A heartbeat later, I saw why: through clouds of vinegar smoke, metal glittered under her burning clothes.

The rare metal and gems caught the sun's rays and glittered brightly.

Nylan watched as they fenced, the silvery metal of the Sybran blade glittering against the black of his.

The dense grey metal glittered and glowed in their work-lights and the reflection from a shaft of hard-edged sunlight falling through one of their entry holes.

Distant metal glittered in the heavy evening light.

Then- metal glittered and their pennons snapped smartly hi the breeze.

Sharp metal glittered for a moment in the candlelight.

No jewels or precious metals glittered in the walls, no delicately carved stone columns towered over them.

The hard metal glittered gold and green.

The metal glittered in the lamplight, alive and seeking.
