A scene

The mystic Rukmini's former pupil ran away to join the Serpent Cult six months ago, and she knows he is somewhere in their temple, deep in the jungles of Lemuria. She knows his face, his voice, the way he laughs. She sits in her shrine a thousand miles away and reaches out to him with one silent command: walk out of that temple now. In the dark of the sanctuary the young man stands up abruptly from his prayers, turns and walks out, straight past the startled priests, and keeps walking.
