Virginia Boecker, The Witch Hunter
"I circle around them, my sword pointed in their direction. "Hermes Trismegistus. Ostanes the Persian. Olympiodorous of Thebes---" I stop, feeling like an idiot. These necromancers and the ridiculous names they give themselves. They're always trying to outdo one another. "You five," I said instead. "By the authority of King Malcolm of Anglia, I am commanded to arrest you for the crime of witchcraft."

"أدور حولهم، سيفي مصوّب نحوهم. "هرمس المثلث العظمة. أوستانس الفارسي. أوليمبيودوروس الطيبي—" أتوقف، أشعر وكأنني أحمق. هؤلاء السحرة الأموات والأسماء السخيفة التي يطلقونها على أنفسهم. إنهم دائمًا ما يحاولون التفوق على بعضهم البعض. "أنتم الخمسة،" قلت بدلاً من ذلك. "بموجب سلطة الملك مالكولم ملك أنجليا، أُمرت بالقبض عليكم بتهمة ممارسة السحر."
