Found Out

Mirage watched as Destane took hold of her son's wrist to lead him through

the mana portal he had just created, and had to remember to breathe as an

odd feeling came over her. Something had been set in motion, she didnt know

what it was yet, but she did know it would all be revealed one day, a day

she didnt look forward to.

And then the image faded, gettting fuzzier and fuzzier until it became

black. Aladdin was startled as he felt a slight pushing. He blinked open his

eyes to see Xerxes butting his head into him, trying to dislodge him off his

unconscious Mozenrath.

"Please, get off master, go" , Xerxes pleaded in a nasal scratchy and all

around umpleasent voice.

Aladdin jumped up, realizing what had just happen. It had worked, he

thought, looking at his now normal hands, he'd seen Mozenraths

memorys.......and Allah what memorys. As he looked down at the sorcerer,

being orbited by a nervous eel, he felt way too akward for comfort. He felt

flighty and ran to the door, he stopped as a cold rush of air slapped in the

face, making him relive the guilt he shoved back down. He stole and forced

Mozenrath expose memories he most likely didnt care to remember, knocked him

unconscious basically with what ever had came from his hands, and even with

the intent to! And now he was gonna run cause he got a little freaked.?

Aladdin got angry. He's not a coward, he wanted to know and he found out.

Sure Mozenrath is, was? gay and what was more disturbing than even that was

Mirage, that catling that he battled against more times than he could

count......but, why didnt he notice it before? Wouldnt she still visit him,

wouldnt they even be in the same place at the same time, at least once? But

that wasnt any of his buisness. But what was his business was that he

basically attacked someone who couldnt even defend himself at the moment.

Aladdin steeled his resolve and headed back into the Citadel.

Mozenrath woke and for a moment didnt know where he was. It was too much of

and effort to open his eyes, his pounding head and the cool invite of the

pillow confirmed that.

Wait! Sheets?.....How had he got to a bed? He dragged himself up into a

sitting posistion and looked around the small bedroom. Well at least he was

in his own bed. He sighed in relief and looked around the small bedroom. He

may not have used it since he was younger, but at least it was his and

famillar. He rustled the deep indigo sheets as he looked to see Xerxes,

curled up like some odd cat at the foot of the bed, not a hands reach away.

Mozenrath, even through his resentment of the thing and his merciless

hangover, had to recognize Xerxes was, if nothing else, loyal. He slipped

out of bed, being uncharestically considerate not to wake Xerxes and slothed

down to the shower. Almost drowning himself as hot steam filled the room, he

racked his brain.

-What happended last night?-

As he toweled himself off, walking down darkened hallways he knew all too

well, he heard something and jolted. Who was in his Citadel? He ran down the

corridor, past his cushioned throne that beckoned so nicely, and stopped as

he saw something decisevely odd in his kitchen. The streetrat was rumaging

through his cabinets................his back turned to him, absorbed in his

"work". WTF?

"May I help you with something?", he said in that special kind of demanding

sarcasm.

Aladdin had heard him coming so he continued what he was doing, tossing

bottle after bottle off alcholol and burbon and whatever intoxicating shit

he could find into a waste bin behind him.

He replied without looking up

"Not at all, Im fine."

Mozenrath's anger was piqued as he saw his expensive belonging get

carelessly thrown around.

"WTF do you think you are doing?", he demanded.

"You know," Aladdin said in an infuratingly calm manner, "Youd think after

last night, youd be a bit more thankfull.:

Well that put him at a lost for words. And then it came back, like and

unwanted flood triggered by the streetrats considering look he was giving

him. He froze as image after image seeped to attention in front of his inner

eye. He remembered getting wasted, for the usual reasons, he saw himself

sloshing around like a drunken fool, and...his face caught fire as he saw

himself pawing at his enemy, shamelessly, the look on Aladdin's

face.Shiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttttttt-

The more revenge minded part of Aladdin enjoyed seeing Mozenrath squirm,

but thats not who he was. He sighed and said,

"Look, what happended wasnt exately your fault, I did wrong just as much so

just forget it, it doesnt matter."

He turned away and was about to leave when a indignant, and more than shaky

accusation followed his retreating back.

"Who do you think you are?".

"Excuse me?", Aladdin replied turning back around.

"Who the fuck do you think you are Aladdin? Who do you think you are to

come in my Citadel, in my home, assualt me.--

Aladdin cringed when he was reminded of his less than honorable actions,

amplified by his akward posistion

" And i didnt forget what you did to

me,................................................"

Aladdin went pale, he remembered?

Mozenrath watched Aladdins expression carefully. He remembered a moment of

pain, and the image of Aladdin above him before he passed out, but besides

that, he didnt know the details..But he could sure as hell get them.

"So Mr. Golden Child has run out of hero work to do and decides it would be

fun to come and...."

"Look! I didnt know.......well I knew, ITS YOUR FAULT! " , Aladdin yelled

frustratingly. Too much was happening at one time, he was confused,

irritated, and more than a little tired.

Mozenrath laughed almost insanely, more than a little unhinged,

"MY FAULT? so i forced you to whatever you did.....", he shut his mouth as

he realized what he let slip and ruined any opportunity for finding out

anything.

Aladdin, "Wait, You dont know, well, in that

case...........................bye mozie!" He turns before Mozenrath can

react and runs for the door like the wind, thankfull they were at least

halfway into their normal cat and mouse routine, which proved to lessen the

uncomfortable situation.

Mozenrath is silent for a moment.

" AND WHY HAVENT I FRIED YOU ALIVE YET!?!?!?" He races off after him with

a un-logical intent, black boots proving to be and unwise fashion choice for

that day.

Aladdin sped down the hall like a fleet flooted deer, well maybe not as

graceful as he slammed into the wall when a blue-black blast hit him in the

back. He got up as fast as he good and ducked as the marble above him was

scorched.

"You know, I'm finally realizing the only way to get rid of rats is to

squash them personally", Mozenrath said with an unusual amount of calm as he

yanked Aladdin up by his colar, gauntlet glowing with eager ferocity.

"Whats the matter Mozenrath? You were so eager to get me out of here

earlier....", Aladdin sneered, alarming in the similarity between his and

Mozenraths.

Mozenrath didnt even dignify his jab with a response as his arm reared

back. But Aladdin was ready for it and grabbed the offending apendage before

it could cook him as promised. He shot his head to the side as the glove

fired frustratingly, he managed to stand as he tried to dislodge the grip on

his throat..

"I take it back, your not a streetrat, YOUR A ROACH! you just wont die!",

Mozenrath cursed, slamming Aladdin's head into the wall.

Aladdin grunted in pain and lurched forward, grabbing Mozernath's wrists in

his hands.

Mozenrath snarled in indignancy.

" Get your hands off me!"

"If you quit being a homicidal nut!"

"Fuck yo- AHHH SHIT!"

Mozenrath cursed as a famillar gold light emanated from his nemesis' hands

and stung his own, the glow enveloping him. He looked at Aladdin, who's face

matched his own in confusion.

Aladdin let go as if he had been holding something venomous, but he aura of

yellow still pursued Mozenrath relentlessly.

"What are you doing?" Mozenrath gasped in pain and anger, as his vision

turned gray at the edges, seeping in.

"I dont know..............." he heard Aladdin say through a roaring in his

ears...........

Aladdin watched as Mozenrath fell to his knees, tiredly as he flet himself

do the same. Somewhere in his mind he knew what was happening, he knew what

he was about to see. He just wish he didnt want to......
