A scene
The market thief has three city guards on his heels when he dives past the fortune teller's stall in Tartessos. Teodor, a charlatan who once took the boy's coin for a bad prophecy and likes him anyway, mutters a single dark word and flicks his wrist toward the square behind them. A circle of blackness forty feet across drops over the fountain like a lid. The guards stumble in, cursing and blind, and have to feel their way out the far side. By then the thief is long gone, and so is Teodor.
