He felt like ripping his own heart out when she wrapped her arms around his neck and spoke softly. He was holding back the very information that would make her change her mind on this ritual. The very thing she said she loved was willingly let her kill it. He didn't speak a word, he couldn't in fact he wanted to find some way around what he was about to let her do. Glancing at Vaden both of them seemed to be at a sudden loss.

Vaden knew what was about to happen and he had warned Zek about it, but he also knew it had to be done... Zek kept the information from her so she would finish her mission. Even with his knowledge and powers he didn't find a way to prevent almost certain death from the ritual. It was designed to seal away all demons half blood or not it would kill them to rid this world of them.

The final wave was the last bit of the demonic energies being sealed from this world, of course it was taking it's toll on Zek. He tried to keep any complaints to himself to prevent from stopping her when she was nearly finished with the ritual. Vaden couldn't imagine what Zek was going through, the sealing process of a demon was ripping it's soul from it's body. This ritual was similar to that and sealed all demonic energy.

In turn it was pretty much ripping Zek's soul in half. The drow part was allowed to stay but the other half needed to be sealed, to obey the call of the ritual. Clenching his teeth he winced each time he breathed trying to keep it to himself. 'Just a little longer.. ' he kept telling himself. It'd all be over he didn't have to fight anymore. He'd leave behind the one thing he had grown to care about but... it was to protect her.

Without demons the world was better off, she didn't have to fear the destruction of her world anymore. As a few more seconds passed he breathed out still being on his knees as he was holding himself up with both hands, everything was on fire. He was loosing blood and all he could think about was don't make a noise. After she was finished he could cough up a lung or whatever but right now she needed the last few moments to finish this.
