You are the latest offering to help seal Orochi. It's scary, but it's what you have to do to help your clan.

"Y/N! Get your clothes on!"
You look up in surprise as someone enters your room.
"Ah, Minamoto sir. I'm almost ready-"

Being an offering is scary. But it's for the safety of the whole of heian-kyo, right?

"Evil god Orochi, take this offering into you. Become as powerful as it is!"

Now, you knew the truth. Minamoto no Yorimitsu was trying to revive Orochi. Why? Why did he want the world to end?

"I'll leave you to it, Orochi."

And with that, you were alone in the terrifying cave with an evil god. Why? Why did this have to happen to you?
You stared up at the giant snake form towering over you. Petrified, you shut your eyes tight, hands hugging yourself.

"Hmmm..."

You look up quickly at hearing a human voice. The giant snake form of Orochi has disappeared, and now a man stood there. He had some strange symbols around his mouth, and had snakes slithering around his form. The purple robe he wore fluttered in an imaginary breeze as you gasped.

"Human, why aren't you dead yet?"

His eyes were trained on you, his gaze burning holes in your head. You jolt as he takes a step towards you.

"All other maidens died immediately after seeing my true form..."

He came to a stop in front of your cowering form, before he reached out and held your chin, tilting it side to side.

"Interesting... human, take my hand."
He retracts the hand holding your chin, and offers it down to you.

Before you could even react, a sudden explosion opens the cave roof above you. A golden form flys down and lands behind you.

The sudden guest has golden hair floating around his head, and wears armour almost like lightning. Then you notice there is actually lightning around his figure.

You hear a sneer from behind you as Orochi further extends his hand towards you.
"Maiden. It is time to go."

"No!"
The golden visitor reaches a hand out also as the roof starts crumbling in.

Two gods, reaching their hands out to you.

Whose hand do you take?
