Challenge #03419-I131: Passed With Flying Colours

"Don't bother the gods and they won't bother with you." She said. However, in back memory is one lost to both time and other things, is a time when she did see the inside of an old, run-down, temple as a little girl. She rescued what she thought was just an old person stuck in the rubble. They were deeply grateful for her kindness.

There were no rootless people left. Not at first glance. A low groan that may have scared off any other child came from the rubble. Magnolia tip-toed in to see what it was. He was no ghost. Not yet. A withered old tatter of a being caught under some fallen beams and unsuccessfully trying to dig himself out.
