Downstream, commoners and highborn captains alike could see the hot green death swirling5 toward their rafts and carracks and ferries, borne on the current of the Blackwater. The long white oars6 of the Myrish galleys7 flashed like the legs of maddened centipedes as they fought to come about, but it was no good. The centipedes had no place to run. A dozen great fires raged under the city walls, where casks of burning pitch had exploded, but the wildfire reduced them to no more than candles in a burning house, their orange and scarlet8 pennons fluttering insignificantly9 against the jade10 holocaust11.
