It was long ago the statue had become what it is today. His arms held high to the sky was if in pleading with the gods for mercy. His body cut and sculpted as if the heavens had created perfection. His large member standing painfully erect. It was said he would come to life if the reincarnate of his beloved was to break her virginity on his erect member.
The village elders talked of why the statue was there. Some said he committed an act of murder. Others said rape. Some just said it was a cruel joke played on him. But in their eyes he was a god who helped bless the village. His blessing brought food and children and kept away the illness that plagued the other surrounding villages. Every year on the winter solstice, a ritual was performed. One that most of the young women feared it would be their turn. Most who were eligible tried to be married before the day for their knew that it would be their death if chosen.
Theina, had just turned of age. She sat in the great hall listening to the stories of the ancestors the morning of the choosing. She did not want to be chosen for she was betrothed to the son of the village Leader. He was handsome and strong and was a brave fighter. They were to be joined in a month after the solstice. She loved him, or so she thought she did for she had never been with a man, and her betrothed and her only spoke a few times in the company of the elders.
The priest had gathered 5 young girls, all eligible to the prophesy site. The fire glowed as the shadows danced in the hall. She could feel the anxiety float off of the other girls. All knew that one of them would suffer a fate worse than death, then death itself.
Suddenly her worst fears came true.
“Theina, the smoke decrees you are to take this years, most honored spot. Your soul will remain blessed, and your family honored for the rest of your days.”
Her heart dropped, as the other girls came over to try to comfort her.
