I really liked the imagery, and I am curious as to what makes the main character so special.

To heighten the setting, the last sentence could be made more localized. Not sure if it was a play on words, but I would imagine a scorpion be pulled through a glass tube as grating and loud, instead of silent. But that might be the point. Maybe if it was across glass tiles, or something else middle easten, it further define the place?

Nice job!

Also a fan of the imagery, but I imagine a scorpion would put up some sort of fight if it were pulled through a glass tube, producing some skittering sounds.

I’m getting sort of a “Dune” vibe from this piece. Is the person everyone wants to see something of a Paul Atreides character?

Thanks for the feedback! The imagery was intentional, though might edit for localisation. Didn’t have Dune in mind, but it sounds like an interesting idea for a sequel!
