From the dark forest that bordered the soft ploughed fields, came a low cry that did not belong to any animal. It was accompanied by the sound of branches bending and snapping, and the splintering of wood as trees were crushed or toppled onto their sides.

About This Quote

In the forest, a person can hear the howling of wolves. In the forest, a person can hear the crunching of branches and leaves as though they were snow underfoot. In the forest, a person can hear the crumbling and cracking of wood as trees topple one on top of another.
