Muni Naga then took thin, curved plates of tempered shell, smoothed and flexible, and began building interior channels that would hold and rotate arrows as they picked.
He shaped the inner chambers into simple slots, but into a double spiral structure, so arrows would never touch each other, never stick, and could flow in and out smoothly even during high-speed motion.
Each spiral took a full day to form and fuse.
By the time both spirals were done, he had already spent five days without sleep, his breath steady, his hands never shaking.
The next part was the quiver's mouth — the place from which arrows would fly out.
He carved the top edges into curved flares, polishing them with fine sandstone to ensure zero friction. He used a bone-tipped tweezer, carefully threading each strand into place over six hours for each quiver.
When done, the quiver mouths glowed faintly, releasing a breeze with every breath.
