Hidden Ritual
| ||||||||||||||||||
The Hidden Ceremony is a ritual performed to placate the Hellish Abyss, during times when there are no twins available for sacrifice. The sacrificial participants in this ritual are called Kusabi and are usually outsiders/visitors to the village.
Preparation
Visitors are captured and held within a prison cell within the Kurosawa House. The prospective Kusabi then goes through the Cutting Ritual. Those that survive, and don't die along the way to the Hellish Abyss, participate in the Hidden Ceremony.
The Ritual
The still bound, badly bleeding, and severely injured Kusabi is carried down through the caverns to the Hellish Abyss. There, the Kusabi, while still alive and breathing, is lowered down into the Abyss.
Result
The Abyss is appeased until a proper Crimson Sacrifice can be offered.
