History

This children's game was created so long ago that no one can really trace it's origins. Some of the less-credible sources in the world claim it to be derived from an ancient, primal ritual that was performed in or around The Onyx. There is no credible evidence to support this.

Execution

A child stands in the middle of this circle and closes their eyes, holding a single finger straight up into the air. This is meant to represent the heights of the Onyx. A group of children take each other's hands and surround the center child, forming a wide ring. They chant this rhyme and when it's done the child in the center drops their finger and the circle halts. Whichever child is being pointed at is out of the circle, and the circle closes without them. This process repeats until there are only two children left, where upon they hug the child in the center and all three fall back looking up at the sky.
