"What a waste, you laid down your life for me, and yet your sacrifice was worth nothing in the end."
Tarian began to wonder if it was the right time to unleash the lightning in his blood, but he knew that doing so was admitting defeat, and Tarian had sworn to himself that he would die rather than allow his bloodline to win.
