Ilyr balances on one leg with a raised knee and high guard on a sandstone ledge, as two small suns rise over a desert.
The raised knee lifts to hip height while the standing leg stays slightly bent. One hand guards high and the other extends as a knife-hand. Keeping the weight over one foot is mastery of the physical laws.
Saeth is invented. Its two unequal suns are sized like the real stars of Kepler-16, one larger and one much smaller.
Practice
Lift one knee to hip height and hold for fifteen seconds.
