Chapter Text
(Y/N), has been living in a small village all of her life. The small town folks had always been happy for so many years. Until the many years came of only drought. No rain had came for about 6 years. Crops had mostly been dieing, the villagers of this small town were sick and tired of not having any rain water. But this small village had found out about a rumour. The Water God. The Water God would only help them bring the rain if a small sacrifice was made. It was no ordinary sacrifice. The villagers would have to interoperate who to sacrifice. It could never be a male, it only had to be a female. This female would have to be the most beautiful woman in this village. Sure there were many beautiful women in this town, it didn't have to be just outer beauty, also had to be inner as well. Not what your literal insides were but, kindness and the soul truly matter. Otherwise the water god would never give them rain again.
(Y/N)'s pov
Our home sounded more like a funeral home then all happy. My Mother had got me a dress that was (F/C) and (S/F/C), it was made of many different kinds of silk. She also gave me a (F/C) cloak that had been past down between generations to generations. My hair had many kinds of metal head-dressing. I remember when I was about 6 I ran around the village then came across and elder. When I ran right into him and fell, he turned around and smiled and help me back on my feat. He then handed me two red strings, I was wondering why at the time.
"The gods above say that you will love 2 men in your life-" My mother then yanked me away from this elder. Mumbling under her breath. I was snapped back to reality.
"I'm sorry honey. I'm so sorry." That was the sad voice of my Mother's, when I walked into the next room. This home was a back then Japanese style of home, with doors that were thin as paper but will wood, that would slide. That day.... which was gloomy as a funeral.... my wedding day.
I walked with my mother out of the home and down the many paths of the town. The town people stared at me, but it didn't matter. I heard many of the villagers whisper.
"So she's the bride of The Water God?" One said.
"That's the girl who received the divine revelation." The other said. The I heard more whispering.
"Poor thing, she's so young..." I heard a woman say.
"There's nothing we can do. It has been dry for a few years now. The well has been dry for a while, too." I heard an old man say.
"Besides. The farming problems, there's only a bit of water for us to drink." A man concluded.
"We have to calm down the angry Water God, by offering him a bride." Another said.
"Someone needed to be sacrificed on our behalf." Another argued.
"But... Even though It's said to be a god..." I started to listen more.
"Could it be a monster in real life?" I don't even know if it's a monster or not. It could have 3 heads and still this would be making a difference, hopefully.
We had finally made it to the ocean/lake, my cloak hood was up, shielding the top of my face.
"Please don't hate us. We didn't want this to happen ether..." My mother said to me.
"But (Y/N) we are glad you are going."
"We're very thankful for you." Another one of my family members smiled.
"We can now all live because of you." My Grandpa replied.
It's a lie... all of it was lies. Trying to make me feel better when I am going to be taken from this world and never to return. I did hear many other whispers from earlier.
Like: 'I'm so glad she's not our daughter' to 'It's not our fault. You were the unlucky one. Anyways a sacrifice is needed.' 'It's a superstition... But I don't care as long as it rains.' 'As long as it's not me, I don't care.'
I hated this, how so many people were ungrateful besides my family.
I then stepped onto a brown row boat. I sat down as they pushed the boat away, far enough it floated where they couldn't see me. I don't care what happens to my town.
I thought back to this little girl who I saw before I was suppose to be escorted to the lake where The Water God would be.
"(Y/N), are you getting Married? You look so pretty." I remember the smile on her face.
"I would want to be a pretty bride, too!" She was so sweet.
Suddenly my thoughts were interrupted by the wind started to pick up, it got harsher and harsher until it turned into a tornado of water right in-front of the boat.
'Please god of the water let it rain!' All of a sudden it came crashing into me and I gasped. I was suddenly knocked into the water of the sea, everything went black.
