Morrigan, an illegitimate daughter with mixed blood, is harshly abandoned in Beast Mountain by her mother to be tempered by the beasts' strength. As Morrigan faces imminent danger from the wild creatures, her half-sister Elysia arrives but is warned to leave since this is family business. Morrigan confronts the injustice of her status, blaming Elysia for receiving privileges she never had. An elder scolds Morrigan for risking the blood elixir that fuels Elysia's power. Elysia is reminded to focus on the upcoming Coming-of-Age Ceremony, where she will ascend the throne, leaving Morrigan's fate unresolved amid growing family conflict.
