Well. That sounds quite frightening.

[actually, she's not fully sure. it would be nice for everyone to just be happy, right? like a tea party with dolls, you can talk to them but no one raises their voice or gets upset.]

I do agree that's the sort of awful twist this sort of prize would usually come with.

... That's what I think.

Any peace that's brought about through magic alone would have to be a twisted one.

You may be right about that. It would be too easy - you couldn't stop some from seeking pain and death without altering their minds in some way.

Exactly.

... I don't know if these other "rewards" have a sinister side too, but I wouldn't trust them.

I simply don't trust the one offering. Is this the power of the god they intend to summon? What if we don't wind up summoning it?

[sootprints]

You're right. That's important to consider, too.

If sacrifices power rituals, who is receiving that power, and what will they use it for?

I don't have much interest in helping them achieve their aims. They're the reason we're all in this situation to begin with. Only now that their plans have been slightly complicated to they deign to barter with us instead of treat us like livestock.
