...to view the devastation. I must admit that the damage done is appalling. It will be a miracle to see this rebuilt before the next Opet festival - that the temple should be out of action at such a critical time is inconceivable.

The overseer seems very busy as she harries the workers. I step nimbly away as two slaves carry small sections of cracked stone to the temple entrance. I approach her not worried about temorarily interrupting her duties. After all this grand-daughter of Seti is unconcerned about an overseer's trivial concerns. I am keen though to discover information about the new High Priestess.

"Overseer, I wish to locate the new priestess. Direct me to her. Is she here on the premises?"
