“We’ll have to ask Hakim to look for crystals, along with another mirror, when he goes to Sennen.”
“We’ve got mirrors here in Tuarcansy. Can’t we use them?”
“Our mirrors are all highly polished metal. These were made of thin foil and glass.”

“Rumours of danger are a good way to keep the curious from going where you don’t want them to. We’ve encouraged stories of sand that swallows travellers, a lack of water or shelter.' from #Sakhira buff.ly/h57Npyj

I'm fascinated by tech. I tend to think of #AI as a tool. I've yet to see any AI generated writing that convinces me it can write well, but I used it to generate this image of the Shield Generator from my novel #Sakhira. It's a good way to test a description you've written. amzn.to/3FPxUoQ

“I thought the shield was made of glass, like the dome of the walled cities.” Sakhira said. “I keep expecting to see sheets of glass.”
“No, the glass was devised by Julian to create the domes of the walled cities. It seems the original shield was made of light.” From amzn.to/3FPxUoQ

'Sakhira had heard Abelard teaching the children. He had a canny knack for creating something useful out of almost anything. Their success owed much to his ingenuity. He’d created toys using scraps of cloth and metal, and was a firm favourite with them. ' #Sakhira #Fantasy #SciFi

" a twisted metal object, mangled iron arms hanging down. Metal pieces lay scattered on the floor around the object. The walls were covered in a mix of writing, symbols & diagrams. Some were still clear, others had been scored and obscured. "

“when the shield was gone, the scorching heat of the sun burst through. It killed all it touched. Plants and animals withered and died, people caught in the sun perished an agonising death. Within months the land had died and the desert began to spread.

"There were 10 stars which signalled the passage of night. They were named after the first shield keepers... Ardouin, warned of only an hour before the dawn, to find shelter from the sun, to wait through the hours of burning daylight. "

"Feeling the cold night air on his face, Seyerlin felt a surge of pleasure to be out in the desert again. Even though Zergan was far from the normal trade routes, it was close to the village of Eyla where he had once lived. "

"Moving cautiously, she soon reached the rock ledge, and crawled onto it, finding the ledge was large enough for several people to stand on. There appeared to be the opening of a cavern, but it was dark beyond the entrance. “I need a lamp. "

The remains of the instrument stood in the centre of the room:
"Twisted metal legs curved up from a stone plinth to create a cradle, but the fingers grasped empty air, bent away from each other, as if something had been prised from within them. " amzn.to/41kFxe4 #Sakhira
