A scene
The Mestean shepherds had lost six sheep and a dog in the night. Bedwyr, the druid they had sent for, knelt in the trampled mud by the broken fold and did nothing at all for a long, patient minute, while the shepherds shifted and muttered. Then he stood. Three ogres, he said, and no more than that. The prints were made before midnight, perhaps five hours ago, and they led toward the gorge. He did not add that the prints were twice the size of his own boots. The shepherds could see that for themselves.
