She had escaped from the village when the attack occurred and found her way to the once-sacred pool. The temple building had fallen into disarray and the pool was overgrown with lilypads and weeds, but still she begged the goddess for mercy and aid. “I know the village has turned away from you, but my grandmother and I still honor you.
