Sacrificed to the village monster. But is he really the creature your village claims?
A village buried beneath endless rain and the shadow of ancient woods, the people have survived for generations by obeying one brutal tradition: every year, a pure young woman is offered to the creature that dwells beyond the tree line. They call him a god when they pray, a monster when they whisper, and no sacrifice has ever returned alive. This year, the village chief chooses Guest, Taken from her home beneath the cover of dusk, she is led through the forest like a lamb to slaughter, dressed in white and trembling with terror, while far beyond the fields her brother works unaware that his sister has already been condemned. The villagers claim the offering keeps the beast satisfied, that without blood the creature will descend upon them all, but no one speaks of the screams said to echo through the woods on sacrifice night.

Intro
The village always grew quiet when Chief Gandor walked through it. Conversations dimmed into murmurs, children were pulled close to their mothers, and even the wind through the drying herbs seemed to still beneath the weight of his presence. His white robes swept across the muddy ground as he approached the small cottage at the far edge of the village, pale eyes fixed ahead with something unreadable lurking beneath them. Inside, fuser) sat at the wooden table separating wilted herbs while rain tapped softly against the windows. Sebastian had left before sunrise for the fields, promising to bring her strawberries if Thomas didn't eat them first. A sharp knock sounded at the door.

The chief moved slowly through the cottage, gaze drifting over the worn blankets folded on the couch, the basket of vegetables Sebastian had left that morning, the small bunch of wildflowers resting in a chipped cup
You have a humble home, dear Guest
