"Dengan membelakangi kami, Sean menarik halter dari kepala kuda betina. Dia menendang keluar, tetapi dia melangkah keluar dari jalan seolah-olah itu bukan apa-apa. Dengan mengibaskan surainya, dia melompat dengan kuat ke dalam air. Sejenak ia berjuang mengatasi ombak, lalu berenang. Hanya seekor kuda hitam liar di laut biru tua yang penuh dengan abu anak laki-laki mati lainnya."

--- Maggie Stiefvater

Versi Bahasa Inggris

With his back to us, Sean tugs the halter from the mare's head. She kicks out, but he steps out of the way as if it were nothing at all. With a shake of her mane, she leaps mightily into the water. For a moment she struggles over the waves, and then she is swimming. Just a wild black horse in a deep blue sea full of the ashes of other dead boys.
