"Soldiers," called a man, running along the escarpment, "roped together, are beginning to climb the back face of the mountain!" "It is to be a coordinated attack," said Cuwignaka. |

"The soldiers on the back face near the top," said a man. |

10 |

Then tarns, screaming, talons raking, wings beating, hurtled among the startled soldiers on the ledge, seizing and tearing at them, blasts of wind even from the wings forcing some back over the edge. |
