Blinding white, howling air, cold breath
Heavy panting, moving fast, fur below
Riding a large creature to somewhere
Where will it bring me?
A village in the mountains
An alter of fire
An expecting young Maiden
Soon to have her unborn be given to the gods above.
White blinds of cold, piercing winds, frosted gasps
Armed with Bow and Knife
Riding the Alpha to somewhere far from where he came
Am I hunting…or searching?
People gather around the alters warmth
Waiting for the sacrifice to come about
The unborn child of the future mother
The Sage of the village brings about motions of hope to the youth
Freezing sheets of frost calm to show Black Tails flowing from earth
Rushing turned to Darting as the sight brought fear and hope blended
So too did the griping of the weapons on hand
Am I going to kill someone… or save them…?
The young woman with protruding belly and Kimono slowly approaches
Her Guardians give her a reassuring embrace
Sage of the temple motions for the girl to head towards the alter
Hesitantly she follows the Sage as if it be the last thing she will do
