The Skull watched over his people as they gathered for the sacrifice that would determine the weather and the crop that would come in. Since everyone wasn't able to come, those marked with blood represented villages and or towns spread across the island. The marked ones, kind of like lords that would come from royalty in more advanced social empires. The marked ones weren't only lords, but they were also elite warriors for the Blood God. Warriors found worthy to be granted eternal happiness. Their armor composed of their parents and their sanity of their flesh.

Before the ceremony began, the Skull allowed them all to kiss the tusk of boar, the dagger that would be used to severe the body parts of the young naked female that lay before them. The woman had her legs forced apart as the Skull spoke to her. He whispered only words she could hear, whilst the marked ones and the other Mayoak's remained quiet. He grabbed her hands and tied them together, then raised them above her head and pulled them back far enough for them to dislocate. She wasn't allowed to scream in pain because it was disrespectful to her god.

Her tears spilled from her face as her skin was twisted until her hands were fastened to the device she was spread out upon. The Skull, smiling as he did so, licked the girls face tasting her tears. He turned to the crowd of Mayaok's and stepped behind the girl. He grabbed her hair and forced it forward.

"I am proud to be sacrificed for the BLOOD GOD!" She screamed as in one swift movement, The Skull ripped her head from her shoulders with the help of his blade. Her blood spewed from every artery in her neck in quick bursts. The Skull watched intently as he read the signs that the Blood God gave him. Her heart stopped as she ran out of blood. The Skull pressed his tongue against her chest as he ran over her bloodied breasts and down to her stomach. He raised his head with a smile of pure terror.

"The Blood God is pleased with us! He will supply us with water for our crops! A storm of plenty will become," The Skull announced, "my beloved family... we will feast heavenly in the future to come. Wait..." The Skull turned quickly to the body that was shaking. The skin holding the lifeless body ripped apart as the girl jumped to her feet. Her arms dangling at her side by tendons. It grabbed the Skull and lifted him into the air.

"What! A black cloud! What does this mean?! How will it pass over us... a storm of fire," The Skull cried out as the girl held him up his hands holding hers, "we have been hidden for years! We will be ready for it!" The girl released the Skull as her body fell to the floor. The Skull clutched his throat gently as he felt the girls grasp.

"Marked Ones! Get to your homes! Something vile is coming our way," The Skull choked as he looked at the body laying on the floor.
