Tamara is completely swayed by Erik's looks and cleverness.
Fascinated by the handsome stranger and certain that he really was a god, she happily said yes and called her family.

Tamara is left grieving by Erik's dishonesty and trickery.
In the East, on the terrace of a magnificent palace, a young girl sadly glanced at the sky from time to time, hoping that the god who had suddenly disappeared would come back again.
