Chapter 17: Stoked Up pt.3

Sacrifice GirlWords: 2179

So, today… The sun was close to setting and so I knew that it was my time. I walked down the hall of the 1st floor, walked up to the 5th through long staircases. Besides a ritual ground, the 5th floor was used as a small academy hospital, it makes sense that an academy focused on blood magic has a way to fast respond to injuries. My heart was pounding like crazy and my hands shook… The words of my mo…sister ran through my head: “I mean… what if you aren't…” I wanted to say to her “And what if I am? then you'd be without me helping in our farm, I know why you really don't think i can” But i didn't have the guts to tell her, because when i tell her how i feel she cries and that makes me wanna cry.

I walked to the room, the head priest smiled with an accompanying priest that was the best at precise cuts in the academy. “Okay, Val, please sit down.” He asked and so I did. They cleaned the area with a bit of alcohol on a small cotton pouch and when I was ready they did a slash, I looked away in fear, I was worried about looking at reality.

“Whoa…” The assisting priest gasped.

“What?... Is it a a strong green?” I said and slowly opened my-WHAT THE FUCK.

My arm was bleeding, but not normal blood, a black substance that looked more like looking through a mirror to the galaxy. stars, twinkling in the emptiness if the sky was my blood.

“I cannot believe it” The head priest says and put his hand on my shoulders “Val daughter of Alice the Spark, you're going to be a star!”

“H-Huh?!” My entire body was shaking excitedly “ME?!?!?” I practically screamed from the honour, becoming one with the stars, forever remembered by everyone throughout history, inspiring others.

“Yes, you have the void blood which only appears once per century, tomorrow we will start commencing a big parade in celebration.” The head priest seemed just as excited as me, I realised it was the first time he'd seen void blood as well.

“Holy shit, i gotta tell this to everyone”

“Please, go ahead, we'll have to take you soon after.”
