The Sacrifice- Prologue . Content Warning.
Everything is in order. I've checked and double-checked with everyone. All the players know their place and what to do. I glance around the room, and every tribe on Atija is here. The royal family of the Juerfea just showed. The Illurian Chief and her tribe and the Empress of the Uskiu, Lumeria, and her people are hosting. This is perfect. All the plans are falling into place, and everyone will be present for this year's spectacle. It takes months of preparation for The Sol Festival. Every three years, we come together on the Deep of Portia to celebrate the convergence of our suns. The festival is always so lively and exuberant, and this year will be no different. We will make this sol festival one to remember.
