THE DANKO’S HEART
As the dark times descends, the courageous young man named Danko appears and sacrifices himself for the sake of others. He tears his chest up, and rises his flaming heart, as a lantern.

The statue represents a stone candle with mountain ridges of the mysterious land of Shambhala, which is believed to be found in the Altai Mountains.

Love is a driving force for every man. Without it it’s impossible to encourage and lead; be kind and do good for others. This very force is what leads the fictional hero.
