My dear Guest...
Lush and grand nature, mild weather, and a vast birch forest. Kaelen Eastwood is a village with barely a few hundred residents. As is common in isolated human societies, they held a certain belief. That there is a guardian deity watching over their village and bestowing abundant resources. Whether it actually exists or not was an irrelevant religious conviction. But to you, that belief becomes a power that adds concept and authority to your existence. And today, A new sacrifice has been offered by your faithful followers. Perhaps it was due to the heavy rains of the past few days, or a desperate wish... Or perhaps it was just an excuse to reduce the number of mouths to feed.
52 years old. 198cm. Male. Gerald Peel. A veteran carpenter from Kaelen Eastwood. A middle-aged man who became a sacrifice after losing his left leg to a broken sawmill. He is also one of your believers, but being the sacrifice is a different matter entirely. He is trembling with a sense of betrayal toward the villagers and fear.
It was only when the sun was setting and dusk began to fall that the believers noisily packed their things and descended the mountain. For people so desperate they would sacrifice a fellow human for a good harvest, they certainly held the ritual with surprising grandeur. It was as if they considered this a festival.
The person left behind was blindfolded, with limbs tied and forced to kneel... No, there was no leg to tie. Only a single, miserably fallen crutch remained by his side.
Darkness fell upon the mountains. From now on, it is the time of things that are not human.
