We're always being reprimanded for not taking the context into account. The context in this particular story couldn't be clearer if the pages were transparent. Man promises god to sacrifice first thing to greet him on his return home, in return for winning a battle. Man wins battle, returns hime. Daughter rushes out to greet him. Man not very happy but proceeds with sacrifice anyway. Everyone laments. Fade to black; roll credits. If you want to continue to argue that we have no record of what actually happened, despite the text stating what happened, then you are ruling out speculative rationalising on your part as well. Perhaps she turned into a giant butterfly and flew to Mars?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
