“Sometimes, after a sandstorm, entire fields of tokkals (bone flowers) rise from the sands, only to disappear after a couple of days, with no trace that they were ever here in the first place. We have no idea where they come from, or where they return to. Even digging yielded no results. Pretty, though. The clinking of the bones against one another sounds like an ocean of chimes.”
