  In a small village nestled between rolling hills and dense forests, a curious discovery was made by a young girl named Alex. She had brown eyes and brown hair, with two braids, a navy-blue shirt and long pants overalls, and she had big brown boots. With a spirit as adventurous as the wind, Alex was always drawn to the mysteries hidden within the woods surrounding her home. 
  One bright and sunny afternoon, Alex embarked on one of her explorations, venturing deeper into the forest than ever before. She followed a winding path that seemed to beckon her forward, weaving its way through the towering trees and whispering secrets in the breeze. 
  As Alex wandered deeper into the heart of the forest, her senses came alive with the sights and sounds of nature. Birds sang melodious tunes high above, while squirrels chattered playfully in the branches. With each step, Alex felt the anticipation building within her—a feeling that something extraordinary awaited her just around the next bend.....

  The Gifts of Asti

  The Gifts of Asti by Andre Norton - She was the guardian of the worlds, but HER world was dead. 
  Even here, on the black terrace before the forgotten mountain retreat of Asti, it was possible to smell the dank stench of burning Memphir, to imagine that the dawn wind bore upward from the pillaged city the faint tortured cries of those whom the barbarians of Klem hunted to their prolonged death. Indeed it was time to leave— 
  Varta, last of the virgin Maidens of Asti, shivered. The scaled and wattled creature who crouched beside her thigh turned his reptilian head so that golden eyes met the aquamarine ones set slantingly at a faintly provocative angle in her smooth ivory face. 
  "We go—?" 
  She nodded in answer to that unvoiced question Lur had sent into her brain, and turned toward the dark cavern which was the mouth of Asti's last dwelling place. Once, more than a thousand years before when the walls of Memphir were young, Asti had lived among men below. But in the richness and softness which was trading Memphir, empire of empires, Asti found no place. So He and those who served Him had withdrawn to this mountain outcrop. And she, Varta, was the last, the very last to bow knee at Asti's shrine and raise her voice in the dawn hymn—for Lur, as were all his race, was mute. 
  Even the loot of Memphir would not sate the shaggy headed warriors who had stormed her gates this day. The stairway to Asti's Temple was plain enough to see and there would be those to essay the steep climb hoping to find a treasure which did not exist. For Asti was an austere God, delighting in plain walls and bare altars. His last priest had lain in the grave niches these three years, there would be none to hold that gate against intruders.
