Sacrifice[1] was written in response to the Spooky Halloween challenge in 2011 on the maryrenaultfics community (prompt: the unquiet dark). The Corinthian (a minor character in The King Must Die) goes to sacrifice to the god Poseidon the night before a performance and is given a sign he will die the next day. In the morning he salutes his successor (Theseus) just before he begins his last dance.
Comments by readers include:
- Oh my...I always loved the Corinthian and to have the end of his story told here in his own POV honors him--and his innate courage and dignity.—ladymouse2
