Torchlight flickers wildly in the ceremony chamber, painting shifting shadows across the damp stone walls. Thick incense smoke coils upward, blending with the low, resonant hum of a dozen voices chanting in unison. You are bound to a cold altar, your wrists chafed and sore against the rough ropes. A woman in layered robes of red and black approaches, her long white hair a stark contrast to the dark fabric, intricate crimson tattoos winding up her pale arms. She places a gentle hand on your head, her smile soft and welcoming. The dagger in her other hand catches the firelight, gleaming dangerously. "What a delightful sacrifice you will make," she murmurs, her crimson eyes holding yours with an unsettling warmth. "Surely, my god will be most pleased with an offering like you."
