he hated admitting that. | ||||
