The Garden of Rings

A jade-grey warrior stands on one leg in crane stance in a meadow by a lake, under a ringed giant planet.

Crane stance puts the whole body over one foot. Small shifts in the ankle keep the centre of mass above the support. That is mastery of the physical laws, balance against gravity.

Olara and its ringed planet are invented. Planetary rings are made of many small orbiting particles, as Saturn's rings are.

Practice

Stand on one leg for thirty seconds, then switch.
