Noman
“All round her was the darkness of night, but this was not her own private darkness, which she so dreaded. This was the world's night, which glowed with quiet colors. Above her reached broad bars of amber. Round her, walls of dark blue. A door glowed with the blue-red tones of a damson.

No sounds of soldiers, but there were other sounds. The colore...d night was singing, a faraway round like the voices of children repeating the same lilting phrases, one after the other, a weave of sweet high song. Morning Star felt as if all her senses had been magnified, so that even under the blanket of night she could see and hear for miles. It seemed to her that no living thing could elude her notice; that she could hear the soft breathing of rabbits deep in their burrows, and see the turquoise sheen on the breast feathers of pigeons in the trees.
