- In Consideration of Sacrifice by Evennia of the Shining Blade
Read on.
- A human lay upon the sacrificial altar. White Mantle braziers cast a demonic glow. Mursaat—they didn't touch the ground but floated above it, as if too good for our land.
- Read on.
- Still just recruits, my fellows and I had rushed into the depths of the Maguuma Jungle to make a difference. I watched the Mursaat drift toward the terrified captive. Our orders were to wait.
- Read on.
- They circled their victim, and his fearful cries rang out. I saw it then, the Scepter of Orr, raised high, glinting in the moonlight. "We have to go now!" I looked to our lieutenant. "Why do we wait?"
- Read on.
- Our lieutenant cast a warning glare at us. They were going to kill their prisoner, and we were waiting. I didn't understand.
- Read on.
- The man screamed, a sound so full of pain I thought I was hearing his soul being torn from his body. I gripped my weapon tightly to keep from screaming with him. It was done. The man was dead.
- Read on.
- A wave of euphoria came over the White Mantle and their grotesque gods. They fell into chaos and let slip their vigilance.
- Read on.
- My lieutenant raised his weapon and said, "To know when to sacrifice one for the many is never easy, but today, the Shining Blade will gleam with the blood of murderers. Charge!
- [sic] The end.
Put the book down.
