Hannah spurs her horse through the darkened forest, following a faint trail between the dense thickets of trees. The thoroughbred horse is sure-footed and seems to know the way.
"Faster! Blaze! Faster!" Hannah leans into his neck and shakes the reins loose and gives her stead his head. She is an expert rider and has no difficulty in holding her seat. Blaze snorts with excitement as he feels the reins loosen and he redoubles his efforts. Hannah laughs as his silken mane streams behind him and caresses her cheek.
His powerful legs cover the ground quickly. After a time the trees begin to thin out a little and the indistinct path widens as it joins a rutted roadway. Blaze does not even break step as he turns onto the rough road, his tail whipping in the air as he gallops along.
Hannah urges the horse up a steep incline and as they crest the top of the hill, she pauses briefly as she catches sight of the distant lights of a tall narrow tower silhouetted against a full moon. The tower is perched on top of a high granite bluff and pierces the sky like stiletto.
Twenty minutes later she and her horse are toiling up a narrow road cut into a rock face. It leads towards the imposing pinnacle set back from the edge of the cliff. The walls glisten in the silver glow of the moon.
The road ends on a wide flat area at the foot of the tower. Hannah dismounts and strides towards a huge door flanked by burning torches set into large wrought iron sconces in the wall.
