In ancient times, there was a village that worshiped a powerful goddess. Every hundred years, the village is ordered to send a male sacrifice up to the temple on the mountain overlooking the village, or their village will be cursed. Julius was chosen to be the next sacrifice.
As he climbed the mountain, he began to tremble more in fear. What was going to happen to him? Was he going to be devoured by some beast? Would he become some sort of slave for the remainder of his life? He had no idea what would happen. His old life was now over. No more working in the fields with his father, coming home to a delicious meal made by his mother, getting to cause mischief with is friends, and he won't even get to hit if off with that cute peasant girl that always eyed him.
Finally reaching the temple, he looked inside. "Hello?" He called out, expecting someone to greet him. Priests, monks, somebody. There was no answer. "I-I was chosen to be the sacrifice." He called out again, but still no answer. Was this all just a hoax? An old joke they play on each other? As he stepped in, he continued to call out, but no answer.
After taking a few steps, he became blinded by a light. The floor disappeared from underneath him, but he wasn't really falling. When he finally regained his sight, he was in a different place now. No longer was he in an old temple, but he was now in some sort of forest. "H-Hello?" He called out again, a little more terrified of what was happening. He was one surrounded by plants and wildlife he never saw. Was this some kind of sorcery?
