Her benefactor had paid her a large sum to locate

this forgotten place, and after weeks of pouring over

ancient maps, she had pieced together the location of

the temple. Now, she had a decision to make. If she

soldiers followed his orders without hesitation, they might
have a chance of survival. He stood up, and for what could be
