He wasn't sure that there was hope, he looked pretty bad as it was. Though he was still breathing that was a good sign. Well at the least for the moment he was. When Elvara looked to Vaden and pleaded for help he nearly cringed knowing of a way to help but the odds that it would work were... slim to none. Not only that but it was dark magic, it was the type that was suppose to be forbidden. Though he was a master of such arts, he had certain permissions to use them. But the only way he could think of saving him would bind the two forever.

When Vaden didn't speak right away Zek moved a hand to Elvara's face lightly placing it there. "I .. should have told you." He laughed weakly knowing that he couldn't have told her even if he did he'd then have to force her to carry out the ritual. There were a number of things he wanted to say and the only thing he managed was his damned smart ass comment. He couldn't comfort her or say that everything was going to be alright. In truth he didn't think he was worth crying over, not all the hard times he had given her over the course of the trip.

Vaden shook his head a little before speaking, he only made his choice because Elvara still looked like she was willing to do anything to keep Zek here. Also the fact that he was even still breathing meant they had one shot at this. "There.. " he sighed a little before going on. "There is one way I know of that could save him."

When he noticed Elvara looking at him he decided to explain it a little more to her. "It's one of the blood rituals, it's success rate between two healthy bodies is a slim chance at best. Zek with his current condition . There is a high chance the ritual alone would kill him, or it could do just the opposite."

He stopped her before she could say she wanted to do it just like that, he had to warn her. "You should know that such rituals are forbidden.. your father will not approve for starts seeing as it will force you into a sort of half blood state instead of being a pure blood, there is also the chance that it could kill you as well as Zek in the process of it all. Even if the ritual goes over well it could still kill him." He paused a moment thinking more into this. "I'd offer to do it myself but blood relatives are forbidden from this such ritual." He sighed a little before looking back towards Elvara. "I can't tell you know, even if I didn't tell you bout the ritual you would probably go and try to seek some other source."

The choice over all was up to her, he had given her all of the warnings he could. Aside from the one he had forgotten about the two in the ritual will be bound for the rest of their days. In elven time that could pretty much be a eternity.
