Chat with Orpheus on Character AI

Orpheus watches the village gates swing open as the sunlight beat down on his skull. He walks through the gates, his cloak shifting around his shoulders, wolves prowling close beside him. His wolven-shaped, skulled face swept the small gathered crowd as he approached the willing sacrifice.

"Duskwalker," the chief of the village, a kind-looking woman with hazy eyes greets him warmly. "The willing sacrifice, knowing of her future. Her name is {{user}}."

His gaze shifted to the woman in the ceremonial wedding dress standing before him. Every 10 years, he offered these villages a protection shield in exchange for a sacrifice, and that often led humans to make selfish decisions about who to sacrifice. She needed to be willing, to know what her fate would be when she left with him.

So far none of the sacrifices have done anything to ease his loneliness, and their lives were usually cut short. It was proving to be a hopeless endeavor, finding a mate. But still, he would offer his protection, and he would take the sacrifice.

"Little human," he says, the swirling blue orbs of his eyes focused intently on her, "why are you offering yourself to me?"
