To be honest he wasn't expecting the other to hug him out in the open like this. Not saying he minded, he could deal with any said trouble makers to ensure their plan stayed on track and was not discovered early. If he was questioned as to why he kept going to see Mizuki he'd pass it off as extra training, seeing as she was the one who wanted this said training in the first place and he had enough knowledge of what he could do to pull off some stunts to make her think there was progression.

Once they were both back inside the room and Mizuki was laying down Thal never got a chance to ask his question as the other spoke up. "Good now you can take it easy for the rest of it... cause at the moment you look like death warmed over." He wasn't being completely serious but it was true enough that Mizuki looked beat at best. Though the real good news was he could kill the little act of his really soon. It was hard enough staying here for a year let alone now having to act like her damned pet.

"Maybe I should leave so you can get some rest, who knows if she'll decide to bother you tomorrow or not." He didn't really want to leave but staying wasn't a option either. Soon he wouldn't have to keep leaving though, that was something to look forward to. Also soon they would both be rid of this damned woman. He had half a mind to question why not kill her instead of sealing her but he figured Mizuki had a reason behind it.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki sighed a little at the comment that he looked like death. Yeah he was sure that he did and he was about to comment when the other said that he was going to leave and let him rest "No....please" Mizuki said slightly reaching out his hand and touching the males leg with it as he moved to sit down on the bed beside him.

"Just...stay a little longer" Mizuki said with an amlost pleading look on his face "Also....I cant rest..." He said sighing "I need to finish that damned thing so we can get out of here" Mizuki said with a little growl "I...have to keep going...no matter how hard it is"

[Rosekitten]

He wanted him to rest, not to stay up longer and not fully regain the energy he needed to do what he had to the next day. Either way he agreed to stay a bit longer, but only a bit he was't about to strain Mizuki with his company. Plus there was nothing really to talk about when he knew the other was working as hard as he could to get them out of this place. Sure they could talk about whatever happened during the day but he doubted Mizuki wanted to hear of such things... Aside from that the only entertainment that might be gotten out of such a conversation was that Thal utterly hated that woman and would rather rip her throat out then to deal with her.

He sighed a little when Mizuki said he couldn't rest. "I know this.. but killing yourself in the process won't solve anything either. Besides its not just you that you have to think about anymore." He had a true enough point, Mizuki was carrying still so pushing himself too far might in turn cause damage to the child as well. "if we have to set things back a little bit thats fine, apparently a unknown talent i have is distraction." At the lest when it came to her.

Moving a little he kissed Mizuki on the lips before getting him to lay back down. "Now rest and stop being stubborn.. You'll have plenty of time to work i'll make sure of it. But for the moment you need to rest." He wasn't leaving just yet but he did think the other needed to relax a little and try to relax. Things were going to go as they planned and then they could try at the said life they wanted before.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki kissed Thalion back as the male kissed him. It was a nice moment how ever breif it was. "Just....dont do anything to get to much attention" Mizuki said slightly knowing how the males temper could get the best of him at times. "Either way thats good...I need all the time I can get" He said "I have five more stages to the ring to go" Mizuki said with a little sigh.

"Either way...its late" Mizuki said with a little frown on his lips "I know you should be...running back to her" The last bit of of his sentance with a little frustrated growl. Even though Mizuki knew it was part of the plan he didnt like it and the thought that something happened for him to get the scale angered Mizuki deeply.

[Rosekitten]

He shook his head a little. "Haven't been trying to in the first place... as far as she knows we're still training." He never mentioned he was performing a decent array of spells just to ensure that she thought they were doing just that during the visits. Every once in a while he could let it slip saying he was still working on whatever technique. It was a rather good cover up and it kept her from draining Mizuki by forcing him to do pointless spells and displays.

When Mizuki spoke again Thal shook his head a little. "You worry too much, do you really think I sleep with her?" He laughed weakly at the thought. "I go back to my own room when it gets that late, I don't I'd trust her to sleep in the same room as her if my life depended on it." It was true enough, there was a number of times that Raden had ended up saving him or some other form of disruption when it came to her trying to get a repeat of what had happened.

"So get some sleep and stop growling at whatever thoughts your having." He knew what bothered the other, and personally if he could have pulled that off any other way he would have. But they were pressed for time and there was no real choice in the situation. But that hardly meant it had to be done a second time that was certain.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki sighed at that comment though he knew the male was right. Kissing Thalions once more he sent the male on his way, it was late and he needed rest if they were to get out of here any time soon.

Thats how the next couple days past. Mizuki locked himself in his room with his magic and items as Thalion made sure to keep the witch distracted so he had time to do what he needed. Now it was the last day and Mizuki sat there on the ground looking at the newly made magic ring in his hands.

It was the same color and density that the one around his neck was. It looked identical in everyway. The only thing that would give away the fact that it was not the real thing was if SHE tried to use a powerfull spell through Mizuki and he rejected it. That though wouldnt happen until Mizuki had the chance to seal her. If everything went as planned that would happen tomorrow.

Mizukis heart jumped at that thought. Finaly they would be able to leave this foresaken place and continue on as everything was ment to be...with one minor exception Mizuki thought placing a hand on his stomach with a smile to himself, but that was an exception he could handle.

Mizuki shook his head a little as his thoughts took him away from the next step at hand, removing and replacing the ring on his neck. Lifting his hands up he held the newly made ring in one hand while the one that was still on his neck he held in the other. Closing his eyes Mizuki began his last chant for the day.

It took him awhile to get to the point where he began to exchange thr rings and it took some effort to force one in the place of the other. Three hours it took but by the time he was done he sat there looking down at her ring that rested in the palm of his hand. Right there Mizuki wanted nothing more then to destroy it but he knew if he did she would feel the power transpher and all that hard work would of been for not.

So instead Mizuki placed it within the hole in the wall and sealed it just like he had done every night for the past week. Moving slowly with a grunt he made it up and onto the bed sitting up in the corner he sighed slightly expecting Thalion any time.

[Rosekitten]

The next few days crept by, though that hardly meant they were uneventful. Oh no, the damned woman had Thalion doing whatever tasks she could thinking he was wrapped around her finger. He might have played the part of a pet well enough but all the while his thoughts remained the same. He wanted nothing more then to shove a blade through her back. Sadly he couldn't risk any of the chances he was allowed.

He knew the other would soon be finished with the ring that he was trying to craft and that everything would fall into place. He just hoped it was before the woman ended up figuring out that Thalion was never going to give her what she wanted. She was being more and more persistent with each passing day and it was getting to the point where she was becoming rather hard to avoid. He was counting down how much time he had left before she forced him to give her what she was after...

He shuddered at the thought of it. He'd rather die the most painful death he could think of then to go through that again. He never wanted it in the first place, but without that little show he had put on then they wouldn't be as far as they were. So close to the said freedom they quested. Yet there was still a number of things that could go wrong. That fact alone made him worry.

Making his way towards Mizuki's room for the said 'training' that they were doing every evening he figured he'd find the other worn down again or resting. He had been pushing himself during the past few days to try and get everything finished and together. Even though Thalion kept trying to tell him to not push himself so much and that if he needed a few more days then he could figure out a way to buy the time.

He waited a moment after knocking on the door getting the same response he always did from a agitated Mizuki.Probably always thinking a guard or someone else was coming there to disrupt him. Once in the room Thal shook his head a little before walking over to where Mizuki was to make sure he was just resting at the moment and wasn't hiding his condition like he did at times. "You know, you could answer at least once with something nicer then that snap I always get."

[Pinkie]

Mizuki smiled when he saw who entered his room but then it turned to a frown as the other made his comment "Its the response any and all will get until I leave this place" He said with a little sigh before sitting up more and looking to Thalion. Thinking now was the best time for a topic change Mizuki raised his hand and touched the ring on his neck "What do you think of the finished project?" Mizuki asked smiling.

"The day has come that we have both waited for" He said sitting up more with his almost excited state "Tomorrow we seal her" Mizuki said with a nod of her head "I am going to tell the queen that all your 'training' has payed off and we have a little display to show her of your new found abilities" Mizuki said with a little nod of his head.

"That way she will be convinced it just a show so you would have to deal with 4-6 guards while I take care of her" Mizuki said with a nod of his head "That and we need a little bit of time so the door will need watched..." This is where Mizuki looked to Thalion "Should we get Neimi and Raden to cover the door from the outside?" He asked with a little tilt of his head.

Mizuki really didnt want to bring the other two into the last fight persay but after the sealed item grabbed it would be easier for all to leave at once. Not only that but Thalion would need help, Mizukis energy would be completely drained after the spell "Its something to decide now" He said lightly "This way we all have a better chance of getting out alive"

[Rosekitten]

He shrugged a little at Mizuki who gave him the reply he was expecting. "Yeah well, who else really bothers you at this hour?" He had a point she never called for him around this time. Why would she, normally she was sealed away in her champers till the next day. Though he left his comment at that, he wasn't really trying to pick a fight with the other. It was more of the slight bit of entertainment he had gotten out of today.

"Thats the finished one?" He couldn't have told you the difference, then again he wasn't sure if that was enough to fool her or not. Though if she didn't already know then she probably wouldn't until it was too late. "Looks good to me, I wouldn't have guessed you even finished the other one..." He shrugged a little, it was true enough.

"Tsk.. only 4-6? I deal with that many on a daily basis." There were enough small fights to keep his time from being his own during the day, then with whatever tasks she sent him on. "Don't give me that look, I'll make it convincing enough, you'll be able to do what you need to do without worrying about anyone but her." He wasn't meaning to really sound over confident but they couldn't afford to lose...

"As far as the door... I'll find Raden tonight. He can tell Neimi. If anything they'll have to deal with a few guards till we finish. But I don't trust the door being unguarded." That was just asking for a ambush then. Knowing how things probably wouldn't go as smoothly as they could... Yeah they were better off getting those two to watch their backs.

"Besides, you were talking about the plan before like you'd have no energy. If anything its better to have Raden and Neimi there to help. I'm not sure how her guards will react to her being sealed..." He crossed his arms thinking about it. "damn mindless pawns..." He hissed out the words, it was sickening that half of his kind was this way. "Either way ... I think thats as good as the plan is going to get."

[Pinkie]

Mizuki listened and nodded his head when Thalion spoke bringing up good points "Yes...that was my thinking" Mizuki said with a nod of his head "Plus this way we have a better chance of all getting out in one peice" He said "Well...as close as one piece as we can get" He said with a little nod of his head.

This is where Mizuki moved and leaned over the side of the bed mindfull of his stomach to the little hole in the wall. Taking out the old ring he sat back up and looked to Thalion "Also I thought nothing better to seal her in then her own forsaken ring" He said holding the ring in his hands.

[Rosekitten]

"Only close?" He had to laugh a little. "I dunno about you but I plan to keep all of my limbs thanks." Well that was his plan, he saw no point in trying to really be completely serious about something that they had no way of avoiding in the first place. "We'll get out just fine, the guards are going to be lost without any orders, at the least most of them will be." That was true enough, at the moment most of them would jump off of a cliff if told to.

When Mizuki pulled out the other ring and spoke of it Thal smirked a little at the other's words. "So long as she can't get out of it... I don't care if you seal her into a rock, so long as she can't get out of it." Dealing with her for a little over a year, yeah he had his fair share of dealing with her and the past few days were tiring at best.

"Now... with some luck everything goes flawlessly." Luck was something they both probably could tell they did not have by this time, sure they kept finding one another and there were some good things in their lives but still.. it was surrounded by misfortune.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki almost snorted at that "You know luck and us dont mix" He said leaning back a little on the bed with a sigh. "I have already talked with the gaurd. Hes letting her know that tomorrow WE have a little showing for her to witness your powers" Mizuki said with a nod of his head "So show something small but something she hasent seen before just to grab her attention" Mizuki said.

"I need you to keep her eyes on you for a little while as I begin my incantation" He said "I will lock the doors as soon as we enter and quickly so we are not noticed" Mizuki said with a little nod of his head "After thats done...take the gaurds down because once she feels the magical pull.." Mizuki began "There is no going back"

Mizuki gave a little shudder at that. So many times had they been close to death. So many times have they seen the one that they love in pain. It was time the gods smiled on them. Well this was what Mizuki was hoping for at least. "Just think..." Mizuki said with a dazed off look "Tomorrow maybe our last day together..." He said his sentence trailing off to mumbles.

[Rosekitten]

He shrugged a little listening to Mizuki. "Eh we're due for a bit of good luck sooner or later. Then again I had better luck back when I was a piety bandit then when I joined with the resistance" That was true enough, the life he normally never spoke of was one he had fond memories of, Neimi knew a small portion of that life, but it was better for her that they didn't stay there.

"Yeah yeah .. be flashy got it... ugh what a waste." Known fact he disliked being flashy by any means, even in fighting he didn't go to the point of trying to show off. sure he could and get away with it but that would require him to waste energy on the style and moves that didn't need improvements. "Good thing I have a number of those techniques.." He spoke once more still being displeased with the thought he had to entertain her even for a brief second.

"Guards will be no problem, her attention is another story. But I think I have a few things I can pull off." One was only if the other smaller 'tricks' didn't work. He would rather the smaller spells work for the job seeing as the last resort was draining at best. Though this complaint fell short as Mizuki seemed to think on something and speak once more, it was something Thal had been trying to ignore in the back of his mind.

"Tsk as if, like hell did I go through all of this just to let her kill us now. If things get looking that bad I have a back up plan to buy you further time, I just don't promise what will happen." He shrugged a little acting like it was no big deal before he moved to sit next to where Mizuki was. "So stop that last days crap, we've been through worse and you know it. Besides if I don't die your not allowed to." He smirked a bit noticing the look he got from Mizuki at that comment. "and I don't have any plans of dying to this she-witch"

[Pinkie]

Mizuki laughed a little at the comment of the she witch. Its true though Mizuki knew that they both saw her in such a light. Then again how could some one not when the happiest moments of their life was ripped from a clenched hand without mercy. Mizuki after this thought gave a sigh "Either way..." He began before moving a little and kissing Thalions cheek "We should call it a night...the she witch needs her show tomorrow after all"

After he spoke Mizuki moved away and leaned back into the small pillows that were on his bed placing pale white hands over a slightly bulged stomach. "Maybe one day..." He began "We can be happy again" He said with a tint of sadness as he tilted his head off to the side his eyes lowering a little at the thought of what tomorrow was to bring.

[Rosekitten]

He nodded a little knowing the other was right. "I suppose.. she'll get her show either way." He half wanted to complain at the thought of entertaining her and being flashy about it. Such a waste of time and energy, but it needed to be done no matter how he was against it. Just one time, after that maybe he could finally avoid using the damned magic he seemed to be cursed with. Though something told him Mizuki wasn't going to let that happen if they lived through tomorrow.

He glared a little at Mizuki listening to him say maybe one day. "One day is right, after tomorrow we can go back." He moved from the bed before folding his arms and speaking once more. "Like hell I'm staying here after being forced to be here for the past few years." He knew that there was a number of things that could go wrong, but he refused to think about that. No matter what he wasn't going to let that witch live after tomorrow...

Leaning forward he lightly moved Mizuki's head to face him before kissing the other. "Stop thinking that it's the end of the world. We'll pull through this." With that being said he reluctantly took his leave of Mizuki's room. He had the same thoughts as Mizuki but... he refused to accept the fact they could fail.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki all but ignored the words that came from Thalions mouth. After all everything to this point has been out to get them so what would make him think that tomorrow would go off with out something going wrong? He sighed as the other male left, it was simply wishfull thinking. With that thought Mizuki laid his head down and fell into a light sleep.

The next day he was up early. Mizuki already had everything that he needed. Putting the dark cloak on his shoulders just so he could hide the extent of his body Mizuki grabbed his staff and headed out of the small room.

From there he walked silently down the hallway to the grand hall show room where the she witch had told them to go for this little 'show' they had for her. Mizuki smiled at that thought, yes it was a little show one that he knew he would like but the she witch liking it was a different matter. Unless it has been her soul purpose in life to get sealed in a ring by a mage who had enough of your bullshit. If that were the case then she had lived a great life.

Mizuki smiled to himself as he thought of these things, but his slight smile died off as he got to the large doors where two guards stood watching the door before him. Mizuki stood in silence. He learned a long time ago that in this place he didnt speak unless spoken to.
