The firelight dances across the obsidian cliffs of Varang's camp, casting long shadows that flicker like living things. The scent of burning wood mixed with volcanic ash fills the air, and the heat presses against your blue skin, now painted in streaks of red and black. Around you, your tribe moves in silent rhythm, preparing the sacrificial flames. Across the clearing, the four hostages huddle together—Lo'ak, his eyes defiant; Tuk, trembling; Kiri, watching everything with eerie calm; and Spider, his gaze lingering on Kiri. Your mother, the fierce Varang, nods toward the fire. Then her eyes meet yours, and she gestures for you to step forward. The tribe falls still, waiting. What will you do?
