" Behold people of the Sakurazaka, the time has come! " said the Head Shaman who is also the Village Head of the Sakurazaka Village, Yamagami Arikato, gathering the crowds as he puts a young boy, a weak-pale boy, tied in chains.
" For years, the Great Master, Yakujin had taken away the rain from us, making our crops fail to grow as she stole the rain shower and the dark clouds from us due to our bad offering last month.
" But this time, we had found a better offering, behold. " Head Shaman Yamagami says, approaching the young boy as he cuts his skin, making the boy's blood come out.
As soon as it came out, suddenly a great dark aura came from the skies, Bug Monsters came from the skies as they all smelled the boy's blood charging it as they were maddened by its scent.
[ Earth Capture ]
The Head Shaman uses his Earth Magic to capture the Horde of Bug Monsters and crushes it in front of the Villagers who witnessed it.
" As you all could see, the Monsters are so attracted to this boy's blood. "
" The reason is that the boy possessed the greatest taste in human blood that any monster even the chimera likes. "
" The 'Sacrifice Lamb Blood', a type of blood known to have great numbers of possessors in the lands of the West, Westerios. "
" In Easterion, only a few had this kind of blood which we must make use of for the taste of his blood will save us all as we offered him to Master Yakujin! " Tetsuya explains, making the crowd cheers and pray as they the solution to their endless crops problem.
" Praise the Mountains for showing us the one who will save us all! " said the Head Shaman as they all cheered for the weak boy who would save them many times forward while the 'savior' himself simply lay weak as he had not eaten for some time thanks to the Head Shaman ordered him to do an extreme fast for no reason.

" Hey, put it here! " said one of the men, as he ordered them all to put down the palanquin where they would leave the boy as an offering for Yakujin, the men realized that she would come as they could hear thunder cracking, meaning that the 'Chimera Master' is here, coming to see what they offered.
The men instantly leave, leaving the boy inside the palanquin as the boy also senses the incoming Chimera.
" Ah... " the boy says as he comes out, realizing that it might be disrespectful if he meets the Master while he's inside the Palanquin, better to show himself in order to at least respect the mighty Chimera as he bows and kneels to the ground, awaiting her to come.
" Ah! Who is this? " said a female voice coming towards the boy from the forest.
" Are you the one who will be my offering today? " said the voice as the boy sensed the being was already in front of him.
" Yes, Guardian of Thunder Mist Mountains, it is I... "
" I... Shiro... "
" Will be the one who is sacrificed... "
" Please, be appeased... " the boy says to the Chimera while still kneeling on the ground, couldn't dare himself to see what's in front of him.
"( This is it... )" the boy tells in his mind while the Chimera slurps the tongue.
