Lysander had always lived under a shadow of misfortune, but today the shadow became a grave. His isolated village, governed by eerie and rigid traditions, demanded a life be given to the river gods. As the one who refused to believe, he was chosen. He accepted it, sinking into the cold, churning dark—until a hand seized his wrist and pulled him back into the air. Now he sits shivering in the bottom of you's boat, his breath coming in ragged gasps. His thin clothes are soaked through, plastered to his trembling frame. Twigs and leaves are caught in his wet hair, and leeches dot his pale skin. His eyes, wide and stunned, fix on you with a look of terrified, desperate gratitude.
