"WHAT ARE YOU THINKING RIGHT NOW?!!"

"EXPLAIN THIS MUGHA!!"

"YOU SAID WE CAN CHOOSE!! ELDER!! WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS?!"

The commotion started to spread and out of control. No one could accept with those fighters outfit. It's the same as saying that doing the last howl sacrifice ritual was their only option.

"LISTEN TO ME!" Mugha shouted once again

They were willing to listen. At the very least, they wanted to get an explanation from him.

"this is our decision. All of the fighters agreed with it"

"there's no way my son would..."

One of the villagers looked at his son and got a very determined looks from his eyes.

"father, i will give my soul to save our tribe"

"wha..... what are you saying?!! we can leave this village and start over at the north!"

"and throw my pride as a fighter?'

"yes!! your life is more important than your pride!!"

"....no, it's not father"

-krrrrrrrrr-

His father stepped foward and shouted at him.

"how you can't understand such a simple thing?!!! you always can keep your pride as long as you live!!"

The atmosphere were getting tense and the other villagers were silent. Most of them had the same thought with him. Why did their family need to sacrifice themselves?

"....i thought that at first.. but Mugha said something that really made sense"

He took a deep breath.

"i was chosen to become a fighter by our beast god ROGNIR. I had been blessed by these blessings.. blessings to protect our family and tribe"

"that's why you don't need to do this! we will move to the north and you will protect us"

"and what father? when we face another threat, then we will run away again? to the west?"

"DO YOU REALIZE WITH WHAT YOU JUST..."

"father!!"

He stopped his father's words, then he continued to tell his reason.

"I've gotten all these blessings to protect this village! as a proud and mighty Half-beast from Ohre village! and by abandoning this village, it simply means denying all of the blessings that are given to us!"

"OUR BEAST GOD ROGNIR CHOSE ME AND THE OTHERS AS THE FIGHTERS! THAT MEANS WE MUST DO EVERYTHING TO ANSWER THAT!!"

-drap-

-drap-

All the fighters stomped their feet to the ground as a response to their comrade's words.

"IF WE ARE REALLY THE PROUD AND MIGHTY HALF-BEAST FROM THE SOUTH, IF WE ARE TRULY THE CHILDREN OF ROGNIR, THEN..."

He took a breath before he continued his words.

"this is the time to prove it...we will answer our apostle's call. We will summon our furr'dhad"

"how can you be so sure?! even our shaman can't confirm that.." His father tried to deny that

"RHAL'VHATEQ FURR'DHAD!!" He shouted

"RHAL'VHATEQ FURR'DHAD!!"

"BY THE PROTECTION OF OUR BEAST GOD ROGNIR!!"

"FROM EARTH TO EARTH!!"

All the fighters voice ringed in the entire plaza. Everyone could feel that they didn't have any doubt in their mind.

His father was totally losing his words. He turned at their elder and gave his protest.

"elder...you said we could choose..."

"yes, i said that, and i still meant it"

"look at them!! what's choice that we have?!" He pointed toward the fighters

"I don't understand Bahni... we have two choices"

"don't give me that elder... they totally want to sacrifice themselves!! how could you agree with that..."

"ENOUGH! I give all of you two choices.... they've already made their choice.. now it's your turn" He looked at him

His voice made all of the villager realizing the situation that they were facing. All the fighters had made their choice, and now it's up to them. There were more of them, so the villagers were the majority. Whatever that they decided would be the choice that would be taken for this matter.

"I'll repeat it once again!! we have two choices!! leave this village and go to the north or summon our furr'dhad with the last howl sacrifice ritual!!"

One of them raised their hand and asked him.

"elder.... could we have more time to think about this?"

"he's right, this is a very big decision..." The other responded

"I'm definitely not letting my son taking that ritual!!"

-whaaa-

The villagers couldn't hide their worries. The elder knew, he need to tell them with what he just heard this morning.

"unfortunately.. we don't have that much time..."

"and why's that elder?"

"...Shanti....could you explain it?"

"yes, elder" She nodded

She moved forward and closed her eyes. The villagers waited for her words.

"this morning.... our beast god told me... this..."

-fuuh-

"three days at most... our end will come... apostle is the only one..."

They were really surprised with her words. Three days? those humans would come to their village again in three days?

"I hope.. all of you understand now.." The elder sighed
