    Wouldn’t the second one seeing the first one released over the volcano simply jump off into the ocean?

      A cloud descenda out of the sky and offers a rainbow swing to sit on and fly away. The only way a sane person would ever ride on that, unprompted and unprepared to see such a thing, is if there was a charm or mesmerizing effect happening. These folks stood no chance. The clouds showed up and Aranaktu welcomed them all.

        The other way would be if someone hadn’t had all hope and wonder removed from them

          That’s why old groucy cynics rarely get dropped into Volcanos. Remember kids being a Sourpuss saves your life.

      Aranaktu looks like he’s a least a kilometer tall. Those children were doomed the moment they sat on those rainbow swings.

      It’s not just a volcano, it’s Aranaktu. Why would you pass up your one chance?

      It’s not clear whether the people know they’re going off to be sacrificed or not. Maybe they’re glad to do it.
