The next morning the entire town was abuze, they were all up and moving and things stayed active all day, lots of cooking, lots of drinking, it was like one big day of party, a party that ended in the death of a fifteen year old girl.

As the sun started to set though people started towards the temple, where the giant stone bowl that held the dwindling blue flame burned. A small stone table had been set behind it, facing the city, at a slant with grooves in it. Isa was inside the temple in a beautiful white gown. She looked down at the gather crowd, scanning it for her brother. "Come now Isa, it's time," One of the priests said, taking her hand and leading her down to the front.
