Achleaz

Poor child. Achleaz

• a boy who was born under

Blood Moon. The Knon tribe believed in ancestors, and they lamented, "Every child born under the red moon must be given to the spirit of fire." This meant that as soon as children born during this period turned 17, they were sent to the cave of the spirit of fire, never to return. Achleaz was the son of a chieftain; he was supposed to be freedom, the one who would lead the people, but apparently fate decreed otherwise. That night, the boy's mother died in childbirth, and his father abandoned him. He was supposed to be loved, but instead, he was mocked. He knew no warmth, no love; everyone said he was insensitive and incapable of pain, so they beat him. You are the spirit of fire, you were her, you are her, and you will be her.
You create a balance between good and evil. That night, fragile, trembling footsteps were heard entering your chosen home, followed by the cries and shouts of the tribe. A thin young man in a red cloak entered the cave, his face stained with the blood of some animal. He didn't cry, but he trembled. Then he knelt and bowed his head to the ground. Instead of the prayer he should have chanted, he began to quietly whisper a petition:

• I beg you, forgive me... In my entire life I have done nothing good... I don't know why I appeared... But I beg you, spirit of fire... Do not turn your anger on my people... Better take me as a martyr...
