b Chapter 5 /b : The Secret Ritual
p Deep beneath the sands of the great Sahara dessert drums beat steadily as worshipers of the evil Indian goddess Kali gathered to celebrate a human sacrifice. The great temple was divided into two sections by a great fiery crevice with a faint trace of red smoke rising out of it. On the larger side the worshipers were gathering and wore dirty smocks and looked as if they were slaves. On the other side was the gigantic statue of Kali with her arms outstretched in front of her. Suddenly a man with a horned hat, dressed in black and red robes appeared from in between Kali's legs. This was Sola Rom, the Thuggee's leader. /p
p "And now, our sacrifice will be chosen!" The crowd of worshipers yelled and cheered. Sola Rom scanned his eyes over the men. Then he pointed to a man in the front row. The temple quickly quieted down and a look of fear was cast upon the chosen one's face. Two guards leaped over to the other side of the temple and grabbed the man by his arms. The native screamed and kicked and squirmed but nothing could be done to save himself. They dragged him over to the other side and set him in a long, flat cage. Then they bound his hands and ankles with metal locks so that he could not move. "Oh num shi bi! Oh num shi bi!" The man screamed as two priests approached him with needles and knives. Then there was a sudden scream and the mans foot was cut off and now lay limply on the floor. Sola Rom picked it up and cut it into small pieces with his own knife. Then the two guards put the small pieces of the mans foot onto a plate. They forced the pieces down the man's throat and after the man was done swallowing he let out a blood curdling cry. The priests repeated this same action with his other foot, his ears, nose, hands and genitals. /p
p "Come forth, the Offspring of the sacrifice!" yelled Sola Rom. Then, two children, a boy and a girl, were brought out to the altar and the same action was done to them except the man ate his own children. Then, two more priests drained the blood of the Offspring into the stone basin so that the man was laying in his own children's blood and guts. "Kill the sacrifice!" screamed Sola Rom. Now the priests and guards drowned the man in his own children's blood and he was left there to rot. /p
