Description
The castle had been built before the first known palace in Europe. It was fashioned centuries ago inside the walls of a stone cliff with two taller cliffs rising on either side. Beyond was a break between, allowing a narrow entrance to the cliff dwelling from the outside. In front there was a small plateau of rock ending in a precipice, which descended with a drop of a hundred feet to a new ledge, and then came another still deeper fall. That afternoon a group of four persons were inside the ancient cliff dwelling. One of them-a young girl in an odd costume which was partly modern and yet suggesting an older race-had climbed to the crest of the ruins and stood, with her hand above her eyes, gazing about her.
