A scene
The Turanian fortress has three walls, two portcullises and forty archers, and the monk Karim walks through all of them. He steps into the stone of the first wall like a man stepping into a pool, and out the other side into the courtyard. Arrows hiss at him and pass through his body as if through smoke. He rises into the air, flying twice as fast as he could run, clears the last wall, and drifts down onto the road outside. He has only a little time left, so he walks briskly.
