In a desperate bid to free those he loves from the reign of the Immortal, the Magi signs a bloodbond. The bloodbond is an ancient contract between the signee and the elves Lord God. While he knows that this choice may leave some questioning his tactic, the Magi knows that the only way to end the Immortal interference with the lives of those he loves more than his own life, he willingly signs his life away with the bloodbond. Knowing that the Immortal will never cease in his fascination with the Elf King and his family, the Magi resolves that the only method in which he can end the Immortal's tyranny over the elven kingdoms is to offer him what he desires the most - the identity of the Magi, himself. It is a desperate gamble, and one he does not take lightly. In an effort to prepare for the eventuality that lurks with the bloodbond, the Magi begins the harsh distancing of himself from those he needs the most.
