A sacrifice to the Death God.
Dua Evangelist had sought refuge in Mount Kratoa, a place where it was said that, in the distant past, the Gods had vanquished an Outer God and sealed it beneath that very mountain.
That legend alone was part of the reason witches had turned this place into a dumping ground. There was no greater insult to an enemy than to bury them beneath waste.
Of course, no one truly knew if the story was real. Witches acknowledged the existence of Outer Gods, but whether there were any benevolent Gods that were on their side was uncertain.
Nevertheless, Dua believed in it.
And that belief was what drove her.
After successfully sneaking into Riviere, she isolated herself in Mount Kratoa for months, preparing and acting in silence.
It hadn't been easy. For one hundred years, Dua had carefully planned her way back into Riviere. It wasn't a place anyone could simply enter, especially not someone already exiled like her.
