A scene
The caravan guards of Ispahan ride in a tight ring around the sultan's camels, and the witch Leyla has no wish to fight them. From the shelter of a dune she sends a slow gray cloud rolling across the sand toward them. It swallows the whole column. Guards slump in their saddles and slide gently to the ground; camels fold their knees and snore. One grizzled captain coughs, shakes his head, and draws his sword against nothing. He has an hour to guard sleeping men alone. Leyla sighs.
