The Stone Light (2007)
“Merle could now distinguish creatures swarming around the stone colossi like mosquitoes, a multitude of dark dots. They were too far away to make out any details.
Merle and Winter took cover behind the stone bulge. Merle hoped that Vermithrax had also withdrawn deeper into the ear. She worried about him. He was alone and had no one to explain to him what was going on outside.
“He is doing well,” the Queen said reassuringly.
The first head, which was diagonally in front of them, sank into the sh...adows of the gigantic legs. From above, Merle could see the giant feet on the ground, mighty ovals of rock, around which snaked the Lilims’ route of march. Still, she wasn’t able to see the creatures in detail, so tight was the throng, so great the distance.
The heralds raised their flight path considerably, until they were soaring above the stone knees of the colossi. Merle lost sight of the columns deep below them and instead looked up at the gigantic bodies of the fighters. From close up, they could just as well have been bizarre rock formations; their proportions were discernible only from a distance.MoreLess
