"No." He said, looking up at Ryan. "The only reason the sea goddess Teluana would spare anyone is for them to be sacrificed to Manou." He said before turning around to the people. "Prepare the offering for Manou!" He yelled. "Manou!" The people chanted before scattering.

"Sacrificed!? No please!" I said as they continued to carry me.

The villagers just continued chanting as Ryan's was carried toward one of the far huts. Before she was taken inside Ryan noticed a statue and an alter that had been hidden from view by the largest hut. Inside the hut she was bound to a wooden stake in the center. The men walked out of the hut, two remaining outside as guards, as 3 woman walked in. Two were her about her age and slim while the older one was very plump. One of the young woman placed a wreath of flowers around Ryan's neck while the other held a bowl for the older woman.

The older woman dipped two fingers into the bowl as she grabbed Ryan's arm with her other hand. She took her two fingers and began spreading some kind of paste into different designs. Looking at the design Ryan recognized them from being on the alter. "Manou will be pleased once he awakens and rises into the sky." The older woman said as she continued spreading the paste in designs over Ryan's body.

"What are you doing to me?" I asked her out of fear.

"Making you ready." She said as the paste seemed to be absorbing into Ryan's skin. Ryan ran a hand over the markings on her arm, finding she couldn't easily rub the markings off. As the woman was about to start on Ryan's face the three of them turned as a ruckus started outside. "Fire! Fire!" They heard people screaming as the two guards took off in the direction of the shouting. The older woman and the young one holding the bowl walked outside and followed, leaving Ryan with the young woman who had placed the reath of flowers on her.

"Hey! Let me out of here please!" I said to the young girl.

She turned to Ryan with a nervous look on her face. "If I do then I could end up taking your place. A sacrifice must be made." She said fearfully. She then looked to her left, hearing a twig snap outside the hut.

"Huh? Something's out there" I said looking in the direction the snap came from.

The young woman looked hesitantly at the wall of the hut. "We're you really the only survivor?" She asked, grabbing the cage bars. "We're you the only one or were their others?" She asked, looking fearfully in the direction of another twig snapping.

"Liau. Stay with the sacrifice." The elder said as the men ran past with some large bowls of water. "Someone is lighting fires around the village." He said, a very crude looking knife hanging from his waist. The young woman nodded before turning to Ryan.

"I don't know who it would be that would be doing this" I said to the girl.

"It has to be your friend. The only other people on the island were wiped out long ago." She said, grabbing the cage door. "If I release you you have to take me with you." She said, another twig snapping outside.
