Kathlyn felt a desire to explore this wonderful temple.

She discovered what must have been the inner shrine.

The chamber was filled with idols; here and there a bit of gold leaf, centuries old, glistened upon the bronze, the clay, the wood.

The caste mark on the largest idol's head was a polished ruby, overlooked doubtless during the loot.

She swept the dust from the jewel with the tip of her finger, and the dull fire sent a shiver of delight over her.
