They walked towards a small temple situated on top of the hill. It was not a long walk but there were a lot of stairs so Lillian was panting a little.
"What's this temple for?" she asked as she followed Lucas. There were very few people around because not many people were aware of this place.
"This is just a local shrine the people made for a girl," he explained. "A long time ago, there was a girl who used to live with her mother in the foot of the hills. They lived far away from the village and were confined to their own world. Everyday, the mother would lock her daughter up in the house and not let her go out."
"Why?" Lillian asked. She was now curious. Why would someone do that?
"They said that the girl's mother was possessive," he replied. "Some people even thought that the girl was not her daughter and the mother had kidnapped her. Whatever the reason was, she lived here with her mother alone."
"But why did they build the shrine?"
