A draft of wind blew past and ran through her hair. The air was crisp and the ocean smelled fresh and there was a thick coat of fog swirling around in the atmosphere. Passing crows flew through the air gracefully, their loud, croaky barks filling the air in a crescendo of volume. Sarah stared off into the distance as the cold and salty water lapped up onto the shore, and the sky was like a curtain of silk with puffy clouds of creamy white, that reminded her of the inside of her favorite dessert, a light and flaky pâte à choux pastry. She stared at the waves crashing upon the shore longingly. The beautiful sound of the waves soothed her like a lullaby her mother used to sing her when she was little. She dug her toes into the grainy, damp sand. She ran. Clumps of seaweed that had washed up on the beach made her stumble, but she kept going. The horizon was a line of nickel-silver. The sunset, a splash of red, yellow, and orange seemed to be seducing her and causing her to run even faster. Sarah jumped. The waves fell down upon her, wrapping her like a huge blanket. The salty water felt good. She grinned contently, vivacious, obviously pleased with her incredible accomplishment.

Answer:
He brings a black lamb as a sacrifice.
Explanation:
Odysseus summons the spirit of Tiresias by bringing a lamb to sacrifice. Odysseus is summoning the dead in a way called <em>necya</em>. It means that some dead being has to be sacrificed.
