Further down, there's a network of small shops, interspersed with various nooks and archways framing the entrances to courtyards. But what's this? Somewhere in the distance, an unusual sound can be heard, although it's more likely that the wind is making some noise. It's strange; I've been standing on the street for about five minutes, and there's still no sign of movement, except, of course, for the inexplicable sound somewhere ahead.
