Mizuki sighed a little "Why didnt you bring this to my attention before?" He asked lightly to Thalion as he dipped his head "There are many different places that we can go to research something like this" Mizuki said with a nod of his head. "Besides that..." He said lightly "There are masters that we could look into...there are many options Thalion" Mizuki said looking to him.

This was when Mizuki gave a sigh as he hung his head a little "Married...about to go through this ritual and here you are thinking that you still have to do everything alone" He said with a sad little laugh. "I can help you Thalion...though the mor and more we go on something tells me that you dont want my help..." He said with a sad groan.

Shaking his head Mizuki frowned "How..." He paused "...Or why...go through with this if you think like that?" He asked lightly with a tilt of his head. "How can I help...if you dont let me?" He asked in an almost broken whisper to the male.

"It wasn't important before, they never lasted long enough for it to matter and I stayed clear of fights when at all possible so the odds of anything coming of it were pretty slim." Or least he thought it wasn't important. Not at the time, he figured he had plenty of time to work on fixing it. Though now it seemed he might not have as much as he thought and at the same time he had a way to fix it.

Though the mention of masters and research was when he sighed. "There was research done, years of it. Over three hundred years of research to remove it. The whole reason the royal family had so many heirs is because it was almost expected for at least two or three were going to kill themselves in some quest to master powers that were beyond their control. Though I guess they weren't planning on a raid taking care of the whole family." At the least with having six heirs there were good odds that one would live to surpass their parents in rule.

"I know I don't have to do everything alone, I never planned to go about fixing this alone." He moved a little before leaning back against the door again not really wanting to move. Mizuki was right he should have brought this up sooner but.. how could you tell someone oh odds are I'll probably kill myself but there might be a cure for it.

"I tried for years to figure out why Zeffren left. I was told for years that he was killed or betrayed the crown and that made no sense to me because he was Queen's mate." Also in other terms his father but that was not a word he used commonly. He sighed finally before speaking. "There is a way to cancel the effect ... I found it out a few months back. Though you're going to think I'm mad when I say how I found such information."

From there he explained the whole event with his father. The strange thing that was said that the Queen here had mentioned about change being needed. As well as where he needed to get to in order to keep what had apparently killed quite a few in his blood line from repeating its process. Though this meant he had to get back to the city and over throw the Queen in rule.

"I wasn't meaning to keep any of this from you, there was everything else going on and this was going to have to wait till after the human king was dealt with anyway." He got quiet a little after he seemed to be finished speaking his ears were lowered and he kept thinking the hundred of times that he should have or could have told this to Mizuki. But why? To look into something his father had spent his life trying to reverse only to find a cure at the end of it. Though there was the thought that this could be passed on to the child if there was one produced from all of this.

"Some of this could have been avoided if I had bothered with magic more but at the time I hated it. Everything that had to deal with the stuff I would have rather figured out some way to seal away such powers so they weren't a threat." Though in the long run it would have lead up to needing to do something about it. It just mattered on how many years it took. He more or less resented magic because it had done him favors but at the same time ruined his life. Having to watch what he did daily to make sure that things didn't get out of hand, let alone taking away the one person in his family who he even cared about. Though admitting that he looked up to his father now would never happen.

Mizuki stood there and listened to the male before him speak. It was interesting to him the way he found the cure. People had claimed that pure spirits could come to you and speak even give advice but that was only to a soul of equal pureness. That alone made Mizukis mind turn but he didnt have much time to think about it as Thalion continued to speak. How could he not think that with holding something like this was a big deal? Not to mention the wait he would of had to find out had he not asked.

Mizuki shook his head a little "Well then." He said walking over to Thalion though he stopped a little short of him. "One or the other will have to take place" He said with a nod of his head "First...I would rather look for this cure..." He said with a little nod of his head "Sealing it can be tricky...not to mention painful" He said with a little shiver. Mizuki had never done a sealing by himself but he had helped a master of his a long time ago. The screams still sounded in his mind.

For a moment Mizuki stood there infront of Thalion though neither of them spoke. Neither of them knew what to say yet there was so much to be said. "Do..." Mizuki paused for a moment "Did you want to go through with this..." He asked. Its not like Mizuki was having doubts no in a way he wanted this. Though how Thalion had been acting the closer it got to the time was something that unsettled him.

Though Mizuki took the males silence and the dipped down ears as a bad thing. His own ears dipping he growled "If you didnt want any of this why bother? Why do all the training and go through everything if you stop now?" He asked getting mad. "All that time could of been put else where..." He said in a rage.

He sighed a little. "I know it has to take place I don't really feel like waiting around to see how long it takes for me to snap and try to kill myself or everything around me..." Though the mention of sealing being painful Thalion shook his head a little knowing that too well.

"Yeah.. I figured that out on my own... kind of the reason I stopped trying for a while." There was one scar he could admit to giving to himself. That was a failed attempt as well but it had left enough of a reminder that he wasn't going to pull off sealing magic by himself that was certain. There was no way to focus enough though the pain that it caused.

Then Mizuki asked a question he wanted to answer but didn't right away. Did he want to go through with this. He did... but to admit he was worried about a lot of things that could go wrong. There were so many things that could go wrong and he didn't want it to be his fault if something happened. He'd never forgive himself if...he never asked what the side effects of this failing. What if something happened to Mizuki if it failed?

Though this was when Mizuki spoke up again. Thalion looked at him getting drawn out of his thoughts before he grabbed both of Mizuki's hands in his own. "It's not that I don't... I went through the training because I do. I've spent the past few weeks making sure everything was perfect because I don't know what I'd do if anything went wrong." He could tell bu how the other had spoken that he was getting mad at the thought of stopping after coming this far.

"I'm just.." He paused a little before looking down slightly. "Worried. What if something goes wrong and it's something I could have prevented. Or worse what if there is a child but they have to deal with the same thing I've been dealing with all this time? Thats the last thing I want to pass on to anyone especially a child." He was worried, it would come down to one moment and he didn't want things to go wrong or for something happen to Mizuki or for the child to have something wrong.

Mizuki was about to turn away when both of his hands were grasped and Thalion spoke up again. "Yes...its true" He said lightly with a nod "There is many things that could go wrong" He said though this was when Mizuki stepped forward towards Thalion. Taking one of his hands out of Thalions he raised it to his cheek.

Lightly he brushed some of the males hair out of his face before he brought Thalions face up and he looked right into those ember orbs "Thoubh I know that I can place everything that I am in your hands and not worry" He said with a soft smile and a voice to match "I trust you with everything that I am and everything that I have" He said to him.

This was when Mizuki paused a moment as he looked at him and his ears dipped back a little. Slowly his hand began to retreat "...would you not do the same...and trust me when I tell you everything will be okay..." He said lightly in a sad voice his hand still retreating before he went to take a step back from the male before him.

Least Mizuki was being honest. Though thats what had been on his mind the past few days more then anything was something being done wrong. There were a number of factors in this and he feared just one thing being out of order or misplaced and it could ruin everything. Though Mizuki did calm a few of those nerves with moving his hand to the side of his face.

He listened to the other speak that he trusted Thalion with everything. It helped really more then it should to just hear those words. Words that he knew without them being said even. He knew Mizuki trusted him, if he didn't then they wouldn't be going through with this. They wouldn't have went though a lot of things that they had gone through recently.

When Mizuki spoke again he breathed out a little before nodding at the words. "You're right, I should. Rather I do. I just.. " He shook his head finally to cut that thought out before he stepped forward a little putting a hand on the side of Mizuki's face lightly before following that action with a kiss. "You're right, everything will be ok." Though he couldn't help the comment that followed after that. "So hope you're ready to be a dad then."

Mizuki was glad when he felt the hand on his cheek fallowed by the kiss. Yes that was what he had wanted. This was when Thalion spoke again as he pulled back from the kiss "You're right, I should. Rather I do. I just.." though he stopped. He just what? Something told him that there was more to that story then the male wanted to lead on but the thought died at the comment that was soon made.

"Dad huh..." He said in a little whisper before he leaned in to Thalion "Same with you..." He said lightly "You will make a great father...and I know this" He said before moving in and pushing the male back he pushed Thalion into the wall behind before he leaned in close again "I mean..." Mizuki began before he placed a kiss on Thalions cheek "...if you were..." He said kissing the cheek again moving to the neck "...to take care..." Another kiss "...Of OUR child..." He whispers lightly giving another kiss "...The way you take care of me..." He said after a moment before he kissed below the ear before he whispered "...Im sure he will be spoiled..." He said giving a little lick to the males ear with a little growl.

It was true though. The way that Thalion treated him was far better then anyone had ever treated him before. Such simple words and actions meant everything to him. Even though he didnt hear those words of love often he knew they were there and there was no need for them to be said always...even though he would object if it did happen.

There was a little more to what he had said. He didn't want to have to leave. If something went wrong after this ... Like what if the so called cure or fix didn't work. He didn't want to have to do the same thing his own father had done and just up and leave. But doubting things never helped matters anyway. Besides he knew Mizuki wouldn't just give up on him if what he was told to try failed.

"Heh.. if you say so." He doubted this, though he shouldn't really. He had taken care of Neimi and Raden both. Even if he didn't want to admit that he had done a good job on raising either of them from whatever age they were found at. Still this would be different, a baby was something he had never really dealt with aside from the little bit of time he had been around his younger sister.

Though this was when Mizuki seemed to go on a little trying to ensure him that he was right about what he said. Though he didn't get to think too much on it anyway before the other had pushed him back into the wall and started kissing him in different areas between speaking. It was funny to listen to him go one. Though each kiss made him shiver a little before he bit his lower lip as Mizuki licked his ear and spoke near it with a slight growl.

This was when Thalion smirked a little at the spoil comment. Moving he managed to get Mizuki to be the one against the wall. He had pinned both of Mizuki's arms before he kissed his lips pressing against him to keep him there. "Spoil huh..." He said breathing out a little before biting Mizuki's neck lightly. "Not sure why you would ever think I spoil you in the slightest."

Mizuki gasped a little as he was moved and forced into the wall instead of Thalion. Though as he went to move he growled finding his arms held down to his sides from Thalion. The male stepping closer and pinning him to the wall with a flat chest and kisses. Mizuki smiled lightly at the words of the male. "Hmmm..." He said a little "Fine then..." He said with a little growl as he felt the nip to pale skin.

"I am not spoiled..." He said with a smile as he tipped his head back "You hardly treat me right..." He said with a little growl before moving his head down and kissing Thalion on the lips. The kiss was deep and seemingly endless but the need for air took over and Mizuki pulled back. Resting his head on the wall he panted as he looked at Thalion "...what...would you do to correct it?" He asked with a littlw wiggle of his brow.

Mizuki was now enjoying himself. The touches and kisses were one thing but the words and game they seemed to play was a whole different story. Each of them knew what made the other tick so the light touches and words were all what they were supposed to be. Mizuki couldnt help though as he leaned in again and kissed the males neck before moving and biting an ear with a little growl.

A game then it seemed as Mizuki said what Thalion had wanted him to say. Saying he wasn't treated right. Though what made it all the better was when he asked how he was going to correct this. He smirked a little still keeping the other pinned against the wall. Moving a hand to the already loose robe before moving it down till it fell from his shoulders. His own shirt being removed soon after before he moved to keep Mizuki where he was.

"And if I said I have no intention of correcting it?" He said with a tease before Mizuki seemed lean in and kiss his neck once before moving to bite his ear as he bit his lower lip in the process. He moved a hand to Mizuki's pants before loosening them enough to where they slide off and slowly moved his hand along the other's waist line before pressing against him more.

This little game of theirs seemed to carry on as Thalion continued. If anyone saw this they might think the two were serious with their words, hardly the case. "I don't think you can do anything about it if I choose not to correct it... " He said near the others ear before kissing just below it and moving little to nip the other's neck a few times. He heard Mizuki ask why that was and he couldn't help his answer as he looked at the other and spoke before kissing him. "Because I'm stronger then you." Was the words before the deep kiss that followed them. It was true as far as physical strength went. Though Mizuki could always force Thalion off if he choose to.

Mizuki growled a little as he felt the hand move through his robes to pale skin. Then he felt the robes slide down over his shoulders before they fell down his arms then pooled on the floor. He didnt get a chance to say anything though as Thalion removed his own shirt and pressed against him. The skin to skin contact made him gasp even as he tried to hold it back.

Next though he felt that hand brushing his pale skin before both hands moved to untie the hem of his pants before they slid down his hips to pool at his feet. "I don't think you can do anything about it if I choose not to correct it... " He heard Thalion say and he gave a little moan as he felt the nips to the side of his neck.

Now that his hands were free Mizuki moved them to the hem of Thalions pants. Resting his hands on the males hips pale fingers slipped down just under the waist line as he held the strong hips in his hands. He couldnt help the question of why. Why would he not correct it? Though he didnt get the chance to as his knees felt week the moment Thalion spoke "Because im stronger then you..." though Mizuki couldnt help his response "...so show me..." He said with a growl as he bit the males ear a little harsher then usual.

Moving he growled as he removed the males pants in the same way his were removed. From there it was nice and long and drawn out. Neither of them wanted it to slow. No it was something that the two of them wanted to make count. So they did as they took their time and touched and kissed every inch they could before they were finished.

Now they stood there much in the same place from when things began. Mizuki was pushed into the wall with Thalion before him. The males head rested on his shoulder as his head rested on the wall. Both breathed heavy but neither wanted to move. Sighing lightly Mizuki hissed as he moved his leg down from its resting place on the males hip. Leaning in he kissed Thalion "I love you...more then you know" He said lightly.

Moving a little he rested against the wall as his legs felt like jelly at the moment. Mizuki was unsure if he could even move at the moment as everything felt limp and soft. No it was a feet but needed to be done "Well..." Mizuki began "Shall we go to bed?" He asked as he opened his eyes and looked at Thalion "We do have a long day tomorrow" He said with a smile and a nod of his head.

He didn't have to correct it for starters. There was nothing to correct unless you counted the few times that they did get into bouts. Though those were normally cleared up not long after they started. Though it was normal to not agree or understand everything from one another. Though he didn't look at what he did for Mizuki as spoiling though.

It was exactly what needed or should be done for someone you loved and cared for. Though Mizuki's comment only encouraged him to continue the game they seemed to have going. Maybe a way to distract his own mind from worries. Maybe a hidden fear still, even if he wanted to trust that Mizuki was right and nothing would go wrong... he still held the fear that tonight could be the last time that he got to be with the other.

Even after everything was done and it was all they could do to stand there and use the wall as support, it was needed. The contact and everything. After working on perfecting everything they needed to do for the ritual tomorrow... this was needed. He was still getting his breath back as Mizuki spoke. He had to smile a little at the words. "I might have a idea..." He started between a slight breath regaining it a little. "But only because I love you just as much."

Mizuki started to a move a little after that and stated that they should get to bed, and tomorrow was to be a long day. Long was not the word for what tomorrow would be. He wasn't sure what he was feeling about tomorrow. He wanted it to hurry up and get here but he didn't. Though sleep would come easy tonight so maybe his nerves would settle by morning. "Yeah.. lets.."

He started before noticing that Mizuki seemed as weak as he felt as the other didn't move from the wall right away. He smiled a little before moving and picking the other up and carrying him to the bed. Oh course Mizuki protested a little saying he could walk. Though he silenced the other kissing his forehead lightly. "I think I know that.." He said before laying the other on the bed.

If he was lucky him being tired would mean he could fall asleep. If not his mind was going to torment him by running over every step he needed to do tomorrow in hopes it all went perfectly. But he trusted what Mizuki said in that everything would be fine. Nothing would go wrong. He just had to remind himself of that.

The next day came and the couple even though feared the possibility of something going wrong did the ritual. First they were taken to the ritual room. It was a large round stone room with pillars all around. At the head of the room laid a bed, large with four posts and silk. At the end of the bed rested a carriage. It was large with the top covered by an over drape of silk. Up and down the walls old elvish littered them in lines.

Off beside the bed sat every herb, stone, and bug. All rested on a stone table and beside all of those rested a large fire place with a pot over top and water already being boiled. Placing the herbs he needed on the bed Mizuki sat in the middle. Giving a nod to Thalion the couple began their work.

The spell was long and hard and during the entire time he chanted softly Thalion prepared the potion. As he chanted one by one the markings on the wall lit. It was slow and tedious but with every symbol was an order of what was needed. Not only in words but in the potion as well. Hundreds of things were needed in a certain order.

It took the entire day for the two of them to complete their work but as the spell ended he had almost no time to think before the potion was down his throat and soon after Thalion joined him on the bed.

Tired from the spell and the actions the couple laid on the bed panting and breathing hard. Neither could move as the potion started its effects and began to drain what energy the two males had left. Before anything could happen they passed out holding each other cuddled with Mizukis head rested on the males chest.

The next morning came all too swiftly for Thalion. Worry was on both of their minds that something might be over looked or forgotten. None the less they had done all they could to prepare for this and it had to be done now. He had half a thought to ask what happened if things went wrong but he didn't need to worry about that now. The focus had to be that it would go smoothly as Mizuki had so put it.

Once in the room they were to locked in there for the next twenty-four hours. The process was suppose to take all day and night maybe even into the next day. Either way the doors would not be opened until there was word that everything was completed. Once inside they stood there for a moment before Mizuki nodded and they started whatever that needed to be done.

Mizuki chanting the whole time as the markings lit up. If he didn't have the steps of what needed to be done and when memorized so well he might have worried more that he messed up. No he was sure everything was perfect. Even once the spell was over with and he had finished preparing everything else he was sure nothing was out of place or miscalculated.

After the potions and everything was over with it almost felt all he could do was lay there and breath even that felt like it was taking effort. but that was the only warning they had really was that the ritual would take any spare energy they had once it was completed. A forced sleep more or less. It was only after that would they know if everything had worked. or not.

The last thing he remembered was holding Mizuki close though the first thing he noticed was how badly his head was hurting. The effect of having energy drained like that was never a pleasant one. Though the headache wasn't what caused him to finally stir who knew how many hours later. No it was a sudden sound that caused that though it was a odd one as it almost had a echo to it to seemed to repeat itself at times.

Barely managing to sit up before it even clicked what the sound was as his ears went back. That meant.. it worked right everything went like it should? Though a slight panic took over before he checked on Mizuki who was still out of it. He was breathing and calmly so that was a good sign. He let out a breath after that before checking on the crying that was heard.

Though the crying did point out that there was a baby and the spell had managed that. What caused him to freeze a little was the fact that there were two. Was that suppose to happen? Maybe something had gone wrong? But everything seemed to be right and normal. Granted one seemed a heck of a lot more quieter then the other but still. He shook his head a little half still being in shock that this worked let alone that.. it seemed to go over perfectly. So long as Mizuki woke up, though for now he had a job of calming two newborns down.

A job that was easier said then done with two and only one person. The good news was that this room was prepared for this so there was food for the little ones. Blankets and whatever else that would be needed for the time in here. Though he did luck out a little as the female seemed to go to sleep soon after being fed. The male... he seemed a bit more alert and this ended up making Thalion pace the room just to keep him quiet for the time being.

Though the time spent awake slowly turned into a few hours, going through the feeding process at least once more though this time the roles seemed to reverse. Oh this was going to be fun already. After the ritual and everything Thalion really just wanted to curl up on the bed and pass back out. Though Mizuki still seemed to be out of it and it was better he got sleep while he could.

Though it was probably a odd sight if anyone were here to watch. Drows being known for their coldness or not having hearts and here he had pacing the floor just to keep a baby content for the moment. Granted he had no idea what time it was or when Mizuki would wake up. Though he was starting to worry that something had gone wrong and he wouldn't wake ...

After the spell he was tired as it was. Then that combined with the potion all he could do was fall asleep. After that he slept hard. Nothing seemed to make him wake. Even as Thalion moved from the bed he slept soundly. His body was telling him that he needed to recover the energy that he had lost and it was really needed.

It was not until hours after Thalion that he even stirred. Groaning he burried his head into the bed under him. Moving a hand he rubbed at his head before he moved it and sat up. Sitting up he was hunched over with his eyes still closed.

His head felt like he had just went through an ass kicking. He groaned lightly again before he bothered to open his eyes. Still looking down he looked over to the bed beside him and noticed that Thalion was not there. This made his brow krinkle before he moved his head up and looked about the room.

It took him a moment but when his eyes landed on Thalion his heart stopped. There he saw the male walking back and fourth cooing to a small a child in his arms. The ritual had worked... was the first thing he thought of as he looked at Thalion. It was then that the male looked over and caught the fact that Mizuki was awake "Good morning my love" He said with a smile as he moved and left the bed.

Walking over to Thalion he looked at the little babie in the males arms. Pale skin and pointed ears met his view as well as the little mop of white hair that seemed to have flecks of pale red. Mizuki looked up to Thalion with a smile "It worked..." He said lightly before looking back down to the small child.

To be honest he hardly wanted to be moving around this much let alone having to deal with two babies after everything. He wasn't sure if it was the whole thing behind them being linked and he was feeling overly fatigued still from Mizuki or if this was suppose to be normal. None the less every thirty or so minutes he ended up having to switch what he was doing to keep both infants content. Though after a while Mizuki finally seemed to wake up.

"Morning? It could be mid afternoon by how long you've been asleep." He laughed a little weakly, even tired he had enough energy to pick that the other had slept in. Probably to distract himself from the fact he wanted to fall over. Though he was glad that Mizuki finally did wake up, he almost thought that he wasn't going to.

When Mizuki walked over and spoke was when Thalion smirked a little. "Maybe a little too well.." Mizuki seemed to question what he meant by that. This was when he got the other to walk with him over to the carriage so Mizuki could find out for himself what he meant. After they stood there a moment Mizuki never seemed to say anything seeing the second baby. "Unless this was suppose to happen and it wasn't brought up." Though something said that this wasn't suppose to happen. Making one life was probably a feat on its own but two like this.

The little female was sleeping still at the moment with a slightly darker skin tone compared to the other baby. Similar hair coloring though it seemed to have more of a redish tint to the flecks of color in it. Not that it could be seen at the moment but both had maroon colored eyes. In the time he had been up he questioned a thought of what that meant for their sight but that could very well wait.

Mizuki was in shock. The spell and ritual had worked let alone it had worked a little to well. Mizuki was speechless as he gazed down at the young child in the basket then back up to the one in Thalions arms. "No..." He said lightly with a shake of his head "It was not supposed to happen..." He said still in shock "There has never been a case...through out our history where this has happened..." He stated a little though his thoughts ended as he heard a little grunt below him.

Looking down he witnessed the little arms of the female move before those eyes opened. Maroon was the color and Mizuki was amazed. "Hello there..." He said lightly as he bent down and carefully as he could lifted the female into his arms and held her there. Looking down into her face he smiled as he rocked her lightly back and fourth "It maybe interesting..." He said looking up to Thalion "But I am glad it worked..." He said leaning in and kissing the males cheek.

Moving back a little he smiled "So...Daddy..." He said with a little smirk "What shall we name our lovelie bundles of joy?" He asked as he looked down once more to the now cooing babie in his arms. Reaching a hand up he watched as his finger was grabbed by a tiny dark hand and he smiled softly. Moving a little he looked to Thalion "A male and a female..." He said lightly "How blessed could we be?" He asked him with a smile.

Though he paused a moment "Well...seems we need to find two names now..." He said with a little laugh as he began to think about it. There was so many names to choose from. Looking at the male in Thalions arms he gave a smile "What of Nytria for him" He said though when he got the look from Thalion he spoke again "It stands for Diamond dancer in old elvish" He said with a smile.

Turning his gaze down towards the female in his arms he smiled a little. "What about her?" He asked looking up to Thalion. Mizuki felt as though that since he had chosen an elvish name for the male it seemed only fitting to have the male name the young female.

Well good to know that they had pulled off something impossible. Great why did he get the feeling they just signed up for more then they thought they did. "Heh... I am too, I almost thought something had gone wrong with as long as you slept." Though he should have known things were fine. It was mentioned if the other died then he would as well so that should have been a good sign. Not that he had the time to dwell on such thoughts too long after he had woken.

They were blessed, the fact it worked for starters. Let alone the odds were probably against them. It was mentioned there was a chance it could fail even with everything being perfect. Names though... that was something that they never even thought of. Well they had a little but not enough for it to be settled let alone needing two. Probably would have been a good idea to have settled on names before this came to place. Though a bit late now to worry on it.

Though the word daddy was a bit strange... To think it wasn't that long ago he remembered yelling at Neimi that he was fine without a relationship.. let alone this. Though he pushed that amused thought aside for now as Mizuki seemed to think of a name before saying it and explaining what it meant. It seemed fitting enough, he knew the meaning without being told having been forced to learn it as a child. Though if they were going that route with things...

He seemed to think on it a few moments as the female seemed to keep hold of Mizuki's finger almost fascinated by it from the looks of it. "How about Belquiri.." He said still thinking it over. "Dream aura." He was basing that off a few things, the fact there was only suppose to be one babe is any and that she seemed to be oddly be the calmer one of the two. Though that could always change sooner or later.

Mizuki seemed to agree on the names before Nytria yawned. "I think it's safe to say we can finally leave this room, it would be better for these two to get them to bed while they are calm." Though at the same time he knew that they were hardly out of the woods just yet, no this was royal matters they were attending to and that meant the court had to know there was a baby produced or that the ritual went accordingly and all that extra stuff that a baby hardly cared about or wanted.

It was going to be a long day for the four of them he could see that already. Either way Mizuki seemed to agree as they finally opened the doors and walked to where the Queen was waiting. Though by this time both babies were wide awake. A good sign actually that they noticed the room being different and were alert of this.

"How about Belquiri.." Thalion had said after a moment of thinking it over. "Dream aura." Mizuki paused as he looked down at the female. "Yes..." Mizuki said with a little smile as he held the female. It was fitting...really fitting. Mizuki was shocked that the ritual had worked. There had been so many reports and documents on couples trying and failing. Only a few had been so lucky as to birth an heir by these means.

"So...Belquiri and Nytria" He said looking to the male "It is settled" Mizuki said with a little smile though that smile kinda fated a little as Thalion brought up a good point about getting matters settled. With a nod of his head they headed for the door and with a quick spell the double unsealed and opened before the four of them.

Mizuki noticed the squint from each child and the whimper from them at the change of lighting. The lighting of the room was darker then that of the torch lit hallway. Well...that was interesting though Mizukis thoughts became right as they left the tunnels and entered the grand halls. Sun light filled in from either side of the large bridge and as soon as the sun hit young eyes they swelled with tears and the crying began.

Mizuki stopped walking before he looked at Thalion "Well that answers my questions if they had your eyes or not" He said with a smile as the twins wailed. Rocking Belquiri he cooed to her as he began walking again a little faster then before to get them out of the light.

By the time they reached the royal study where the queen and council was waiting the childern were calm once again. Back to playing with fingers or hair. It was a good thing. Mizuki stopped just short of entering the room "I hope your ready for this..." Mizuki said with a smile "The shock is the first thing" He said with a smile before opening the doors.

Walking in Mizuki stood there and the chatter in the room stopped. The queen stood almost instantly "It worked!" She said with a large smile and Mizuki matched that smile "It worked better then you think..." He said and smiled as Thalion walked in.

The entire room fell silent as everyone looked at them. Mizuki knew this was going to happen he didnt however expect some of the council memebers to faint. Even as they hit the floor no one moved and Mizuki turned his head and looked at Thalion. "Well...I was expecting a shock but this is a bit dramatic" He said with a little laugh though as ha finished speaking the room seemed to gather their voices as they began to talk at once. All asking different questions.

He had noticed the slight squint from the pair when they left the room. Though that could have been just a normal reflex. It wasn't until they got out into the light was when his thoughts were confirmed. Mizuki seemed to notice them as well as he spoke up. "Seems so.. They'll adjust quicker being young though." Oh did he remember first venturing out. He hated the light with a passion and never thought he'd get even remotely use to it. He still caught himself wincing at times if he didn't watch it.

He smirked a little as Mizuki said he hoped he was ready for this. "Ready as ever, bit late to be thinking about that now isn't it?" Shock huh? Oh they were going to get a shock alright. Though with that thought he looked down at Nytria who was currently content watching the door. He was more concerned with the reaction after the shock, though with that thought in mind Mizuki open the door before walking in.

Once the room fell silent and a few members of the council seemed to faint on the spot was when Mizuki spoke. Thalion merely shrugged a little. No point in saying anything though he was going to say that most wood elves seemed over dramatic anyway from his experiences here. Though not a moment later was when room seemed to find voices and all of the questions coming at once.

Most he was ignoring as Mizuki seemed hardly able to answer any of them at the rate they were going. They were running together for starters from the level of noise and Nytria and Belquiri seemed to dislike the sudden change from just two talking to a room full. This was going no where fast and it was upsetting the babies more by the second.

"Enough!" He finally forced out seeing as there seemed to be no end to things going on. "Questions are fine if they are given a chance to be answered, a room full asking the same thing over top of one another is not getting anything answered." Though it did get the questions to halt for the time being and in turn the quiet in the room seemed to calm the babies back down that were on the brink of crying again.

Mizuki stood there as question after question came from the people in the room. He sutterd as he tried to answer some of them though he didnt get the chance to answer any. He was about to tell everyone to shove it but Thalion beat him to it. Smiling Mizuki looked to the group "Okay so let me just say this...no we dont know how it happened, they are perfectly healthy and there is a male and a female" He said with a smile.

Removing the blankets from the now semi quite Belquiri he smiled "This is Belquiri and Nytria" He said as he motioned to the female then the male that Thalion had. "So far they are healthy and perfect' He said with a smile as he cooed to the little babie in his arms. "So...there...you saw them, you met them, they are healthy now if you dont mind...it has been along while and it is time for bed" He said before turning and heading out of the room

Mizuki ignored all the protests from the queen telling him that a healer needed to look at them to make sure they were healthy "So send Neimi to my chambers...and two carriages for the babies" He said leaving everyone behind though he knew Thalion was fallowing him "I dont know about you...but I could still sleep" He said with a little laugh as he walked towards their room.

How would they know how or what happened anyway. Heck they were out during the process of the babies even coming into life. Besides that it was their ritual, so they should know more of what happened then they did by any means. Though he was hardly complaining the Mizuki took over explaining that both were healthy and their genders and names.

What did it matter what or how it happened if they were both healthy. Though with that all being said Mizuki seemed dead set on retiring for the evening. Not that he could blame him. Though sleep would not come as easily as he wanted he was sure. Not with two newly born babies anyway. Though at the Queens protest to needing a healer to make sure everything was ok he almost could guess that Mizuki was going to say send one to the room.

once they left the room and Mizuki spoke again Thalion nodded a little. "Don;t talk to me about sleep, I got to figure a lot of things out for the three or so hours you were dead to the world." Though he was teasing the other a little. "Hope you don't expect a full night of rest." Wasn't that the truth.

Either way they got to the room and soon enough Neimi came in with her help for the carriages. Though the help left once they were set up and Neimi was merely standing there a moment before she squeaked finally. "They are so cute!" Yep he saw that coming, she was excitable like that. Though the girl flinched as one of the two babies stirred a little. "I'm sorry.." she said shrinking down a little before she took the little female from Mizuki first and put her on the table where she had a few blankets laid out so she could make sure everything was ok.

It was amazing to think how far Neimi had come in the time here. Though she was still young and could still get overly excited, that was ok though. Lucky for everyone in the room it had been a long day for the babies as well and they seemed more then content to lay there or sleep. Soon enough both were checked and laid down in their carriers before she shook her head a little. "You two.. can't you do anything that's expected? A few of the council are still out cold." She said with a slight laugh.

Though with that she said that they both needed rest and she would check on everyone in the morning.After Neimi left Thalion sighed a little before kissing Mizuki lightly. "Come on you.. before they decide to wake up again." Though he doubted Mizuki would protest the other seemed more tired then he was, though he wasn't sure that the linking process had settled in just yet, probably a good thing for them.

Yes Mizuki knew that a full night of rest was going to be asking for much. Though a part of him could hope right? It was not long before the four of them reached the room and soon after Neimi. Mizuki got a little startled as the female entered the room and all but squeeled her delight. This caused Belquiri to give a whimper and shrink into Mizukis arms some. "Hey hey...say it with me...Inside voice" He said lightly as he rocked his arms quieting the infant.

Mizuki after awhile handed Neimi the baby as the female moved over to the table Mizuki fallowed. He watched as she went over her. Checking everything. Getting the thumbs up Mizuki picked her back up and watched as she did the same thing with Nytria. It was not long after that the female gave another thumbs up. They had two healthy babies.

After awhile of talking with Neimi and putting the kids to bed he yawned as he watched Neimi leave saying her goodnights. They had set the carriages up beside each other and right at the end of the large bed. As Thalion came over and kissed him he sighed and agreed. Yes it was time for bed.

Moving over to the side of the bed Mizuki stripped off his robes. Leaving his pants on he brought his hair over his shoulder before undoing it. Take the brush from beside the bed as he moved and sat down he combed through the hair with a little hum as he closed his eyes. It was a calming feeling for him the brush and the motion.

After awhile Mizuki put the brush back and stood for a second before he cracked his back "Ahhhh yeah..." He said as he slouched a little before turning. Looking he smiled softly as Thalion was already down to pants and in bed with the blankets pulled back. It was an invite he couldnt miss. Moving he crawled into the bed mindfull of his hair before he settled beside the male.

Resting his head on Thalions chest he gave a sigh. Rubbing his hand across the males stomach he rested it across him hugging the male before he curled in as the blankets were covered in around him. "Hmmm....so warm..." He said as he gave a little shiver before tucking his head up under Thalions chin.

Thalion hardly wasted time to get into the bed. No he had deal with kids before. Even though Neimi was about nine or ten at the time she still woke up in the middle of the night after what she had saw and lived through. Though apparently young kids waking up was a normal thing... But babies were well known for waking up every few hours or some every hour.

Either way he removed anything down to his pants and waited on Mizuki to finish with his hair. After a while the other finally joined him. It was half a thought that he was going to mention Mizuki could ask him to do that once in a while.. though at the same time Thalion knew just how much care Mizuki took into his hair. It amused him at times in truth. Not to say he didn't like the other having long hair.

He smirked a little as Mizuki curled under the blankets and seemed to settle more after talking a little. "Good to know I'm useful for something." He said laughing a little as Mizuki seemed to settle more getting comfortable. After Mizuki finally stopped moving he smiled a little, today had been long to say the least. Short but it felt more then long enough. "Night my love.."

The night was longer really. He had lucked out that Mizuki had been so out of it. The other needed sleep worse then he did from having to cast that spell. For tonight at least he didn't mind take shifts for the little ones. Seeing as they both nearly woke up at the same time it made it a bit easier.

Though by morning he had to admit he was tired. To be expected probably. Morning had come all too early and he had just finished laying both of the babies back down as he yawned a little sitting on the edge of the bed again. Not sure if he should bother laying down or not. Knowing how things were it would be only a matter of time before someone said they were needed somewhere.

Though he did wonder how long they were going to stay here. There was still the war going on and there was plenty to do back at the camp. Also he was more then ready to get away from this place and to go back to trying not being called milord every other breath. After that fact was out there was more then a few that had come to him saying that they didn't know and that they needed to apologize for how they acted. Though he hardly paid them any mind...

The night was long and the more sleep that Mizuki got the more he felt tired. It was the off and on sleeping that began to get to him but he would deal with it. The last time in morning when the kids woke Mizuki just didnt stir. No he didnt want to move. Though as Thalion came back to bed and sat on the edge. Moving Mizuki came up behind the male before moving and setting his feet on either side of Thalion.

Rapping his arms around the males chest he sighed a little "You so great" Mizuki said with a smile as he placed a kiss on Thalions cheek 'More then I could ever ask for" Mizuki said as he rested his head on Thalions shoulder.

Mizuki could tell that Thalion was tired. He was to though he knew not as much as the male was that was for sure. "Tell you what.." Mizuki said still hugging the male into his chest with Thalion half laying down Mizuki continued to speak "You stay here and get some sleep" He said lightly 'There is not much to do today...I just have to make some arrangements with the queen" Mizuki said with a little smile "I will get Neimi to help me...." He said lightly.

With a kiss to Thalions neck Mizuki pulled back a little and whispered "Besides...what good are you to be tired?" He asked as he gave the ear a little lick before pulling back. Mizuki knew that Thalion was tired he was to though Thalion seemed more so them himself. So it was all he could do to help the male "I will get something made and sent up to eat for when im done with the queen' Mizuki said with a smile as he snuggled his head into Thalions neck with a little sigh.

Well it was the nice sound of silence for a moment till he heard the other stirring. After a moment he had a head resting on his shoulder after a light kiss. "Hrm? what'd I do now?" He questioned hardly seeing how he had done anything overly special by taking care of some babies over the course of one night. "It wasn't that hard, they slept pretty well actually.." Given that they were newborns and only woke up a few times. Though that could change after a few days as they got more adjusted.

After a moment Mizuki seemed to keep hugging him before getting him to half lay down with him as he spoke. He started to protest to Mizuki saying he could take care of things. He wasn't sure how much Mizuki knew on babies or children or anything of that matter. Though mentioning Neimi would help made him feel a bit better, also he knew Mizuki was still recovering.

"What arrangements?" He had to ask, for one he never trusted royals and after the mess they had gone through he still wasn't too trusting of any of them no matte where they were from or what race. There was still half a thought that he could stay up still, not like things were going to get easier and besides he didn't mind staying away when there was something to do. Not like it was the first time.

Well Mizuki had a point after he sighed a little giving up this fight and turning his head a little after the light kiss to his neck. "Yeah.. true." Though he did normally sleep in he was hardly one to rest for extended periods of time. Though he was waiting for Neimi to come in here and start telling him he needed the rest as well.

"You better hurry back." He said with a slight smile looking up at Mizuki as the other seemed to move a little to start to get up. Though he had to admit he was thinking on a few things. What if the war went badly still? The last thing he wanted was to leave two babies without their parents. Also he was wondering when the link between himself and Mizuki was going to kick in. It hadn't yet he knew that much.

He smiled after awhile before he went to get out of the bed. He blew a little kiss to Thalion as he saw the male watching. Mizuki went about what needed to be done. Getting dressed he brushed his hair and braided it before tieing the end off and throwing it over his shoulder so it landed down a thigh brushing the tops of his knees.

After he got dressed he got a guard and sent for Neimi. Right away as soon as a healer was requested the questions came if the babies were okay if anything was wrong and it took Mizuki a little while to convince the guard that everything was fine. Though as he did the male left and soon after returned with Neimi in toe. "Is everything okay?" The female asked as she saw Mizuki standing outside of the room waiting for the female.

Mizuki sighed a little "Everything is fine..." He stated "I just need your help for awhile" He said and at this got a questioning look from Neimi. "I am forcing Thalion to sleep so I need your help with the babies while I talk with the queen" Mizuki said and Neimi nodded her head "Alright I can do that!' She said in a happy voice. Yep Mizuki knew that she was the right person to ask.

"Be quit now..." He said to her as he turned and entered the room. Walking over Mizuki gathered Nytria into his arms and smiled down at the baby before motioning towards Belquiri who was wide awake kicking about. Moving over to the bed he smiled down at a sleeping Thalion. Leaning over he kissed the male on the forehead before he stood and headed out the door with Neimi in toe.

Dealing with the queen had taken Mizuki longer then he thought it would. But when he was finished he was sure that Thalion could go for some good news. So from there he headed to the kitchen and placed his order of food to be sent to his room. He was not planning on leaving it for the rest of the night. When that was finished Neimi and himself headed for his chambers.

About the time he was finished with everything the evening hours were approaching. He was tired and he knew he showed it with half lidded eyes and ears dipped back as he hugged Nytria to his chest as he walked. The little baby male was sitting on Mizukis arm as he leaned into the males chest with his hands curled by his face just sleeping away. To make sure the male didnt fall Mizuki had his other arm up and holding a small back as he made little rubbing motions.

Reaching the room Mizuki entered first and as he saw Thalion standing by the fire place he smiled softly before he walked in fallowed by Neimi. Carefully the both of them put the sleeping children into the carraiges "Well...that was an eventfull day" He said as he stretched his arms and cracked his back. Turning to Neimi he smiled at the female "Thank you for your help..." He said and she smiled at him "No problem but I need to go and gather things now so I will see you 'lords' tomorrow!' She said with a little giggle before leaving the room and softly closing the doors behind her.

Mizuki then moved over to Thalion and placed his head on the males shoulder "So...how did you rest?" Mizuki asked with a soft voice. Mizuki knew that he had been gone for most of the day but it was worth it in the end. As the male spoke he smiled lightly before he moved from the spot he was in to sit down in one of the large plush chairs infront of the crackling fire. Moving so he lifted a leg up he rested it on his other knee as he began to rub his own sore feet.

"Well...I have good news for you" Mizuki said after a moment or two when the male asked what the news was. "Arrangements have been made and within a few days we head back home" He said with a smile as he looked up at the male "Supplies will be gathered as well as forces..." He said with a smirk to him before looking back down to his foot as he rubbed over sore places "Not to mention supplies and healers..." He said with a little laugh.

It had taken Mizuki the longest time with the queen to convince her that he needed to head back and take care of everything with the eastern king. Though after awhile of almost yelling he did convince her that he was leaving with or with out her blessing. So with that she agreed though only with forces fallowing and Mizuki smirked. That was his plan. So from there they decided on what he was going to take and how many troops of each. He managed a group of ten healers, fifty worriors, and fourty mages. Not to mention the supplies the queen wanted to send with him. All of this was explained to Thalion as he sat there.

He'd say he was forced to sleep though he hardly fought it and seemed to easily fall asleep once Mizuki left the room anyway. He didn't even notice Neimi and Mizuki come back into the room to get the babies. Probably a good thing, he needed the sleep and it was the only time his mind stopped worrying for a bit. Not always though, he'd probably wake up later with some worry or another.

After a while he did wake up but that was because he seemed to sleep longer then he intended to. Mizuki still wasn't back? Well he'd be back sooner or later he guessed as he sighed a little going over a few troubled thoughts. The main one being what if what he was told didn't work. With that last spell he knew that his time was limited and he needed to fix this. Though it was already being forced to wait till the war was over. No point in starting a new war within the current.

Thalion glared at Neimi at the mentioning of the word lords. She was doing that on purpose. Though it did finally distract him from his thoughts seeing as he was blankly watching the fireplace. He'd stop worrying someday, maybe. Ok probably not. He breathed out a little at Mizuki's question. "Well enough." Missed things being simple, things like this were.. not in his tastes to say the least.

Mizuki spoke up shortly after saying there was good news and right away started explaining it. Home was the best news he had heard in a while. The addition of troops and supplies was even better. That gave them a rather respectable force. Still out numbered by the King's army but that was expected. But with healers they had a better chance and mages for ranged.

Though after Mizuki explained how that conversation had went and he had convinced the Queen he was leave and thats when she said he was only allowed to if he took troops. Ah yes a question then, one he had thought of before but never really seriously about. So after the war... what then?" Like they were going to win it or something, ok they could.

He meant what would happen after the war, it was probably expected Mizuki return here. But it was that thought that worried Thalion a little. Not wanting to leave Mizuki he'd be forced to come here as well, maybe he could fix relations with the two races, though that would take time. Though a moment later he shook his head a little. "Forget I asked that, we have this war to win first."

What then...Yes that was a question that Mizuki himself often found hismelf asking. Though the only thought that came to mind was his family that he had now. Nothing mattered as to what happened as long as they were together...right? Well at least that is what Mizuki thought. "To be honest..." Mizuki began as he gave a little shurg of his shoulders before he picked his other foot up and did the same treatment to it as the other before he continued "I...dont know" He said a little.

After that the room was silent so Mizuki thought that he should try and make his answer more clear "Well I mean...many things could come from this war" He said after he finished with his foot he stood with a little groan. Walking over to Thalion he rapped his arms around the male with a smile "All I do know is as long as I have you..." He said before looking to the carriages of the sleeping babies "And them..." He said before looking back "It does not matter what happens" He said as he leaned in and gave the male a little kiss.

Pulling back he smiled to Thalion "Who knows...so manyt things could come from this..." He said lightly with a tilt of his "Maybe...after awhile..." Mizuki began before he paused "We could be at peace" He said with a smile before he leaned in and kissed Thalion before him. It was a long drawn out slow and deep kiss as he moved his arms up around the males neck and shoulders.

However their little moment was broken by a knock at the door. Pulling back he gave a little growl. Moving away from Thalion he walked to the door with a scowl on his face. He would of screamed across the room to whoever was there to leave them be but the babies stopped that. Reaching the door he opened it and saw the guard on the other side "What now..." He asked and the male stuttered a little "Um...your food Mi'lord" He said and Mizuki smiled. He had forgot about that "Aww yes...bring it in" He said before he stopped "Quietly though...by the gods if you wake those babies..." He said to the little group of men that held dishes.

Walking into the room he motioned for the food to be placed at the table off to the side where two chairs sat. After the food was placed and the males left Mizuki smiled to Thalion "Well...shall we eat while we have a chance?" He asked with a smile before moving and sitting down at the table. Mizuki had noticed that the kids woke anywhere was 3-4 hours after falling asleep so if Mizuki was right they had about another two or so hours before they would have to deal with young ones again.

It was true a lot could come of this, good, bad and otherwise. He nodded a little closing his eyes as Mizuki tried to explain that better. "Thats true.." He finally said as Mizuki said as long as they were all together nothing else really mattered. Though he smiled at the thought of some of the options they might have. "I swear if I get called lord or something referencing royal a few more times I might snap though as a warning." Though he was jesting... ok maybe not as much as he should be.

"Peace seems like a fools dream." He had reason behind such words. So long as there was life on this world there would never be true peace. Even someone alone could fight among themselves. "Maybe for a while though." He said before Mizuki kissed him. Though it was short lived contact as he had barely moved to keep the other close in his own arms as a knock was heard. Mizuki growling a little made him smile shaking his head. "Better get use to that." He said teasing.

This was fun to watch really. Seeing Mizuki snap at the poor guard and warn the lot of them to not wake the babies. He had half a mind to tell Mizuki the odds of them waking up if they were truly asleep were slim to none at this age. When they got a bit older it was another story but for now they could sleep through a war near about.

He sighed a little after things were settled and Mizuki spoke up about eating while they could. "Might be a good idea" Ah yes times like this the two would soon learn to make the most of, as the children got a bit older they would have less time to spend really. With the babies staying awake more and being more active. Though maybe they had some time to spare before that, though he questioned how long with the known fact they were suppose to age a little faster. But that was suppose to stop after a certain age as well.

After a few days things were gathered, supplies and troops and they made way to return to the main camp where the final stand would be. Things had to be planned out and the different troops had to get use to fighting with one another. For the first time in years multiple races were fighting for one cause. It was almost amazing in its own way.

The sight of the camp entrance was one that had not come a moment too soon. Though there was a lot to take care of and more then anything he wanted to know how things had fared and what reports the scouts had brought back. That would let them know how close the King was to finding this place and how much time they had.

Thalion was carrying Belquiri at the moment as Neimi was busy cooing at Nytria. In her mind it was like having new siblings seeing as she had lived with Thalion for so long. Raden would be in for a shock at the least seeing as the male treated her like a younger sister. It was a odd family and it had been expanded a little. Though it was more amazing to her how big the two were getting already. They weren't but a few days old and they were trying to work on sitting up already.

The trip had been a long one. With the childern teleporting was not an option. They had to travel the whole way so that added more time then what was wanted for the group. By the time the camp entrance came into view the entire group was happy. Carts and men walked and traveled in a large group as they headed for the entrance.

Mizuki was busy talking with some men as they walked so he was happy when Neimi offered to take Nytria so he could do his work faster. He was greatfull for it as he walked and talked. By the time they reached the camp it was late afternoon early evening. Mizuki knew there had been a report of their return and he was right as they entered the caves and everyone was starting to gather around to welcome the group home.

Mizuki smiled as he said his hellos as he walked in. He met and talked with alot of them though the one that he saw next he hugged "About time you got home" Luna said as she stepped back looking to Mizuki. Mizuki smiled "Oh yes...its good to be home trust me" He said with a little laugh though he stopped at the smile that was on Luna's face. "What?" Mizuki asked as he tilted his head.

Luna smirked some more before she crossed her arms "Oh...things have changed" She said with a smile and Mizuki laughed a little "Oh you have no idea my dear...none" He said as he nodded his head. Luna raised a brow at this "Oh I bet you mine beats yours" She said and Mizuki smirked "I bet not" He said with a smile and Luna laughed a little "We shall see..." She said lightly "However...im not the only one that wants to say hello" She spoke.

Mizuki tilted his head at this 'What on earth are you-" Though his words were cut off as it took him everything to keep his balance as he was tackled by some one who shouted his name "MIZUKI!" He heard before he looked down at the male in his arms. "Oh...Why hello there Needren!" He said with a little laugh.

Needren held onto him for a while as he burried his head into Mizukis back "We have been apart for so long!" He said and Mizuki laughed "It has not been that long you know" He said lightly though Needren pulled back and looked at him though still held him "Are you kidding me!" He said "Its been ages..." This was when he leaned in a little and whispered into Mizukis ear "To long infact..." He said before pulling back and giving a kiss to a pale cheek.

Mizuki stood there frozen. Before something like that kiss to the cheek he would of brushed off and called the male crazie or something. Though right now he didnt know what to do. Alot has changed from those times.

The trip was a long one, more then long actually. Though he was hardly going to complain that they did not have to use magic to get back. No any excuse to avoid traveling in such a way was a good one if you asked him. Though two infants with them hardly made things easier to travel either. But none the less they made their way home finally. Well if you could call it that. It wasn't anywhere he wanted to stay forever but it had been home for quite a while now.

For the time being Neimi had little Nytria and the baby seemed ok with this. Neimi cooing at the baby and talking almost none stop. After a while when they got to the gates she laughed a little before saying welcome home like the babies knew what she was talking about. Oh was it good to be back here. Away from all the royal fussing and ... wait he was still going to have to deal with a bit of that wasn't he.

None the less the group was welcomed and Mizuki was busy talking with Luna for a moment. This was when Neimi quickly found Raden and forced the poor male to hold a baby. Though she was correcting his arms right away as she rolled her eyes before saying the baby's name and such. Raden hardly looked thrilled to be holding a baby, though having one forced on you in such a way was probably a bit unsettling. Not that Nytria seemed to care one bit.

This was when Felix looked at Thalion after watching Neimi and Raden. "We adopting babies now?" Thalion laughed weakly before shaking his head. "There is a bit of a tale behind that... it might be best explained in length." Felix laughed a little before agreeing on this, though by this time Needren had tackled Mizuki saying how much he had missed him and stuff. This hardly caused him to really blink much on the sight. It was what followed after that made him question that such a thing did not just happen. Luna had moved back from Mizuki a little so Needren didn't tackle her in the process but she wasn't that far away still.

Mizuki hardly seemed to do anything besides stand there. After everything and he was just standing there? Let alone Needren seemed to have one of those grins like he was planning something more. There was going to be one thing that was straightened out right here and now before things went any further.

Walking past Luna he paused a little before asking her to hold Belquiri. Luna started to protest but seemed to pause after a moment and finally agreed to taking the baby. Probably right away knowing who the baby belonged to with her being dragonkin and all. This was when Thalion walked towards Mizuki and Needren still clinging to him.

Grabbing Needren by the collar his ears went back a little. "We haven't even been back five minutes and you kiss someone else's mate? Let alone in front of the babes as well?" Considering things Needren might be lucky Thalion didn't just punch him straight away. It had crossed his mind though, but he'd wait for the smart remark so he had a valid reason to knock his head off where he stood.

Mizuki was in shock as everything played out before him. He should of expected something like that to happen but when it did he didnt know what to do. It was not until Thalion all but grabbed Needren before he even moved gasping a little as he took a step back.

Needren growled as he looked at Thalion before him though as the male spoke he stopped his movememnts. "Mate....babies...' He said looking past Thalion. Sure enough he saw to young childern around him though that didnt stop the words from coming out of his lips. "Huh so your adopting strays now huh..." He said with a little laugh before he growled "Also...why would some one like him..." He said looking to Mizuki "Lay with some one like...you" He said with a little growl.

Mizukis mind began to think over responses to that but Needren spoke again "Surely you can not make me believe that he would willingly lay with you let alone choose to create a family with you" He said with a laugh "Thats funny" Needren said as he pushed Thalion away "He is to good for you" He said in a hiss glaring at Thalion.

Oh that was it! Mizuki had had enough of this little conversation. Walking taking the steps needed he headed for the males "Looks hes coming to tell you him-" But his words were cut off as he stumbled to the side with an enraged Mizuki before him "How dare you!" He stated with a hiss "Who the hell do you think you are?!" He said "Telling my husband and father of my childern that he is not good enough for me! Where the hell do you get the nerve!?" Mizuki asked before punching the male again.

"I have told you time and time again Needren...you...me...N.e.v.e.r....will happen" He said with a glare that could make ice shiver "Do I make my self clear?" He said with bawled fists "If I hear you speak ill of my family again there will not be a hole small enough for you to crawl into" He said with a hiss before turning on his heel. Walking over to Luna he took Belquiri and began to walk off. Though he knew he was not alone as Luna fallowed him and he was sure that Thalion would as well.

There was some things that he needed to do and it was going to take a little bit of time. Right now however at the moment he wanted nothing more then to get away from the male that made him so angry.

Needren was just going to keep going on wasn't he?It might have been a good thing Mizuki stepped in when he did or Needren might have found out Thalion's real thoughts on all of this and everything he had said. Nope before Thalion could even think of what he wanted to do first to put this male in his place Mizuki had already done so.

Let alone telling him that they would never be, apparently this had been a conversation they had had before. Though after a moment Mizuki stormed off and Luna followed behind him after he had taken the baby from her. Needren still seemed like he was in shock at the moment.

"Well it seems you have a answer." He said before walking off to make sure Mizuki wasn't going to do anything too drastic. Though he seemed ticked that was certain. Neimi half dragged Raden to follow seeing as he still had the other baby. More like she was forcing him to hold the baby. Saying it'd do him some good for later in life.

Mizuki walked though he paused a moment to allow Thalion to catch up to him "Im sorry...I may regret this later but...its better then killing the male" He said as he handed Belquiri to Thalion. Turning he continued walking even ignoring the words that came from Luna and Thalion. Right now his mind was more then angry and he needed to get some frustrations out and the best way for that is for him to waste what energy he had left.

With that thought he found himself infront of the little shop. Well...little for now. Telling the group to stop and step back he began his spell. It took him some time to do it but when it was finished he smiled a little looking at the much larger place before them. The shop was still attached to the front though the back of it was larger. Now with a large room that had a smaller attached to it. As well as a larger bathroom and a room for Neimi not to mention a room for Luna as well as a kitchen and living area.

Mizuki's knees wobbled a little. To get everything the way he wanted it to go it took more energy then he thought it would but he was glad it was finished. His anger was gone and he sighed as Luna spoke up behind him "So...I think you won the bet" She said with a smile and Mizuki just laughed weekly "Come in side and we will have some tea...and I will explain everything he said as she came up and helped him inside. He didnt protest to the help.

Taking the baby from Mizuki he heard the other say that this was better then killing Needren. "I dunno about that." Was the semi smart remark before he questioned what Mizuki was doing. Though Luna had beat him to asking that. Not that she got a answer from Mizuki. Well might as well keep following him to make sure he didn't hurt himself.

Though the question was answered as Mizuki seemed to stop in front of the little shop and the house attached to it. Oh he could see where this was going. Mizuki had done something similar when they needed to expand the area for the other troops. Though it was a heck of a way to take out any anger he had that was for sure.

Once everything was finished and Mizuki seemed to stand there though a little weak looking, though Thalion could tell this better then anyone. The last few days had been when the link between them had really started to kick in and make itself noticed. Well... that solved a problem they had talked about on the trip here. Granted this wasn't in the way he thought it would be fixed but still.

He was glad Luna helped Mizuki walk though seeing as he still had a baby. Neimi finally took the other little one from Raden as he stepped back right away so she couldn't change her mind. This was about when Luna said Mizuki had won the bet she had spoken of earlier. Though Neimi waited a moment before looking towards Thalion and speaking up. "So why can't you do anything useful like that?" She was just teasing but she followed Luna and Mizuki none the less.

Thalion stood there a moment with Raden as he shook his head a little. "Well apparently I do nothing useful." Raden laughed a little knowing Thalion wasn't taking that serious. Though never the less Thalion let out a heavy breath before following the others. Raden said he needed to get back to his post seeing as things were settled. Not like he lived with them, he had moved out once he was able to.

Neimi still had the other baby as she was watching Luna and Mizuki. Well this would take some getting use to. Not everyday a building you were use to the layout of got expanded. At the least he didn't have to deal with being called lord here. Though he did wish that Mizuki had given a bit of a warning seeing as the lack of energy the other had at the moment wore on him a bit now.

From there Mizuki had showed the small group where and what room each of them had. Mizuki had the layout in his head for some time now so he was glad that he had the chance to do it even if it was when he didnt have the energy to do it with. That at the moment didnt matter. No he needed the anger gone and that was that.

From there tea was had after the kids were put to bed and Mizuki and Thalion explained everything to Luna. The female taking everything in stride as she listened to what was said "So let me get this right...You are gone for a little over four months and you come back married to Thalion with two kids and the future king of the elven people?" Luna asked with a nod of her head and he nodded his as well.

Leaning back into her chair with her arms crossed she sighed a bit "Well then..." She said lightly. Looking to Thalion she smirked a little "I knew you were good for something" She said with a smirk before she got some smart remark from Thalion though she didnt expect anything the less "Oh and just so you know you hurt him...ever...your dead" She said with a growl and a glare though this caused Mizuki to laugh "You dont need to worry about that..." Mizuki said looking to Thalion "...trust me..." He said leaning in and kissing a dark cheek before sitting back.

Just as he was about to say something else he didnt have the time until a cry was heard from the other room. "Well...thats my cue" He said with a sigh as he stood and headed for the room. After a few moments he returned again with Belquiri the female still whimpering in his arms as he rocked lightly before sitting down beside Thalion again "Some ones a little cranky" He said looking down to the female in his arms as she gave a pout and a sniffle looking at the two of them.

After that it took him some time to talk with Luna before Belquiri decided it was time for bed again. This time Mizuki agreed. Saying his good night to the female he watched her leave for her room as Thalion and himself entered theres. It was a simple room. One large four poster bed at the head of the room, a fire place rested at the end of the bed. On either side of the bed rested two doors. One led to a bathroom and the other to the childs room where the carriages sat close to one another.

It took him a moment or two before he put the little girl back to bed and he was greatfull that Nytria didnt stir as he did. Heading out of the room he hummed lightly to himself in his tired state as he changed his clothes to some loose fitting pants before grabbing a brush from beside the bed. Cracking his neck tired fingers began to untie the large braid "Mmmm it feels good to be back" He said with a soft yawn and a smile as he ran pale fingers through white hair getting the larger nots out before he even thought of brushing it back for the night.

Sure he knew Mizuki had talked about expanding this place though it seemed he had a full scale layout for some time not even having to think twice on the rooms and everything. Though he still would have enjoyed a warning before he went about depleting all of his energy like that. They were both still getting use to the link they had now.

Though after the little ones were settled and tea was made was when the real fun came. Starting with explaining everything that had taken place over the past four months. Neimi sat with them just listening. Sure she was there but it was fun for her to listen how things went. Hard to think all of this happened in a four months span.

After Mizuki seemed done was when Luna spoke up. Though Thalion huffed a little as she said she knew he was good for something. "Last I recalled there were two certain people begging me for help.. pretty sure I'm good for a few things." Referring back to when they needed Mizuki to be broken out of the King's holding cell.

Though her warning came on deaf ears as he glared back at her and started to say something but Mizuki spoke up saying that she didn't need to worry before kissing him. That calmed some of his slight temper from her threat as he crossed his arms. Like he wanted to hurt Mizuki, nearly getting killed a few times already for the other it should have been obvious.

Once Mizuki seemed to return with the crying female Thalion sighed a little at the words. "I would be too.. it's been a long day and the light changes are probably something that will take a bit of time." Even though they had tried to keep things dim in the room they were in. Mizuki still had to see about the rest of the house and they needed to get use to it sometime.

He had waited for Mizuki to get back before he bothered to even get near the bed. To be honest he was still tempted to punch Needren the next time he saw the other. Though he breathed out a little trying to ignore that urge. No point in getting that worked up after the verbal beating Mizuki had given him. Not unless he proceeded with such acts.

After Mizuki sat down and started working on the knots in his hair was when Thalion moved a little moving what hair was in the way before rubbing the other's neck lightly but putting enough pressure to help relax him. "hrm.. it is." He started before laughing lightly at his thoughts. "Is it sad the first thing I can think of doing is cooking? No more having to deal with some servant for a while at least.." Yes that annoyed him. Having to order someone around or say what he felt like eating. It was easier just to make it himself.

Still rubbing the other's neck he placed a light kiss on his cheek before letting him continue with his hair. Tomorrow was going to be the start of things being somewhat normal. Training needed to be done and Thalion was looking forward to that. It had been too long or it felt like it had been. Though he also needed to figure out some way that training could be done along with the babies involved. Mizuki would have the same said issue.

"Hmmmmm...." Mizuki gave a sigh as his hair was moved and he felt Thalions hands on his neck. The light pressure and rubbing motions on his neck made his eyes close as he hung his head a little. Yes that was a nice feeling and it made him relax more then he thought it would. Yes there was no arguing there it did feel good. After the light kiss and Thalion moved away Mizuki brushed his hair.

After that the two settled down in the bed with a sigh as they cuddled into each other. It was good to be back but at the same time he was not looking forward to the days to come. No from here it would be a balance of trying to raise the babies as well as training. It would be an interesting task to say the least.

As time ticked by it went from hours to days and the balance between training and the kids had taken all of spare time that the two males had. The only time they seemed to manage together was the time at night before bed and even then some times that time was limited.

By this time the two babes were no longer that. Well they were but larger about the size of a one year old. Sleeping longer during the night was a thing that Mizuki was greatfull for. It gave him more time to spend with Thalion as well as more time to go through different spells and training of his own.

Though right now he was in the house going about doing different things. Now that the kids were bigger Mizuki took the liberty of watching them alone some times as Thalion had been busy with training some different groups on expanding as well as getting the place ready for battle. They didnt want to take any chances.

Mizuki was currently going about the house and gathering different herbs here and there from the shelfs he had made. He was getting things ready for a tea he needed to calm down a little bit. He had been moving for awhile now and due to bad timing had not seen Thalion for a little while. Not to mention the fact that he had his own training he needed to do for himself. Every moment he had he had trained his spells that he learned while away at the capital.

Things did get a little easier as the babies grew older, they aged quickly and would do so for a while. Though this still hardly meant things were easy for the lot of them. Even with Neimi and Luna helping every so often they almost had no free time. It was spent on training or the babies. Nights were the only time they really even got to see one another aside from during some meals and in passing every so often.

Over the time Thalion had picked up in training a lot of the fighters. He still took up working on repairs for weapons and armor when he got the chance but most of the time that was more or less turned into ordering who was better at such tasks to repair what needed it. No he was more focused on training and the defenses around the area to ensure that at least some of the King's forces would be taken care of before they got to this area.

Even at nights when they saw one another Mizuki seemed distracted and they were both worn out. Apparently at times forgotten that they were linked so with them both training by the time evening rolled around they were more then spent. Plus on top of that not every night did the babies sleep through...

This evening seemed to be no different as he had been watching Mizuki pace back an forth for a while collecting odds and ends and a few times seemingly forgetting what he walked to the other side of the room for. This was when he finally sighed after sitting there a while and moved over to where Mizuki was. He stopped Mizuki grabbing his arm so he could finally be noticed. "Stop.. for one night at least." He was almost pleading with him to rest a little.

He knew Mizuki had to train, he had to as well but they were both running on nothing by now being worried and stressed that things had to be perfect. Besides that he was tired of never getting to see the other. Taking a little bit of time to relax wouldn't hurt, it might help in fact... though something told him Mizuki would not agree to this.
