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.
