Beltran nodded as Thalion spoke "Yes hes dense we know this" He said with a smirk as he moved and grabbed a large pillow from the bed. Moving he threw it onto the floor. From there he laid down with a huff "Tomorrow is going to be one of the longest days you have had in awhile. The wait to the evening alone will be a challenge" He said as he gave a sigh before crossing his arms up and under his head "Either way you need more sleep then I do" He said "So go and take the bed"

Beltran wouldnt take no for an answer and Thalion had found that out after awhile. So as he laid down and told the male to take the bed Thalion smirked before doing just that. It was true though tomorrow as going to be a very long day "Good night Thalion" Beltran said as he laid there on the floor "Tomorrow comes early" He said as he closed his eyes and hummed lightly to himself.

The day came all to early though it started just like any other day. Chores and papers were taken care of. Troops were looked after and the things from town had been grabbed. Though during the whole day neither of the two saw anything of Mizuki. The time of seeing Mizuki had slimmed down from constantly to nothing. Though the thought that they would be out of here soon was the only thing on peoples minds.

Now the hour was getting late and Beltran was in his room with Thalion as he was adding the last touched to the males outfit. Thalion was dressed to the hilt and even had his hair semi done. He even had glitter on the dark skin giving the male a shine in some ways. Beltran after he stepped back looked Thalion over with a hand on his chin "Now...I must say you do look good enough to eat" Beltran said before he dodged a punch from the male.

Over the time spent together Beltran and Thalion had become friends. Though he loved to tease the male and see the reactions from the comments that he made. It was funny to him and he loved it! "Either way" He said with a smirk "You look the part" He said with a smile "So...remember the plan" He said the smile on his fave gone as he stood there "I take you there...but then I am going to leave" He said "Once you are finished with your plan knock three times on the door and the guards will lead you from there" Beltran said with a smile.

Then he moved away before heading over to the table. That is when he grabbed a little potion and walked back over "This...will knock father out for a couple hours" He said "More then enough time for you to get from here to the boat and out to see before he awakes he said lightly with a nod of his head "Put it in his wine..." Beltran sighed a little "with the alcohol added it will kick in faster" He said with a nod.

This was when he looked to Thalion "Remember our promise" He said to him "I dont know why you want to kidnap father instead of killing him but..." He said lightly "I trust you know what you are doing none the less" He said with a smile "You just need to keep your promise and make sure he dies" Beltran with a growl before he walked over to the door "Oh and one last thing" Beltran said before he turned and with out warning he hugged Thalion.

"I am sorry it took so long but I did it in the time that I could" He said before pulling back "Restore you family Thalion" He said lightly with a smile before he moved and opened the door. On the other side was a guard that was there to leas Thalion to the king "Good luck...and keep in touch..." He said lowly just for the male to hear. "Now go and do ans your king orders" Beltran said with a little glare and he smirked as Thalion nodded his head "Yes master" He said before the male left the room.

He had learned not to fight with the male over the past year. Being as stubborn as he was it was pointless to do so. Though a bed hardly helped him sleep anymore then if he was in the floor. No his mind was all over the place. He wanted to get tomorrow over with so things could start to be corrected once more.

Though tomorrow came and seemed to pass by before they knew it into the evening hours. This was where Thalion hated the plan. This outfit... normal clothes oh for the love of god a normal shirt hell he would settle for a sleeveless shirt at this rate just anything covering. He wanted to cringe knowing he was stuck in this for a while at the least.

Though after the final touches were made and Beltran seemed to look it over Thalion stood there waiting for a comment. At the one the other said he punched towards him. Though hardly trying, if he was he probably would have hit the other. "Yeah ... well you better memorize this moment cause it is the last time you'll see it." That he was for sure on.

He nodded remembering the plan as he went over it either way. Though he listened as he explained the potion and how it worked. Though at the other's words of trusting he knew what he was doing. "Oh I know what I am doing... you still have my word that he will die." He smirked a bit at the thought, yeah once he was done with him and ran out of ways to keep the male a breath from death. No even then he could see him keeping him alive for a while longer.

Though Beltran moved and he wasn't expecting the other to hug him and speak again. He flinched a little before freeing himself of the other. "Yeah yeah.. don't get sentimental on me now." He knew that he had done things as quickly as he could. He couldn't ask for anything further really. "Heh, you fix this mess you call a kingdom." Though he would try to keep this connection. It would be good for both kingdoms with the fae under new rule.

None the less they left the room and headed towards the kings room. This was it, everything had to go according to plan. Though or he was just going to force the potion down the mans throat. But none the less this was going to happen and he was not going to fail after going through all of this for so long.

It took no time to be dropped off at the room and whatever his father's tastes were Beltran seemed to please them. Oh he wanted this to be over with. Though what really caused him to nearly fail on this plan was Mizuki over to the side in chains and bloodied a bit from beatings. Though there was something else... the males eyes, they were defeated yes but they were not as lifeless as they normally were. Chained to the floor bent over a wooden post that was holding him in that position.

Never the less he knew his plan and how to make it happen. It was a waiting game an to make sure nothing got out of hand before that... shudder at the thought.

Luck was with them as things went almost too smoothly and getting the potion in the wine was too easy. This lord had no idea, whatever world he lived in in his mind must be a clouded one to think that certain spirits could be broken so and that his followers loved him.

The guards helped as Beltran said they would. Getting the group of three out and to the carriage where Nytria and Beltran's sister would be. Everything after the potion taking effect happened so fast he still wasn't sure that it even happened at all. The king was still out of it and bound. Like hell he was taking chances, let alone he worked a quick rune on the cuffs to make sure that the male could not break them. Or Mizuki for that matter.

Beltran had helped as far as he could. Everything was timed and planned down to the last second. Nothing could be amiss. It was planned so that by the time the king was out with Thalion and Mizuki the guards would change. That was when he knew that things would change and everything would be in an uproar. It was only a matter of time before it happened and he knew it would be to much food for thought if he was gone as the king was found missing.

Everything went as planned and now the five of them reached the carriage in a rush. Nytria was the first to notice the group of men that came towards the carriage. From there Nytria ran towards the group as he saw Thalion with Mizuki on his back "Dad!" He said as he moved towards the male though he stopped "Hows papa?" He asked lightly though as Thalion gave a little shook of his head he growled a little. "Well come on you guys we need to keep time" The princess said as she stood half way out the carriage door.

At that Nytria turned before looking back to Thalion "Come on...lets go" He said before moving to the carriage. This was was when the king was thrown in the luggage part of the carriage as the other four got into the back part. As soon as the door was closed the carriage was off and on its way. It took everything in Nytrias power to keep as he was sitting there across from Thalion and Mizuki with the sister. He sat there and watched as Thalion held onto Mizuki almost for dear life.

The entire night Mizuki was there but not. His eyes held a hint of color though he didnt act as if he knew what was going on. In a way he was there and in a way he was not. It was not until they almost reached the boat that his eyes took on the full color just dimmed.

Mizuki could feel the warmth of something him. The hands and the feeling told him it was something or rather some one he knew. Though ha had that dream more often lately. One that he was there and being rescued and that everything was okay only to realize a few moments later it was nothing but a dream. So the moment he was in right now made him think about more things then one. Was it real? Was he really in Thalions arms? Moving his head Mizukis eyes turned to that of Thalions and he was lucky as he got the ember orbs "Thalion..." He said after a moment.

Things went flawless, the timing just everything. He couldn't have asked for anything to go over any more perfectly. At the least something was going right. About damned time of it too. Now it was down to the last bit and everything was still in place. They just had to get to the boat and they would be as good as home free. Thalion dared anyone standing in the way at the docks.

At the least Mizuki wasn't fighting him. He was waiting for the spell to make up its mind on if it was going to release Mizuki or claim him again. If it did claim him then they knew they would have to bind Mizuki and ensure he could not use spells. Though he wanted to hold off on doing that as long as possible. A bit foolish but he already knew he was going to have his fill of seeing Mizuki in chains as it was.

Thalion did hold onto Mizuki. It was all he could do really. The other was wounded and he wasn't sure what condition he was in as the link kept fading in and out between them. But this was it, after everything the three of them were together again and he was not going to let anything or anyone change that fact. With his current mood it would be a mistake to even think of getting in his way.

Though he was trying to convince himself that in the long run everything would be ok, though he doubted it was that easy. Though his thoughts stopped as he felt the one he had been holding this whole time move a little speaking about the time he looked at the other.

He smiled weakly at the other saying his name. "Hey.. " He started really not knowing what to say let alone how long he had. "Sorry it took so long." It was true he wished it didn't take nearly as long as he moved a hand to push back a few strands of hair that were out of place on Mizuki's face.

Even with the way the other looked and everything Thalion still knew it was Mizuki for the moment. The one that he had failed to protect that day. But he was here now and he was not going to fail again, they were going home if he had to destroy the harbor in the process of it if anything stood to say otherwise.

Mizuki smiled softly as he looked into those eyes "You better be..." He said softly after a moment. Though after that he just sat there and starred into those eyes. Mizuki didnt care who was there or how infact he ended up in the males arms but at the moment he didnt care. It was something he had wanted for a long time and now that it was happening he was going to take full advantage of it.

"Thank you...." Mizuki said leaning in "...for saving me..." He said as he leaned up and did the one thing he had wanted to do for years. Pale lips met dark as he kissed the male with closed eyes. Mizuki felt those arms circle around him and he was so happy. Though that happiness died as he felt the pain he didnt want. Opening his eyes they widened before the color began to fade. His last image were those ember orbs opening and looking at him with pain and anger.

The color now faded Mizuki moved back though the change was weird to see. One moment he was there and himself then the next he was pushed back and looking for the one man his mind told him to find...the king. Though as he couldnt locate the male in question so panic took over. In a split second the spell was cast and the carriage rocked as he attacked the nearest to him which happened to be Thalion.

Nytria shouted as it happened seeing the spell cast but he didnt get the chance to do anything as Mizukis hands were already on the male before him. One hand held a dark wrist and the other forced the male back by the shoulder each hand freezing on contact.

Even if the kiss was brief he didn't care. It was one of the things that would set his mind at ease for a while and tell him that no matter what they would get through this.. all of this. He'd fix Mizuki. He didn't know how but damn it he would. Though that brief moment they had was all too short as Mizuki's eyes seemed to fade back as the link snapped that was between them.

At the least Thalion had a heads up on the male before him changing back. The link made that easy to tell. Though not enough of one to avoid the attack from the panicked Mizuki as the other held his wrist and pushed him back with his shoulder. There was a sudden sting of pain in both areas though not one he was unfamiliar with.

Fine, he had held off doing anything to the other as long as he could. He knew this was coming sooner or later so he had already planned as to what to do. Mizuki would be trying to get to the king in this state so there was only one thing he could do. Luckily he was stronger then Mizuki still so he managed to free his wrist and forced the other back a little before hitting a pressure point in the back of his neck to cause Mizuki to black out as he fell over almost instantly.

"Well... I think I've had about all the fun I can stand for one day." He said with a sigh before righting Mizuki so at the least he wasn't on the carriage floor. This was when he moved a hand to where the ice spot was still on his wrist and melting it and repeating the same process for his shoulder. He saw that probably happening a few more times before this was all over.

Though by now the carriage came to a stop as the one driving it spoke that there was a issue at the harbor. The path was blocked by soldiers who had gotten word of the king being missing. Though at the least it seemed they did not think Beltran had anything to do with it. Though this news made Thalion smirk a little as Nytria looked at him.

The younger male started to move but Thalion stopped him. "You stay with her and your papa... I think I'm going to remind them who exactly they picked a fight with." More like he was dying for a excuse to teach these damned fae a lesson. No offense to the ones who were helping but he was not going to just turn around now or be over run.

Getting out of the carriage he was in a mood that was for sure. Dealing with this shit for a year, what he was being forced to wear. Not to mention the fact that the first kiss he had from Mizuki and it was ruined by that damned spell. There was just a number of things that he had every reason to show these bastards what kingdom they tried to destroy.

Some of the guards that came with the princess started to go forward to fend off the group a little down the road from where they stopped though Thalion told them not to bother. Nope it was safer for them to stay back here as he was hardly going to hold back and he was even saying screw using a weapon. It was more fitting to his mood at the moment to hear the lot of them scream as they died.

Though the group that was going to or suppose to find the king seemed to hesitate seeing just a sole slave walking towards them. Standing there a moment he huffed finally. "Tsk just going to stand there then? Have it your way." He said before casting the first spell and setting three of the men standing there ablaze with what seemed to be no effort. He was hardly done though as the group finally decided to move. This was when his actual temper and a bit of pent up rage took over and the ground surrounding him for a good ten or so feet in every direction instantly caught on fire and quickly ripped through the group that had charged forward.

Standing there a moment he was a bit disappointed as the fire slowly died down as he turned to start walking back towards the carriage. "Really.. least they could have acted like they put up a fight." Ok so he was a bit cocky, but still he was only able to pull a stunt like that off because he had been holding back for over a year.

As soon as the wrist was free Mizuki knew he was out. Gasping he didnt have a moment to do anything else as the point on the back of his neck was hit and he was out cold. His world faded to black as everything around him vanished into darkness. Nytria during this whole time sat back and watched with hurt eyes at the sight before him. Papa was usually so strong but the person before him was nothing like that. It was a broken shell of what used to be and it pained him.

Sighed as Mizuki was righted he was about to speak to Thalion as the carriage stopped. This was when the driver began to explain that there was an issue up higher on the road just before the harbor. Looking to Thalion Nytria went to get out of the carriage when the male beat him to it telling him to stay behind. Alright then if dad wanted it he would do it. It didnt take long before Nytria heard the screams of the men outside and also the crackle as the fire burned things around them.

Shortly after though he turned his head as he heard the door open and Thalion step inside. From there the carriage moved on like it should towards the boat. Thats when everything was loaded to the smaller boat. Everything from the king to some last minute supplies. The sister stood at the dock and waved the group goodbye as the ship took sale into the night. The wind was strong so it would give them a little headstart that was needed.

The trip back seemed to take twice as long as the original trip to the fae capital. Though in reality it took less time due to the winds being in their favor. Though what made the trip long was the fact the King came to with that potion wearing off. Not that he could say or do anything about his situation. No he was bound and even if he was not he was hardly a threat here. What else that added to the length was that Mizuki went in and out of the control of the spell. One moment he was weak and his old self though he didn't seem to remember things during one of those moments to the next. The next he was trying to near about kill himself to get free to aid his master.

Never the less they did finally reach their shores. Right away he sent a messenger to the castle to have a few things prepared in advanced as well as putting Vaden to the task of trying to find a way to break the spell over Mizuki. Though it would probably be a difficult task being fae magic and all and for something to be able to block out a spell of old as well. The one thing that weighed heavily on his mind was what to do with Mizuki.

They could not just leave him unbound as the controlled one would try to free himself and free the fae they had captive. Let alone he didn't want to put him in the dungeon either. But they had little choice for the moment. It was almost all they could do each day to get Mizuki to eat a little something, most of the time convincing him during the times he regained his mind that he had to hold out a bit longer. Thalion had saved him yes but he still hadn't fully saved him at the same time.

At first they had tried binding him in a special room set up but that became far too risky as Mizuki managed to break the binds and nearly get to the captive fae a few times. This forced them to hold him in the dungeon with magiced chains and binds as well as guards at all time. Normally someone from their group was always with him as well. Be it the children or Thalion or from a range of the others from Luna and Needren to Neimi and Raden even.

Though so far nothing had come of all of the research and attempts they had tried to remove the spell. Beltran said that he would look into things with the last letter Thalion had gotten from the fae. Though he hated asking further help from the new king. He had enough on his plate without worrying about things in other lands. Though of course Beltran was going to help, it was his father that did this in the first place.

The only thing that was keeping Thalion together was one thing that most never expected from the male. Every day he figured out some new method of torturing the ex fae lord and keeping him a blink from death. Healing potions and clerics both were at Thalion's call to ensure this bastard stayed alive as long as he could produce a scream. The first day was probably the worse for the male that was chained and bound in a room by himself with varies tools and objects as well as vials and runes.

What do you want the other asked and the words made Thalion grin all the more. "I think the questioning is my right, not yours." Was the relaxed reply that the fae got as he struggled against the chains. Not that it did him any good. Thalion had made sure these bindings and the ones on Mziuki were near about unbreakable. Before anything even started the first words the fae heard from Thalion who was happily in his normal clothing and seemed right proud of this feat he had accomplished let alone in the back of his mind enjoying the thought of making this bastard scream and beg.

"Whatever you did to Mizuki.. put him through or forced him to do.. will seem like a walk through a field of flowers compared to what I am going to do to you.." He meant those words and he had been owning up to them very well. Daily the fae begged for death not that he was going to get it. The first day he requested Vaden to bind his soul to a small stone and unless that stone was destroyed the fae would not die from whatever he was being put though. He could still feel pain and black out from it but aside from that he was doomed till Thalion grew bored of this.

Though him growing bored of this seemed unlikely as each day he saw Mizuki he was reminded of gods knew what this bastard had done to him let alone had changed him into. The fae always asked what did Thalion want and the male replied with nothing, not yet anyway. When he wanted something he would ask it but it would hardly be any fun to ask whatever he wanted and to get the answer in the short time he had been here.

Though the days slowly turned into weeks and a month or so had passed with this going on. The kingdom was rebuilding as the fae troops had been called back by their new ruler some time back. He had questioned the fae before if there was a way to reverse the spell. The male didn't know. He had found the spell of control but never looked into how to break it. Probably not a worry of his that he would have to break it.

Though today Thalion was being especially vicious in his torture of the male. Today was the one day out of the year he had always looked forward to and this year as well as the previous past four years Mizuki had been captive he still could not look forward to it. It was today the two first joined and everything for that day seemed right in the world. No today this bastard was going to scream until his voice gave out and the floor was covered in blood.

Though his treatment of the male seemed to end a bit sooner then he expected as a guard came to the door saying that someone requested a audience with him. "Hrm.. seems I'll have to leave for a bit." He smirked a little have splatters of the males blood all over him and the fae choking near about on his own blood. That much be a horrid feeling, feeling like you will die but you cannot do so.

"Oh but don't you worry I'll be back later, I would hate for you to get bored just sitting here looking at four walls." With that he left the male there still bound to the wall and with a sword though his chest that was stuck fast into the wall behind him.

Damien was in the main hall with their guest as well as Ryza who still hardly seemed happy to see a fae in her presence. Though no wonder, she had lost a lot of good soldiers to this pointless war. Though aside from the loss of men by now things were settled out again and with one of the kings having returned everything seemed to be ok. Though behind closed doors they were not. Thalion probably was more unstable then ever with having to fight Mizuki daily and know even if things were fixed that there would be a very long healing process, if it ever completed even.

The trip back to the twin kingdom was in deed a long one. Having the king wake shortly after departure was something the group had been waiting for though non expected the fact that once the king was awake Mizuki would take more effort in going to see the male in question. That is what the spell made him do. So each time he was awake his thoughts were the king unless he was lucid then his only thoughts were Thalion and the kids.

Non the less the trip continued on from there. The sail back home was almost completely peaceful then the trip back to the twin kingdom was that of the same. It was not until they reached the castle that things started to get interesting. Each day that passed Mizuki broke through the chains holding him and in the process of him trying to get to the king guards fell in his wake. Half the time it took Thalion himself to stop the male in his seeminly rampage.

It was not until he took out a group of twenty some men alone that Thalion had placed him in chains that even he himself couldnt break through. So from that moment he spent his time locked in a cell chained with his arms above his head to prevent anything from happening. In order to cast a spell or use magic his hands and arms needed to work and that was king of hard with no blood in the limbs. No blood meant no movement so the only thing that Mizuki really could do was hand there.

These times were not as bad as the times where he was lucid. The first time that he was he found himself in the cell with Needren sitting in a chair in the same cell looking to him. Mizuki tried everything in his power to convince the male that he needed down and to let him go. He could tell from the look on Needrens face that the male was heartbroken he couldnt do anything. Even going as far as explaining everything to the male. This seemed to happen everytime Mizuki begged to be let go.

The days from there moved into weeks and the week into a month though nothing seemed to change. No it was all the same. Day in and day out Mizuki would try and get free though it was all in vein. It was not until a few days after the month mark that things changed and it all changed with the fae standing in the hall waiting for a drow king to reach him.

Beltran stood there as he looked to Damien then to Ryza. After the word had been sent to Thalion it was all the male could do to stand there and wait though that wait seemed to be hard to do. The small smile from Damien was nice and welcoming though the glare of death he got from the female was something that got under his skin after awhile "Okay seriously" He said looking to the female "Even after everything I went through you have this found hate for me..." He said tilting his head looking to her.

"I guess my trip here to speak with your king could of been done with a letter.." He said shaking his head though that thought ended as Thalion entered the room. Turning he smiled to the male and bowed his head a little "Hello there Thalion" He said to the male though as he got a look he smiled large "Well...I have good news for you" He said before giving Thalion the book he held in hand. "This is the mental spell that was placed on Mizuki" Beltran said lightly "With it...is the release." Beltran spoke.

With a smile he also decided to add to this good news as he spoke again "Not only that but at the back I placed the things that you need to know in order to change his gender to what it was" He said though this was when his face grew a little dark "I...its interesting on how its done" He said "Though if your love for him is as strong as you and I both know then it will be complete in time" Beltran said though either way he shook his head.

That right there made Thalion look to him with hopefull eyes "Though...there is something that you should know" He said to him with almost saddened eyes "There is a catch" He said "In order for the spell to break completely over his mind..." Beltran began "The...caster of the spell has to be the one to break it" He said with a little sigh "So I never thought I would say this but..." He said looking to Thalion "Please tell me that father is still alive" He said looking to the male.

Ryza huffed as Beltran spoke to her but she kept her mouth shut for the time being. Damien sighed a little shaking his head. "She's like that towards everyone, you should see the training matches between her and mi'lord.." More like fights to the death at times it seemed. Especially that one time Thalion actually did question her about Needren. Oh that was fun indeed, she tried to kill him for real that time. Thankfully she had failed.

Thalion had a questioning look a to why Beltran was here. He could have sent a messenger or something or his sister even. Wasn't there enough to be done in his own kingdom rather then personally coming out here? He wasn't going to question it as he hoped there was some form of good news with this unexpected appearance. Either way he bowed his head a little to match the greeting of Beltran.

He listened to Beltran say that this book would fix the mental spell that hung over Mizuki. Though it seemed Beltran had went out of his way to find a way to fix the fact that Mizuki was female. Really at this rate Thalion would have settled with just getting the control spell broken, to hell if the other one couldn't be reversed or not. Anything was better then what he was putting up with now.

"whenever the words interesting and magic come into play ever seem to end well... " No there was a catch and he mentioned in time. Really he wasn't sure Mizuki even knew he was a female, during the times he was himself he mainly begged to be free or questioned where he was like he forgot each time. Any of the other times he tried to free himself till he had no energy left in order to get to his master.

Though at the mention of a catch Thalion listened for a moment before smirking. Though it wasn't the normal cocky one he had, no this one had a bit of a dark flair to it. "Oh he's alive, till I decide I'm bored with what I've been doing. Until then I have about four years worth to make up for." Beltran probably didn't need or want to know the details but either way Thalion got him to follow him.

Aside from that who's blood did Beltran think this was? "So I would say there will be a problem in making him remove the spell..." He shrugged a little as they walked. "Though something tells me that won't actually be a problem." Not with the hell Thalion had been putting the male through. Any time that he didn't get a reaction he wanted was when he went about using potions to remind the captive fae's body that it was going to feel pain until the day it's soul was destroyed or the body rotted whatever came first.

After a bit of a walk he stopped at a door that had two guards in front of it and a number of runes on the door itself. This was in case Mizuki did get free. The runes would prevent the other from just breaking in the door and freeing the captive that was in the room.

It was funny in a way it seemed that it was a good thing that he had vowed that the bastard was not going to die until Mizuki was back to himself. Hell if Mizuki wanted the final blow was his for everything that the fae lord had put him through. A number of things he probably wouldn't even remember or know that happened...

"So anything else besides making him remove the spell that I should know about?" Figured it was fair to ask. "I figured you didn't really want to see him in his current state... most are not fans of blood." Let alone a blade in someones chest.. that would have to be removed. Plus he guessed he could end the spell he had been toying with for a day and half as well. It was a small spell but effective as it sent a small twinge of fire that traveled along the blood in the body, it spread slowly and damaged as it went along. But for someone that couldn't die.. why not test it. The downfall to the spell was that it took a long time to be cast so this was its only real purpose.

"Oh he's alive, till I decide I'm bored with what I've been doing. Until then I have about four years worth to make up for." At those words and the males look Beltran couldnt help the shiver that fell down his back. Drows were known for alot of things and torture was one of them. He did not wish to be his father at this moment. Though with that thought also came an other one. "The bastard deserves nothing less" Beltran said with a smirk and a nod.

After that little exchange though Beltran fallowed the male through the halls and listened as he spoke "Almost promising would be to say his freedom would be at his hands for removing the spell then just deny him" He said with a shrug of his shoulders. If his father was in the state the thought him to be in the male would fall for it like nothing. It was a sad but true fact and Beltran smiled at the thought of it. Such a simple lie yet so effective.

After a while the two reached large double doors and men stood on either side of the doors. Dressed in full armor and weapons the males stood to full attention as Thalion walked up. Beltran then got a look at the door and he noticed the runes placed along with the seal and he frowned a little "You know my father would never break through one rune let alone..." He said counting "Like eight of them" He said looking to Thalion.

Though this was when he noticed the deep frown that came onto the males face and Beltran sighed "Its because of Mizuki isent it?" He asked and at the look he got Beltran knew that he was right. The spell was an evil one and as long as the slave was not beside his master the said slave in question would do everything in its power to reach said master. Even if that meant damage or death for themselves. Sighing he shook his head "I would hate to see what you have Mizuki locked in" He said with a shake of his head.

"Either way..." He said "The only warning I have is if you want Mizuki back you have to keep him.." He said point at the door "Alive" He said looking to Thalion "If he will not reverse it you can not kill him. If you do Mizuki will be nothing more then a blank slate" He said "Not moving, eating, sleeping, talking...nothing" Beltran said with a frown as he looked at Thalion. "Oh and there is...something else" He said to the male "To reverse the gender spell...something has to happen...well...two things" He said as he paused for a moment.

This caused Thalion to raise a brow before saying out with it "Well the spell is old fae magic..." He said "The lady of the house became barren after my sister was born" He said "My father still wanted heirs to his kingdom so...he found the spell" At that Thalion looked at him "In order to end it...Mizuki must bear a child" He said with a little smile.

Though Beltran almost laughed at the look Thalion gave him "The pregnancy would last half the time of that of a normal female" He said "Four and a half months to be exact" He said with a nod of his head "But as soon as the child is born the spell would reverse" He said "They never did perfect it to say permanently" He said with a shrug of his shoulders "I guess its a good thing that they didnt hey" Beltran asked with a little laugh.

It was true, Beltran's father did deserve nothing less. The hell he had put the lot of them through, the countless others that he had hurt or killed as well. "and you wondered why I didn't want to kill him right away, well you have your answer now." Not that he was a fan of such methods but this one.. he deserved every bit of it.

"Tsk.. I could promise him death and he might be willing to do it at the rate he begs for it daily." That was true enough, though he was not going to give it to him. No he had too many more plans that he needed to execute. He wasn't happy yet with the amount of pain and suffering the male had gone through by a long shot. Either way he would removed the spell no matter what, if he had to he would go seek out a damned blood mage just to control his body during the process of the spell.

"I know this... " He said to the fact that his father could never break through one let alone the eight placed, and they were all high ranked ones at that. The next question he nodded a little at. "I don't think he could get through one or two either with their strength.. but I'd rather not have to go hunting down someone I captured once already." He shook his head a little. "Something that prevents him from hurting or killing himself or anyone around him.."

"Oh he'll stay alive... like I said I have four years to make up for at the least. If not longer." He paused a little before smirking at another thought. "Besides... he can't die until what I have his soul bound to is destroyed." Vaden was rather thrilled about getting to use that spell, it humored him in a way. Let alone the spell was painful on its own as it ripped the soul from the body and kept both alive. "Either way he'll do what I want him to, he's not as strong without a army backing him."

No in truth the man was weak. Thalion hardly got anything done to him the first day before he blacked out on him. Though most probably would have done the same. Nope the captive that he had was a cowering male who begged for death daily and screamed until his voice was horse from doing so.

This was when Beltran mentioned to reverse the gender that there were two things. He looked at him and waited a moment before saying out with it already. Though as the other explained it he almost had a look of disbelief on his face at hearing what he was just told. Did he hear that correctly? Surely that was not the real way to reverse the spell.

Though as Beltran went on Thalion still seemed a bit in shock about it even as the other joked at the end saying good thing they never perfected it being permanent. "If anyone ever says Drow are twisted I'll be sure to point them in the direction of Fae spell books.." He had a point, sure the Drow were cruel in a number of ways but at the least they didn't twist someones gender and force them to bare a child.

He breathed out a little rubbing his head a bit at the idea of it. "Oh that sounds just swell... " That was not going to be easy if not a impossible task. After what Mizuki went through he would be happy just having the other hold onto him let alone anything else. Though after the spell was broken he doubted that Mizuki would be so willing to let anyone touch him. "Not sure if I want to say it is lucky that Mizuki is still a female or not... " Good news the king failed to get another heir, bad news... how the hell was he suppose to pull that off.

He shook his head finally. "worrying about it later... much later" Before he gave himself a headache. Either way he went about unlocking the runes on the door before entering. It was Beltran's choice if he wanted to follow or not. Though Thalion was smirking a bit still seeing the pained breathing of the male chained to the wall and that it was sharp breaths seeing as he had made sure the blade went through a lung just to make things more difficult on the male.

"Seems you are in luck today.. " he started before picking his words carefully. He would get Mizuki's free of that damned spell if he had to go as far as getting some mage who could control another, be it blood magic or worse he hardly cared at this point. Though it would be easier for the weakling in front of him to just accept the offer of freedom. Rather the lie of.

Beltran smiled at this "Yes it will be an interesting thing to do but it is something that needs to happen in the long run" Beltran said "Even if it takes years to do so" He said getting sad at the thought. It had already taken years for the male to return home let alone the healing process. Everything took time but time in itself was so long. Sighing Beltran stood there as Thalion opened the doors and walked in.

Beltran was not sure if he should fallow the male or not. Some little voice in his head told him to do it that he wanted to see the male how he was broken and battered. Though a small part of him told him not to that it was his father. No...this male was no father to him. He was nothing more then a sperm donor. With that thought Beltran entered the room behind Thalion just as the male spoke that the ex king was in luck.

Looking the male over Beltran shook his head. There was no area of the male was not bruised or cut and bleeding. The labored breathes showed just how much in pain he was not to mention the expression on the males face. Though after a few moments that dipped head lifted and looked at the two of them. Though as those eyes settled on Beltran they grew wide in hope "M-my boy..." The king said with a smile that was broken and bloody "...c-come...to save...me?" He asked lightly.

This was when Beltran turned his head to Thalion and gave him a look as if he didnt know what to say. Though he did...turning he looked to the male "No" He said flatly "This is going to be your punishment until death" He said "And even that horizon is to far in the distance to see" Beltran hissed to the male with a glare on his face. At this the king faulted a little "It...was all you" He said looking at Beltran then to Thalion "From the...start" The king said.

Beltran smiled a little "Yes father...not only be but about half your guard and sister as well" He spoke with a glare. At the words he could see the males face go from shock to anger then pain as he tried to hard to struggle against the sword in his chest. "You can only torture your people for so long before they retaliate" He said with a glare "Your rule has long since ended...Father" Beltran hissed to the male.

That was almost as enjoyable to watch as the screams were to hear all of this time. The sudden wave of hope the other seemed to have seeing Beltran. Let alone the hope in his voice as he spoke. This was almost too good to be honest. Though Beltran saying no was even better as the king seemed confused a moment before figuring things out.

It was Beltran this whole time, granted it would have come to a point where Thalion would have forced an attack on the Fae capital. But this method had ended with a lot less unneeded blood shed. Never the less Beltran went on saying that his rule had long sense ended. Also that this was his punishment until death and that seemed a ways a way.

"Oh come now..." Thalion started before walking forward and forcing the blade from it's spot it had been wedged in. "I could see death in the near future... but it seems I have a use for you just yet." He started before walking to a side table and getting a cloth to clean the blade almost absentmindedly. "It seems I need you to do something for me... " The king started that he would never as Thalion rolled his eyes a bit. "You expect me to believe that? Never is a very long time."

Setting the blade down he walked back over to where the fallen king was chained. "Besides that.. it is in your best interest to accept my proposal. Unless you enjoyed your soul being ripped from your body. There are worse things that I can have done by far. Refusing just means I have to find someone who can make you do what I want." He smirked a little seeing the concern on that face. The king knew he was hardly bluffing.

"Now.. a deal then... you do what I ask and you can have your freedom back. I don't give a damn where you go or run to that is your choice." With this he spoke of what he wanted from the chained male. After that was over he waited there with his arms crossed and debated what answer he wanted more. To just agree with it to be rejected freedom later or the other option of getting a blood mage to control him. "So what says you."

The king looked to Thalion as the male spoke about the options he had. Did he really just ask him to remove the spell? Though the sound of freedom was something that made the male think about nothing more then that. It should of been him thinking that it was all a lie just to get the him to do as the male wanted. But with the thought of freedom on his mind he didnt care or think about anything else for that matter. "...o..okay" The king said lightly.

Though as the male looked to him said he couldnt hear his answer the king growled "For my freedom...yes" He said. This caused Beltran so smile a little before he stopped and then looked to Thalion "Well you have your answer" He said with a shrug "If he wants his pathedic freedom for the mind of your husband why not" He said with a shrug of his shoulders.

Little to the king that was the plan all along. He wanted the king to agree to the freedom so it would be easy for the males mind to return. It was all they could of hoped for in the long run. Looking to his father Beltran thought he would continue this little act Thalion and himself had going on "When you have your freedom there are some conditions" He said "You are to neither be in this land or mine" He said with a glare "If you are whats stopping us from doing this all over again" He said with a smirk at the males look.

He knew he'd get the answer he wanted. Really he didn't have a choice. It was agree willingly or agree not willingly. Either way he grinned a little saying he did not hear the answer as the king spoke up saying for his freedom yes. This had been too easy. But what was he expecting from a broken and battered man.

Though Beltran seemed to carry this on as Thalion shrugged a little but agreeing none the less. "I wouldn't complain, it's been a while when I had this much fun." That was a lie though he did take some amount of enjoyment from this. He had to get something out of it, torturing was hard wired into his kind. Either way he moved to walk towards the door before getting the guards to help. Like hell he was going to carry or help the wounded king walk.

After a moment the chains from the wall was released though his hands and such were still bound. "My advice is to do the spell right... " He meant it too, he was not going to be toyed with now of all times. Never the less with that the group started to move down to where they were keeping Mizuki.

Neimi was down there at the moment. She visited when she could spare a moment and when Raden could handle their little one. Though she wasn't expecting there to be company as she flinched a little as Mizuki seemed to jerk harder then ever as the footsteps grew closer. The lifeless eyes focused on trying to get out and every thrash seemed to pull at the males skin. She looked to see that it was a few guards with Thalion and from the looks of it the fae captive as well as another. It looked to be the one that had come here from before.

Unbinding the males hands he warned him before handing the book over. "Try anything and I promise you'll not see the light of day for as long as I draw breath..." Never the less the king seemed to understand the weight behind the words as he started to look over the reversal spell before beginning the chant.

All the while Mizuki thrashed against the bindings holding him. Thalion had done a good job on them it seemed. He had made them not long before putting them on Mizuki as the other seemed to break free of all the others. The spell was a long drawn out one but after a while and the final words Mizuki's body seemed to go limp after a slight flash of light from the king's hands as he finished the spell.

For the moment all they could do was wait and see if it worked or not. By this time Luna and Needren had joined them as well having heard from Damien that the conversation had come up that Mizuki might be free of that mind control.

None the less Thalion didn't waste time as soon as Mizuki opened his eyes just enough to see the color they were. This was when he ordered the king back to the room he was in. The male seemed furious with this as he demanded that the promise be kept. "Promise?" Thalion scoffed a little at the thought. "I don't recall making a promise." He didn't to be fair he said he would but there was no mention of promise in there.

Though Mizuki didn't hold his eyes open for long as they seemed to shut again and with that he seemed out of it. Risking that the spell indeed worked they decided to move him somewhere to where a healer could tend to any of the bruises and cuts that they could not work on when he was controlled still.

So now a new waiting game. To see if the spell had worked and if Mizuki was going to come to. Thalion couldn't tell at the moment. With the other being out as he was the link was still not connected. He hated waiting but none the less it gave him a moment to properly thank Beltran as he seemed to stick around to see if things worked or not.

Thalion sighed a little before speaking. "I owe you .. more then I care to owe anyone to be honest." If it weren't for Beltran coming here in the first place he wouldn't have Nytria back or Mizuki. He still would have no idea where either of them were. Let alone Beltran came through in the end and helped further to try to restore Mizuki back to the way he was. Even if it would take time it was still the fact that he had bothered to help when he didn't have to.
