‘Was she a goddess, do you think?’.
‘A goddess, or a warning’.
‘Or a reminder that in spite of all our differences, we’re still one people’.
‘An ancient empress, perhaps, with all the different realms and customs making up her body, under the single head of her rule’.
'Or a damsel who offended some god and fell under a curse'.
'Or a monster that used to guard the treasure here'.
'Maybe she's still there'.
'We'll find that out soon enough. Let's keep going'.
