Sia (god)



Sia appeared standing on the Solar barge during its journey through the night in New Kingdom underworld texts and tomb decorations, together with Hu, the "creative utterance," and Heka, the god of magic.

The wagon shuddered to a stop less than ten cubits from the chicken house smithy, and a black-faced Sias set the brake, then clambered down.

After the two shoveled the rough chunks of coal into a pile, and Sias led the team toward the corral, Nylan stepped toward the forge and looked at the short heap of white-bronze blades.

A half-dozen deadly arrowheads later, Nylan set aside the hammer, let Sias bank the forge coals, and walked to the shaded stoop of the dwelling, from where Ayrlyn had waved-presumably to indicate she had something resembling a midday meal.

FUERA, AND Sias sat around the low coals of the fire, a fire ringed with stores used by others, but not in years, if not in centuries, stones so old that the soot was burned deep into their pores and crevices.

After a last gesture like a salute to Tonsar and Sias, he turned the mare toward the lane and the road southward.

Lasciami pensare, Gallagher è a New York, da qualche parte, e convive con un regista di Broadway, credo che sia Ollie Boon, sì, Ollie.

E giusto perché tu ne sia informato, Jeremy, la cosa mi coinvolge emotivamente perché amo i quadri, e non riesco a sopportare l'idea di aspettare due anni, se vuoi saperlo.

So solo che ti amo e non ho mai frequentato nessuno che, tranne la mia famiglia a New York, abbia amato e a cui mi sia affidato così tanto.

Sias added the brackish water to the quench barrel and then used a wooden scoop to add the brownish black coal to the forge coals.
