timewanderer[OOC: Warning for talk of human sacrifice]
Every fifty-two years it happens. There's no avoiding it. It is my fate almost to die every fifty-two years and the fate of some human to be sacrificed in my name so that I may live. The sacrifice is always willing for I do not accept the unwilling. Huranruli-kané may accept them, but I am not him and I wish never to be like him.
He's the one who almost kills me after all. Ever since that day I told him a fortune that he did not like, he has held a grudge against me. When that fortune came true, he came after me. I escaped with my life, but not without injury. I ran away to the Earth and hid my burn scars behind a mask. I wandered the Earth until I was ready to come back to the Heavens. But Huranruli continued to hold a grudge and twenty-six years after the first attack, he tried to kill me again.
He would've succeeded if I had not called out as I lay dying that if I died, all time would stop and with it, the universe and everything in it. A human heard my cries for help and he killed himself to give me his life so I may continue to live.
And now I am always in this cycle. Twenty-six years without scars, then twenty-six years as a wanderer and in the end a human will save me from death and will continue forever in me. That is why they come willingly. One person every fifty-two years to save everything is something my people can spare, especially if the person continues to live in me.
