Sample text:

Do you really think he is the key to ending this war?” General Estrago asked. “He is just a boy. True, he possesses two rare gifts, but I do not see how they translate into victory on the battlefield.”

Director Tuskin flared his nostrils in annoyance. “Estrago, in all of my lifetimes he is the only other prime, besides myself, born with multiple gifts and without defects. Despite your benighted observations, his two rare gifts are the most important to our cause. Not even I am a puzzler or a vibrunt.”

General Estrago shifted his bulk to the left side and winced as a painful crack emanated from his lower back. The thick protruding scars on his face tightened as he clenched his jaw against the pain. The scars zig-zagged from his forehead, down his dark brown face, through his neatly-trimmed beard and crept down his neck like a spidergoose web, until they disappeared beneath the high brown collar of his uniform.

He had grown another three inches in the last year and stood over ten feet tall, but the pain was becoming unbearable. He wondered how much longer his body would hold out.  Few eidetics lived to his age—even fewer grew to his stature. General Estrago waited another moment for the shooting pain to dissipate before continuing.
