Mizuki mentioning that last he knew it was more then that. "Like I said a long story... though we all have to live through this first." He smirked a little at the thought of it. He knew it was more then that but not telling Ryza was going to get to her sooner or later. Ah the few things that annoyed his former teacher. Not that Mizuki had any idea thats what she was to Thalion. As far as he knew they could have been childhood friends or something. Or at the others fear or more.

"A title that is not always rewarding.. but you could be right." Ryza laughed at Vaden's reply to Mizuki's statement of him being a master of the dark arts. "He's just being modest, if it weren't for getting locked up he'd be buried in a pile of dusty books still." Thalion looked at Ryza with this before questioning it. "So is that how you two were caught?" He thought he was joking.

"We'll call it not one of my prouder moments.." Was Vaden's reply before Ryza could speak up about it. There was surely more to that story but none the less probably some cheap tricks involved to wear these two down enough to be caught alive. But soon enough he ignored any further comments from the two in front as Mizuki said some seers seemed to ignore such a order of destroying them.

"Least some where spared then I suppose. Not that they do most a bit of good." Most were dark element based, odds were rather rare to find someone trained let alone able to use such spells. Though he did know the one speaking to him had the ability to do so. "The two races have lost a lot of information on the past over the years... some of that can't be replaced now." It was the sad truth.

The mention of talking once all of this was settled seemed to go over well. "Just a few things?" Though Thalion said he would be avoiding whatever room they started this chat in for the week it lasted. "There is the thought of forcing you to listen to it as well... you might learn something if you weren't bullheaded like someone else I know." Referring to Ryza as she made a slight face at the idea of it.

There would be plenty of time for talk once all of this was said and through. Vaden was curious on what Thalion meant by thats why he was here. Surely he didn't actually get advice and heed it by his father. He could be wrong in such thoughts though. Being close to the royal family as Damien was he had tried helping Thalion's father find a cure for that curse but all efforts were too little too late by then.

After Raden took Belquiri from Mizuki was when the other spoke where this chamber was. Though Thalion started to speak up but stopped as a voice beat him to it and his ears dropped almost instantly. Oh this was not good. Raden and Neimi had no weapons, Vaden was working with what little energy he had gathered and Ryza.. well she could deal with herself. Plus himself and Mizuki weren't exactly at the best they could be.

Raden nodded before getting Neimi to back up so they were a bit further from what was soon going to be a fight. "So my seers were right... the rumors were not mere rumors and trying to break into my castle and steal my captives without me noticing.." She smiled having a hand axe as her weapon and she stood there ever so proudly.

"Though it seems all your efforts are for nothing... whatever reason you wanted to come down here i'll never know nor do I care." She looked to one of the men finally as she spoke. "Kill the others." Though as soon as the first of her men moved Thalion had already tossed over the second blade he normally had to Ryza. "Hope you can still fight."

Ryza smirked a little before taking down the first guard to get close enough. "Please... I'll be more surprised if you can keep up runt." Yep there was something between these two, though Ryza was older then she looked to say the least and whatever it looked like was between them was hardly the case. Odds are all of this would lead to some odd conversation at a later date.

Damien paused a little before attacking keeping whatever number he could from Mizuki and Vaden. "Can you manage anything?" Was the question as he forced a attack back. Vaden glared at him a little. "Youth needs to learn patience.. I have one shot at a spell and we need to make it worthwhile." Damien being called youth was a bit funny though or Thalion would have thought it.

Not that he had the moment to do so as the Queen seemed to have plans to toy with him as she moved finally after a few of her fighters fell and engaged with Thalion. "Shame you didn't die that night, it was such a delicious thought that some weak helpless child was run through with a blade." Thalion hated the way she spoke, like she had won already.

"But no instead you come back here and kill my only son and cause my city to try to rise against me!" She hissed a little as the two weapons connected. Once more his lack of years was betraying him in this fight. She was older and far more experienced in battle. There were plenty enough other fighters that help was little and far between.

"Just give up, acting like someone you are not will not make this any easier." She grinned a little seeing she had hit a nerve. "Or did you think you would make something of yourself? Trying to be like your father, that fool never knew when to give up either." Mizuki didn't know a lot of Thalion's past, there was more to it then just training. There were reasons why he trained so hard or why he pushed himself to his breaking point so commonly when he did.

None the less it was all he could do to avoid getting hit. That would not help Mizuki out any and they needed as much help as they could get at the moment. Though her words were striking a few nerves and Mizuki could probably tell this as the slight annoyance from the woman speaking turned into almost pure hatred.
