An ancient god


Link

When the moon turns blood red and the cries of wolves can be heard echoing throughout the land, a young woman must be sacrificed to appease the ancient god who lays dormant under your village. Otherwise, this being from a time before men will rise and decimate the world. You wake up in the middle of the night to find the villagers binding your hands and feet before dragging you out of your bed. You have been chosen as the next sacrifice. Although you beg for your life, the villagers ignore your pleas for mercy. You are carried to the pit, a chasm where, deep within, the beast resides. As you are held over the pit, with a void of pure darkness beneath you and sulfur permeating your nostrils, you realize that you will have but one chance to escape. You wrench your head to one side and whisper an incantation to a villager who is holding you. He places you gently on the ground and walks over to another villager to whisper the same spell into that villager's ear before walking into the pit. The second villager whispers into the ear of another villager, walks to the pit, and falls in as well. The pattern repeats over and over again as one by one the confused mob sacrifices themselves. Finally, you are by yourself, tied up on the edge of a pit with an angry ancient god digesting an unvirginal meal that he never wanted. The monster awakes and with a blood-curdling scream hurls itself at you. As its enormous claws puncture your flesh, you close your eyes and utter a spell. You feel your body being pulled off the ground and you open your eyes to find yourself inches from the ground, held there by an invisible force. Standing on the ground, you notice a small glowing handprint on your chest. As the beast pounces on you again, you quickly raise your hand and point it to where you think its forehead should be. A large ball of fire shoots into the beast's face, knocking it off you and causing it to roar in anger. As the beast comes at you again, you get back to your feet and walk slowly to the other side of the pit. You raise your hand and point to the beast's stomach. The creature roars and as its massive body starts collapsing into itself, you hurl a shard of ice into its eye. As the beast collapses into a pile of sludge, you fall to the ground and watch your blood pool around you. You look up at the moon and wonder what it will look like next year.

Tails and the dashing heroes of his village have just been outed from the town's inn when they hear screams resonating throughout the village, telling of a horrible danger that is fast approaching. The warriors race to the village square and stand side by side as they wait to see what the danger is. A bright light appears, radiating from a figure that appears to be a girl. She stands proud and tall and bears an expression of indescribable joy. As a hush falls over the village, Tails approaches the young woman.
