Han Li was very excited, but also very conscious of the danger this creature posed to everyone here. He had brought along his most powerful protectors. The seven people beside him were Curse Bearers, servants, protectors, and guardians of the Spirit Child. As the Spirit Child of the Han tribe, Han Li was very well protected, and the tribe leader had not stinted on the power of his followers.
All Curse Bearers were chosen and trained since childhood to protect the Spirit Child, ensuring that he or she would fulfill their duty to take the tribe to a new level of power and spiritual enlightenment. When Han Li was born after five years in his mother's womb, these Curse Bearers began their duty. In total, there were seventy-seven Curse Bearers. Han Li had brought only seven with him. This was not because he was underestimating the power of the Harbinger but because they were the most he could bring for his Shana.
