For Jonal:
Dawn came, with a red sun. It woke Jonal, and he was surprised to find both Sean and Björn awake, and saddling up the horses.
Björn dragged Jonal to his feet, and then fixed him to the horse in the same manner as the previous day. It seemed that they left nothing to chance.
They started riding as the sun totally cleared the mountaintops to the east of them. For several hours you see trees to the west, and the mountains to the east, and then you enter a forest towards the south. Presently Sean spoke.
"We're nearly there. Only a few minutes now."
His voice seemed to be strangely relieved as if completing his mission took a great weight off his shoulder.
