Will there be a cure for being a strigoi

I like the theory, but personally I don't think Spirit would be able to charge a stake. I think there's something about it that's ungovernable in the way the other 4 elements are. I reckon spirit would have a stronger chance healing a strigoi, but I just can't see it happening through a stake.

I agree with the fact that Spirit is unpredictable, but I think Adrian and Lissa have succeeded in taming it a bit.
Anyway, it's a possibility!!

Yeah, but remember that Adrian isn't that good in Spirit so the chances are low if it's only up to Lissa. I don't think Lissa is strong enough though.

Actually, I think Adrian's pretty good.
He sees auras.
He can communicate through dreams
He is beginning to get the healing ability
He has compulsion

Lissa though, only heals.
She once made a hallucination but only under A LOT of stress.

Adrain has expanded his power and Lissa hasn't. Therefore, I think they are either equal or he is stronger.

Oh, now that you mention it, then yeah he does help.

Somehow, I have a feeling Dimitri is going to die.

I can't disagree with you there, Adrian and Lissa have both done a pretty good job with what they have. As to Adrian gaining more powers, well he has had a few more years to explore his own powers and I doubt he had someone like Rose sitting on his shoulder telling him not to use his crazy powers, he's had more time to embrace it. And even though he smokes and drinks to dull down the affects of Spirit he was never on power-stopping drugs.
However, what I believe about the unpredictable part is that there's still so much of Spirit no-one knows about. Lissa and Adrian thought the hallucinations (ie. Super-Compulsion) were myths, they weren't sure anyone could actually do it. Which proves that it's practically ungovernable. I wouldn't like to trust having a Spirit charged stake if I wasn't exactly sure which part of Spirit I was putting in it.

I don't want it to happen, but I have that fear too.

I agree with the person that said were aren't really going to get any answers 'till Spirit Bound.


There are so many things that could happen though. I'm like omg!

I think Richelle is too smart to kill him.
VA without Dimitri would be... really, really weird.
Besides, Rose would change because of it.

If she does end up killing him off, I doubt it'll be in Blood Promise. Like you said lizzyvamp, VA without Dimitri wouldn't be too fun.

Spirit Bound? Is that the fifth book's title?

yes, Spirit Bound is the title

I thought it was TBA.
So, VA, Frostbite, Shadow Kiss, Blood Promise and Spirit Bound?
Sounds good.

That's right

So the title is called Spirit Bound right? What does that mean? I mean, I think it has something to do with Lissa and Adrian using their spirit powers to do something big and important. Right? Or maybe It's Lissa and Rose?

No idea what it means. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. From just the title, I think it sounds too similar to "Shadow Kiss" because obviously they both have something to do with "the bond"...but I'm hoping it takes a different turn.

well she did kill mason......so but idk we all just have 2 wait i know it will be hard but...we gots 2!!!!

Yeah but Rose didn't kill Mason, the vamps did. There was no way for Lissa to save Mason she was too far away.

Ok so I was thinking back to the theory of how Lissa might be able to change Dimitri back to Dhampir. I think you all could be onto something in saying that Rose would have to kill him first..only because remember at the end of SK... Rose ask's Lissa to heal Dimitri..Lissa says she can't..but Rose doesn't give her time to explain why..she just gets upset. So maybe Lissa knows that she can't heal him if he is strigoi.

I'm not sure if that's why she said it, I think it was more along the lines of not healing people because of personal affection for them. If she'd healed Dimitri to the point for bringing him back from the dead then she might have to do so for a whole bunch of other people who were injured, hurt or dead because they wanted to be healed. She refused because she now understands that things and people have to die, depsite wanting to use her magic and despite healing a fair we wounded people after the strigoi attack.

I know..and good point..but I can't help but think that maybe there is more to it than that..a girl can hope right

i would like Rose to kill Dimitri but then Lissa bringing him back but then if that were possible, again I say he would have a bond with Lissa also & that wouldn't be right on the whole story.

I liked a theory I read, that Adrian heals Dimitri when he's dead and becomes shadow kissed with Adrian.
It would be weird but better than Dimitri being dead.

Regardless that is just selfish on Lissa's part because in Va not only did Rose try to save Christian from the hounds she also let Lissa feed off her so that she could save Christian.

Spoiler:

Do you guys think that after all is said and done rose will get another shot at becoming a guardian? Instead of a drop out especially seeing as she was so close to graduating.

Regardless i think with or with out that stupid guardian tattoo Rose is and always will be a kick ass guardian. She's by far more experienced than the other novices and even Dimitri says she understands what it means to be a guardian more than most other adult guardians. So mark or no mark if I was lissa or adrian or any other moroi for that matter i would want her guarding me.

I completely agree with you Jill. Lissa shouldn't be so selfish at time, especially when this is the only think that Rose has asked of her.

As to the guardian thing, I think she'd be the best guardian they have (or at least one of them because I don't know what every guardian is like) but at the same time I doubt they'll let her protect someone. They'll be nervous about her thoughts, wondering if she'd just up and leave whenever she felt the situation demanded it. I like Lissa, Christian and Adrian would side with her, but their opinions might not matter in the long run.

I also agree.

Lissa should have supported Rose on anything since Rose is always protecting and looking up for her.
Lissa was being really selfish.

I hope to see Lissa learn how to be a better friend to rose in the next books. So far it seems like a one sided relationship.

I don't think Lissa's a bad friend, I just think she was so used to the friendship arrangement they had going on that she wasn't open to the idea of Rose changing it as suddenly as she did. Until the ghost sightings and strigoi attacks Rose was suppressing the changes she wished would occur to the point that informing Lissa of them didn't ever cross her mind (or at least she told herself she didn't want Lissa to know which in a way was her avoiding changing what they had) and then Lissa get's thrown into this pre-developed change in their relationship and she reacted in a way that probable wasn't the best option in the world.
That being said I don't blame Rose for wanting a change and think Lissa was a bit of a dipstick for not realising that something was up for Rose in the past few months. Even if Rose was suppressing her ... needs (?), she still presented a slight change outwardly.
