- Sie sprangen ins Leere und klammersten sich an die Messingstange, als wäre sie das letzte, was aus einer unter ihnen hinweggehenden Flutwelle aufragte, und dann beföderte die Stange sie zu ihrer Bestuerzung ins Dunkel hinunter, in das Fauchen und Räuspern des Drachens hinein, der mit Getöse zum Leben erwachte.
[…]
Er trat aus dem Fluß. Wie eine Flutwelle stürzte das Land auf ihn zu.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
