An ancient huge tower stands in the yellow sand of the sky, and a large flag sticks straight into the sky. The city walls on all sides are hundreds of feet high and are made of huge bluestones. The yellow sand forms undulating hills around the walls.
The sea of sand stretches as far as the eye can see. The huge city gate made of thousands of years of cold iron shone softly under the afterglow of the setting sun, giving it a strange feeling of warmth.
A burly man with an unshaven beard was lying on his back on a bluestone slab in front of the city gate, his half-open skirt revealing the scars crisscrossed by flying flowers underneath.
