Jayden felt his heart beating strongly in my chest as he walked among men on path through the forest. The only light came from lamps that men wore pale, screens, on top of long sticks and the moon, now and then, peeped through the branches dark.
walked with bowed head trying to figure out where he was putting his feet not to stumble, he did not look bad to their initiation, But every so often, the temptation was too strong and his eyes searched among the backs in front of him wrapped in the cloth clear that the officiant.
... my brother, the King ...
Yet in those moments was something much more frightening: the officiant of the ceremony secret.
Suddenly the procession stopped, but Jade could not see in front of who or what he heard phrases in the ancient language, speech and resumed after a few moments to move.
At that point, the forest was so thick and dark that he realized that Jade had entered a cave for the fact that the air had changed.
Soon the trail began to descend toward down in the bowels of the earth.
Jayden knew that the cult of the warrior was not indigenous, such as the Dark Goddess, but had arrived early to the islands from other lands beyond the sea, carried by soldiers wrecked on those shores centuries earlier hostile. It seemed almost incredible that a closed population like they had been able to accept that foreign god, and yet he had done, had appreciated the amount of courage was needed to submit to the consecration.
held his breath while doing it down into the hole in the ground, almost did not hear the roar of the white bull led to the sacrifice and when the warm blood of the beast fell on him it was as if it were happening to someone else.

Day later, before dawn, he and his brother were standing on one of the towers of the castle, awaiting the rising of Aldebaran. The red star would mark the beginning of the celebration of spring. Just then his brother told him that when he emerged from the hole, naked and covered in blood, for the first time wrapped in white robes, had an expression on his face that almost made him almost ... fear. Yet seemed satisfied with this thing.
More than thirty years later, on the same tower, still remembered as the cool wind that night in late winter eased the sting of tattoo done recently near the eye.
