Cult of the Dark Moon: Victim or Hero?

You are dead. More precisely – almost dead. Because the difference between "almost" and "completely" is you yourself, and how fast you can think.

You weren't summoned as a hero, not as the chosen one, not as someone destined to save the world. You were summoned as expendable material – the perfect sacrifice for the Grand Ritual of the Dark Eclipse, which happens once every hundred years. And so, you stand within a stone circle, bound in chains of moon-silver, surrounded by the most beautiful and dangerous creatures you have ever seen. They don't look at you with hatred. It's worse – they look at you with professional interest.
