SacrificedtotheIceGod Read online

  Kai’s tribe lives in a tropical paradise—one of sun, sea, and sand. A protective reef surrounds the island, the waters teeming with life and fulfilling their needs. Passing the reef is forbidden—an unforgiving world of ice and cold lingers just outside it. An Ice God keeps them trapped on the island, demanding one sacrifice each year as payment for their warmth.

  Female after female is given to the god, never to return from his land of snow and ice. But the women of the island are growing sparse. If they continue to hand over their females, it will spell the end of their tribe. Their only choice is to sacrifice a willing male and hope the Ice God accepts their offering.

  Kai has never been spiritual, so he’s forced to offer up his life to the god. Either he goes, or his best friend and sister will take his place. Kai accepts his fate, ready to die for his tribe. He surrenders his life to the Ice God.

  Only it’s not his life the god wants.

  About the Author

  Chapter One

  Two Weeks Left to Live…

  Kai paddled through the crystal clear water, the light from the sun warming him through. Lifting his head slightly to let the illumination cross his face, he glanced at the puffy white clouds in the bright blue sky above. He moved closer and closer to the reef, sure he’d find more fish hiding at the edges.

  “You’re going too far out,” Tona, his best friend and fellow fisherman, called out. “You can’t pass the reef.”

  “I’m not passing it,” Kai mumbled under his breath instead of calling back. If he yelled, he’d scare away any fish nearby. If Tona hadn’t already.

  Once he was close enough, he tucked his oar into his small ti’akim and grabbed his old net. Kai glanced at it, knowing it needed some mending, but hopefully it would work for him once more before that could happen. He climbed to his feet before carefully moving to the front, flatter edge of his boat. After a quick glance around, he cast his net out, stretching his body as far as it could move as he flung it toward the reef. Another quick tug and he jerked the net back to him—filled with a bunch of wriggling fish.

  A broad smile crossed his face.

  And then he saw a chunk of ice within.

  Kai cast a glance out at the reef and the wall of ice just outside it. A chill raced down his spine. This close to the reef, he could feel the drop in temperature. That ice surrounding their tropical world confined them there.

  No one but him saw it for what it was—a prison.

  The tribe blessed their god for giving them a tropical paradise amongst the cold and ice. They praised him, thanking him for all he gave them. An island, verdant with life… warm water filled with life around them… everything within the reef that ringed the island was a paradise unlike any other.

  A paradise they could never leave.

  I should be thankful, too…

  Kai couldn’t stop feeling the isolation and desire to explore racing through his veins. Staring out at the icebergs and chucks of ice floating in the distance, he knew the world outside their realm was dangerous and bleak. There were stories of some who’d tried to leave a long, long time ago. The old tales said that if they left the island, they would never find it again to return.

  But if no one had ever returned, how did they know this?

  Kai reached in for the chunk of ice and tossed it into the water. He then lowered his net to the woven basket strapped to his ti’akim and dumped his catch before seating himself and grabbing his oar. With a few paddles back toward their island home, he caught up with Tona. Stopping with a grin to his face, Kai lifted his basket to show off his catch.

  “I told you they were hiding close to the reef.”

  “If Na’bu finds you getting that close again, he’ll have your hide,” Tona said, a glare in his usually kind eyes.

  Their chief, Na’bu, was a strict taskmaster, he knew. But Kai hadn’t technically broken any rule. “I didn’t go past it.”

  Tona’s shoulders relaxed some. “Close enough that you captured some ice in your net.”

  Kai’s eyes widened some.

  “You push too far, Kai.”

  Kai placed the basket down with a huff. “Fish have been fewer these last weeks. I had to push. We must make the Offering and be able to feed our families.”

  Tona began to paddle closer to shore, and Kai followed. His friend cast him a glance. “Once we have the Offering, the fish will become plentiful again. They always do. The Ice God has always blessed us with enough.”

  Kai knew this, but that was still two weeks away. The Offering would deplete their stores as it was. In the meantime, they couldn’t starve. “Why we have to give him so much, I’ll never understand. He needs our cold just as much as we need him to take it from us. Yet he demands more.”

  Tona glared at him. “He gives us all we need to live.”

  “As long as we never leave this realm,” Kai shot back.

  “Blasphemy doesn’t look good on you.”

  Kai paused, confused. “When did you go become devout on me?” They’d often complained about the Ice God’s demands on them… but hadn’t spoken much about it since the last Offering… when Tona’s sister had been taken by the deity. Kai hadn’t known what to say… how to make it better…

  Tona shot him a glare. “You’ve seen him. You’ve seen what he can do. You know what he gives us, and in my opinion, what he takes is much less than he could demand. If not for him, we would all die. It is an honor to be chosen as an offering. It’s an honor to the sacrificed and their family.”

  “We could travel out past the reef,” Kai said. “There could be other worlds out there, ones where we could make a new home. Ones where we didn’t have to hand over our sisters to him.”

  Tona shook his head, an odd look crossing his face. “Don’t talk like that. He might hear.”

  “You of all people should understand how wrong this is. After Mei’lani—”

  “Stop!” Tona interrupted at the mention of his sister’s name. “No more, Kai. No more. There is nothing for us outside the reef. This is our world, and we must sacrifice for it.”

  A year of silence… a year of loss… and somehow Tona had changed so dramatically? How had he come to this? How had Ton
a suddenly become agreeable to the sacrifices they made? He opened his mouth to argue but was cut off…

  A shell horn sounded in the distance, calling all to the village. Kai swallowed the argument on his lips and dug in with his oar, forcing himself faster through the waters. He arrived on shore and tugged his ti’akim up higher onto the sands before reaching for his basket of fish.

  He didn’t wait for Tona. Irritation at his friend’s sudden devotion coursed through his veins. A little distance before he said something with anger was for the best. As he approached his family’s hut, he dropped the basket just outside and peeked in.

  No one was home. Kai wandered up through the village and into the long house, where almost the entire village was assembling before the Elder Council.

  Tona stormed in the other side, offered Kai a glare, and then sat with his family. Kai found his own—his father, grandmother, and sister. They smiled up at him as he moved closer and took a seat on the smooth wooden floor behind his grandmother.

  “Catch anything?” Nanni asked him, casting a glance over one shoulder.

  He pretended the day hadn’t gone well. His grandmother’s face fell… and he couldn’t hold back his smile. She turned and tugged on one of his ears, hiding a smile of her own. “Such a bad boy.”

  “I am no boy,” he murmured. “I’m a man.”

  “Barely,” she scolded. “You’re still a long way from my years, Kai’toa. You’ll forever be my golden boy.”

  His grandmother had never told him just how old she was and if he’d asked, she’d told him it was none of his business. Kai knew she was at least as old as the chief, which would make her nearing her ninetieth year. She was about four times as old as he was and had experienced so much.

  Nanni pressed a kiss to his forehead and brushed back his hair. Kai’s stare moved to his father, who was quieter than normal.

  “He worries for your sister,” Nanni whispered.

  “Will she be chosen this year, you think?” More boys had been born in the last few decades than girls… and with the god taking a young woman each year, those numbers dwindled farther. Without their women, fighting between the men over the few left had grown.

  Kai hadn’t fought. There were no females on the island who caught his eye.

  Yet he still understood the tribe’s danger in fading out of existence. Without their females, there would be no next generation.

  “I don’t know,” Nanni answered. “I’ve prayed to the heavens that they not pick her.”

  The heavens? Was there really such a place, he wondered to himself.

  Na’bu, the chief, rose from his place at the long dais filled with the elder council and the crowd of villagers quieted. His face was almost as weathered as Nanni’s, one of his eyes whitened with age. His skin was darkly tanned; so dark that the tribal tattoos were barely visible along his arms.

  Kai glanced at his own arm and the few rings he’d received. Once day his arm would tell the tale of his life, just as this elder’s did.

  “We have called this assembly early because the council have come to a… unique… decision,” the chief announced.

  Murmurs moved about the space.

  “The Offering is upon us… we have many blessings to be thankful for… and we do not wish to offend our great and powerful Ice God.” The chief paused, a look of turmoil on his face. “But the future of our tribe is at risk. There are so few females to offer the god… within a few years, we might have none.”

  A hush fell over the tribe.

  “Get on with it,” Nanni muttered under her breath.

  The chief looked over them, as if what came next was too difficult to share. Finally, he took a deep breath. “We will offer the Ice God a male this year.”

  A male? Shock raced through Kai at the thought.

  “But we have always given him females,” Nanni called out. “Might he be offended? This could put us all in danger.”

  “The ancient texts do not specify female over male,” Na’bu answered.

  “We have no true idea what the Ice God does with his sacrifices,” their shaman added. “They never return, so we do not truly know if they are used in a sexual manner.”

  “By the way he eyes them, his big cock out and erect, we all know what he plans to do with our females,” Tona’s father called out. “What he did with my daughter!”

  The Ice God came to them completely naked, his body covered in snow and ice. While he looked almost human, his sheer size, the cold and magic emanating from him, told a different story. Perhaps he’d once been like them and was imbued with powers… or he was a monster hiding beneath the skin he showed. Kai wasn’t sure which… and he wasn’t sure he wanted to learn the truth.

  “You are not the only person here who has lost a daughter,” Na’bu roared. “I myself lost one of my own!” The chieftain moved closer to Tona’s father. “Most of us have lost someone.”

  “Regardless of what he does,” the shaman said, rising to his feet, “a sacrifice must be made or we all die. If our people are to survive, a male must be taken this Offering. A beautiful, young male who will entice the god.” The shaman lifted a hand, pointing into the crowd. “Like your son, Tona.”

  Kai’s stare turned to Tona. His face had gone white as a sheet, his eyes and mouth open wide. Even though they’d argued, Tona was his best friend.

  “Our daughter was sacrificed just last year,” Tona’s father cried.

  The shaman smiled. “Tona would make an excellent offering.”

  Tona turned to see Kai staring at him. Fear coursed over his friend’s face… and Kai wondered if Tona’s recent words were coming back to haunt him yet.

  The shaman turned and took a few steps forward. “Perhaps we should allow the Ice God a choice. Since Nann’manalla brought up a concern, perhaps we should offer her granddaughter, as well,” the elder said, pointing at Kai’s sister.

  Kai jumped to his feet. “No! She’s barely of age.”

  “Barely,” the shaman cooed. “But she came of age last month. She would be a fine tribute to our Ice God.” He smiled wickedly. “That way, we can see if our god would accept a male in sacrifice or not.”

  “There are other females, older than Lei’nala. Ones who have never been offered,” Kai went on. Their family was not wealthy or powerful in the tribe, and because of it, his sister would pay. Kai turned and saw his father sitting silently, no fight in him. It only angered Kai all the more.

  “Then perhaps you will take her place,” the shaman said with a grin.

  “You’ve already chosen a male,” Kai spat, glaring at Tona.

  “My, my, and I thought you a friend of Tona’s? You’re so ready to allow him to sacrifice himself?” the shaman asked. He stepped closer and eyed Kai. “Here I thought you might want to save your friend and your sister.”

  Kai was taken aback. “What do you mean?” Had he been the shaman’s target after all? He struggled to breathe, knowing his very life was on the line.

  The shaman smiled. “All you have to do is go willingly and you save them both. If not, either your sister or your best friend will die.”

  Kai glared at the old shaman. “You twisted bastard.”

  Gasps raced through those nearby at his words.

  “I sensed you would need encouragement to lay your life down at our god’s feet.”

  Nanni rose and faced the shaman. “Underhanded… and cruel, you are.”

  Kai felt the bile rising in his throat. “Why?”

  The shaman moved closer to Kai. “Because it must be you.”

  “So what will it be, Kai?” the chief asked. “Will you sacrifice yourself to the Ice God in your sister’s and Tona’s stead?”

  “You can’t do this!” Nanni cried.

  Kai looked down at his father and sister. Kai’s father closed his eyes, a single tear streaming down one cheek. His sister, Lei’nala, shook her head.

  “No, Kai. I won’t live knowing it was because of your death.”

  Lei�
�nala rose to her feet and faced the chief. Time slowed as Kai stared at her squared shoulders, the resolute stance she made. She was willing to offer her life for the tribe.

  For him.

  “I will—”

  “No!” Kai said. “I will take my sister’s place.”

  “No!” Lei’nala cried, spinning to face him. “No, Kai… don’t do this.”

  “It’s done,” Kai spat.

  “Lovely,” the shaman said with a smile before turning to the chief.

  “You scheming bastards!” Nanni cried.

  “Enough!” the chief blasted, quieting the whole tribe. “Kai would never have agreed to be sacrificed…”

  “Unless you forced his hand,” Nanni finished.

  Kai stood there, silent with rage. They’d known he wasn’t devout. Known he wouldn’t have willingly sacrificed himself… they’d used his love for his sister to make him accept this fate.

  “The shaman… saw Kai with the Ice God. This is the way it must be,” Na’bu muttered. He looked out to the tribe. “In two weeks… Kai will be given as our Offering.”

  “What of the female?” Nanni asked, her tone low and dangerous sounding, even in Kai’s sense of shock. “What of the choice?”

  “There will be none. I saw Kai and only Kai on the dais,” the shaman said. “I saw the Ice God take to him. It is Kai’s fate.”

  Kai barely heard or saw anything that happened after that. He was so consumed by anger… and fear… that it was his sole focus.
