Hope

Happiness bloomed within Eska's heart. Even if Ryu's condition was to marry her, she would accept in a heartbeat. 

She had never been with a man in her life, but she had already long since become a Sky God. The reasons she had used to put off love in the past were meaningless after reaching such a height. How could she focus on cultivation any more after reaching the pinnacle of all that there was? Maybe, somewhere deep within, she regretted never settling down and having a family of her own. 

Of course, she didn't have such feelings for Ryu. He was nothing more than a child in her eyes. At most, it would just be her sacrificing for the sake of her Clan, something she had already done plenty of in her life time, even down to tying her soul down to this place.
