"Over the centuries she had fallen in love with the place. A narrow plain, sunny three hundred days a year, blooming with poppies, watered by little rivers snaking out of arroyos in the nearby mountains. She had built her altar on one of the hills.

Sometimes lost war bands would wander to its sunny hills, lie down beside the crashing waves, and see strange visions."
