(Okay, I'm making my last post for the night.)

As they approached Dawnstar, from the sea side, Anneken could see Nightcaller Temple up on the heights. She pulled Brighid upright and yelled in her ear.

"Brighid!  Wake up!  Bergy!  Please!  You've got to get us in!"

Brighid moaned. "Annie it hurts so bad!"

"I know, Bergy.  I know!" Anneken's voice cracked as she fought back tears. "You've got to tell me where to go!  How do I find the Sanctuary?"

"East...end."

Anneken guided the horse East. She rounded the end of the small part of land that jutted out into the sea. There was the Black Door. She shuddered as she saw it.

"There it is!" She rode the horse right up to it.

"Say the words!"

"It won't let me in, Annie," moaned Brighid.

"Say them!"

Brighid spoke the password in a barely audible voice. To their amazement, the door creaked open. Anneken rode the horse in, pushing Brighid down on the horse's neck and bending forward herself to keep from cracking her head on the lintel. They were in. Anneken pulled Brighid off the horse and dragged her down through the moldering ruins, seeking a bed, a table, anything she could lay her sister on for what she knew was coming.
