Example of text:
1 Leandra
Im Osten braute sich ein Gewitter zusammen. Schwer hingen die dunklen Wolken zwischen den riesigen Felspfeilern, die im Vordergrund des Westakranischen Gebirges aufragten. Die Ränder der Wolken hatten sich gelbweiß verfärbt, Blitze zuckten in ihrem Inneren umher – wie eine nachdrückliche Warnung, Leandra solle sich rasch einen Unterschlupf suchen. Sie runzelte die Stirn.
