A scene
The Sheban corsair fleet came in sight of Diaprepea at dawn and found the harbor of Mehedra crammed with Atlantean warships. There were dozens of them: great triremes with bronze rams and orichalc-trimmed sterns, their oars rising and falling, drums throbbing across the water, cooking smoke drifting from the decks. The corsairs heard the shouted orders and smelled the tar. On the cliff above, the magician Rafiq, who had conjured that whole fleet out of nothing, watched the corsairs turn tail. It would stand until dawn tomorrow.
