Ziggurat

She climbed to the top of the ancient stone steps, her rapid breaths keeping pace with her feet. she doesn't know what awaits her at the top: her father, missing for the past 6 years; the secret to the curse that has besieged her village of late; or the most valuable jewel in the world. But the seer said it was one of those three, and no matter what it cost, she must be the first to retrieve it. If not... The seer had set his mouth in a grim line.

If not, all is lost.
