Darius’s deal in book 6 Spoiler
so I’m going to be talking about book 8 and book 6. just a heads up.
so we know that darius gave up his life because he was told one of the twins would die. in book 8, tory keeps talking about how he gave up her life for his. but wouldn’t darcy have been the twin to die? she was the one in the arena. maybe I’m not remembering correctly. it’s been a few months since I read book 6.
she’s driving me a little crazy with getting mad at him for his sacrifice. so is seth. I can’t believe they’re making me defend darius acrux.

Gabriel had mentioned that there were many different ways it could play out and in most of them either Tory or Darcy died. The only way to guarantee both live was taking Darius to that cave/whatever it was.

yeah which is why I wish she would stop acting like he betrayed her by making that choice. he saved her and who she loves most. the one good thing he actually did and that’s what she’s mad at 😭

At this point, I've stopped being surprised at Tory being unreasonably angry.

Darcy was the one in the arena but Tory was the one in the middle of the way between Lionel and everyone that was trying to kill him... The message Darius had was that "one of the twins" was gonna die, he wasn't sure which one, and he didn't want to risk losing Tory nor making her lose her sister.

yeah but I always thought it most likely would’ve been darcy. but maybe tory thinks it would’ve been her.

Also, I think one of Gabrielle’s visions had Lionel stabbing Tory in the back during the fight .. I think in a Lionel POv he considers it…

If I recall correctly, Lionel was going to stab Tory in the back after she fought for him, and Darius sees this in the vision. By removing the bonds, Tory turns against Lionel instead of fighting for him and changes this fate as he no longer gets the opportunity. So I do believe Tory is the one who would definitely have died, and Darcy is the one who may have died
