Fate of the Maiden Bathed and perfumed, the maiden is dragged up the sacrificial hill.
Tied to the alter, the maiden is left to her fate.
Frantically, she looks all around her... Then just as the sun dips below the hill,
her fate glides from the north. She turns and and soundlessly stands transfixed as it sees her and begins to bank...
John M. J. Rayner Box Elder, South Dakota USA
