Jedra, busy haggling over the price of a new waterskin, flinched as the bright blue flash illuminated the food and clothing and harness stands around him. In the same instant, a thunderclap rattled the entire bazaar and echoed off the adobe brick walls of the one-and two-story buildings surrounding it.  \nJedra turned, ears ringing, to see a four-slave sedan chair on the ground only a few yards away, the overweight templar it had carried angrily brushing sand off his black robe of office while three heavily muscled slaves frantically righted the chair. The fourth slave lay on the ground, a patch of melted sand a few inches across bubbling beside his smoking body.  \nThe slave must have stumbled and pitched the templar out, Jedra supposed, and the templar had killed him for it. Case closed.  \nActivity had stopped in the bazaar, but as others came to the same conclusion it picked up again. Jedra turned back to the water vendor, a leathery old elf with an eyepatch over his left eye, and said,“All right, two ceramics for the waterskin, but only ifit’s full.”  \nThe elf peered at Jedra, no doubt trying to judge how far he could push this young, skinny half-elf, but at last he nodded.“Done,” he said, and he filled the teardrop-shaped leather sack from a barrel at the back of his stand, careful not to spill a single drop, while Jedra dug into his pouch for two fragments of ceramic coin. They were the last of Jedra’s money. If he was to eat today, he would have to find work or scavenge something he could sell.  \nTaking the skin from the elf, he drained a fourth of its contents in two long swallows, then slung it around his shoulder by the strap, the weight of it comforting. At least he wouldn’t go thirsty today.  \nThe templar was already gone when he turned around again, as was the sedan chair and the slave’s body. All that remained of the incident was the small glassy pool where the lightning bolt had melted the sand. Ever curious, Jedra kicked at it with the toe of his sandal, and a piece of glass flaked off the top. It was several inches across and an inch or so thick in the middle, but thinner around the edges.  \nHe bent down and picked up the fragment, then nearly dropped it again when he looked into it. There, amid the bubbles and streaks, danced a tiny upside-down image of a thri-kreen.  \nHe looked beyond the glass. The actual creature stood across the way, its six-limbed, mantislike insectile body glistening in the sunlight as it examined a gythka - a polearm with blades at either end - at an armorer’s stall.  \nThe thri-kreen seemed oblivious to Jedra and his glass. Cautiously, lest he be less fortunate a second time, Jedra looked through the glass again, turning slowly and watching as the upside-down bazaar slid bybackward. No one noticed that they had been turned on their heads, if indeed they had. Jedra put his free hand out beyond the glass to see if he could feel any sensation.  \nA point of bright light slid across his wrist, and when he paused to look at it, he felt a sudden sting of heat. The glass had burned him!  \nJedra rubbed at his wrist, but he smiled. The glass must still hold a bit of the lightning bolt that had created it. That might be worth something to the right person. He glanced at a spice stand draped with herbs and roots, a stand that was rumored to be a black market outlet for the things used in the creation of magic. The proprietor would probably buy the glass from him.  \nHe took a few steps toward the stand, then stopped, realizing he was reluctant to part with his new treasure so soon. A half-breed elf with no home and no magical training didn’t often find himself in possession of wondrous devices. He had no doubt he would have to sell it eventually, but the day was still young and his hunger was still bearab","cbCaigat3Qk1hw0i","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigat3Qk1hw0i","pdf",216339,26,"English","# The Lightning Incident\n# The Burning Glass Fragment\n## Distorted Perception and Upside-Down Views\n# Experiment in the Alley\n# The Nobleman’s Discovery and Pursuit","[{\"question\":\"What triggers Jedra’s first discovery at the bazaar?\",\"answer\":\"A lightning bolt flashes in the clear sky, killing a slave and leaving behind a small glassy pool where the sand melts.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does Jedra believe the glass might be valuable?\",\"answer\":\"The glass burns him when he touches it, suggesting it still contains the heat of the lightning bolt that created it.\"},{\"question\":\"What major ability does the glass reveal to Jedra?\",\"answer\":\"At the right distance, it makes things seem greater than they are, including the apparent heat and presence of Athas’s red sun, while also turning objects beyond arm’s reach upside down.\"}]","A Little Knowledge - Jerry Oltion | PDF",1791252217]
