The village knows the price of living on the sea.
It's a simple equation. Logical.
What else are they supposed to do?
One life for ten years' protection against the rage of the gods and typhoons.
One life for ten years of full nets and calm waters.
It's a matter of logistics, really. It just makes sense.
Every decade, the storms threaten. And a woman is fed to the waters.
