The Southern Sea was no longer blue. It was a searing, monochromatic white.
As the Solaris breached the outer perimeter, the Light-Fortress, a colossal, artificial island of ivory marble roared into life. It didn't fire cannons; it fired geometry. Massive, rotating mirrors atop the fortress’s spires caught the midday sun and magnified it into a "Mirage Field." The air rippled as the temperature skyrocketed, creating dozens of ghostly, shimmering images of the fortress. To the Northern sailors, it looked like they were sailing into a hall of mirrors where every reflection could kill.
