How these two moments in the story relate

Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The priest’s revelation that Sarah’s capture was ‘foretold’ and that she is intended as a sacrifice to Demnos is the direct cause of her being unchained, dressed in white, and prepared for ritual—immediately after, she is dragged away for sacrifice."

About Causal Connections
