Rise of the She Wolf

It was a full moon night and Brida was preparing for the sacred ritual to honor the Moon Goddess. Every 100 years the planets are aligned, so tonight a connection could be made with the Moon Goddess herself. Brida was a werewolf and a sorceress and tonight she had been chosen to function as a portal to the Moon Goddess. There was no greater honor except maybe being sacrificed. 3 virgin She-Wolves would be sacrificed to show the goddess their willingness for receiving her wisdom.

When Brida heard the drums, she walked outside her tent into the crowd. The whole pack looked at her with anticipation and the drums became louder and louder. In the middle of the crowd, there was a big fire with 3 poles in front of it. Brida took her place in front of the poles and started singing in harmony with the drums. 3 young She-Wolves were brought in and tied to the poles. All 3 of them were wearing white dresses to symbolize their virginity. Brida kept singing while taking out a knife and holding it up to the moon. The reflection of the moon seemed to get sucked into the knife and Brida walked to the sacrifices holding the knife above her head. Someone came up beside her with a cup and Brida took it into her other hand. The She-Wolves that were sacrificed looked at Brida without fear. They knew there was no greater honor, and they would be invited to feast with the wolf Gods and the Moon Goddess herself. Brida quickly sliced their throats and caught the blood of all 3 in the cup.

When she had collected all the blood, she dipped her fingers in the blood and made a symbol of the moon on her forehead with it. Then she drank the whole cup and fell to her knees. “Sacred, beloved, Moon-Goddess we are gathered here today to share in your wisdom. Please enlighten us with your presence,” Brida howled.
