On a steep cliff, heavy iron chains personally forged by Hephaestus clanged continuously against stones already marked by years of impact as they swayed in the wind.
Clang, clang!
The only thing in heaven and earth answering those metallic chimes was the shrill cry of an eagle echoing from the sky.
