Sacrifice to the Gods

Viscacha's live in a dangerous world. When your neighbors are Jaguars, Cougars, Caimans and Anacondas you have to keep an eye out. While they're not an especially warlike people, living on sheer cliff faces adds some security, it's still a rough neighborhood. And every rough neighborhood has Gods that need to be appeased.

As a species of rodent, and a herbivorous one at that, Viscachas aren't exactly known for being that blood thirsty. Nor or their Gods. Therefor, the sacrifices tend to take on a different characteristic entirely. Prisoners are still sacrificed, and bodily fluids still spilled- but they're really not so keen on the blood. Vignette apparently heard about their peculiar method of pleasing the Gods and so decided that being captured in battle really wasn't all that bad a fate after all!

Nico, as the warrior who captured him, both begins and ends the ritual. As the sunsets on a long, sticky day he caps the sacrifice with one final go inside the prisoner who will be soon be released. Dazed, but not that much worse for wear.
