Before Shasha began to dive, the emerald gemstone on Aiwass's chest shone with the radiant glow of the Path.

The free people on the ground were either kneeling before various idols or focusing on their prayers.
No one looked up to gaze at the sky—nor did anyone dare to do so.
To look up to the sky was equivalent to placing the statues of the "generous Adil," found throughout the city, beneath one's sight. In Parthia, seeing someone "under the eyes" signifies looking down on or despising them. If someone with intent reports this, or if soldiers notice, they would immediately increase their attention on this person.
