A thousand years have past since the Chief had sacrificed his soul for the salvation of his people and even twenty one years virgins had been sacrificed. Men and women's heads where placed on that shrine. However sacrificing twenty one virgins out of the village population was starting to have its effect so to combat this problem the villagers began to sacrifice virgins not from their village by opening up renttel huts for weary travelers. And it worked.
The 21 year cycle was coming to an end and with they harvest moon two days away the villagers needed to find their live sacrifice quickly. That's where Sky came in.
Sky was traveling to MineCity to see his boyfriend Deadlox who was in the army training to fight the mobs that would often attack the city. Now walking from his home town to MineCity was about a two day trip so Sky had to stop at a village at the half way point to spend the night. The village was named Savansdale. It was a small dessert village on the edge of the savanna biome.
As he walked into the village he couldn't help but feel he was being watched. Like he was being spied on but every time he turned around he would only see the villagers talking to eachother and carrying on with their daily lives. He shook the sense of unease from his mind thinking it was just his imagination. He walked up to a small stand with keys lined on the wall.
"May I help you?" Asked the short woman behind the counter.
"Yes I would like to rent a room for the night." He said with a charming smile. She handed him a clip board with a paper on it and a pen.
"Sign at the bottom please."
Sky didn't read the fine print and signed the line at the bottom. The woman took the the paper and looked at his signature.
"Ok" she said "that will be five emeralds."
Sky fished the emeralds out of his pocket and gave them to the lady, who in return gave him a key.
"You'll be staying in room five tonight. That's down the street to the left."
"Ok thanks." He turned away from the woman and started walking down the street. He was thinking about his beautiful boyfriend, soon to be fiancée, Deadlox. He was everything Sky wanted a me more. He pulled from his thoughts when he saw a familiar glimmer of yellow in the corner of his eye. He turned to look at it and saw a large outcrop of nether rack with a shrine at the top made with gold and ruby blocks. He stared at it for several minutes before shaking his head and unlocking the door. The room was a nice size. It had a small oven and counter. Along with a single bed and a small book case full of old looking books. Above the bed was a small painting of a sunset.
Sky tossed his bag on the counter and plopped down on the bed. The night had just set in and Sky had been walking since dawn so sleep came quickly to him.
