[Pinkie]

Mizuki didnt know what to do. He was caught between many things and each one tore his heart a different way. It pained him to walk away from Thalion even as the male called his name though with his master he knew what he could do and what he couldnt. Ignoring the males wishes was one thing he couldnt do for if he did Mizuki knew that he would regret it. Though the fact that the male was here after all this time meant that something was afoot and Mizuki was going to get to the bottom of things.

As the time passed on Thalion did not show his face even near the castle grounds. At least not that Mizuki knew of. At nights he waited for the male to come back and come to bed so he could talk with him but the more and more he waited the more and more he realized that no one was coming. So his nights what was left after training was spent alone usually curled in a chair infront of the fire place. The bed was to large for himself to sleep in alone.

Now it has been a week since Saevain came to the castle and during that time he knew nothing of the outside world really. He had enough time in a day to do his work that needed to be done then besides that his master and himself trained and it was just how Mizuki remembered. The harsh words the forcing of spells though at least he could last longer this time around with out the worry of failing to soon. Though with that came another fear one that if he was to take massive blows and suffer damage that Thalion would as well.

It was a thought in his mind as he trained day in and day out though his worries he could not express to the male for he was no where to be seen. This in itself set warning bells off in Mizukis mind but who could he express them to? That was the thought on his mind as he stood there before his master breathing heavy "I thought you would of been far better off then what are" The male hissed as he stood there with his staff in hand.

Mizuki glared "I think I am doing well for my self thank you" He hissed though as soon as the words left his mouth he regretted them. Saevain growled deep as he cast his own spell and Mizuki didnt have the chance to dodge the wooden spikes that shot out from the floor. He could only hiss as he felt them slice past his skin before one drove through his thigh. Biting his tongue he held the yell of pain that he knew would of came. That would only bring more pain if he showed his.

This had been going on for days. The one thing Mizuki hated about the male before him was his primary element, earth. This allowed him to control wood, rock and dirt at will with his spells often leaving Mizuki with splinters or cuts and bruises. His thoughts here ended though as he felt the spike in his thigh retreat as well as the others as they sliced back through skin to return where they first were. "It seems to me that the drow has made you weak" He hissed looking to Mizuki.

At that Mizuki looked to him with a questioning look "And what makes you think its his fault?" He asked and at that the male smiled "I mean its bad enough you had to fall for a young master with no future let alone a cursed one" He said and at that Mizuki frowned. Just how well did his master know of Thalion? "Plus not to mention the so called...family you seem to have" He said before walking a little as he started a path around Mizuki as the male stood there panting.

"By the way...why is it that you have three heirs and all three know nothing compaired to what they should?" Saevain asked and Mizuki growled "They know enough for their ages" He said though he swallowed those words as he was back handed across the face forcing his head to the side "The youngest...Amonar was the childs name" The man said "By that time you knew more then the two older ones combined" He said and at that Mizuki frowned "They are not me" He said and right there he knew it was a mistake.

He was right a moment later as he couldnt help the hiss of pain to escape his lips as he felt a hand dig into the hole in his thigh "No they are not you" The man said "But they are your kids...have I taught you nothing?" Saevian said with a growl before he ripped his hand away. "Now get out of my sight" The male hissed before stepping back "And I hope you take my words to heart Mizuki...your childern will be forever weak if you keep this up" He said in a hiss.

After that Mizuki limped out of the room. He knew better then to stay once he was dismissed. Walking or rather limping down the hall he ignored the whispers of those he passed as well as the questions on his well being. He would live thats all that mattered. Though as he passed another group he was not left alone for long as he had two fallowers. They fallowed him all the way to his study before he even realized.

It was not until he opened the doors and turned to close them did he see who was there. Frowning he nodded as he let the two into the room before closing the door "Papa..." He heard two voices and he raised a hand at this to silence them. Moving over he hissed as he sat down causing his leg to give a gush of blood "Papa you need to heal that..." He heard Belquiri say as she moved over though Mizuki stopped her "No...a simple herb rap will do" Mizuki knew better then to fully heal them. He found that out the hard way many years ago.

Though at this Mizuki looked to Nytria "Go fetch me Vaden...it seems him and I have some things to discuss" He said to him with a sigh and Nytria looked to Belquiri before giving a nod and leaving the room. This was when the female went about and cleaned the gashes that covered his body before rapping them "Thank you my dear but now I ask you to leave" He said to her and she began to protest but Mizuki growled "That is not a request that is an order...leave me" He said and this caused her to take a step back.

Never had her papa ever said such things to her in the way that he jsut did. Something was wrong and she knew that though that didnt mean that Mizuki could take it out on her. So with that a little flare of Thalion seemed to come into her as she bowed low "As you wish my lord" She hissed before leaving the room. She needed to find dad, enough was enough!
