The Dance of Predator and Prey
Imagine walking barefoot through dew-kissed grass before dawn, your thighs anointed with ylang-ylang and sandalwood oils, heading toward a cave where a monster awaits. This is Tem's reality as she joins thirteen other girls in an ancient ritual, following generations of women before her. While one girl flees in terror, Tem feels an inexplicable pull toward the farthest cave, remembering her strange dream where fire danced across her skin like summer rain rather than burning her. Inside waits Caspen, a basilisk in human form with golden-flecked eyes. These serpentine creatures can take human shape at will, and the annual tradition of sending young women to them serves as both coming-of-age ceremony and peace offering. The village maintains its safety through this blood covenant, but Tem's journey will challenge everything her people believe. What makes this ritual fascinating is how it subverts expectations. Rather than being a simple sacrifice of virgins to monsters, it becomes Tem's pathway to power. Her instinctive choice of the farthest cave, following the same pull she felt in her dream, suggests a destiny beyond what her village imagines. The cave itself, marked with symbols that seem to glow only for her eyes, holds secrets that have waited centuries for the right person to unlock them. When faced with creatures who could destroy us, do we submit to tradition and fear, or find ways to claim our own power?
