Capítulo 58: Dark rituals

"This mechanism seems to be designed to activate only when there's exactly one person on this side of the platform." Uriel observed as he leaned forward to study the altar closely, but its design was simple and there were no carvings on sight. "This is an amazing finding! It is known that this Cenote was used as a place of adoration where the ancient Mayans offered gold and precious gems to Xibalbá, but it seems they also performed dark rituals in here." He exclaimed in glee.

"Dark rituals?" Nika scratched the back of her head.

"He means human sacrifices." Flanagan respectfully explained.

"That is correct." Uriel studied the altar from all sides with a dubious expression. "But something doesn't add up, I mean, human sacrifices were made a celebration and it was supposedly performed in front of everyone. Why would they put an altar in a place as secluded as this... it's almost like they were trying to hide something."
