They would drive their ships upon our shore and find waiting no blade or bludgeon. The clash of steel and pounding armor is absent, replaced by the whisper of wind through wild grasses. On the plain beyond the shore, a spotted pattern of white on green, like light catching facets of an emerald. But these flickers of light are human, all of them, a hundred thousand of them.

This is the kneeling army.

They would leave their ships with wary confidence to face the unnarmed mass, all of them with eyes closed and palms upturned and every chest rising and falling in time to something none of these invaders hear.

No sound but their own shuffling. No relief from their own staring. 

He is cocky and leaves his brothers to strike down the nearest white-robed figure. She is young and freckle-faced and motionless and silent. Sword draws back, aiming for the neck.

The sword stops, soundlessly, on a ripple in the air. The warrior grunts into the silence, like that will help him, and presses the sword against nothing. Pulling it back results only in his fingers slipping free.

Turbans worn in Rajastan are referred to as the Pagari. They vary in style, colour and size. They also indicate a wearer's social class, caste, region and the occasion it being worn for. Its shape and size may also vary with the climatic conditions of the different regions. Turbans in the hot desert areas are large and loose. Farmers and shepherds, who need constant protection from the elements of nature, wear some of the biggest turbans. The Rajasthani turban also has many practical functions. Exhausted travellers use it as a pillow, a blanket or a towel. It can be used to strain muddy water. An unravelled turban can also be used as a rope to draw water from a well with a bucket.[3]

The canary griffins are a Pashukrta created long ago by an ancestor of the brothers. Trapped after a cave collapsed, the earth Pashunara's hope and resilience manifested as these tiny creatures, who remain close friends with the earth Pashunara to date.
