Chapter 5: Scarlet Lake
Under the light of the blood moon, the wooden cage swayed, held on the shoulders of the four guards. The seven youths in red cloaks inside knew what awaited ahead. They could not change that, for they were the Sacrifices.

Kain smiled weakly, waking up with that view was not a bad thing. "Yeah... I guess so..."
Once in the corner, Kain glanced at the mark on his chest - now it was complete.
'I don't know what that menacing old man did, but before I passed out, I saw a stream of runes. Hm. If I'm a Sacrifice, I've gone to the next level right now, something like that, right?''
