Thea's Self Sacrifice???!

Hope Island…

Thea stepped forward, her hand trembling as she gripped Das's tightly. Her small fingers intertwined with his, and with a flicker of determination, she channeled the strength of the animal spirits.

Even as half of their family lay slain, Ryon Taurus and his bloodline did not flinch. Not one of them stepped forward to sacrifice their lives to pass the weapon spirit to Das. The chilling resolve in their eyes spoke volumes; they would rather die than submit.

Suddenly, a sharp cry pierced the air.
