"She demands blood, and I figure your blood is the best I can offer, the last time I gave her my family and this is what I got." Elise was a horrific monster, and not just for the sacrificing her family part though that does seem pretty awful. Her body was all wrong, arms were double the size of her legs and were bent and twisted with too much muscle. Her fingers weren't all the same size and each one ended in a nasty claw. She wasn't wearing any clothes anymore, though its not like it was very tittilating to see her ugly misshapen naked body, it was revolting.
"A sacrifice usually is something from yourself not someone else." That's not entirely accurate of anything really, but I was shackled by a horrible monster who had been a wonderful young woman not to long before (why did she look one way before and now horrific? Side effect of her wish, she didn't specify properly her power and so outside of a super concentrated effort the monster before me was what she really looked like, I like to think it was an outer portrayal of her inner turmoil, but that was just me personally).
"Oh Trezlan if you weren't such an idiot you'd be endearing." I've heard this so many times. So the monster had me down and out, my hands shackled behind my back and there I was waiting for death when the wind goddess showed up. Now I've seen the Fire God (this seems like a brag because it is) and she is gorgeous, but the wind goddess is beyond beauty, like in my dreams when I think of true beauty I think of the wind goddess (sorry future ladies I'll disappoint). I won't even bother trying to describe her (also I think her appearance changed based on the person who perceives her, as the descriptions I read looked nothing like the wind goddess I saw).
"Children." Her voice was like a musical instrument, even with a simple one word sentence of children.
"Wind Goddess I bring you a gift for the slaughter grant me my wish!" The goddess looked at me and back to the twisted shape of Elise.
"I have already given you a gift, I see that you are unhappy with your strength."
"I'm hideous! You promised me power!"
"And you have power, you have strength and speed others wish they had, you did not care for your looks nor specify you wanted to keep them." She stalked to the wind goddess and looked to strike the goddess which I knew was a bad idea and as soon as she raised an arm she was annihilated. Elise vanquished the goddess turned to me with a smile. "Sacrifice accepted, child what gift can I bestow on you."
This sudden reversal of fortune brought a smile to my face. So what wish did I ask for? You know how this works! Actually I won't tell you because it was personal, let me just say that I didn't ask for money because I was really worried I'd get turned into money.
