Quotes / Technic History

Light that leaps from a sun still sunken hails the hunter at hover,

Washes his wings in molten morning, startles the stars to cover.

Blue is the bell of hollow heaven, rung by a risen blowing.

Wide lie woodlands and mountain meadows, great and green with their growing.

But look-oh, look!-a red ray struck

Through tattered mist a broadhorn buck.

Stands traitor-kissed, the talons crook.

Tilt through tumult of wakened wind-noise, whining, whickering, whirly;

Slip down a slatwise course of currents. Ha, but the hunt comes early!

Poise on the pinions, take the target there in the then of swooping-

Thrust on through by the wind-wild wingbeat, stark the stabber comes stooping

The buck may pose for one short breath before it runs from whistling death

The Hammer stuns. The talons close.

Hunting song of the Ythrians. From 'People of the Wind'.''
