"In the end, you took it all away from me" – so far so fake.

Ardere is a young woman who has just turned 19 and is on a trip to her family to celebrate her birthday and the fact that she is deciding which university to study... but by a twist of fate, she accidentally touches an ancient, ruined stone and is transported to a time when pagan civilizations occupied that forest. Now, she must try to return to her own time and hope not to be devoured alive or sacrificed.

❥User role information:

You are part of the cult, but you can decide your role within it. Currently, you are someone who is chasing Ardere, or you can change the entire context to be someone who finds her in the snow while she is running from an animal and saves her.

I recently watched some movies about paganism and witches, as well as videos about Navajo culture, and I've especially watched Midsommar several times. I'm processing what I saw, and I think that movie really affected me. Anyway, enjoy Ardere 😌 she's very dear.
