"So you're killing all the creatures and mages because one guy messed up?" Mikesha was confused. His mind also went to the mage who had cleverly blocked pursuit with a wall of fire.

"That's only one example. I can name many more." He said after a moment. Surly the boy wasn't that dumb right? In fact the king before him had been killed by magic was that not enough proof? Yet here he himself was a mage ruling a kingdom against himself. And he was in love with an elf. If anyone found out it would be devastating.

Mikesha thought about it and realized, yeah, he was being dumb. Of course magic caused problems, but.... "You're basically eliminating all the magic for other fools' mistakes? No offense, your highness, but not even the magic users are perfect. They have faults and sins as well. If we kill them all, children included, innocent blood is on our hands." His gaze swept across the snake coiled on the king's shoulders. "Next question, though. The elf seemed to want to be captured. Any speculation as to why?"

"If it come to it sacrifices will be made." The king answered. If his plan worked then it would be fine if not then he may have no choice but genocide. A true the meantion of Dexion he clenched his fists. "He's a fool, foolish enough to leave himself as bait while the main threat got away." He hated to talk about his love like this! There would definitely be a talk about their meeting ups after this.

A gold, purple and emerald green hummingbird came flying in threw an open window nearby and sat on mikes sholder

trilling a song neather could understand but dexion silverleaf could hear from his little cage

""Mira will be here soon just sit tight and she will free you and kira she is in the town square waiting for midnight! do you have a message you would like me to give to mira?""

Shouts to humming bird from sell
MIRAS COMING TO FREE US YOU KNOW THATS DANGEROUSE AND I DONT EVEN REMEMBOUR HOW I GOT HERE AND NOBODY WILL TELL ME OR FEED ME!

Snarls deeply

ALSO TELL MIRA THAT I SHALL ESCAPE ON MY OWN BECAUSE I AM REALY HUNGRY AND WILL EAT ANYONE WHO COMES NEAR ME!

flyes over to kira trilling
""shut your tung putty cat! or the king will have us all for dinner! especialy me! I am not your average hummingbird remembour that!""

Mikesha nodded in response, listening to the king's evil ranting. "Good. For a moment there, I thought you cared for that elf." He may not be the smartest of the bunch, but he was not stupid. He was very observant. "So what is our next course of action, my king?"

"To make sure the prisoners don't get away." He said narrowing his eyes some as the cat loudly announced they were being rescued. "Guard them both, and don't feed the cat. Let her starve." With that he turned away. He had a while to wait before the time came to let Dexion go again. That guard...he was treading in dangerous territory. If he valued his life he would learn to keep his mouth shut.

((Haha, that's Mike for you))

Mikesha sensed the tension he seemed to have caused and he started to wonder if he'd stepped into some sensitive content. He didn't prod though as he was given orders. He bowed to the king again. "As you wish, your highness." He straightened and walked back to where the elf was being held, dragging away some more guards to put there. Then he went to the dungeon.
