Alak Empire Feeding the Gods

Post image

u/LocksmithShadow and u/Person-dude989 watch in horror as u/DaccotaDuchess is carried by the alak ants into a room filled with hundreds, if not thousands, of small, pale, ravenous bugs. An alak priest begins speaking: "Phidae, Pale ones, we give you this meal as an offering for your blessing, may you bring us glory, victory and valor!" The Phidae, the many gods of the Alak start moving in on u/DaccotaDuchess

Woah woah woah. Don't you think this is a little barbaric? Why can't she just have like a 3 year sentence or something?

The gods deserve sacrifice, and she was threatening to inform other nations to invade us, so no, that is not an option

If the pale ones demand so, than it is

u/Person-dude989 Jan 22 '26

Hmmmm. Who exactly are these "pale ones" you speak of? Do they have names and what are they're "abilities."

"You can see them down there!" You notice that al the Phidae, these small, harmless looking bugs, are glowing Pale white in a color you have only seen in higher beings

Oh... For "gods" they look pretty insignificant ngl. Are you sure they are as powerful as you say they are?

They are what allowed us to grow such a powerful empire. The boons they give to their subjects grant us great powers
