Sacrifice (1x1 Yaoi) (Taken by city of fools)

[Halewyn]

In an unknown country there is a small village bordering a massive forest, and in that village there is a legend of a terrible monster lurking in the woods. One that can only be placated with the sacrifice of a woman every full moon. However one man decides to reject this tradition and is chosen to be the sacrifice instead, what will await him on the night of the full moon when he is forced into the forest to wait for the monster.



Name: Reswyn
Age: 26
Personality: Reswyn is a very quiet man, having had no one to really talk to for most of his life has made it so he doesn't like speaking unless he really has to. When he does speak his words are usually very biting and blunt, he isn't really a people person however, he does have a strong sense of justice and his moral compass is "usually" on the right path.
Background: Reswyn has been the local hunter of the village for many years and one of their finest archers until a hunting accident one day resulted in the lost of his right eyes. As well damaging his hand enough that he could never draw a bow again. Also while he knew about the ritual sacrifices he never paid them much mind until he found the women's corpses in the woods.
Position: Uke

Reswyn scowled darkly as he was being dragged along blindfolded, and without anything to defend himself save for a knife that he was able to hide before they came for him. So this is what trying to do the right thing got him, next line in to be sacrificed. He hissed in pain as the blindfold was ripped off, the rough cloth scratching against the scarred pit where his right eye used to be.

"We're sorry Reswyn but you know what we must do to survive" said one of the village men. He said nothing in return but spat at the man's feet.

"You were a good man and one of our best so we won't tie you up like the women but, we will take drastic measures if you try to return to the village. May the God's have mercy on you."

The villagers turned and left with Reswyn glaring at their backs, and once they were gone he took in his surroundings. They had taken him to a very deep part of the forest one that even he didn't venture into while hunting. He knelt down and felt for the knife making sure he hadn't lost it while being brought here.

With the knife secure Reswyn let out an quiet sigh before starting off into the woods, he needed to find a place where he could hole up in and fast.

Name: Kieren
Age: Looks Twenty Three
Personality: Kieren could be a bit quiet seeing as he's isolated himself for a very long time. At first, he might not speak unless he feels he really needs to, though he would rather use actions over words. He is usually optimistic and can come off as caring and kind. But he can be quite psychotic most of the time. He does whatever he wants, whenever. And he isn't afraid to manipulate or hurt people to get what he wants.
Background: Kieren has been living in the forest for a couple of centuries, which is the only 'home' that he remembers. He of course has a past, but seeing as it has been quite a while, he decided to let go of it. He didn't necessarily have a good childhood, but it wasn't that bad either. He's done a lot of things that he regrets, and doesn't ever speak of. Watching all your loved ones grow old and pass away changes people; it changed Kieren. He used to love being around people and socialize, but after he had finally learned his lesson about not getting close to humans, he moved to live in the forest. At the time, it seemed like a good idea. He had one of those days that he couldn't contain his hunger, and tore down a deer and started eating its flesh. It was then that a couple of teenagers found him covered in blood and still eating the meat off the poor animal and called out 'monster'. As any other person, Kieren was hurt by those words. Sure, he shouldn't have done what he did, but he had to satisfy his hunger, and it was better to feed off an animal than hurt a human being. After the rumor had SPREAD out, many people started coming to the forest and disturbing his peace just to see this so called monster. Kieren simply gave them what they wanted; a monster. From that day on, he would scare off anyone that came in by his demon form, that he didn't really like using. It's been over half a century now, that those humans have been sending him a woman every full moon as a sacrifice. Most of the time, Kieren would wait until he is really hungry before savouring them to the bone.
Pos: Seme
Additional: His demon form; the "monster"

Tonight was a full moon, which meant that Kieren would be getting his usual meal. He wasn’t really looking forward to it, seeing as the last couple of women that were presented to him had tried to fight him, which was useless, but he had to slit their throats because they were just too annoying. Killing them meant that he had to eat them off before they rotten. He wasn’t a big fan of eating dead people, they didn’t really satisfy his hunger, and he has to keep them alive for a while seeing as he only gets one meal a month. He obviously feeds off animals as well, but animals can sense Kieren’s aura from a mile away and never dare to come near him which is quite a troublesome situation for Kieren.

Jumping from one tree to another, Kieren had a grin across his face as he felt the wind against his face. He was heading towards where the humans always leave their ‘sacrifices’ every full moon, which is when Kieren’s hunger is at its highest. There was still time before the actual full moon; it was only starting to get dark, but Kieren could smell fresh blood. He was a bit too far to know how old the sacrifice was and how healthy they were; the healthier they are, the better. Finally stopping to catch his breath, Kieren caught the sight of the leaving villagers before smirking softly. He turned his gaze down to his sacrifice before furrowing his brows. Kieren gritted his teeth, his blood almost boiling with anger. Why would they even think about sacrificing a guy to him? On the full moon, nonetheless. It’s not that Kieren was always this picky, but full moons are usually when he craves humans’ flesh the most, and for some reason females leave him more full than males.

Shaking his head slightly, Kieren jumped off the tree, landing on his feet just a few steps away from the man. He studied the guy for a moment, before shooting him a glare “A hunter” Kieren muttered, already noticing a few things about the guy that told him that he was a hunter. “Did they throw you in here to kill ‘the monster’?” Kieren chuckled bitterly as took a few steps, circling the male, as if studying the new stranger.

Reswyn froze at the voice and the sudden appearance of a...man? that couldn't be right, he had never heard anything about people living this deep into the forest. His sole eye tracked the man and noticed a key feature that definitely separated this person from humans, he had horns. A small bitter smile made it's way to Reswyn's face when he was asked if he was here to kill the monster.

"No, I tried to stop the sacrifices and because of it they decided I would make an excellent sacrifice instead" He said quietly, still intently studying the man. For all his oddity the other man hadn't made any move to harm him but then again it could just be simple curiosity staying the man's hand.

Reswyn subtly got his knife ready, just in case after all there was something about the other man that was setting his teeth on edge.

To say that Kieren was angry would be an understatement. Long ago, he could have gone without feeding off the human flesh for years. But since those humans have presented him a human every month, his body has gotten used to feeding every so often, and now they just decide to let him starve. Well, they did send in this guy, but he wouldn’t do as good. Kieren could of course feed off the girl that they had sent in last time, she was still alive, barely though.

Hearing what the male had to say, Kieren furrowed his brows slightly “Why would you want to stop the sacrifices?” Kieren snorted softly. This guy was probably one of those people who wants to achieve justice, too bad for him, his family and friends obviously only care about saving their own asses. “Alright, listen up” Kieren said with a straight face and an almost-threatening tone. “You’re being disrespectful” Kieren said as he pointed towards the knife. Did he really think that would be enough to kill him? How stupid of a hunter.

“I’ve got good news and bad news” Kieren said before looking up at the sky for a moment. He had a little less than an hour; he can already feel the hunger strive within him. “Good news; I’m not interested in you as a sacrifice” Kieren stated as he looked back at male again. “Bad news, you have less than an hour to get me another sacrifice” He continued. He knew that they wouldn’t give him another sacrifice, he was just bluffing. He wanted to go back to where he kept the girl, but he sure as hell didn’t this guy following him, and seeing as he’s a hunter, Kieren knew that the guy could easily trace him.

Reswyn said nothing as the man gave him his ultimatum, instead and he let out a soft sigh and put his knife back into his boot. He then sat down cross legged, propping his chin up with his fist he just stared at the other man.

"Look, I don't like this better than you do but the fact of the matter is that since my village chose me as a sacrifice I can't go back there, if I attempt it they will most likely either break both my legs; or cut them off and then leave me in the forest to die. And I prefer a quick death to a long agonizing one." He said quietly shifting his weight a bit.

It wasn't like he wanted to die per say, but since losing his eye and nearly losing all of use of his arm he had felt like he become less of something, Especially since he had been getting unwanted charity from the other villagers, and was constantly being told what a "shame" it was that he could never return to his former glory.

Kieren knew that bickering with this guy wouldn’t help anyone, yet he staid, just because he was still a semi-stubborn kid who hated to do what everyone expected of him. Hearing what the older male had to say, Kieren let out a bitter chuckle “Who said anything about a quick death?” Kieren said before letting a devilish smirk cross his lips “There’s nothing those humans can do that will be worse than what I can do to you” The fact that the guy in front of him didn’t seem to be scared of Kieren only made the demon more excited. It’s been a while since he’s had some actual potential; all the others just screamed when they saw him. Either that or they tried to kill him without saying a word.

“That being said, you can scurry off now” Kieren said with a small shrug. Since the guy wasn’t going to leave the forest, Kieren could always find him for a later snack. But for now, he had an almost-dead girl waiting for him to get her off her misery; or eat her, per to say. “Would you be interested in the flesh of a twenty year old girl?” Kieren smirked then, just wanting to see the male’s reaction. “She was the sacrifice before you, just barely still alive” He said with a grin before turning around and leading the way to where the girl was tied up. Oh, he was going to enjoy this. Deceiving humans was always so fun, and Kieren couldn’t let this chance pass.

Finally getting to the tree where the girl was tied up, Kieren sighed softly as he placed his hand on her neck; seeming like he was choking her, when he was actually healing her, just enough to let her live for a little more. “You have a choice now, hunter” Kieren said softly as he watched the girl breathe again. “One of you has to die tonight” He continued “I’m going to let you choose which one” He looked back at the male with a smirk.
