A scene
The Fomorian longhouse was full of sleeping giants, snoring like surf, and the slave pen was at the far end. The wizard Branoc spoke his last word for a while and drew the silence around him. Then he walked the length of the hall. His boots made no sound on the rushes; his sword did not clink; even his breathing was gone. Once a giant stirred and opened one eye, stared straight through the gloom at nothing, and went back to sleep. At the pen, Branoc signaled to the captives with his hands. He could not speak a word.
