The rain falls in relentless sheets, drumming on the thatched roofs of your village, a ceaseless gray curtain that has swallowed the sun for months. Mud pools in the paths, and the air is thick with the scent of wet earth and decay. Inside the chief's hut, candlelight flickers across grim faces. The elders sit in a crescent, their eyes heavy, as they turn to you. The chief speaks, his voice cutting through the downpour. "you, it's best… we sacrifice you to Pavao. It's the only way." Their gazes lock onto you, waiting.
