"I do try! You know the answer to everything and can mange things so much damn better why the hell am I even still around?" were the words that were thrown into his face and this caused Mizuki to growl deeper "I dont know why are you!?" He asked as he lashed out with another spell. By the time this took place the two of them seemed to make it into the courtyard. By now there were many standing and watching the two kings fight. One of them being Nytria the male though seemed to have enough of his fathers fight.

Getting Vaden and explaining what was happening the two rushed back to the courtyard just as Mizuki cast another spell. Though anger clouded his mind and the spell he used would of done more damage then what was needed. Thakfully with a well placed shadow wall the ice hit nothing. This was when he saw a Ryza all but tackle Thalion to the ground explaining to the male that enough was enough. However Mizuki didnt think it was time to quit as he cast another spell.

He however did not get to finish this spell as he himself was found face first into the ground with Luna holding his arms with her knees into his back "Will you stop! You are going to level the castle!" She screamed to him and Mizuki struggled "I dont care!" He yelled "Let me go!" Mizuki screamed as he struggled "I will make him care if its the last thing I do!" He screamed out in pain an anger. By this time the emotions Mizuki felt took over him and at the point he didnt care.

Even as he laid there under Luna screaming ans cursing he struggled "You dont know the pain I went through!" He screamed as he stuggled to get away "What I still go through because you cant see anything infront of your face!" He screamed to Thalion as the shadow wall left and his eyes met that of the males. This was when Thalion stopped his struggles a little. Mizukis eyes were clouded over in pain as tears slipped down dirt and blood covered cheeks.

"No one should have to explain to their child that!" He began though this was when Thalion began to speak and Mizuki cut him off "You have no right to speak!" He yelled "Its bad enough that our child comes to me and has to ask why his father has no time for him..." He said before his struggles died a little "Let alone asking why his dad dosent love him anymore" Mizuki hissed glaring at Thalion with everything he had "...and on his birthday no less!" He hissed before he cast his spell and with a little flash of light he was gone with nothing but frost where he was to show that he was even there.

[Rosekitten]

He was going to fight Ryza to get her off but as Mizuki started talking he struggled less. The longer the other went on the less he tried fighting against his captor. What could he say really. He didn't have any idea what Mizuki had been dealing with from the young boy. Not if he had really told him weeks ago he'd look at whatever he had to show him.

Hell Mizuki was right he had no idea on anything about their child. The magic, what his fears were... none of it. The longer he thought about it or well rather later he would think about it he didn't have a right to really strike back at the other. Not when Mizuki was right it was his fault. Maybe he had a point in what he said, why was he her if things were being handled while he seemed to be in his own world.

Though those were later thoughts. Right now as he watched the spot where the other use to be he found himself at a loss. Had Amonar really asked Mizuki that? Had he been pushing the child away so much the boy felt the need to ask or even thought that he didn't care for him. Out of anything Mizuki could have said that hurt the worse. Hell at this rate Mizuki could say he never wanted to see him again and he wasn't sure it would have hurt more then to think his own son thought he didn't care about him or love him or anything.

Hell he knew what today was in the back of his mind. After being reminded of it he felt like a idiot for not thinking of it sooner. Though by now Ryza had let go of him as she helped him stand. she could tell that he was busy with his thoughts. "so what was -" He held a hand up to silence her as he started walking. She blinked a little looking towards Luna as she sighed. Though Vaden shook his head a little leaning against a railing off to the side where he was near Nytira. "I'm getting too old for things like this." He was glad that it came down to a mere wall and nothing more drastic.

Ryza looked to Luna worried as she suggested maybe to find Mizuki to make sure he wasn't going to level the place. Though she would leave that to Luna. She was pretty sure that Thalion was done for the moment. Not having kids she had no idea the impact of such a thought. Though she did remember Thalion saying he wanted to be nothing like his own father and yet here he was probably running over his thoughts. Let alone he was hearing them aloud from his own child. He knew as a child his father didn't care but he swore that would never happen.

So he set off to do the one thing he could do. Make mends with Amonar, or try to. It didn't take much thought to tell him the child was with his sister. That or Neimi but Neimi was getting old and her own child had grown up by now so it was normally with Belquiri.

Belquiri was reading a book as the knock to the door came and she answered it seeing Thalion there. Though the marks and little bit of blood on his told her plenty as to what had happened. Her frowned a little worried as she spoke. Well she tried to speak before he stopped her shaking his head. "Is Amonar here?" She nodded a little. "In the back, he's just playing .. but are you-" He nodded a little knowing she was going to ask if he was ok. He wasn't really. He was in pain from the words Mizuki told him.

Walking with him she followed Thalion as they went to the back of the study where Amonar was. Though the boy stopped everything he was doing at the sound of footsteps. Looking over his shoulder the child moved to face the two of them though it was easy to tell who he was watching as he seemed to brighten a little. Funny thing about children, they forgive so easily. Adults dwell on things for so long and a child can forgive you just in a instant.

Thalion got Amonar to come over to him as he knelt down to the boy. As soon as the child was in reach he pulled the boy close to him and held him there. "Your dad's been a idiot you know that.." Belquiri stood a little to the side with her ears dipped down a little. She knew how hard both papa and father works but ti got to them both. This was hardly the first fight but it might have been the first time well..one of the few times she had seen Thalion break down a little. The male before her having a slight catch in his voice as he spoke.

Still holding the child close he shook his head a little as the child asked if he was ok or what he meant by that. Shoot a child didn't care for details or excuses. They just wanted some time and to let them know they were loved. Moving he looked at the boy standing there still with those bright eyes like always. "I'll make up for today, hows that sound?" Amonar seemed to think a moment before nodded. "Papa said you didn't remember what today was" the child pouted a little, though Talion never said how right Mizuki had been. No point in ruining the child's image of him any more then it was already.

No he was going to try harder, or that was his plan anyway. Well.. depending on how things went with Mizuki. He still had to make mends there. That was another story altogether thought. Either way Thalion didn't bother trying to explain the complicated details a child would never understand. No he kept things simple for now saying he did love Amonar. That he was sorry for being so busy as of late but things would change. He promised on it.

[Pinkie]

As Mizuki cast his spell to leave he had one thought on his mind, how he wanted things to be simple again. With that thought he was not shocked as to where he ended up. Mizuki found himself breathing heavy as he stood in their room gazing at the painting that hung over the fire place. In it rested a happy Mizuki that held an almost new born Amonar. Thalion was to his side and Belquiri and Nytria stood on either side of them to create the image.

Those were simple times even if they were times of little to no sleep and constant worry that Amonar would stay healthy they were simple. It was nothing like how things were now. The fear of the dragons going on a rampage was the thought in everyones mind though at the same time there was steps that could be taken to prevent such things. As it was the steps were taken and the ruins and spells were placed. Besides that training was another thing to keep the hatchlings in line but that could only go so far.

Everything was just getting to Mizuki and this mornings actions were something that caused him grief to think of. "Why do you have to be so stupid?" He asked in a pained voice to a silent room. It was then that a knock came to the door but before he could answer he heard it open and close. There was only a small number of people that would do that to their kings personal chambers and looking up he was right as he gazed at Luna. Turning his head he sighed before he growled "What do you want?" He asked in a growl as he crossed his arms.

This was when Luna crossed her arms and growled "Care to explain why not only do I have to rebuild part of the courtyard but as to why I have to do the halls as well?" She asked with a tilt of her head and Mizuki growled "Its nothing" He said though at this she shook her head "It is not nothing Mizuki" She said in a growl and at that Mizuki looked to her. Luna usually called him master or lord and only used his name alone like that when she was angry. Looking at the female he could tell that she was.

"You two may fight but nothing to that extent" She said with a shake of her head as she walked over to where Mizuki was standing "Dont you think you may have over reacted?" She asked though this caused Mizuki to glare deeply at her "I did not over react!" He said "You dont know how much it pained my heart to hear him ask me those words this morning" He said as he turned his head a little "One thing I always told myself was that no matter what happened our childern would be loved" He said in an almost whisper.

At that he then turned his head and looked to her "Then Amonar asked why Thalion dosent love him..." He said with a growl and a shake of his head "I reacted proper!" He said though his words were cut off as his head was whipped to the side as a smack sounded in the room and was joined by the pain in his cheek. "You over reacted!" Luna hissed to him "A childs mind is a fickle thing" She said "One small thing that seems to be misplaced can lead to a world of hurt in a split second and the next all would be right in the world" Luna sighed a little.

Crossing her arms again she glared at Mizuki "You and Thalion work and work and work" She said "You both are guilty here maybe Thalion a bit more but that is besides the point" Luna growled out before him "He forgot and took his work to much to heart..." Luna said "Though the entire time he did and seemed to stay away from you what were you doing?" Luna asked "I know the one thing you didnt do...and that was seek him out" She said "This could of changed Mizuki and for the worst"

At that Mizuki looked to her "That last spell you used would of killed him Mizuki..." At that Mizukis eyes widened. Thinking about it the spell that he did cast last moment would of killed the male before him as well as some on lookers if it connected with its target "If it was not for Vaden that spell would of landed...then Thalion would of died and you would have fallowed" Luna said in a hiss as she backed away a little "Then you would of left Amonar with no love from either of you!"

Okay...that hurt and more then Mizuki wanted to admit. His rage had took control over him and he didnt even realize that it could of been so much worse in the end. Hanging his head Mizuki took a step back "You need to realize that even though he may not be there at times Thalion will never leave your side" She said "Even if it seems at times he wants to" With that she turned and left Mizuki behind in the room alone.

As soon as those doors closed Mizuki fell to his knees where he stood. Looking down at his hands that were still frosted over he clenched them and growled. How could he of been so stupid!? Shaking his head he punched the ground infront of him. Though he didnt stop there as his spell once again took place over his hands covering them in ice. Kneeling there he cried to himself as he punched the floor before him over and over again.

[Rosekitten]

Fixing things with Amonar was easy. He wasn't that old and he had no idea of the trouble the world actually had. No he didn't even really have training to do. Maybe a little if what Mizuki said was true and the boy had magic. Though it probably wasn't serious training that was for sure. Just something to grasp the basics so he could control the power and it not end up being lashed out against his will.

"Where are you going?" Belquiri finally asked as Thalion stood finally. He sighed a little before answering. "I need to talk to Papa about a few things." She seemed worried at this as she looked towards Amonar who was already back to doing whatever he was doing before. "Is that what happened earlier?" She questioned with a gesture towards one of many the open cuts on his body. Let alone the fact that he had ended up without a shirt on through all of this and she knew how opposed he was to just walking around without one.

He sighed a little. "Yeah well... my fault for not just agreeing with him eh?" He smirked a little though it was a weak one as she shook her head. "You two need to stop fighting... ever think of a vacation? Me and Nytria can handle things and-" Though he told her that her and her brother were still young too. They had things they could go out and be doing instead of staying cooped up here. Though she was having a point maybe they did need a vacation sometime. Not right now but sometime...

Either way he had made his mind up on going to find Mizuki and maybe fix things. If not well.. he'd try tomorrow once things settled more. This in mind he headed towards the room and hoped the other was there. Might as well end the fight where it started. Getting near the door he head some noise inside the room and waited a moment before entering and shutting the door. Though it seemed he caught Mizuki in mid swing as the other finished that strike.

"I don't think beating up the floor will fix anything.. besides that I think its a poor substitution when those are probably directed towards me." It was a fair guess. Odds were Mizuki was still angry at him. He had a right to be he had taken his work too seriously and had failed at giving the people he cared most about attention.

Though he didn't get a answer right away as he breathed out a little. "If you want me to go just say it. you meant what you said earlier and you can't deny that you didn't." When Mizuki had said he didn't know why he was still here. The link helped a lot of things but it also prevented them from lying to one another. If Mizuki wanted him to go so be it.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki didnt know how long he had pounding his hands at the floor before him. Long enough for the spell to fade and instead of ice covered hands bare hands hit the floor instead causing them to break open and bleed as he hit the floor now covered in ice. He was in mid swing of another blow as he heard the door open and another walk in. After the blow hit the floor and he growled at the pain in his hand did he look up. This though was when Thalion began to speak and the words did hurt a little.

"If you want me to go just say it. You meant what you said earlier and you can't deny that you didn't." Yes...it was true. When he had said those words he really did want the male to leave. Though now as he knelt there breathing heavy with his hands bleeding he didnt know what he wanted. Everything was just so troublesome he didnt know what to do. "What about you..." Mizuki asked in a whisper as he sat there "Do you really not know why you are here?" He asked painfully.

Turning his head head up Mizuki looked to Thalion. The tears since the fight slowed but didnt stop as they created small pathways through the blood and dirt on his cheeks. "If you dont..." Mizuki said before he hung his head again "Then...why be here...right now" He said as he moved from kneeling to sitting where he was.

That was one thought that seemed to be at the forefront of his mind. Yes it was true that as the two of them fought Mizuki wanted nothing more then for the male before him to leave. Though this didnt mean that he wanted him to leave the castle, the kingdom or his life. No that meant he wanted him to leave the moment in time though now looking back on his words he could see where it would be taken the wrong way. Even so the response the male gave was one that hurt.

[Rosekitten]

Well least he wasn't trying to deny it. Though Mizuki asking why he was here or if he knew why he was here. Those were dumb questions to him as he shook his head a little. He knew the answer. Surely Mizuki did if he thought a moment or wasn't in the emotional state he seemed to be in.

Either way he didn't answer the other right away as he walked from the room they were both in to the bath room and back out before over to where Mizuki was as he knelt down to the other and grabbed one of his bleeding hands daring him to pull away before he pressed a cool cloth on it. "I know why I'm here, you know the answer to your questions yet you still ask them.."

He breathed out a little before he bothered cleaning the hand he was holding captive at the moment. "Even if I left I'd end up coming back." He said with a weak laugh at the idea of it. Though it was true. "You know why though I guess I'll answer you just to make sure you know." Before Mizuki assumed the worse. "I'm here because I do care.. even if you don't think I do or think I'm bored with you or the kids... I'm not."

He sighed a little at the thought of it. "I love you.. and the kids. If I had a say in it I'd happily give up all of this just so we could have a simple life. Something to where we could just be together.. but you know what I can't change that and I'm trying to deal with things here." He paused a little thinking about it before shaking his head a little. "I'll try harder though. You were right earlier when you said I didn't know anything."

[Pinkie]

When Thalion didnt answer right away Mizuki frowned and it only grew more as the male moved and walked past him heading for the bathroom. A couple of moments later he returned before he came and knelt down in front of him. Taking one of his hands Mizuki flinched a little though he didnt pull away. What good would pulling away do at a moment like this? No instead he allowed the male to take his hand as he began speaking before cleaning the blood.

This was when Thalion began to speak on how he knew why he was still there and how the kids and himself were the reason as to why he was. Though as Thalion continued Mizuki hung his head. Yes he knew those answers but his mind was clouded with anger about everything that he lost sight of it all. This was when Thalion stopped speaking as he told Mizuki he was right about everything that he didnt know anything.

Mizuki sighed at that before taking his hand out of Thalions and before the male could protest he had his arms around him bringing Thalion in as he hid his head in the males neck "I am sorry Thalion" He said as his grip tightened "I over reacted...but those words were stuck in my head" He said as he shook his head a little. "I lost it and I could of lost way more then just my temper" He said as he clung onto Thalion.

It was true though if that last hit had landed this moment wouldnt be happening right now. Heck neither of them would be breathing. It was a harsh reality that came crashing to his world "I am so sorry" Mizuki said as he shook a little with his tears "I dont want you to go anywhere" He said as he shook his head in the makes neck "I cant stant the thought of it" He cursed his own words now the more he thought of it as he growled deeply.

This was when he pulled back and looked right into those ember orbs "I love you with more then I have and because of that I act stupid all the time" He said with a shake of his head "I will try harder to..." Mizuki said before he leaned in and with a swift movement he had the male pushed back into the ground as he knelt over him. Though when Thalion began to speak he silenced the male with a rough kiss to the dark lips as he rested bruised and bloodied hands on either side of the males head.

[Rosekitten]

He was expecting the other to be mad still or to punch him to be honest. So when the other drew his hand back he was waiting for it. Though it didn't come. No instead Mizuki seemed to do something else as Thalion flinched at the first movement from the other.

No instead he found Mizuki clung onto him and saying sorry. He blinked a little not knowing what to say as the other went on about being sorry and that he over reacted. Well it was probably a little true. That last spell, Thalion wasn't sure if it was the one he thought it was but if that had hit it would not have been good for either of them.

Though Mizuki seemed to go on for this for a little while before pulling back and looking at him. Saying he would try harder as well. Thalion would have said something but the other seemed to have other plans as the next thing he knew he was on his back on the floor with Mizuki over top of him. The sudden kiss from the other as it was held there for a moment before being broken.

"Heh... seems we both have things we need to work on.." Though he was taking this moment to get another kiss in while the other seemed to let him. "Maybe next time less over reacting... so I don't have to replace my shirts hrm?" He said with a slight smirk knowing they both kind of over reacted to be fair. It was probably mostly his fault too.

[Pinkie]

As Mizuki pulled back he didnt get a chance to say anything as Thalion leaned up and kissed him though as he spoke some more Mizuki couldnt help the response he gave "Why should I...I mean you could walk around naked all day and I wouldnt complain" He said with a growl as he looked down to Thalion. It was true though he would not complain if it came down to it and Thalion didnt have any other clothes to wear.

At this thought though Mizuki smiled as he moved one of his hands from the floor beside Thalions head before moving it and placing it on a bare chest under him "If I had my say..." He said "You wouldnt have a need for clothes" He said before he leaned moved that hand from the chest to Thalions hair. Gabbing a fist full he moved the males head before his lips attached to his neck. Kissing and licking before he bit down with a little growl.

Pulling back he smiled "Then again..." He said lightly "My words only go so far..." Mizuki said with a little growl before he moved back and stood. Looking down to Thalion as the male still laid on the floor he smiled "...its your loss" He said with a shrug of his shoulders before he moved and headed for the bathroom. There he washed his hands with a little hiss before heading back into the main room. The cuts that rested there still bled lightly.

Moving he smiled as he saw Thalion sitting there on the floor where he was left "Did I fluster you that much that you find it hard to move?" Mizuki asked with a tilt of his head and a smile "I mean...I know its been a while..." Mizuki said with a smile before he gave a shrug of his shoulders "...I guess it will be awhile more..." He said before turning towards the bed with a smirk on his lips.

[Rosekitten]

Walk around naked Mizuki said. No he'd rather not, not if he had a say in the matter. Though he knew Mizuki wasn't kidding when the other said he wouldn't mind. He would, even without a shirt he hated it. Though not when his mind was set on something else it seemed. He didn't think about it till just now to be honest.

Though this was when the other continued saying if he had his say in it he would have no need for clothes. Not that Mizuki had a chance to say anything on this as Mizuki seemed to kiss his neck after moving his head to the side. That in combination with the bite made Thalion gasp a little. He half believed that if Mizuki did have a say in it he wasn't lying about what he was saying. Though then work really would never get done.

Though that was when Mizuki seemed to pull back and stand from where he was. Not only that but he even left the room after a few words. After the other left the room he sat up after a moment and just stayed there. Though it was the words that Mizuki spoke as he returned to the room that made Thalion glare a little.

Yes it had been a while... but still he wasn't that flustered. He was about to show Mizuki that as the other seemed to turn his back on him and walk towards the bed. He waited as he got up. Though after a moment he caught up to Mizuki before pushing him down against the bed and holding him there.

"A while longer hrm? After that and you just were going to leave me there." He growled a little before nipping the tip of Mizuki's ear. "You didn't really think I was going to let you get away with that did you?" He knew Mizuki was teasing him but that was a bit cruel to start and leave like that. Let alone to act like he wasn't going to do anything further.

[Pinkie]

After he washed his hands and headed for the bedroom he had a thought in his mind. He was wondering if the male was going to allow him to go to bed or not. Though Mizuki knew that with the teases that he did earlier it was not going to happen. The fact that once he entered the room and saw Thalion sitting there was more then enough to tell him this little game was not over.

So choosing his words as he did so Mizuki smirked as he turned his back to Thalion with a shrug as he headed for the bed. Though once he reached the side of it he couldnt help the gasp that left his lips as he felt his hands being grabbed before himself being bent over. Mizuki then found himself face first into the bed with his hands pressed into his lower back as Thalion leaned over him.

"A while longer hrm? After that and you just were going to leave me there." Mizuki smirked at those words as he turned his head to the side "Maybe..." Was his response. This though was when he felt a sharp nip to the tip of his ear and he gave a little growl as Thalion began to speak close to his ear "You didn't really think I was going to let you get away with that did you?" Thalion said and he smiled at this.

"I dont know..." He said with a smile "Maybe I could of gotten away" Mizuki said with a little growl and he struggled a little against the male holding him. Though as he did his foot slipped out and he groaned as his legs slipped apart more pushing him deeper into the bed below him. "Seems all is against me" He said in a playfull hiss as he moved his hips against Thalion in attempt to get away though he hardly wanted to.

[Rosekitten]

Maybe was the answer. Maybe his foot, Mizuki knew what he was getting himself into from the start or he wouldn't have done anything. Though the other seemed determined to play innocent as he went on saying he could have gotten away with it or might have. Though Mizuki did try to struggle a little not really that hard but enough to make Thalion have to hold him there.

Not that it helped him any as the other's foot seemed to slip and he ended up more against the bed. Mizuki speaking once more made Thalion smirk a little as he held both of Mizuki's wrists in one hand and moved the other between Mizuki's chest and the bed leaving it there for a moment. "You're not acting like you really want to get away..." He started.

Moving the hand from the bare chest and down to the edge of Mizuki's pants before moving the other to press back against him more. "Besides.. I think you like this. As you said it has been a little while." He started before biting the exposed shoulder and going on afterwards. "Just having me close like this, you're excited about it.."

[Pinkie]

As he laid there face first into the bed Mizuki couldnt help the growl that came from his lips as he felt his hands move to being held in one before that now free hand moved between his chest and the bed. Strong dark fingers spread there though he didnt have a moment to say anything as Thalion spoke "You're not acting like you really want to get away..." was it really that easy to tell? Mizuki knew that he could get away if he wanted to but he didnt.

However any words that he was about to say were cut off at the gasp that left his lips as he felt that free hand move down to the hem of his pants before he was pulled back a little into the dark chest behind him. This however was when Thalion used his words against him saying it had been awhile before teeth met his exposed shoulder causing him to growl a little where he half stood.

Though that growl turned into a moan that he couldnt hold back as Thalion spoke again "Just having me close like this, you're excited about it.." Well it was true he was but he had half a mind to tell the male that he was not but another thought came to his mind instead. Mizuki knew that he had lost this little war between them the moment he was forced face first into the bed but this didnt mean he could still play with the male behind him.

Though the thought on what he could do came to mind so he did just that. Arching his back more Mizuki leaned into the chest behind him until he placed his head on the males shoulder. His hands were still held behind his back and do to his footing Mizuki stood arched backwards like a bow "Indeed I am excited to have you so close..." He said in a growl agreeing with the male as he felt that free hand move to his lower stomach.

"Though I must say..." Mizuki began with a little growl "I wouldnt have it any other way..." He said with hiss before he turned his head into the males neck and with no warning latched his teeth onto the dark skin with a smirk to his lips.

That was where everything started and continued. Rough was an understatement for some of the movements the two had though Mizuki wouldnt complain. No it was rare for the couple to be this way but with the events of the day it was to be expected. Either way it started and ended in a fury of movement as the two half stood half laid over the bed breathing heavily. "Well..." Mizuki began as he panted "That...was different" He said with a groan as his arms were finally let go and he could move.

Though he didnt move far as he crawled into the bed and all but collapsed into the sheets and blankets with a sigh "Though...I am most certainly not complaining" Mizuki yawned lightly as he moved and rolled onto his back and looking over he smiled at Thalion as the male moved into the bed along side him. Not giving him a chance to move or argue Mizuki moved and took his place where he usually did laying his head on the males chest before curling into his side with a groan as he moved a now sore back.

[Rosekitten]

Even being rough movements it was needed. The two had stayed so busy that he really didn't remember the last time they spent any time together. Though they had both spoke they were going to work on that. But that could be worried about later as he had something else he'd rather be focused on. That was the male under him he held captive against the bed.

Everything said and done Mizuki spoke looking at him saying that was different, but not complaining. "The number of times you force me into the wall.. I call it even." He said with a bit of a smirk before moving to lay down. He barely got to laying down before Mizuki had claimed the spot he normally did when they laid together.

Things did clear up after that day. Slowly but surely. Both sides did as they said they would and worked on not wasting all their time on work. sure things came up once in a while but that was different. So for now the family seemed to be just that. Granted the fact that it was a odd family but still one none the less.

This continued for a while. Things still were in a time of peace and all seemed well enough. At least a month went by from that day. That wasn't a lot of time but plenty enough for things to go wrong again. Not that anyone was complaining that they had not. Though today was not like any other day. Thalion was getting one of those feelings again like something was going to happen or show up he was not going to like.

A looming feeling of dread. Like something he had felt before but he couldn't place a finger on it. For the time being he was in the training grounds with a few of the newer dragon riders. Just a handful and then the little one of his own. Whatever reason the two him and Mizuki had seemed to grow at a rather slow rate. Slow being all this time and they were barely the size of a large dog.

Though today was different indeed. They were having a visitor apparently. Thalion hardly paid this much mind, it wasn't like it was something new for someone to visit the kingdom or for their allies to send messengers. Though it might be a good thing Thalion was not paying attention at the time. The visitor seemed to want to seek out Mizuki, this didn't seem odd either.

Nothing was out of place, just a report of a older elven who said he knew Mizuki. Probably someone of Mizuki's past who knew. It wasn't like he was worried about it. Mizuki would probably fill him in later if it was important or not.

[Pinkie]

After that night the two did as they said they were going to do and neither one of them stayed away from the other for long. Some times it was true that something did come up but it was a once ina while thing now. It was not until a month later that things seemed to change. Due to the link the two of them shared it was easy to tell the feeling that Thalion had. An uneasy one that matched his own and yet he couldnt put a finger on it.

No something was a miss here. Though that feeling came back to him as a guard came to him "Um Mi'lord?" He heard the question and it caused him to look up to the guard standing there before him. Mizuki sighed before looking down at the papers in his hands once more "Yes what is it?" He asked as he still continued on his work "There is some one here to see you" He said and Mizuki looked up at this "And who would that be?" He asked with a raised brow though the male before him shook his head "He did not say Mi'lord"

At that Mizuki frowned. Who would come all this way to his kingdom and seek him out but not give a name? Shaking his head he stood "And where is said person?" He asked moving out from behind the desk "He is waiting for you in the throne room sir" The male said and Mizuki sighed "Very well..." He said though at this the male stopped "If I may my lord..." He said and Mizuki nodded allowing him the chance to continue speaking "If I may my lord I suggest taking some guards with you" He said.

At that Mizuki looked to him "And why would I need them?" He asked witha tilt of his head and at this the guard before him stuttered a little "Well my lord the male is old in age and by the looks of things is a mage and a powerfull one at that" He said though this caused Mizuki to raise a brow. Some one like that seeking him out? That was interesting in more ways then one.

Heading for the door he looked to the male "Go and seek your king. Tell him I await for him in the throne room with...our new visitor" He said before leaving the study. This was when he gathered some more men to fallow him as he headed for the room. Though something told him that the male in question was indeed one that he knew but one he never thought he would be seeing again.

Mizukis thoughts were all to true as he reached the throne room and entered the hall. Moving in with the guards behind him he moved to the throne before standing before it and looking at the male before him. This was when his eyes widened and it took him a moment to believe what he was seeing "It can not be..." He said lowly to himself but at this the male before him smirked and tilted his head a little "It can be and so it is" He heard.

The male before him stood tall a little over his own height. Short white hair sat messy on top of a head as long pointed ears stuck out from there. Pale skin accented bright green eyes and white and light green robes sat on an older body. Wrinkles aged a pale face as the male stood there "It has been awhile has it not?" The male asked as he stood there and Mizuki didnt know what to do or say "It...it has yes" He said moving down from the throne to stand infront of the male.

"All this time away and I see you have built yourself a nice little home here" He said with a smile and Mizuki nodded his head "Yes indeed.." He said lightly though this caused the smile on the older males face to fade "And I hear that it is not only you that rules but another male..." the male said and Mizuki nodded again "Not only that but you two are...how do I say this" The male thought for a moment "Involved with each other" He said with a smirk.

At that Mizuki frowned. What should that matter to the male before him. Not only that but why would he seek him out after all this time? However he seemed to get his answer as the older man spoke again "And your partner the drow..." He began "Is Thalion Lorulm correct?" At that Mizuki faulted a little "Yes indeed it is" He said with a nod of his head though this caused the male to smile a little "How interesting..." He said with a smirk.

Mizuki didnt know what to say or do. Why was this so interesting to the elder male before him? Though his thoughts ended as the doors behind him opened and he turned finding himself looking to Thalion as the male walked in. "There you are" He said with a smile "Thalion this is Seavain...my master" He said before looking back to the older male before them.

Mizuki seemed to summon him to the throne room where the guest was with the other. Or so that was what the guard that Mizuki had sent off to fetch Thalion. Surely Mizuki didn't need him there. Though maybe it was better to meet this guest that seemed to know Mizuki. Though he would be wishing he had stayed right where he was as soon as he saw who it was.

It took a little bit of time to get there but not too long. Enough time for the two talking to end their conversation. Though as soon as Mizuki spoke the elders name and Thalion saw the mage standing there his ears went back and the link between the two probably told Mizuki plenty that Thalion was not pleased in the least to see this male.

He had his reasons and ones that seemed to be haunting him. This worried him in more then a few ways. They always did say that going against the goddess' will would never end well, let alone that it was impossible to escape fate. Fate seemed to be ready to slap him in the face today as he wasn't sure if he should cover up the fact he knew the man more then he cared to know or just play it off that he was annoyed at the trainees if questioned.

Either way he knew he would have to explain things or try to avoid explaining them to Mizuki as a sudden wave of uneasiness had come upon Thalion as soon as he set eyes on the male. Sure it was a known fact Thalion hated magic but to be that unnerved by just seeing someone meant something deeper then that.

Though for now he was biting his tongue as he as he forced out the words pleasure. Yeah if pleasure meant that he wanted to see this man's still beating heart in his hand. Thats what his plans were for him as a child it seemed like a fair trade. Through it all the older male seemed amused to see Thalion standing there.

Of course he would be. Thalion was suppose to be dead at the age of seven! Yet here he was in his 60's and still very much breathing. Though the male this Seavain, Mizuki's master... he could change that. Maybe that was why he was here. No surely that wasn't it. So why the hell was he here?! Unanswered questions on top of his uneasy nerves at the moment was not helping anything.

This man was the reason his life at such a young age was a living hell! His sole purpose for being born was to try and remove that damned curse and for years he had wished everything under the sun and that lurked in the darkness that this man had died somewhere. Some horrible death that was fitting to someone who would use such rituals that took the blood of those unable to fight.

A number of the older scars he blamed on this man. He had tried to run away countless times and failed each time. Trying to escape the fate he was born into. If he thought he had a chance in hell of winning he might just go and attack the male standing here. Screw talking to him of being in his presence. His father thought so highly of him though. It sickened him to see him standing there with that hint of a smirk on his face.

Mizuki had seen Thalion angry with people before, but they were people he knew or had met before. This seemed to be a stranger yet Thalion was furious. A mix of being furious, fear and being anxious all mixed into one. That was not normal for Thalion. He seemed to be holding his cool as he stood there not really hinting at any of it besides a slight scowl, though that could just be him trying to debate if he trusted the person standing here. Due to the link Mizuki knew there was far more behind that expression then Thalion was letting on.

So much in fact that he caught himself breathing a little to kill the slight spark he felt of his magic going against his will. His emotions getting the better of his magic control at the present time as he stood there. Luckily it wasn't enough to draw any attention unless you were looking for it.

The only good news was that Vaden had walked with Thalion. He had been helping with training the dragons and preventing any ... unneeded damage that the untrained beasts could do. Though Vaden was no fool and knew who the male standing here was. Someone around his own age, they were both from a era long past. A time almost forgotten to the age that was upon the world now.

Vaden knew why Thalion seemed to tense instantly as he squeezed his shoulder to give him a hint to calm down as he walked past him to break this tension and maybe to make Thalion a bit more at ease. Vaden was different from a lot of elder mages. He stayed laid back and didn't seem to resort to using his magic or old rituals unless there was no other way.

"Seavain, it has been too long." The two knew one another and both of them knew better then to get into any fights here. If people thought Mizuki could level this place then these two elder mages going at it would level the country side as well. This was the better option then to let the male stand here and taunt Thalion without breathing a word.

Though to admit things Vaden was curious. Seavain was powerful indeed and had many connections. If he had wanted Mizuki or to see the other he could have found him ages ago... Though he would wait for such information to slip, it always had a way of doing so. Vaden knew back then of the plans for young Thalion, little he could do without going against the Queen's rule. Though that had been some time ago, the ritual had been started all those years ago but never completed. The raid ensured it was never completed.

Either way when Vaden spoke up and stepped forward with a slight bow to the other it seemed to give Thalion a moment to breath correctly. Getting some of his nerve back. Being in here alone even with Mizuki there he knew he stood little chance against anything this bastard wanted to do. Neimi wanted to know why he never celebrated his birthday... because it was coming up soon and he wasn't sure if Seavain showing up was a hint at something or just ill timing of the male before him.
