I swung myself up and began to climb one of the two ropes leading to the great bird above me. - (Tarnsman of Gor, Chapter 14, Sentence #147)

When the bird drew again, there was a sharp pain as flesh was torn from my hand, but the rope darted off into the darkness, and I was swinging by my ankles from the other ropes.

He slashed downward, and I slipped down one talon of the bird, which screamed and became unmanageable. - (Tarnsman of Gor)
