- There had been the first ride at terrible speed without a halt, and - then in the dawn he had seen a pale gleam of gold, and they had come - to the silent town and the great empty house on the hill. And hardly - had they reached its shelter when the winged shadow had passed over - once again, and men wilted with fear. But Gandalf had spoken soft - words to him, and he had slept in a corner, tired but uneasy, dimly - aware of comings and goings and of men talking and Gandalf giving - orders. And then again riding, riding in the night. This was the - second, no, the third night since he had looked in the Stone. And - with that hideous memory he woke fully, and shivered, and the noise - of the wind became filled with menacing voices. -
-- A light kindled in the sky, a blaze of yellow fire behind dark - barriers Pippin cowered back, afraid for a moment, wondering into - what dreadful country Gandalf was bearing him. He rubbed his eyes, - and then he saw that it was the moon rising above the eastern - shadows, now almost at the full. So the night was not yet old and - for hours the dark journey would go on. He stirred and spoke. -
-"Where are we, Gandalf?" he asked.
-- "In the realm of Gondor," the wizard answered. "The land of Anórien - is still passing by." -
-- There was a silence again for a while. Then, "What is that?" cried - Pippin suddenly, clutching at Gandalf"s cloak. "Look! Fire, red - fire! Are there dragons in this land? Look, there is another!" -
-- For answer Gandalf cried aloud to his horse. "On, Shadowfax! We must - hasten. Time is short. See! The beacons of Gondor are alight, - calling for aid. War is kindled. See, there is the fire on Amon Dîn, - and flame on Eilenach; and there they go speeding west: Nardol, - Erelas, Min-Rimmon, Calenhad, and the Halifirien on the borders of - Rohan." -
-- But Shadowfax paused in his stride, slowing to a walk, and then he - lifted up his head and neighed. And out of the darkness the - answering neigh of other horses came; and presently the thudding of - hoofs was heard, and three riders swept up and passed like flying - ghosts in the moon and vanished into the West. Then Shadowfax - gathered himself together and sprang away, and the night flowed over - him like a roaring wind. -
-- Pippin became drowsy again and paid little attention to Gandalf - telling him of the customs of Gondor, and how the Lord of the City - had beacons built on the tops of outlying hills along both borders - of the great range, and maintained posts at these points where fresh - horses were always in readiness to bear his errand-riders to Rohan - in the North, or to Belfalas in the South. "It is long since the - beacons of the North were lit," he said; "and in the ancient days of - Gondor they were not needed, for they had the Seven Stones." Pippin - stirred uneasily. -
-- "Sleep again, and do not be afraid!" said Gandalf. "For you are not - going like Frodo to Mordor, but to Minas Tirith, and there you will - be as safe as you can be anywhere in these days. If Gondor falls, or - the Ring is taken, then the Shire will be no refuge." -
-- "You do not comfort me," said Pippin, but nonetheless sleep crept - over him. The last thing that he remembered before he fell into deep - dream was a glimpse of high white peaks, glimmering like floating - isles above the clouds as they caught the light of the westering - moon. He wondered where Frodo was, and if he was already in Mordor, - or if he was dead; and he did not know that Frodo from far away - looked on that same moon as it set beyond Gondor ere the coming of - the day. -
