The Gods of Krakatoa

Chap 9. The New Sacrifices

The three fathers stood on the shore as their children were taken off to the great volcano, Krakatoa. They walked to the volcano. Along with their gifts. They looked at the massive volcano, and walked in. Bella walked in first, carrying fruit, vegetables and bread and wine. Jamie had one of the best boars him and Mako had hunted, roasted and stuffed.

Kiara had a bag of jewerly. Made from bones and fangs of animals. They walked in. They ended up in a dark, cavernous room. Suddenly, torches lit up around the room. Those were brought by the previous sacrifices. Kiara jumped. She began to back away. She was scared.

Bella looked at her. "You'll be fine, Kiara' she whispered, then loudening her voice. "We have brought you gods sacrifices!" She kneeled down, bowing her head. Jamie looked a bit scared, but kneeled down aswell. They heard whispers. "Are those...?!" They heard slightly maniactic voice.

"They've gotta be, that one looks just like..." Another, western sounding voice said, a man appearing in the room. "Tell me, are ya Hanzo's kid, darlin'?" The man had long-ish auburn hair and a beard to go along with it. He looked at Kiara. Kiara fell down and backed away. "Y-Yes, My Lord!" She paniced.

"Woah woah, don't be scared. I'm Toa." He smiled charmingly. "You're really Hanzo's kid... Wow.' he whispered, his eyes shining excitedly. Two other men appeared in the room. One dark skinned, the other light. "Whoa... Are you little Jamie? I am Kra!" Kra said, excited.

Jamie nodded, suddenly seeming a bit nervous, even with the small smile on his lips. Toa walked to Kiara and kneeled down, offering a hand to help her stand up. The final man, most likely Ka, stood in place, arms crossed over his broad chest. Kra walked to Jamie. "Whoa... You look... Beautiful." Kra said. Kiara thought a bit, but stood up with help of Toa. Toa pulled her up, gently. "You're a beautiful young woman... Like your mother."

Toa smiled. Jamie blushed lightly. "Thank you, Lord Kra..." "T-Thank you, Lord Toa." Kiara said. Bella looked at Ka. "Hello, my lord. I want to thank you about-" Bella was cut off.

"Don't thank me." Ka looked at her intently. "You have nothing to thank me for." "Y-yes I do. You gave me ability to-" "To see, yes? That's an ability given to each human, animal, god alike." Ka shrugged slightly. "I just gave you back what was yours by birth, taken by your own people." "I am forever thankful." Bella said.

Kra looked Jamie all over. "Whoa..." He said. Jamie blushed a bit. "Father said that you helped him find me... I wish to thank you my lord." Jamie smiled. "Yes. I did. He deserved a family. He seemed so lonely." Kra said. "So I gave him, what he needed most. A family. But now! Enough feelings! Give us food." He said with a smile.

Jamie stood up with the boar and looked at Bella. "Let us serve the gods." "Yes." Bella said, bringing her gifts. Kiara followed. The three sacrifices set their three gifts down on the altar, The gods circling around the table. "Please, have a taste of our boar. Father spiced and cooked the best one we've caught in a long time." Jamie smiled. Ka grabbed a piece, tasting. Toa did the same, tasting the meat. He gasped. "This is delicious!"

Kra took a taste too. "Whoa. He has gotten Better! This is the best I have ever tasted!" He gasped. Jamie smiled happily. Ka nodded. "It is much better than last time, I'll admit." "It is!" Kra laughed. Bella and Kiara stood there, looking the gods fiest. Jamie stepped back aswell. The gods looked to enjoy the boar

Kra at least seemed to be in high clouds Because of that. Ka looked at the fruit and vegetables. "What do we have here?" "It is the best crops of our family. Please." Bella said, handing out her hand towards the fruits.

Ka tasted an orange, closing his eyes and covering his mouth a bit. Toa also tasted some of the fruit, smiling. "These are good!" "Thank you, my lords." Bella thanked. Toa fiddled with a belt, decorated with animal teeth and a golden plate. "This is beautiful." "I am glad you like, Lord Toa." Kiara said with little courage. "Did you make this?" Toa smiled to her.

"Yes. I did. I love making jewerly out of bones and fangs." Kiara answered. Toa chuckled. "If I get you a wild rabbit, will ya make a necklace for me outta it?" "Yes. Of course, my lord." Kiara answered. "Jus' call me Jesse, darlin'." Toa tipped his hat, smiling gently.

"Y-yes, Lord Jesse." Kiara said. "Jamie. How much has your Father told you?" Kra asked. "He told me that you gave him a hint to where to find me... He hasn't told very much of you, Lord Kra." Jamie bowed his head. Toa laughed. "It's so weird to hear ya call someone Jamie, Kra." "I know! But I told him to name the boy Jamie. So I call him Jamie." Kra said. Jamie's eyes widened a bit. "Y-you named me, Lord Kra?" "Well yea, he did. Name ya after himself." Toa chuckled. Ka snorted.

"Yes. I named you. You could say I created you." Kra chuckled. "I didn't want Mako to be alone. You are my eyes, Jamie." He said. "I-I am?" Jamie asked. Ka rubbed his chin a bit. "You're basically the child of a god." He chuckled. Jamie looked at the ground, blushing lightly. "Yes. I see Mako through your eyes... He has grown old." Kra admitted. "He's old, but full of life." Jamie smiled. "That is good. I just wish I can see him again." Kra said, and stopped eating.
