The scenery before her a second time changed since white gloved paws last brought her here. Last time was an offering of an Ashen Empress, this one would be a personal sacrifice. Anko, her akita, was something of a gift from her ex-husband but the dog had proven herself absolutely loyal and a capable warrior. She would be an appropriate gift for a god who could so easily put change to the weather and landscape.
Wolf and dog navigated the silence and carefully stepped around the blood and gore that now littered the forest floors. She approaches the statue with apprehension, her heart clenching as she lowered her head in reverence and nods towards her companion. The white and silver furred akita steps forward confidently as her master’s gift, knowing her life is being given. A warrior for the gods or a blood sacrifice. Venom offered her loyal subject.

NPC:
The familiar’s reverent silence remains as your beloved companion steps forward obediently to be offered. From within the statue’s eyes the inky black fireflies begin to emerge, followed by dozens and dozens more. The light around you and the companion is consumed as they begin to swarm, enclosing the canine offering in living darkness. While you abruptly lose sight of your precious friend, you cannot ignore the distinct feeling of comfort and happiness suddenly heavy in the air. It brings forth the crisp and clear mental image of an Akita puppy, her tail wagging so hard that it brings her rear to swing along with it.
The ball of fireflies and darkness begins to shrink and the light starts to return to the altar, the bugs returning single file to the deep skeletal eye sockets upon the statue. Your companion is gone, but in her place something else remains, something you can feel rather than touch or see. It is the promise of new companionship, perhaps a little beyond what normal wolves are typically allowed to experience.
Before you go, something draws you to glance up and meet the stoney gaze upon each of the three-headed statue’s faces. A keen observer might notice a distinct change in the expression of each as they look upon the intricate carving, where each of the cerberus’ maws have appeared to curve up into a toothy grin. A clump of thick fog dances behind the statue’s rear, converging onto its stone tail and wagging three times before dispersing back into mist.
