Even as Thalion asked multiple times if he wanted to stop Mizuki told him no. Yes it was slow and it took time heck he even flinched here and there but it soon died as time went on. He was glad that Thalion took the time that was needed. The last thing that needed to happen was for him to feel rushed. In the end though as he laid there curled into Thalions arms with his head rested on the males chest he was glad that things went the way they did.

Moving his head a little he placed a light kiss on the dark chest as he curled into the warmth of Thalion. "...thank you..." He said softly after a moment before his breathing evened and sleep came to him swiftly. Curled up into Thalion being content and relaxed Mizuki felt the safest he had in a long time.

After that night the time moved on and Mizuki waited to see if things had worked out. In the end even if he stayed the way he was he was starting to think that it wouldnt be the end of the world. He had the love of the man he married all those years ago and nothing changed. He was so greatfull for that in many ways. The fallowing days after were hell on his mind though. Not that he regretted the actions. No it was the fact of the wait to see what would happen.

It was not until a few weeks almost a month down the road did everything come to light. This happened with waking one morning and not only seeing but feeling the firm bump that seemed to grow over night in the small flat stomach. He could remember that day when he told Thalion and showed him the fruits of everything. That day was a good day as he feared that Thalion would shun away again. Instead the male was so happy Mizuki almost cried.

From then it moved on and word about the new heir reached the kingdom. Over the time the shape that Mizuki was in got to the kingdom this being the spell that changed his gender and what it took to get rid of it. Many viewed it as a blessing others thought it strange though nothing bad seemed to come from it and Mizuki was glad for that fact. No instead he had others being kind and helping him when things were needed to be done.

Now almost the full term was over as four months and a week passed. In that time Mizuki had grown and his stomach as well. Now with being so close to the birthing time Mizuki found it hard to get some time alone. Even now as it was he was in the study with Nytria and Belquiri going over some studies. Mizuki was currently sitting there with a hand on his stomach as it lightly rubbed as he listened to Nytria read from the tomb infront of him.

However that light rub stopped a moment as a pain ripped through the side of his stomach. The soft expression on Mizukis face changed a little to a sterner one. That was a weird pain Mizuki thought though he left it be until another one ripped though again though this one caused him to groan a little. Right away Belquiris head turned to him "Papa...are you okay?" She asked a little and Mizuki smiled "Yes im fine dear" He said "Just a little pain in my-" Though his words stopped as the pain returned and he gasped a little.

Right then Belquiri stood and moved to his side. Taking her hand she cast a spell and asking where it was hurting she moved her hand over it and cringed as another pain shot through Mizuki though as it did she felt the stomach tighten "Papa...the babies coming" She said and Mizuki looked at her "No...the little one is not supposed to come for another week and a half" He said with a shake of his head "Try explaining that to our sibling" She said with a smile.

Mizuki was about to say something but the next pain that ripped though him made him curl up a little as he gasped. That was when in swift movements Belquiri was at the door ordering the guards to come help their king to the medical ward. "Nytria..." Mizuki said in a pant as he was helped to stand by the guards "Go...get Thalion" He said in a pant as he hunched over a little breathing heavy. At this Nytria looked up "Where is he?" He asked and it took Mizuki a moment to think "Training grounds...with...auntie Ryza" He said as he began the walk to the medical ward with the helps of the guards.

Watching Nytria nod his head and all but run down the hall he smiled though that smile died as another pain shot through his stomach causing him to groan "Papa you need to breath" Belquiri sad as she stood behind him with her hands on his sides helping Mizuki stay upright and walking "Easier...said then...done" He said in a pant before he groaned. Okay he really didnt want to be walking right now.

Any fears Thalion had died after a while. The next day in fact when Mizuki still seemed ok with everything that had happened. Actually after that night things seem to get better. Not back to how they were of course but they did improve. Mizuki finally relaxing a bit more and the random times where he would remember what had happened to him seemed to decrease. They still happened but not nearly as often.

Though they were both worried that something had gone wrong or that it had failed. They didn't need to voice the concern for it to be known. Though after a little while things finally seemed to take as Mizuki excitedly found Thalion just so he could show that after everything this was the results. Mizuki was worried or seemed to have a hint of worry when he first sought out the other. Though in a odd way Thalion was as excited as Mizuki was.

This meant that Mizuki might be able to return to how he was. Not only that but the fact that it worked. Though that excitement would die down over time as he started to worry about everything that could go wrong. He remembered when Neimi was expecting and the closer the due date came the more he had worried. Though everything had went find with that delivery, no complications or anything. So that's all he could hope for here.

Word did spread after a while of the kingdom getting a third heir. Though the next story that followed that was what had happened or rather what spell was on the king to make this possible. There was a few small issues to deal with once the news was out but nothing that got as far as getting to Mizuki's ears. Plus they were small issues or conflicts that were taken care of nearly as soon as they appeared. Mostly being about how it was not natural and all that. Well neither were their other two children and how they got them.

Though after things settled again things went as smoothly as you could want them. It was to the point where Mizuki was only a few weeks from when the baby should be due. Everyone had been helping whenever possible. Normally Thalion was with Mizuki whenever it was possible. Especially when the date got closer. Though there was still other things to do so it wasn't always possible. Besides that Mizuki did need some space after all. Not that most of the time he got that said space.

For now he was working with Ryza on something. It was a new idea he had for training others but they needed to work on it to see if it would actually work better then what formation and everything they already used. Though Nytria found his way to the grounds as Ryza paused seeing the company they seemed to have before pointing it out.

This was when Nytria panted a little as he took a second to get some breath back. "It's Papa" He said before breathing again. "Belquiri thinks the baby is coming." Well that was sudden, they were suppose to be expecting this in a few more weeks. Either way even being born a few weeks early things should be fine by this time. Rather he hoped.. everything else up until now had gone well.

Though that thought that things were going to be fine died as soon as he got there as Neimi seemed worried as well as Bequiri. That was when it was confirmed that the baby wasn't going to wait another few weeks. Though there seemed to be more news with that. Mizuki seemed to be in far more pain then he should be in and that was worrying the medics as well as the healers.

None the less the baby wasn't born yet and the worse news wasn't even know just yet either. The water had broken a little before Thalion had gotten there and Mizuki was doing the best he could with everything. Though he did seem a little relieved once Thalion was there. Not that there was anything he could do to really help.

No the worse news was that apparently the baby wasn't even in the right direction. Whatever reason the baby had turned around and that was what was causing a lot of the extra pain. This news seemed to upset Mizuki as Thalion tried to keep the other calm so he could focus on breathing as he was being told to do.

It felt like forever, it lasted for hours though. It wasn't even a overly long labor to compare it to others. Though seeing Mizuki like this with nothing that he could do made it seem like a eternity. Plus there was worry about the child being the wrong way. Though once the process actually had started everything had been quick.

The only thing that relieved both of them was the sudden sound of a cry. Though Mizuki still wasn't out of the water just because of that. No there was something wrong and Thalion knew it before the medics said anything. He was bleeding still and the link was fading almost rapidly. This was what ended him up in another room with Neimi and the small child who was fast asleep at the moment.

Neimi frowned though she flinched a little as Belquiri and Nytria came into the room. They didn't have any news and Thalion had been almost dead silent with the link being all but gone. That worried him more then everything. The child's name was Amonar, it was decided some months ago depending on the gender of the child what they were going to name it. Though this was a little male, everything was perfect and healthy about the child it seemed. Similar skin color to Nytria, the eyes seemed to be the same color as the other two children as well. The hair was nearly all white with just the tips being a soft shade of red that blended with the white.

"It'll be ok. He'll pull through like always." Neimi started before a a young child came into the room and clung to her leg. "Maybe.. " Thalion started as he shook his head a little. The link wasn't there and there was nothing that told him this was going to be ok. If Mizuki didn't pull through what was he going to do? It wasn't like they had to have this child things were fine with Mizuki being the way he was.

No that wasn't a way to think. Mizuki had been so excited about all of this. In a odd way really they both had been. Mizuki had to make it. He wouldn't give up now after everything. Never the less it had been a long day and Thalion was worn out emotionally from everything. Belquiri and Nytria said they had anything covered that might come up for the night or the next day. Till things were found out about Mizuki. The two were happy to help or rather jumped at the chance to.

Now it was a waiting game to see what news would come of all of this. Just let it be good news. Out of all of this surely Mizuki didn't have any more debt to pay from everything.

Mizuki knew that the moment the birthing began that something was wrong. He had helped many a time with a female giving birth and the fact that the pain in his stomach was so great told him that something was wrong. It was not until Thalion got there and the medics explained that the child was the wrong way did things settle in. There was nothing that could be done besides getting the babie out as soon as possible. At least this was the thinking.

Mizuki had stayed in labor for some hours until the little cry reached pointed ears. As soon as that happened his body all but gave out as he laid there. Mizuki slightly remembered the medics giving Thalion the child in a blanket before sending the male out the door. That and the fact that the medics still seemed to work on him was the last thing that came to his mind before darkness claimed what was left of the tired female Mizuki.

After that though the rest of the day went on with out a word. It was now into the next day and still the medics had no word for Thalion. They feared that after everything that had taken place Mizuki would end up fading away from the family and kingdom he loved so much. Mizuki himself thought that in the end. It was not until he gave a little groan and rubbed his head with a shaky hand that everything came to him.

This was when a sudden wash of emotions fell over him. Anger, sadness but there was also happieness there. This told him that they were not his emotions but that of Thalion. Slowly lavender eyes opened and Mizuki began to focus on the roof above his head. Slowly he noticed that he was still in the same room from the day before. Moving his head lightly Mizuki looked around the room though this was when he noticed that there was no one but himself in the room.

Frowning he closed his eyes. Mizuki wanted to see what had become of the life that rested inside of him for the time. Though with that thought came another.... had the cure really worked? Moving shaky tired arms he placed them on his once again flat stomach. Closing his eyes he moved those hands upward over the flat stomach to that of an equally flat chest. The smile that grew on his lips from there was large though not as big as he reached and found another thing he had missed in the time.

Laying there Mizuki gave a little laugh to himself. After everything that he had been through he was finally himself. Though with that thought came the thought of everything else. How was the babie? Was it healthy? Not only that but what was the gender of his new child? Groaning a little Mizuki hissed as he pushed up on weak pale arms and moved himself to half sit half lay on the bed before he gave up. The only thought he had in his head was how much he wanted to see Thalion.

By the time it was late in the next day and the medics had seen no sign of Mizuki waking up was about the time Thalion was getting more then annoyed. They had left him in the dark on everything up until now as he had one of the head medics pretty much demanding some information if they expected him to stay out of the room.

Though this was a short lived conversation as the medic stumbled over words probably a combination of Thalion expressing he had power and he could get his answers and the fact that the male had a reputation for his temper. Not that either mattered as Thalion seemed to stop whatever he was saying altogether as he stood there a moment. There were a few added emotions into the mix of his own. That meant... things were ok right? The energy was weak but aside from there there wasn't that much pain connected to it. Nothing like what it was before.

"Tsk... and at the moment I know more then you do." He warned the male before him who started to tell him to not go into the room where Mizuki was. Though it was ignored as Thalion did in fact know more then these medics did at the present time. Not that they had to know that at the moment. He had barely stepped into the room when the one medic he had corned from before finally spoke up that Mizuki needed to rest and everything and that he still wasn't well or awake.

This was when Thalion grabbed the poor sob by the collar of his shirt and held him there with a little Amonar fast asleep in the other. "How about instead of bothering me you do your job... something to help with pain would be a good start and I'd go get it before you need to use it yourself." He growled at the medic before releasing him finally and shutting the door.

"I swear the lot of them are idiots.." He said breathing out only to look over at the bed to see Mizuki half sitting up though he looked weak. Let alone it was the form he remembered. Though this made him smile even if it was a weak one from the lack of sleep he had from worrying that something had gone wrong.

Walking over to the bed he moved the pillow before laying the baby in Mizuki's lap on top of it and using his arm to keep Mizuki sitting where he was so he didn't have to keep straining himself to hold his weight up. "Heh... you gave us a bit of a scare for a while love.."

Mizuki was about to attempt to get out of the bed and find Thalion when the door opened. Turning his head towards the door slightly off to the side Mizuki listened as he heard a pissed off voice of Thalion growling deep at some one. Though guessing from the words the male was growling at a medic. Oh yes that was the Thalion that he knew. It was not until the male entered the room and closed the door did he see the little bundle in the males arms.

Right there Mizukis heart swelled a little as he looked at the two before him. Silently Mizuki watched as Thalion moved over to the bed and moving the pillow from behind his back it was placed in his lap as Thalion joined him on the bed after placing the baby there infront of him and an arm behind week shoulders to keep him upright. Closing his eyes for a moment as Thalion spoke he lightly leaned into the male "Im sorry..." He said in a tired voice.

This however died as he felt the movement in his lap. Opening his eyes he turned and looked down to the newly waking newborn in his lap. White hair fell and framed a pale face with red tipped ends. Maroon eyes matched that of the other two and Mizuki was glad for that. Reaching slightly shaky hands forward Mizuki moved the little child before he moved away the blankets to find out the gender. When he did he couldnt help the smile that came to him.

"Is he healthy?" Mizuki asked as he moved a now once again larger hand over the pale forum of the newly waking baby in his lap. Though as Thalion answered that there was nothing wrong with the young male Mizuki smiled more "Good..." He said lightly. Bending over a little his light lavender eyes met those maroon ones for the first time and neither himself of the baby moved or fussed "Welcome to the world young Amonar" He said to the child.

At the mention of the name young small legs kicked out a little and the tiny babie wiggled a little. Mizuki smiled softly at this as his eyes closed half way. He couldnt think of a better end to everything that had happened. He was back to the way he was, the baby was healthy and nothing in the world seemed to be wrong to him at the moment. Turning his head Mizuki looked into those ember orbs beside him "Hes...perfect" He said before looking back down and as he did he moved a little and placed his head on the males shoulder. For once he had the feeling that everything was goingb to be okay.

Everything was perfect. Well now anyway, Mizuki was back to how he was suppose to be the baby was healthy and nothing seemed to be wrong in the world. For once in a long time things seemed to be looking up. Though they both knew that would only last for so long, but until something happened there was no point in jinxing themselves.

A few months had passed and Mizuki was finally cleared from any worries the medics had. Even with being male again they were worried there might still be strained effects on his body but he seemed to be fine so they couldn't really force him to not do anything anymore.

The baby was still healthy as could be and seemed to try to pay attention to everything possible when it was awake. Though it seemed that this one was going to take quite a bit of time to age unlike Belquiri and Nytria. The term he was carried in might have been short but they were going to have a infant on their hands for a while.

Thalion and Mizuki both were lucky that Nytria and Belquiri were old enough to handle taking over things at times. With a young baby like this they stayed busy. As well as trying to keep up with anything else. Though they were getting help and it was much needed help.

Thalion finally handed off the little one to Belquiri who seemed to baby it almost as much as Mizuki did. Though she sighed a little as Thalion said he'd be back in a bit. "don't you get bored doing that everyday?" she said as Thalion glanced at her questioning it. "Not really." Maybe it had brought out a side that he didn't actually want to admit having but in a way it kept his temper down having a means to vent it.

Belquiri shook her head a little not understanding it. She knew why Thalion was determined to make the fae's life a living hell but she thought they should just kill him and be done with it. Not that she could convince Thalion of this. He said the bastard deserved everything he got and then some.

Mizuki had done everything in his power to stay with the new born though times did come where he was needed elsewhere. During those times he was glad that Belquiri was more then happy to take her younger brother. It had saved Mizuki and Thalion more times then he cared to admit. Even as time moved on and things went to how they should there were thoughts in the back of Mizukis mind. Thoughts about the king and the fact that he was still alive.

Mizuki had asked Thalion many times why the male was still alive though the only answer he got most of the time was that he was being punished and it was left at that. Mizuki wanted nothing more then to repay the male for everything that he had gone through but the thought of how long he was under Thalions care made him think the suffering was almost done. It was time for the final blow and that was his thinking as he stood there in the room with Thalion, Belquiri and the baby.

He was currently going over some things that were needed for the next day. He did however look up as as Thalion began to speak to Belquiri before passing Amonar to her. This was when he heard the question come from her if the male ever got bored of what took place. Though at Thalions response he sighed a little. Mizuki knew that Thalion had a dark side him and one that sometimes he was afraid of seeing. This time however Mizuki only had one thought.

Watching the male leave he fallowed though as Belquiri looked to him all Mizuki said was "Its time to end this..." As he left the room after the male. This was when he stopped as Thalion heard him behind him. Turning the male looked to him and Mizuki frowned a little "Take me with you" He said to the male though at Thalions look he frowned some more "As long as he is alive I have the constant reminder of what happened" He said with a sad smile.

At this Thalion turned fully towards him "I..." Mizuki began though paused "I want you to show me...teach me" He said to him "About everything there is to know" Mizuki said to him "I just have one thing I want from this" Mizuki said with a nod of his head "I...want to kill him" Mizuki growled as his fists clenched a little "I want...you to help me Thalion" He said "Help me finally put all of this behind me" Mizuki hissed a little "Help me kill him..."

He never had a good answer for Mizuki when the other asked why the fallen king was alive. Only that he was being punished. Though that punishment and whatever else the male had done over the years had certainly been paid in full. Probably some time ago with how Thalion worked. Over the course of the past nine or ten years he had enough to that one male that it was almost a shock that the captive fae wasn't insane from the almost constant state of pain he stayed in.

Though today seemed it would be different as Thalion heard footsteps behind him as he stopped to see who it was. Though as it was Mizuki and with a odd request he gave him a bit of a questioning look. He never bothered to ask Mizuki to come with him during the times he did this. Figuring it was better for Mizuki to not see the bastard who had caused their family to nearly be torn apart.

Though Mizuki gave his reason of why he wanted to come along and Thalion couldn't really deny the other of that. It probably was true that so long as he drew breath then Mizuki would always be reminded of what happened. But the next words were what shocked Thalion a little. Wood elves could be cruel yes but they were not known for wanting to torture their victims. Though he stood there for a moment till Mizuki was finished with what he had to say as he weighed over what he thought of all of this.

Though after a moment he took a step forward towards Mizuki before handing him a small pouch that had a small crystal in it, inside of the crystal was a streak of red, blood that was used to bind the poor bastards soul to this world. "You'll need that if you want to kill him." He said with a bit of a smirk. "We'll just say I wanted to make sure he didn't die without my say so." He as sure Mizuki knew what the crystal was.

Either way he started to go back towards the room the fae was being held in and waited at the door asking if he was sure he wanted to go through with this. Mizuki answered yes as Thalion unsealed the door and walked in with the other behind him. Though the fae that was bound to a wall glanced up seeing Thalion though he also noticed Mizuki with him as his expression changed a little.

The fae was a sight to be seen for sure, wounds littered his body, marks and blood. He was hardly the same figure that had captured and did all of those things to Mizuki those years ago. "Hrm.. not in a chatty mood today? Shame.." Thalion said with a shrug not really caring to be honest. "I'm sure you'll beg before this is all said and done." Dark side indeed. They were lucky that Thalion didn't express this side to anyone, his short temper was about the worse anyone ever saw of whatever dark secrets he kept to himself.

Never the less Mizuki wanted to learn, so be it. Pointing out every vital spot on the body and to get a maximum effect you made sure to miss them. The idea was to keep the captive alive as long as possible while inflicting enough pain to get any information you wanted. Though he hardly stopped with that.

Also pointing out there were potions that healed while this was going on and the more pain that was inflicted the better they healed so the process could continue. Plus other potions to heighten senses and cause the pain to double depending on the dose given. Not to mention on how to properly make wounds so they did not bleed out too quickly.

Yes it was very apparent of what he had spent his time on for the past ten years when he had free moments. there was a point even Ryza had to admit she felt sorry for the bastard seeing as he couldn't die no matter how he wanted to. Plus for him to die that crystal had to be destroyed and that in turn would destroy his soul as well. He was not taking a chance on someone bringing him back from the dead.

Mizuki nodded his head as he looked down to the stone in his hands though as the male spoke he smiled. The only reason the male was alive to this day was the fact that Thalion didnt think the bastard deserved death. In a way Mizuki was happy for this so he could finish the male that had caused him so much pain. So this was when he was led from that hall to the room where the male was kept. As Thalion asked if he wanted to continue he could do nothing but nod his head and say yes.

As they reached the room and entered Muizuki paused a moment as he looked the male before him over. There were scars all over the body though those matched the new marks that seemed to bleed lightly as the male breathed. Mizuki stood there as Thalion seemed to talk and taunt the male. Though he didnt get much time to think about anything really as Thalion began to explain everything that he needed to know about torturing the male before him.

As Mizuki began it didnt take long before found himself slicing into the male. It took some time before the male before him began to scream though as he did Mizuki didnt think it was enough. Getting Thalions help Mizuki continued with the males instructions. It came to the point that a dark hand guided his in the process of each slice and stab of the small blade Mizuki had. This caused the splatters of blood to not only fall and drip on the floor but it ended up splattering and covering the two as they cut together.

It was not until the male on the wall breathed deeply and hung there bleeding from every spot he had that Mizuki thought it was enough. Standing there before the king panting slightly still with Thalion holding his one blood covered hand Mizuki spoke "You tried so hard..." He began "To break everything that I was and everything that I would ever be" Mizuki said in a growl "Though in the end...I have to Thank you for what you did" He said in a hiss.

At this he felt Thalions hand on his tighten a little as the male behind him stiffened as well. "In the end..." Mizuki said as he took the the crystal in his hand "You made me grow...and become stronger then I ever thought possible" Mizuki said with a glare as the king lifted his head "I was afraid that I would never escape your hands...yet here you are in mine" He said lightly with a tilt of his head "Death is to good for you...." Mizukis growled.

This was when the male before him groaned as he hung his head "You should be put through this and more for the rest of time" He said as he looked down at the crystal that he held in his hands "Yet..." At this he turned at looked at Thalion "In order for me to heal completely..." Mizuki sighed as he took Thalions hand in his own "You need to die..." He said looking to the king before dropping the stone to the ground. With a swift lift and drop of his foot it was over.

Mizuki heard and felt the crystal under his foot break. With that a sudden pain rakes through the male before him and Mizuki watched as those eyes widened before a sickening scream left the kings lips. It was a scream that told of all his pain and anger over the years before the scream died and they body went limp as the last breath the king would ever take fell from dry cracked and bloody lips.

Mizuki caught on to most things quick, it was almost refreshing as he thought he was going to have to explain things a few times for the other. He let Mizuki go at it for a little while before noticing a few things that the other was doing wrong. This was when he finally stepped in with helping.

Only to guide though the actions were still Mizuki's. Though this was why he was a good instructor in anything he taught, he had a way of explaining and showing if needed after letting you try it. It helped make everything sink in. Not that he had taught anyone one on one other then Belquiri and now Mizuki. Nytria had no real interest in swordplay.

This went on for a little while as blood seemed to be everywhere on the floor the blade the walls even them. It was odd but Thalion kind of enjoyed this time with the other. It wasn't normal and he knew that. Something probably to due with his races history as to why he enjoyed this let alone with someone he loved tossed into the mix.

After a while and Mizuki speaking to the bleeding male before them was when things finally came to a close. The crystal was broken and after the final bit of life left the other's body it hung there limp and bleeding. It was over, he could send word to Beltran that the king was dead finally and that all was well. Mizuki didn't seem to say a word as he left the room. Though Thalion figured the other was heading straight for a bath.

Knowing how Mizuki hated being dirty he would bet on that was where the other was headed. Mizuki wasn't too far ahead as Thalion instructed the guards to do something with the body. Not like it had to stay there. Though after he tried to catch up to Mizuki to make sure he was ok with all of this.

This walk made it all the way to their room and he followed after Mizuki and shut the door as the other seemed to stand there a moment. He wasn't sure on the emotion in the link but it seemed content,like a weight finally was gone. "You ok?" He had to ask it to see what the other would say. Maybe it would take some time for all of that to settle.

After everything that was done Mizuki simply turned and left the room. He had nothing to say now that the male was dead. It was not until he continued on heading to the room that his thoughts began to change. He was not angry or upset in any way. No instead he was content. Mizukis mind was finally settled and he could ask for nothing more at the moment.

As he entered the room Mizuki moved in a little ways before he stopped and stood there. Almost every inch of his body was covered in different splatters of blood and none of them were his. It made him almost feel sick as he looked down at the blood covered hand though the more he thought of it the more content he became. It was all over.... Finally everything was all over.

This was his thinking as he heard the door behind him close. Though the silence in the room seemed to stop as Thalion spoke "You okay?" He heard the male ask and all Mizuki could really do at that point was nod his head once before he stopped again. There was a thought on Mizukis mind and one that had been there for some time now. Turning to Thalion he looked to the male.

Tiny dots of blood splattered the cheek of the male before him. Hands were covered in blood just as his were and something about that made an emotion rise in him. One that he didnt expect though he didnt question it. With a step and quick movement he had Thalion pushed into the wall as he grabbed both males hands as he did razing them over the males head in one swift motion that spoke of his plan.

Growling lightly Mizuki looked right into those ember eyes before him "Is it bad..." Mizuki began "That all I can think about, even after that... is you?" He asked as he leaned in and claimed those dark lips in a deep and almost rough kiss. Mizuki thought it weird as he acted the way he did though something in his mind told him that it was just the thing he wanted. So with that thought he didnt pull back. No instead he moved closer and placed his chest firmly against Thalions.

It was over, through everything Mizuki finally had his closure. He seemed to be taking it rather well actually. Thalion wasn't sure what he was expecting really. Maybe a bit more emotion seeing everything finally brought to a end. At the same time it was good the other seemed to be taking it well. Even as the nod of the head was his only answer he accepted it for the moment.

Though he paused a little as he had barely moved from the door when the other turned to look at him. "Somethin-" He didn't get to finish that question if something was wrong as he found his back against the wall with both hands over his head. The impact with the wall caused him to gasp a little not expecting it and cutting off his question in the same breath.

Mizuki spoke a moment after asking if it was bad that all he thought about was him after all of that. Thalion was going to say no, in fact he found it almost to be normal. Er maybe normal to his race with some blood thirsty history but he would never say it was bad to say the least. Not that he got to answer that question as Mizuki's lips found his own in the start of a rough kiss.

He wasn't going to complain, no not in the slightest as Mizuki held the kiss and pressed his chest against his own. The kiss lasted as long as Mizuki could force it to until they both had to breath and Mizuki moved back just enough to break the kiss still keeping Thalion where he was against the wall.

From the suddenness of it all and the combination of what just happened Thalion wasn't sure if his thoughts were normal or not but he was hardly complaining against them as he panted a little to get his stolen breath back. A slight discoloration on his face as he finally found a few words that needed to be said. "That..." He started before trying to figure out exactly that he was trying to say. "just.. damn." Hell he knew what he was trying to say but the words were evading him for the moment.

Though after a moment he smirked a little moving a leg to hold Mizuki where he was seeing as the other still had his hands pinned. "That .. was hot.. we need to do stuff like this more often." Ok so this might be a one time thing but hell he was going to take it for what it was worth. The adrenaline from killing the king still in both of them, splatters of blood all over. The unexpected attack from the other. He'd hardly object to anything at the moment.

Mizuki held the kiss as long as he could before the need for air made him pull back. Even then it was just enough so he could catch some of his lost breath. This though was when Thalion spoke... or rather he tried to. Managing only a few words Mizuki smirked a little as he tightened his hands on Thalions own. However he had to hold in the little groan that threatened to escape as he felt Thalion move his leg to rap around his own moving him closer.

"That .. was hot.. we need to do stuff like this more often." He heard and Mizuki smiled "Lets just skip to the captive and death next time though" He said with a growl. It was true. He would rather not go through all those years of pain, no instead he would rather just have this moment. "Either way..." Mizuki said as he moved a little "I am no where near being done.." Mizuki said before he took both of Thalions hands in one of his own.

Bringing his other hand down Mizuki grabbed a fist full of hair before roughly forcing the males head to the side. As he heard the little gasp he smiled. It was then his goal to make that gasp turn into something he always wanted to hear from Thalion... a yell of some form. With that thought his lips and teeth found the juncture of Thalions neck biting down harshly.

He could agree with that. Hell after this many years of dealing with a captive he almost wanted to find a excuse to get a new one. Ok he wasn't quite that twisted. There would be something that came up at some point he was sure. Though maybe it wouldn't call for the death part... Not that he got to linger on that thought very long as Mizuki spoke that he was hardly done.

He would have managed some form of a smart remark or comment but Mizuki seemed to have other plans in mind. This was especially made apparent as Mizuki managed to free one hand from holding onto his and forced his head to the side. He couldn't help but gasp really. Though he wasn't honestly trying to hold back any sounds either. No he had already said forget it on trying that. He'd rather focus on everything going on.

Sure he was expecting something, Mizuki wuldn't expose his neck like this otherwise. Though it was the harshness and the sudden twinge of pain from the bite that caused Mizuki to get the reward he was seeking. So soon at that. Sure he could fight this but he hardly wanted to. After everything that happened he hardly cared.

Mizuki was delighted in the sound that came from Thalions lips as his teeth bit down on that exposed neck. Oh that was what he wanted though to him it was only the start. Mizuki had plans and he was going to go through with them. That was his thought as he took those hands and with a swift movement turned the male and forced his chest into the wall. Moving the hands down from above his hand to behind his back Mizuki stepped closer pushing the male into the wall.

Leaning in he smiled as he kissed that dark neck before pulling back lightly "Speaking of hot things..." Mizuki said bringing up Thalions words from before "Those sounds that seem to escape you..." Mizuki said as he bit down on the point ear beside him. Thus in turn causing another sound to escape those dark lips "Are just as..." leaning in he breathed deep "...hot..." He said over the dark ear.

Mizuki was back to his normal self even down to the teases and touches he gave the male before him. Something about finally killing the king made him feel like himself and he wanted nothing more then to show the male just that. So he did...everything was fast and rough but for some reason he wouldnt have it any other way. Even as he stood there behind Thalion pressed into the male breathing hard he didnt think anything of it "I must say..." He said after a moment "That dose need to happen again" He said with a growl placing a kiss on the males neck.

After that he moved back and giving a sigh pulled back from the male. This was when Mizuki looked down at his hands and sighed "Well...I do say its about time for a bath" He said then got a smirk. In a swift movement Thalion was up and over his shoulder as he headed for the bathroom all the while ignoring the males protests.

Thalion hardly cared that everything was fast and rough. No at the moment that was what he had wanted. Probably somewhere in his mind it was what he wanted this whole time and couldn't have. In a way he was still in a bit of shock this was happening. Through everything and Mizuki seemed to be back to his old self. Something that Thalion had accepted as being impossible.

The touches and whispers, the bites and keeping him pinned where he was. He had missed it all. All of the years he had Mizuki here and safe and couldn't do anything. Yet it all came back, through everything that had happened and here they were back to where things should have been this whole time. It wasn't like he could help releasing the sounds that Mizuki seemed to be aiming for. The other still knew every weakness and just what to do and say to get what he wanted.

Even once everything was said and done and they both stood there with heavy breaths Mizuki seemed to take a moment before regaining his enough to speak. The words made Thalion smirk a little. Though he wasn't sure if Mizuki actually enjoyed what lead to this or if the link that they shared had some hand in aiding it. He wasn't about to question what made it happen though. "Heh...it does.. that it does." Even with Mizuki seemingly back to his old self it wasn't often that Thalion got to see the other take control like this. Sure he commonly started whatever happened between the two but not like this.

Though he didn't get to enjoy the thought for much longer as Mizuki seemed to decide that it was time for a bath. Thalion would agree with that though not the crazy hour long ones Mizuki seemed to enjoy taking. But he didn't get to say anything on the idea as Mizuki quickly had moved and picked him up over his shoulder as he walked. "I can walk you know!" He growled at the other knowing it was useless to do so. "Legs aren't broke.. " Was the final protesting hiss before they were in the bathroom already.

Mizuki kissed him to make him shut up for the moment before going to start the bath. Doing his normal routine of putting extra things in the tub. It was funny to watch how much care was taken in it. Though watching was how Thalion memorized how Mizuki liked things. They still didn't really talk about things they liked and if they knew any it was because they had been around the other for so long it was hard to miss.

"I know you can but this way is more fun" Mizuki said as Thalion complained that he could walk. He knew that but he really didnt care at the moment even if the male was to agree with his wishes. Putting Thalion down as he reached the bathroom he smiled as he began the water though this was when Thalion continued to talk and it was getting a little on his nerves he turned and leaning in kissed Thalion silencing the males words "You talk to much" Mizuki said with a smile as he pulled back.

After that it was simple to get the water finished with herbs to help relax as well as a few others Mizuki threw in for smell and other things. Then moving Mizuki got into the water with a sigh. Looking over to Thalion he smiled "You know..." He said "As much as I love the image of you right now..." He sid looking at the blood splattered male "And as hot as that moment was...I do say its time to get clean" He said with a smile as he moved over to allow the male in.

After that Mizuki for himself helped wash Thalion. He ignored the protests the male gave he knew after while that they would die and he was right. Thalion knew better then to go against Mizuki when he set his mind on something. It didnt take to long before they were cleaned and out into the room getting ready for bed. Just as Mizuki got dressed a knock sounded at the door. "I knew the good times wouldnt last long" He said in a sigh as he headed for the door.

Opening it he smiled "Though what a welcome inturption!" He said as he looked at Belquiri with her baby brother in her arms "Hello papa" She said with a smile "I figured it was time for Amonar to sleep in his bed" She said before handing the young child to Mizuki. He smiled "Yes thank you my dear" He said leaning over and kissing her forehead "Now...I have to study" Shes aid with a smile before waving "Have a good night papa tell dad the same and that I will see him in the morning for training" She said as she walked down the hall.

Turning back inside he closed the door behind him "Look who I have!" Mizuki said in a happy voice as he walked over to Thalion as the male was already sitting in the bed propped up against the back "Its our handsome young man" He said as Mizuki crawled into the bed beside Thalion before carefully placing young Amonar in Thalions lap before curling into his side. The young male only moved once and that was to snuggle into Thalion more.

Mizuki smiled as he felt the arm move around his shoulders before the other hand went to craddle around Amonar. "I couldnt ask for a more perfect life..." Mizuki said as he curled in more "I love you Thalion" He said lightly "With everything I am and more..." He said smiling as he closed his eyes and gave a little yawn.

Things were perfect, for once. Well once again anyway. As perfect as they were going to get. Things were finally back to normal for the most part and there was no reports of attacks or a war looming over their shoulders. Granted times like this bored Thalion at times but he was hardly going to complain after everything they had just been through. No he'd take a while of peace for a change.

Actually this time of peace went on for a good few months. Really there was no reports of anything now even. Though there as a few things on Thalion's mind about now. For starters there was a handful of new dragons that seemed to hatch and had no riders. Though that meant that they had a partner somewhere and that was a headache on its own when they hatched before their rider got to them. Plus by this time there were a few of the breeds that were large enough to be ridden... oh that posed a new challenge training wise.

Though months had passed from when the king was killed and the young Amonar had been added to their family. The other thing on Thalion's mind was that Neimi was planning Mizuki's birthday again. Something smaller then the last time she planned something. Though she was gradually getting older so going all out wasn't something she could do as easily anymore. It was a reminder that she was very much human and something he never thought about would happen sooner or later.

Though hopefully later... much later. for now he had a few plans of his own and he was cursing his own thoughts for saying to go through with them. He had sent a letter after the kings death to Beltran to inform the new fae ruler of this update. Though the return letter had a extra package. That and a extra note saying he still expected that favor to be a picture of him in the outfit Beltran sent. Of course he had to reply with a not on your life.. probably a bit harsher words. Though the other knew that was going to be his response.

The note also made some tease that Thalion's lover would probably love to see him wear it. The first thought was yeah right. Though the longer he thought on it the more the idea seemed to sink in that he wanted to do something for Mizuki's birthday. Something unexpected and that the other would enjoy.

So that was his plan then. He hated the outfit to be honest, quite honest. Though he was determined at least one time to win against the other. All the times they started things and Mizuki always won with teases or words. No he was going to pull out all the stops and if he didn't win this time he would just have to accept that it was not possible to win. Though it was more to see what reaction he got from the other. Mizuki always went on about how showing some skin wouldn't kill him. Especially in the summer time when he normally still wore long sleeves.

After that night everything continued on as they should. There was no news of trouble through the lands or in the kingdom the two kings ruled over. No everything for once was at peace and it seemed to shock Mizuki a little at times. He was used to the constant fear of something going wrong or the fear that the day he lived would be his last. Though as of late it was a thought on the back of his mind.

Since that night time moved on and now it seemed to be months later after the death of the king. Though another date seemed to approach and one Mizuki usually didnt care for. This year however he didnt find himself locked away in some study alone. No even though he was more silent as the days approached he didnt hide it. Instead he walked around the castle just as he always did with Amonar in his arms as he gave his orders to the servants about.

It was not until later into the day did he find himself talking with Belquiri "You know I am perfectly fine" Mizuki said with a little glare to the female as she shrugged her shoulders "Dont try and put anything on me" She said with a smirk "Its auntie Neimi...you know how she is" She said with a shake of her head "Besides its your birthday papa you should have fun" She said with a smile and Mizuki sighed a little "What fun?" He asked "I have a kingdom to run as well as a baby to raise...there is no fun" He said with a shrug.

At this however the female growled a little "There can be fun if you ever allow it!" Belquiri said in a bit of a higher voice though at the look Mizuki gave her she frowned "Sorry papa" She said and the male smiled a little "My dear...I am fully aware of the day trust me but just because it is the day of my birth does not mean that I need to celebrate it" He said looking to her "There is nothing to celebrate" He said with a shrug of his shoulders.

At this Belquiri stood from her chair before walking over. Making Mizuki stand she began to push him from his own study "Hey...what on earth-" He began as he struggled though the female smirked "It is your birthday and as such it is a time to celebrate even if you do not think it is!" She said as she reached the door before shoving him out of it "Now...if I was you I would go and head for the dining hall before Neimi sends a search party to fetch you...another words dad" She said with a smile "Oh and dont worrie....I will watch Amonar all night!" She said with a wave as she closed the door almost right in Mizukis face.

Mizuki huffed as he stood there with his arms crossed. Belquiri was just like them in many ways. Sighing he moved and began to head down the hall he might as well take full advantage of this. Then this was when the thought of ditching and leaving the little party came to his mind. Though it ended the more he thought on it. Neimi was human and as such her years began to catch up to her. The grey hairs and wrinkled skin was starting to set in and it was often a thought of Mizukis how much longer they had with the female.

With that thought he gave a sigh and headed for the dining hall where he knew the female as well as others seemed to be in wait. Opening the large doors before him it was almost the same as the last time the female did something for his birthday. He was greeted first by Needren and Luna both of them expressing their wishes of a good birthday to him. Then there were others that did the same. Though the whole time he didnt see Thalion around.

Even as he went up to Neimi and asked the female shook her head. She didnt even know where he went off to. She had tried to locate the male in more ways then one but when she did she was told that he wished to be left alone. That right there made Mizuki frown. The only reason he even really bothered with this night was because he was sure that Thalion would of spent the night right along his side. At least this was his thinking and it seemed his thinking was wrong.

Even as the night began to come to an end Mizuki didnt see a single glance of the male. What on earth could of kept Thalion away from him for the whole day? Let alone at the night like this... Something began to boil in Mizukis mind the more the night went on and the more it did the more angry or upset he seemed to get. Here he was sitting almost alone now in the dining hall with some dark thoughts. "You know its not the end of the world to be a day older right?"

Mizuki turned his head at this and watching as Luna came up and sat down across from him he sighed "Its not that..." Mizuki said and Luna nodded her head as she crossed her arms "Oh I know...I also know exactly what seems to be the dark thoughts that cloud your mind" Luna huffed a little making Mizuki look to her "You know as well as I do that he loves you with everything he has.." Luna said and Mizuki frowned a little "Thus...there has to be a reason as to why he didnt show tonight" Luna said with a nod.

"Before you get all dark and gloomie..." Luna said as she stood and moved away from the table a little "I would go and see if I could find the reasoning as to why he did not show tonight" With that and a shrug Luna turned and left. Shortly after Mizuki fallowed her example and left the now empty dining hall and headed for his room. At the least with Belquiri watching Amonar he had the chance of a good sleep. Or so he thought as he reached his room and with closed eyes he opened the door before walking in and shutting it behind him. Leaning against the door he kept his eyes shut as he groaned a little.

Thalion didn't actually mean to be missing for the whole day. No the plan was to debate this stupid idea he had stuck in his head for the past few months. He kept going back on it. Really he was still debating it and had lost all concept of time as far as the hour is was currently. This was beyond a stupid idea. He had a doubt in his head that this was a good idea, Mizuki might take this the wrong way with how many years he was stuck under the fae's rule and all.

Though by this time he had settled on going through with it and paying for it if Mizuki disliked the idea. Besides that it was a bit late now to go and change his mind. No by now he had everything planned out or maybe somewhat of a idea. Besides that his nerves had settled enough finally to where he wasn't trying to adjust the cloth there was every three seconds. To think there was a race who went around like this by choice!

Though by now it was do or die actually as the door opened and shut soon after. Well he didn't have a choice in changing his mind now. Luckily for him Mizuki couldn't see as well as he could in lower light. Something he did on purpose to buy himself a few moments extra of time to debate what to say or do. Though if Mizuki was back that meant he had wasted the whole day in here.. He;d be lucky if Mizuki wasn't pissed at him let alone liked any of this.

Hearing the groan he could guess the mood the other was in and that worried him a bit. Though the candles being lit about the room should at least tell the other that he didn't forget or wasn't just sitting around all day doing nothing. No he had been working on this for a little while. Getting everything he needed together and knowing that Mizuki hadn't been resting well as of late. Yes he helped with the little baby they had but this one seemed a bit more fussy then the last two. Though he also aged normally as well so maybe that had something to do with it.

This wasn't the same outfit as the one Beltran had forced him into. It varied a little. More properly fitted and everything down to every last detail. Plus it actually exposed a little more skin then the other outfit did, if that was possible he hardly thought so but he was proven wrong. Mizuki didn't seem to move at all and that was when Thalion finally gave up knowing the longer he stood there the less nerve he was going to have to go through with this.

The only downside to all of this was that he knew he was blushing, he couldn't help it knowing he was about as close as you could get to having nothing on. Hate was not a word for it but Mizuki kept complaining that he never showed any skin.. well he was getting his wish just maybe not in a way he was expecting.

Taking a few steps forward was when he spoke knowing that the other was sad and annoyed maybe a hint of anger in there as well from the link. That had been something else he had worked on all day how to not give away anything with that link! A task easier said then done. "Before you say anything.. just hear me out about why I wasn't around today... " he thought on that a little before shaking his head. "Actually I'd rather you didn't say anything... "

He knew the other was going to say something, Mizuki wouldn't help but say something. At the least by now the other could see what he was even talking about. It was taking nearly everything just to act like nothing was wrong as he waited for one of three reactions, one the other was still pissed, two this upset him or three.. the one he was hopeful for and would make all of this worth it.

Mizuki sighed as he leaned into the door just standing there. He could tell from the sounds of the room around him that he was not alone. Though he was not sure if he wanted to open his eyes and see what was before him. Half of him wanted to just go to bed and forget the day was even there. The other half wanted to open his eyes and yell at the male that was no doubt before him. Who in their right mind would skip their husbands birthday without a second thought?

This was his thinking but this was also when Thalion spoke to hear him out. After the day he went through the male asked to hear him out? Mizuki was going to say something but it was the next words that made him silence his own. Thalion wished him not to speak? Why on earth would that be? "You know...out of all the people I expected to come and see me today..." Mizuki began "The one that I thought would of been there from the start didnt even show" Mizuki sighed as he cracked his neck a little.

"Give me one good reason as to why I should not be yell-" Though Mizukis words were cut off as he opened his eyes and for the first time looked at the sight before him. The room was dimly lit from the groups of candles that gathered in spots around the room. Though this was not what made his words stop. No it was Thalion before him. "I...you..." Though Mizuki couldnt seem to find the right words at the moment to express anything.

There Thalion was standing before him with his arms behind his back. Dark crimson mesh clothe covered little of the body before him. Legs seemed to stand proudly within the thin clothe as the arms did the same. Golden cuffs were jeweled with rubies and onyx and rested at the ankles as well as the wrists and neck of the male before him. There was nothing that covered the dark chest leaving it bare to the view. Clothe of the same material covered the lower half of the male as well as woven belts of gold, ruby and onyx laid on leath hips.

Mizuki didnt know what to say. The image of the male before him was a breath taking one to say the least. It was all finished with the blush that seemed to rest over dark cheeks. Where on earth did he get an outfit like that? This was when the thought of Beltran came to mind. Mizuki after everything was over made it a point to thank the male for all that he had done. Now he found himself in need to thank him once more as he looked at Thalion before him.

"So...this was what you were up to..." Mizuki said as he crossed his arms over his chest as his ears dipped down "You could of...sent some one or something to let me know you would not join me" Mizuki said as he finally moved and walking over to the chair infront of the roaring fireplace where he sat down as he crossed his legs looking at Thalion "Instead of having me sit and wait all day for something that would not come" He said with a little sigh.

Yes he could have.. this was when he sighed a little. "Yes well.. I found out arguing with myself can turn into a all day ordeal." He really hadn't meant to stay away all day. No the idea was to set things up and go spend the majority of the time with Mizuki till maybe near the end where he could break away a little bit to finish things. A bit late now for that and as far as he could tell Mizuki seemed to still be a bit mad that he didn't show up.

After Mizuki sat and seemed to sigh as he spoke Thalion frowned a little. Well yeah he needed to manage time a bit better. Today out of any of the days. He really had not meant to waste it all here in one room. After a moment he moved to go to where Mizuki was sitting and sat in the floor next to the other resting his head on Mizuki's leg looking up at him.

"I really didn't mean to waste the day not at your side... I was trying to make today more enjoyable for you." Though he seemed to fail at that by debating his thoughts so long. He sighed a little before moving from where he was for the moment and half leaning over Mizuki before kissing the pouting lips lightly.

"I'm sure I can make it up to you though and get you to forget whatever you had to put up with during the day.." He was pretty sure at least. He had noticed the pause the other seemed to take in noticing what he was wearing. Maybe he finally found a weakness Mizuki couldn't win against.

Mizuki frowned a little as he sat there and watched Thalion. Though as the male moved over to where he was sitting on the floor and placing his head on his knee so cutely it took everything in his power to still hold the little pout he had on his lips. "I really didn't mean to waste the day not at your side... I was trying to make today more enjoyable for you." he heard Thalion explain before the male moved and leaned over him kissing the pouting pale lips before pulling away.

Though this was when Thalion went on to say that he could male it up to him. Could he now? The thought on how the male would make it up to him. There were many thoughts running through his mind on what Thalion could do but then another thought came to him. The male was wearing the clothes of a royal slave. So he had a slave for now did he?

"Seems to me that you..." Mizuki said as he uncrossed his arms and with moving a hand he placed a long pale finger under the males chin as he moved it a little close before he himself leaned down "...need to change your 'Masters' mood..." Mizuki said as he brushed that finger under the males chin with a little flick before he moved back and sat back into the chair at full height as he looked down to Thalion with a smirk and fake hard eyes. The hint of mirth and the link gave him away.

It was the outfit of a royal slave, to the fae anyway. Though it wasn't too off from what some of the pets that some of the noble females kept of his own kind. A bit more dressed up and flashy but still. Maybe the next time he went about a idea like this he'd work with something he was a bit more use to rather then this.. maybe if there was a next time anyway.

The words that left Mizuki's mouth as he spoke almost made Thalion grin a little. Just the way he said it and the link hinting he wasn't actually mad at this. But it seemed Mizuki had made a game of this, and seeing as he had messed up today by taking so long he wasn't going to fight with complying to such a request.

The one person who could get Thalion to say master without wanting to kill the other. Though Mizuki could get Thalion to do a lot of things others could not on that note. Bowing his head a little as he seemed to accept this little role Mizuki brought up. "As my master wishes... it will not do for him to remain angry with today's events."

He spoke before standing and keeping his head down the whole time to show rank. Shudder the thought that year around Beltran taught him most of this and it was forced teaching as he was a bit more defiant then he should have been. Either way he walked over towards the bed before speaking again. As much as he hated to admit it he played this role well, the walk and everything down to a grace almost as he extended a hand towards the bed in gesture.

Asking Mizuki to come over so he could make his master forget the woes of the long day and to help relax the tense muscles. He had planned part of this just not the added dialog that seemed to be easy enough to work into this little scenario. Though he was glad that only Mizuki knew about any of this. Not that anyone else would believe that quick tempered Thalion could be obedient in any way even in just playing with the other.

Never the less Mizuki seemed to comply with the request keeping his own act in the process. This ended up with Mizuki on the bed and Thalion working the bare back, similar to what he had done for the other before though this time he got to use one of the oils to help in easing up the over tensed muscles from everything going on over the months.

Working from the back of the neck and down to the lower back before going back to the shoulders and doing similar work on each arm and moving down to the legs. Mizuki did joke one day he wanted to be treated like Thalion treated that metal he so commonly worked on. Just maybe a more delicate metal then the one he was cursing that day.

Moving back up slowly he placed a kiss on the side of Mizuki's neck before whispering ear the other's ear. "my master seems to be in a better mood already.. yet the night is still young." The light breath against Mizuki's skin as he spoke. No he didn't do any of this for Beltran but he did know some of Mizuki's weaknesses and what better time to play on them then now.

Mizuki watched Thalion as the male stood and moved over to the bed. His head was bowed and his gaze stayed on the floor yet his movements were gracefull and elegant. Many would call him a liar if he said the male held grace. It was just one thing that Mizuki could say he was the only one that knew. This was when his thoughts ended as he watched Thalion move to the bed. With a simple gesture of his hand and light words he had Mizuki up and heading for that bed with his head held high and his foot falls brisk.

As Mizuki reached the side of the bed he removed his robes and let them fall to the ground. Dismissing his pants he he climbed in before laying and resting on his stomach. This was when Thalion began his work as Mizuki gave a content sigh. The feeling of those strong hands rubbing any worry he had away was something that he couldnt explain. The feeling was fantastic.

Mizuki didnt stir until he felt the male all but crawl back up his body before he felt the kiss on the side of his neck fallowed by the hot breath ghosting over a pointed ear as Thalion spoke to him. "My master seems to be in a better mood already.. yet the night is still young." Mizuki smiled at that as he held back the little groan that threatened to escape from his pale lips. Two could play this little game.

"Why that it is" He said lightly "A better mood your master may have yes..." Mizuki began. This was when he moved and turned. Currently not caring of his shameless state he moved and leaned into the back of the bed and the plush pillows "...though I still say it could be better." Mizuki said with a smirk as he looked down at Thalion. Mizuki then moved a little as he leaned forward. Bringing a knee to his chest he smiled at Thalion as he rested his head there "I must say thats an order" He said in a little playfull growl.

At the least he knew he had a slight edge over most of the times they went back and forth in such games. This one seemed to have higher stakes though. Oddly he couldn't say he minded this role when it came to Mizuki. Though it was true anything he was doing if Mizuki tried to tell anyone they'd say he was lying. Thalion taking orders let alone the grace part. The only time he showed hints of that grace was in fights even then it was a different type.

Though when Mizuki moved to his back and spoke again Thalion had to hide a bit of a smirk. A order huh. He could comply with a order, but only from Mizuki. "As my master wishes then.." This little game went on for a while. Teases and light touches. Both keeping their role. Either way Mizuki seemed to be enjoying it and he couldn't hide that seeing as they were still connected. One of the few things Thalion thanked that link for.

Nothing was rushed unless Mizuki said otherwise and after a while the roles they were trying to hold just to out last the other faded as well. So now they were laying together both trying to catch their breaths as Thalion thought of a slight remark just to see what response he'd get from it all.

Holding the other close to him before he kissed Mizuki lightly and spoke. "So is my master satisfied now?" He expected some remark, maybe even a smart one but it was worth it. At the least he had made up for the lack of spending time with him during the day.

The act kept up with the two of them through almost the whole thing. Both wanting to win the game that they seemed to play. Though after awhile titles were lost as the two continued. It was not until the two of them layed there with Thalion pulling him close did that playfull title return as he spoke asking if he was satisfied. "For now..." Was Mizukis simple response as he curled into his chest a little "Though I must say..." Mizuki said as he moved.

Leaning up on his arm he looked down into Thalions face "That little outfit of yours..." Mizuki began and right away he smiled at the blush in the males cheeks "...you must keep that for the future" He said "...I keep telling you that you need to show some skin" Mizuki said as he moved a hand and trailed light fingers over the dark chest as they fallowed the out line curve of muscles. "It was rather worth not having you at my side all day." He said with a smile.

Mizuki then moved a little and leaned down he kissed Thalion before pulling back "...one of these days I will do you one better" He said with a smirk as his fingers stopped and he placed a hand flat on the males chest "That is my word" He said again before leaning down and kissing Thalion once more before pulling back and placing his head once again on the males chest. "But until then...I do say I am going to take advantage of Belquiri having Amonar" He said curling into Thalion some more "Good night my love"

For now the other said. This made Thalion smirk a little. Oh there could be more later see as they seemed to have the night to themselves. As much as he loved their family they had it was nice to every once in a while get time where they didn't have to worry about anything besides one another. Though it seemed Mizuki had more to say as the other started speaking again.

Mizuki mentioned the outfit as Thalion glanced away a little to break the sudden eye contact with the blush he knew was on his face. Though he didn't know what to say as the other seemed to tell him to keep it. Reminding him that he kept saying to show some skin at least once in a while. It was the hand moving along his skin that drew his attention back as he sighed a little.

"I suppose.. for you i can hang onto it. But only because you seem to want me to." This was when Mizuki had moved and kissed him. Well at least he had made up for not being around all day. Though he would have rather done both. He'd have to plan something like this better for next year.

As Mizuki settled back down again and spoke Thalion nodded a little. Though he smirked as Mizuki spoke he was going to do one better. "I'd like to see you try." He was pretty sure this was one of the best efforts he had done thus far. It'd be hard to top it to be honest.

Though that night was at the least a good sleep. Mizuki needed it, in a way he had needed it as well but Mizuki normally took over getting Amonar during the nights. They did switch from time to time but there was a lot to do with a young baby and all the work to keep this place running.

After that day peace seemed to still linger in the lands. Though that did not mean there was peace everywhere. About five years had passed as the young Amonar was five years of age. He had been growing well as had the kingdom as a whole.

Though in more recent months it seems the stress of things were taking its toll on the pair. Thalion had been overly busy with dealing with some of the dragons hitting the age where they were falling into their powers and being able to use them at will. This was giving some of the riders trouble.

As well as this being a danger to the kingdom if one of the dragons decided to stop listening to its rider and test its new skills on the townsfolk or the castle walls. Thalion had been trying to spend as much time as he could spare with his family and work but to say the least work seemed to destroy any chances of free time he had.

Not only that but there seemed to be a new batch of eggs as well and that meant that there would be more riders at some point. He was just worn pretty thin with it all. Plus the fact he still trained the troops and worked on ways to ensure that the walls would stand against anything and that their forces were ready if needed.

For the moment he was nursing a headache from the mornings activities of dealing with some acid dragons that had a bad temperament. Standing in the bedroom as he half leaned with a hand on the table and the other on his forehead. "Just one thing after another.." He hissed under his breath. He had hardly seen Mizuki, heck the last time he saw the little one was when he told him he'd have to look at whatever he had to show him later.

Of course that was a few weeks ago now. Just another month or so and things should settle out... Most of the dragons were trained so there was only a few left causing issues. Yet today something felt off. Like he was forgetting something.

After that day time went on and everything continued as it should. Though it seemed that the time he could spend with Thalion began to dwindle more and more until it became a point where he didnt even see the male. What with work and taking care of everything it happened that by the time Mizuki was up and ready for the day Thalion was just getting to bed. This happened for longer then he thought it would. Weeks turned to months and those into years.

Now Amonar was turning six and it was the day of his birthday. Yet even with the day being what it was Mizuki had yet to see Thalion. He knew that the male had things to worry over and do yet so did he. The thought that Thalion was starting to not care made shelter at the for front of his mind. It was not until the conversation that he held with Amonar that made everything stick there.

It was early that same morning that it took place. Mizuki was with Amonar in his study as he went over some things with the young male. However Mizuki knew that something was wrong with the young male beside him. The dark look that seemed to cloud the young face brought a feeling of pain to Mizukis heart. "What is the matter young one?" Mizuki asked as he moved a hand to the childs head making Amonar look to him. Though as he did Mizuki frowned.

A light brim of tears rested in those maroon eyes as he gazed to Mizuki before he turned his head back down to the book on the table infront of him "Its nothing papa..." He said lightly and this caused Mizuki to shake his head "It is not nothing" He said lightly "On a day such as your birthday should you not be happy?" Mizuki asked lightly with a tilt of his head. Though at this the young boy sniffled and before Mizuki could ask anything Amonar was in his lap crying.

Shocked it took all he had to rap his arms around the young child "There there..." He said "What ever could make you so sad?" He asked the young child as he moved some of the white and red locks from his face. This made Amonar raise his head and as he did Mizuki brushed some tears away with a light brush of his thumb "...I just..." Though he stopped there and Mizuki frowned "You just what?" He asked and Amonars ears dipped back as he frowned "I just...I want to know why dad dosent love me" He asked lightly.

At those words Mizukis heart broke "Why on earth would you say something like that?" He asked and Amonar whimpered a little "He never has time for me" He said lightly "Dads always with sister or the riders" He spoke up "He didnt even have time for my trick" Amonar said sighing lightly as he moved and curled into Mizukis chest some more. This made him tighten his arms on the young male he held in his lap.

Amonar just expressed everything that settled on Mizukis mind. Mizuki could handle Thalion not speaking or seeing him what with the two going for years some times with out that happening. Amonar however was a child and he couldnt understand why his dad was not there. The fact that he had to ask if the male still loved him was the breaking point to Mizuki as he thought of everything.

Over the time the male seemed to disappear within the castle was when Mizuki had found out about Amonars magical ability. The young male had something similar to his own magical abilities with being able to use more then one element. Mizuki found this out the hard way one day with the young male having a temper tantrum. Though he never did see Thalion after this took place to tell the male of what had taken place. So instead he told the young child that the next time he saw his dad he was suppose to show him. Though now Mizuki sees that he was even ignored then. This was something Mizuki would not stand for and it has gone on long enough for his liking.

"Hush there my handsome boy" Mizuki said kissing the childs head "Your father loves you and would do anything for you" He said lightly as he began a soft rocking motion "You just need to think of all the work your dad and papa has to make you and the kingdom safe" Mizuki said though the next words that came from Amonars mouth even silenced Mizuki "I know...but papa loves and has time for me...dad dosent" He said as he clung to Mizuki.

After that the silence was horrible. Mizuki didnt know what to say to calm the young child but he was greatfull that it was time for the young males nap as he all but fell asleep in Mizukis arms. Standing Mizuki left the study and headed for Belquiris room. Once he reached the room he was asked what was wrong the moment he was seen "Something" Was all he said "Please let him nap here...seems your father and I have some words to discuss" He said as he placed the young male on Belquiris bed.

At this the female frowned "What do you have to-" But she was cut off as Mizuki spoke "That is none of your concern" He said looking to her. Mizuki was in a foul mood now and nothing that could be said would change the words he wished to say to the male "Just...keep him here and with you until later" He said before turning and leaving in a huff. From there Mizuki made his way to find Thalion though from the time of day he knew where the male was. Even if he had to wake him to say what was on his mind he would. Enough was enough.

Walking to the room he opened the doors and all but slammed them behind him as he entered. That right there made the male standing at the table look to him before questioning what was wrong "You dont want to know" Mizuki hissed as he walked past Thalion with a glare that could chill ice. From there he headed into the bathroom. Coming out he was only in a pair of loose pants as he walked past the male though this was when Thalion thought it a good idea to ask what his problem was.

"My problem...you want to know my problem" Mizuki asked as he stood there with his back towards the male. "My problem is that even though your home you are no where to be seen" He hissed before turning and looking to Thalion. Mizuki was pissed and Thalion would be able to tell from just looking at him never mind the link. "You have a life besides those goddamned dragons Thalion!" He screamed to him before he stopped "Or maybe is that you are bored of us?" He asked with a tilt of his head "Care for something different...then leave" He said "Its bad enough I make excuses for Amonar as to why is dad is not around." He hissed deeply before moving to grab some robes and leave.

Thalion did have to ask. Mizuki had come in the door in a mood the link even screamed it. Let alone when the other walked out of the bathroom and spoke to answer his question he asked a second time. Though when Mizuki answered was when Thalion got a bit ticked at what he was just told. Really he had the nerve to say he was bored with them?! Hell he had been working his ass off to keep things safe around here. Unlike the mages that Mizuki dealt with a dragon didn't always understand waiting or simple commands for that matter.

Though as the other spoke of making excuses why he wasn't there to Amonar Thalion shook his head a little. He had just talked to the child a few days ago.. right? He was pretty sure of it. Positive infant, ok maybe not positive but he swore it wasn't that long ago. Hell what was today even? Though Mizuki seemed to still be in a huff as he grabbed the other stopping him from putting a robe on and forcing him to face him.

"Really? You come in here and say I don't care or I'm bored? After everything you really that that is the case. What about you Mizuki, you might spend more time with the kids then I do but you're never here either. Whenever someone asks where you are I can't tell them because I have no idea. Yet its my fault."

They both were working probably too hard on things that could wait. Yes Mizuki did spend more time with their family then Thalion did. But Thalion was working so he didn't have to do this many more times. He was training a few of the advanced riders to take his place in training the dragons as they aged. It was because he was tired of not having time. The last five or six years flew by and he had missed spending a lot of time with the ones he cared about.

"So don't you dare say this is all my fault... and as for Amonar you don't have to make excuses. I told him a few days ago that I needed some time before I could see whatever he wanted to show me. You're right i have a life besides the damned dragons and if i had my way i wouldn't have to worry about them but here we are." Though if they were not worrying about them then Thalion would still have a curse risking his life as well.

"Dragons don't wait, not when they are hitting their teen stage and are trying to flaunt their powers and test them." Surely Mizuki had to understand that, he was trying, as hard as he could. Things could only be rushed so much and yet here they were fighting again.

Mizuki growled. Was Thalion really trying to turn this whole thing on him? After everything that he had heard from the young male this morning and Thalion has the nerve to turn it on him? Oh no that was not flying well with Mizuki as he stood there and listened to everything that the male had to say "I am fully aware of the responsibilities of a dragon Thalion" Mizuki said with a hiss "Though the last time I checked there was more then one person in this god forsaken castle that could do that job!" He hissed to him.

It was true though Mizuki could think of a couple right now that would be there to take care of everything if the male needed a day off but that didnt come to Thalions mind. This was when his thoughts ended as Thalion went on about how he had seen Amonar a few days prior and Mizuki literally laughed at that "I swear your sense of time is one fucked up thing" He said shaking his head "A few days...try a few weeks" Mizuki said growling.

This was when Thalion looked to him with shock and Mizuki growled "You are to caught up in your own doings that you didnt even realize how many days have past since you last saw him" He said "Not only that but I know for a fact you know nothing of him!" Mizuki screamed to Thalion as he clenched his fists. Though this was when Thalion yelled back that he did and Mizuki lost it.

Growling he charged at the male and with a right hook sent Thalions head flying to the side. "You know nothing!" Mizuki yelled as he began his attack on the male. Punching and kicking Mizuki didnt let up as he attacked "You dont know his fears or his wishes..." He screamed forcing the male back as he gave blow after blow. "You know nothing of his studies, his manerisums or the way he acts!" Mizuki cursed "I BET YOU DIDNT EVEN KNOW OF YOUR SONS MAGIC!" With that Mizuki gave a well aimed kick that sent the male flying through the double doors of their room to skid across the hallway floor.

Though Mizuki didnt give time for the male to react as he continued his forward attack "He came to you wanting nothing more then to show his dad what he could do and you turned him away like nothing!" Mizuki cursed as he kicked out at the male watching as Thalion dodged it backing away. Mizuki was pissed no there was a better word for this. Mizuki was furious and Thalion was getting all his anger in one shot "Its bad enough I hardly see you but a young child needs his father!" He screamed again before casting a spell and covering his fists in frost he again attacked Thalion.

From the start others in the castle knew what was going on. The noises echoing off of the walls was a good indication but the more and more the two of them fought the more and more they traveled through the castle collecting on lookers as they went. "I am sick and tired of you not making an effort! One day we will not be here when you finally decide to try!" He screamed again as his fist connected with Thalions chest and side making the male grunt ion pain.

Had it been a few weeks? What the hell was he... surely it hadn't been a few weeks. Yes there were others who could do the job but currently they had been failing to deal with the dragons that had no riders. That was his concern was that they were going to end up with rogue dragons this close to the castle let alone in the grounds.

He did know things about Amonar. Though when he claimed this Mizuki seemed to lose it as he started attacking. It caught him a bit off guard though he should have seen it coming with the link they had. The temper Mizuki had at the moment. For now it was all he could do to block the strikes or most of them. Though a well placed kick lead this little argument into the hall.

Oh that was it like hell he was going to stand there and let Mizuki beat on him and act like he had no fault in any of this. Just because the other had managed some time with their kids hardly meant that things were not the others fault as well as his own. Thalion wasn't blaming Mizuki for not having time but Mizuki had been just as hard to find as himself in more recent months.

Though this was when Mizuki seemed to take things up a few notches as the other started using magic. Of course this meant he had to as well just to block the spells and hits from Mizuki. Though this fight hardly stayed in one place for long. Probably a good thing or one or the other of them would have made more then just the few chunks in the walls missing.

By this time they were almost going at it with no limitations as Mizuki swore Thalion up and down and both sides saying that the other didn't try hard enough. Though maybe Thalion was a bit more at fault here but it wasn't like he had done any of this on purpose. Mizuki of all people should know that.

By this time they were in the courtyard fighting one another. Frost and ice covering some spots while others were burnt or still ablaze. They didn't seem to be stopping any time soon either as Mizuki said that they would be gone by the time he tried. Blocking another of the other's blows as he growled his words.

"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?" He didn't mean that but he was tired of dealing with Mizuki and him saying he wasn't trying hard enough. He was. He was trying so he didn't have to spend so much time away from those he cared about. Even if he had that under control Mizuki would still be too busy to bother with spending time with him as the other had no spare time besides what he spent with the children.

Though things had gone on long enough as Nytria had gotten Vaden and Luna and Ryza had heard the fight when it was first progressing into using spells. The two of them were going to level this place before they settled on anything if they did even.

Vaden was the first to step in as he made a shadow barrier between the two so any further spells wouldn't hit the other. He could go further if he needed but this was a warning. Ryza had grabbed Thalion before forcing him to the ground and growling at him. "Damn it chill the fuck out before you two kill one another! Or someone else getting caught in this."

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.
