They turned on the news to see what was going on.
"Oh dear," said the mouseboy named Das. "That's a big 'un."
The various Senshi stared, even Uranus feeling a bit intimidated.

Ami remembered the lines from the book and recited them as she viewed It.
The ranks of the orcs had opened, and they crowded away, as if they themselves were afraid. Something was coming up behind them. What it was could not be seen: it was like a great shadow, in the middle of which was a dark form, of man-shape maybe, yet greater; and a power and terror seemed to be in it and go before it.It came to the edge of the fire and the light faded as if a cloud had bent over it.
