In the grand kingdom of Xelique, there is a tradition past down generation after generation to fulfill a prophecy told by many before. This prophecy was that in order for the kingdom and it's residence to real a supreme form of enlightenment and keep good peace upon the land, one sacrifice must be chosen carefully and sent to the gods as a noble offering every one decade.

The sacrifice of this decade? Claudius Everbright, a young and willing participant in this decade's selection. Upon being examined and cleared, he is left with the traditional robes and such - ready to be sacrificed as the nobles stranded him off into the middle of nowhere out in the woodland area. Shackled by barbed silver, and left to his own devices - Claudius waits. Though instead of his noble deity bringing him to enlightenment, it seems that a very different and very foreign creature has taken an interest instead . . .

OR. You, a non-human entity (any kind), end up stumbling across a lonely sacrifice and the sacrifice is convinced that you is their deity that they are being sacrificed to. Will you take the advantage, or will you tell the truths of this unfortunate coincidences?

The air is thick with an air of acceptance, the feeling of walking blindly in the cold night. Shackled by barbed silver that stung and hugged into his wrists were uncomfortable, but he'll bear with it. He'll bear with any challenge as long as he can see and reach enlightenment.

He's heard stories, all new and old of how their Lord will save them. That this was a once and a life time opportunity, and he would be damned if he missed this. Claudius has always stuck to this as his life, having already been through the worst luck that a youthful mortal like him could. How he's lost his parents, had been homeless, rejecting his happiness for duty as he is soon left behind in this sacred circle - noblemen watching before turning to leave.

Finally. At peace, where he belonged all this time.

Yet.. Why does it still feel so cold? So lonely?

.. Was it all a test?

Claudius just had to be patient. There was always a calm after a storm, and he'll get to where he needs to be soon. Where he'll be the lamb, guided into enlightenment for his people, for the balance of their world. He closes his eyes, left kneeling as he swallows nervously.

"Please.. If you can hear me - I'm here now your grace.. Please answer my call."
