Кэролайн Черри - Fortress in the Eye of Time

He looked at the sky, at common, gray-bottomed clouds. He looked about him at the woods. Owl had gone, Shadow that he was, into the trees, where he was more comfortable. But he knew where Owl was. Owl had gone to the river, where the small creatures had not been startled into hiding. Owl would wait for night. That was the kind of creature Owl was, as kings were kings and lords were lords and the likes of Uwen Lewenʼs-son would always stay faithful.

He saw no shadow in the sky. None on the horizon. He did not know how to answer Uwenʼs question, but he thought that he would sit down on the rocks near the road, and wait, and see what the world of Men was about to be.
