The witness grabbed the left arm hard, evinced a whelp from her captive single audience, then hissed almost whisper-purring, "This is no end of a whale tale, no I am here to tell thee ending, no mythic battle or seting-afire nuclear atmospheric warfare for epic pages. This is a war of the word."

In the distance tolled wedding bells proclaiming fresh fowl on sale. No one expected dragons bugling (dragons apparently bugle) at the curb outside the peculiar pub.
