Ritual 19 - Vengeance

WHO: Sheep
WHERE: The Pasture
WHEN: Evening, Day 54 (to give some buffer to post-rescue talks during the day)

[Well THAT was a trip. But everyone is returned home relatively safely, the mushrooms are under control, and Death's eye is closed. Maybe things can return to semi-normalcy.

Lol. Lmao.

A dark shadow suddenly sweeps across the Pasture, and you'll find yourself forcibly yanked from where you stand, lay in bed, or otherwise where you're minding your business--though, some will be missed, inevitably. Those who get grabbed though get to glimpse at a massive shadow-like demon, wolf like in appearance but with giant ram horns, glaring down at you. His voice speaks as a whisper in your minds.

You will Speak his Vengeance.

If you do not speak it, I will enact it on his Behalf.


A random sheep waddles by, and then shadows overtake it--the poor sheep begins to contort, gasping for air as it's stretched and twisted into an unnatural eldritch mass, but still Very Much Alive. It rolls off to enjoy its eternal suffering.

And just like that you're yanked into the shadows, the demon's Intent clear in your heads. It's Ritual Time.]

Would you want a mechanical leg?

It makes sense, doesn't it...? We lose our limbs a lot, it seems like. We get hurt often. Something sturdy would be a better option, yes?

I didn't ask if it makes sense, though.

I was eight when I started being trained in dancing. Memorized all the steps. No matter the genre.

It's been all my life.

It's true that nothing will ever replace the one you were born with. But -- that doesn't mean you'll never dance again, either.

It'll be different, but it'll be okay.

But how long will that take...?

( ... looks down. )

I wonder if it's a sign. To... to leave behind what I knew. To fully devote myself to being the king I'm meant to be. No more... barefoot gardening or healing by herbs or foraging by morning light. To be... tougher. Pick up a weapon again.

Look . . . I know I don't know anything about being a king or a leader. I'm probably the worst shepherd here.

But I know without a single doubt that the things you love don't make you less tough, or less of a suitable ruler.

No. You're a whole person, not a robot programmed to rule without any personal desires or passions. And I trust you to prioritize when it's needed.
