He mentioned something about the "center" or our bodies, how it's different for different cultures. Like here is the Heart. "Don't break my heart." And somewhere else, like Korea, it's the Liver. "Hey, you make my liver quiver." Everything in quotes is what he said in the video. He was very hilarious</p> This just reminded me of Mark Lowry in a video I was watching of it.

I.e. the fox demon eats a human liver to become more powerful.</p> Actually that was reference to Korean lore and the liver is considered to be the seat of human power/energy/chi/ki/however you want to put it in Korean Lore.

“I can’t say I know how she thinks, but I’m pretty sure her first impulse upon meeting you would be to see what your liver tastes like.”

I’m not entirely sure why, but a Family Guy episode popped up in my head when I included that.

“The Fed will be lowering rates, get your money out of T-bills and put it all into waffles livers! Tasty waffles livers with lots of syrup!”

He said that no one ever really dies in sci-fi. You can kill someone off as a tool to move the story along, and eventually bring them back in a variety of novel ways should it be necessary. I feel that's sort of a cheap trick. Actions should have consequences, both short and long term. If you step in front of a cannon that's about to go off, you are going to die. Someone is bound to see this happen and it's going to affect them for the rest of their days.</p> <p>Now, given, there's also very obvious acceptance of this "cheap trickery" in the existence of immortals in Jadyn's universe.

Now, given, there’s also very obvious acceptance of this “cheap trickery” in the existence of immortals in Jadyn’s universe. They step in front of the cannon, die, and wake up later with indigestion. In the meantime, someone still saw it happen. Whether or not they stuck around to see the aftermath, it’s still going to affect them in some way.

On the other hand, death can mean a lot of things. As one example that comes to mind, in the first book of Jean M. Auel’s Earth’s Children saga, “The Clan of the Cave Bear,” the protagonist is driven out from her adopted Clan family temporarily - and eventually permanently - by a ‘death curse.’

Anyway, it pleases me to no end to see guesses going on. There’s been more than once that I’ve read a comment or an email and thought, “Damn! Why didn’t I think of that?”

At first, I thought that the ninetail had created an epic-level illusion that made everyone think that he were another Evanson boy, letting him fire freely at Tari to serve her her punishment of death. It certainly is in the realm of possibility of ninetails, imo.</p> <p>Having to wait for stories to be written is a bit of a change for me. I am too used to having tvtropes as an analytical crutch. Keep up the stories. :3</p> Sounds like the story is getting set up for a Jadyn - Kitsune confrontation.

Having to wait for stories to be written is a bit of a change for me. I am too used to having tvtropes as an analytical crutch. Keep up the stories. :3

I mean, no matter what, people should always hear both sides of the story, not just jump to conclusions because the majority has the same story. There have been facts that prove the majority can be wrong.</p> <p>Now, having T'bia appear and help heal Tari is a good way of bring everybody back together. I'll assume that if Tari really will die, then either Lenard and/or Jayden will try there best to save her. If instead it's where she will lose her Kitsune powers, then Lenard will most likely do everything, including going to the ends of the earth and beyond, to help her get back what she lost. I'm just guessing here. But I still love reading the stories.</p> Death, isn’t that a bit harsh?
