Nothing was ever going to be the same. She knew it, she had felt it right from the very first moment. This place, where she was condemned for the rest of her life, was a bottomless well; it accepted no way out, there was no room for any contrition in your steps. No matter where you were from, no matter who you were before, despite all martyrs of tempting beauties within yourself, once you got in, that well-known, lackadaisical dimness would capture all your tracks.
It was a dangerous path, it was a forbidden path.
Her whole life had passed listening to those abiding stories had been told and retold in her small town. Some would ruffle your soul, some would make you shudder uncontrollably. That mystic realm, that unexplainable feeling they had been mentioning could shake your world up over and over.
Then after a while, she started to believe that all those stories were meant to prepare them. They were trying to build a guardian shelter upon their heads. They were trying to spare the last remaining children.
Just like it was told; some heeded and carried away progressively while the others fell and stuck into the cobweb.
She, in plain English, was one of the wretched preys, that no one cared enough to remember.
She, thinking she would find the nectar of Greek God's, went to the place called wicked.
But in the end, all she's seen was ~ Moche*.
*Moche: Forensic anthropologist John Verano of Tulane University in New Orleans has been investigating a series of grisly executions in the arid valleys of lowland Peru. Evidence from the skeletal remains shows that the victims, who lived during the Moche civilization nearly two thousand years ago, suffered shockingly brutal deaths. When the graves at a Moche temple complex in northern Peru were uncovered, the human remains showed many clear marks of violence. Some were apparently skinned alive. Others were drained of blood, decapitated, or bound tightly and left to be eaten by vultures. But who were they, and why were they killed so viciously? Various theories arose to explain it. One proposes that the Moche sacrificed some of their own people to appease the gods and improve the fertility of their land. Another suggests that the victims were enemies of the Moche executioners—losers of fierce power struggles between competing prehistoric city-states—who were ritually murdered.
