Chap 5: running out of time

4 days has past and none of the 6 Greencloacks were able to find the cure, Lenori sent out more Greencloacks to look in the mourning but when they returned they had found nothing.


"It's ok w-we will find it! I-I know we will!" Ekko said to Tarik tears in her eyes, Tarik just looked at her and gave a weak smile as he laid in bed mostly unmoving.


"I know you will...." Tarik said weakly, after the trip to Nilo Tarik and Ekko have grown more close to each other, Ekko wanted to go and look for the cure as well but she just couldn't bear leaving Tarik's side in his time of need. with time running out...she couldn't leave his side again...


"Ekko.." Lenori said entering the room. Ekko turns so she could face Lenori "can I ask of you to go and help look for the cure again today?" Lenori asked kneeling down to her Ekko's eye level.


"What? No! I'm staying here!" Ekko says turning back to Tarik.


"Ekko if it wasn't for that fact that Yuki could use her great sense of smell to find this cure then I wouldn't have asked, but right now we need your help." Lenori a little more firmly says putting a hand on her shoulder, "for Tarik's sake I ask of you to go and help find this cure." Lenori says Ekko is silent "I'll let you think it over, Connor and Birggan are doing the same but results are very little maybe a none great beast is more useful, because it hasn't past that its powers and links to the partner are more stronger then one who was once never linked to a human" Lenori says leaving the room. Ekko sat there for awhile thinking


"....I'll be back" Ekko says looking at Tarik who had closed his eyes at this point.  "I'm going to help" Eko said shivering a little and left the room, "Lenori!" She called out "I'm going to help" she says with a  firm nod as the greencloak turned 


"Thank you Eko this is truly amazing come with me" Lenori said leading her outside
