Despite the earth shaking, it was still busy at the temple. Maybe it was a sense of panic that encouraged people to go there. People weren’t sure whether to cram themselves inside or avoid it completely in case it collapsed. The occasional boom encouraged more people to step inside. Inside, the walls and ceiling were shaking. It wasn’t a great environment for contemplation and reflection, and the monks kept asking themselves what had gone wrong outside while trying their best to carry on as normal. There was a crash of lightning followed by a huge burst of sunlight. It was as if the rooftop had been torn open like some kind of packet.
In fact, that’s exactly what happened. Peering down at them
through the hole was the Empress.
‘Oh, hi little one’ she said, ‘I didn’t know that you came
here. But you should probably start following a new entity.’
