CCXLII. Never Give Up

"I have been on this island for almost a month, as a prisoner. I knew they had no interest in me, but they were going to use me as bait. I didn't know their target was you, they never talked about it in my presence. Dag, I will not ask you where these giant dark claws leaking out of your back come from, or why your right eye changed color... but I know one thing: if an entire Clan has set a trap for a single warrior, it means that you are the thing they fear the most... and if they fear you, it means that they are afraid of the power you could unleash" she exclaimed, clutching the sword she had gathered from the ground in her hands, remaining focused on her enemies.

"I don't think I would have said that in these circumstances, but... my sister is right, Dag. You're the only one who can get us out of here safely, don't lose hope" added Karl, who looked at his childhood friend, smiling.
