"What are you doing, my lady? The tour is only beginning." They chuckled, tugging me by the arm.

"But... what? Did you see that?" I looked at the statues which had returned to their previous positions.

"Uh... Wait, no. I'm fine," I assured, pulling their hands off. It's probably nothing. "So what else is there to see?"

It must be a trick of the light or something.

A girl in white robes thrust a tray of fruits in my face. "Would you like to have some?"

I picked up a banana and nodded in appreciation. It was a wonder how pristine the temple appeared. I thought it was ruined in the war with everything else. The tour around the temple ended when we arrived a private room.

"Leave all negativity out here and try not to think so much. It can be overwhelming for first timers," they said.
