A soft but cold draft passed by the rusty iron bars surrounding her cell. The rather thin fabric that cut off just above her ankles didn't help much to keep her warm the past few days. With her fingers all blue from the frost, Elisa rubbed her sore wrists. A pair of tough, cold handcuffs had kept her to the left side of the cell. All of this made no sense to Elisa, why was she the one held captured? The unknown clan that had rushed through her village picked up several others, but none of them were kept for so long. Yesterday 2 little boys and their mother got picked up by two guards dressed in lousy crafted armor. The iron was dented and didn't even look smooth unlike what her father had always worn during the war. Before them, and this is just by listening, a group of teenager girls left the cells as well. Their horrible screaming and crying sneered through Elisa's brain, making her head throb.
"You. Get up!" With a groan the guard stepped inside and tugged the shackles on the wall. It made Elisa grunt silently, getting up from her stone bench. "Where are we going?" The words barely left her lips, since she couldn't feel much of them. Without another word the guard opened up the lock around her wrists, and instead of giving them some air, he bound them up again with thick rope. "I guess this is it.. Am I going to die?" A hand grasped Elisa her hair and pushed her out of the cell. "A-Auch! Get the hell off me!" She mumbled, turning her head to the left, making his grasp loosen up. Another push at the back of her head made her step down a stone stairwell, all the way down to some sort of old temple. There were loads of people sitting around, some getting on their feet when the guard pushed Elisa down a path in the middle. Some cheered whilst lifting up their axes or swords. Towards the center of the temple, he held his pose, and awaited the arrival of 5 white cloaked, hooked men. "The sacrifice, my master." The guard spoke loudly when they all stood around the duo. "S-Sacrifice..?"
