But

I

have

an

errand

to

the

Lord

Denethor

that

will

not

wait

.

Take

command

in

the

Lord

's

absence

!

'

They

passed

on

;

and

as

they

climbed

and

drew

near

to

the

Citadel

they

felt

the

wind

blowing

in

their

faces

,

and

they

caught

the

glimmer

of

morning

far

away

,

a

light

growing

in

the

southern

sky

.

But

it

brought

little

hope

to

them

,

not

knowing

what

evil

lay

before

them

,

fearing

to

come

too

late

.

'

Darkness

is

passing

,

'

said

Gandalf

,

'

but

it

still

lies

heavy

on

this

City

.

At

the

gate

of

the

Citadel

they

found

no

guard

.

'

Then

Beregond

has

gone

,

'

said

Pippin

more

hopefully

.

They

turned

away

and

hastened

along

the

road

to

the

Closed

Door

.

It

stood

wide

open

,

and

the

porter

lay

before

it

.

He

was

slain

and

his

key

had

been

taken

.

'

Work

of

the

Enemy

!

'

said

Gandalf

.

'

Such

deeds

he

loves

:

friend

at

war

with

friend

;

loyalty

divided

in

confusion

of

hearts

.

'

Now

he

dismounted

and

bade

Shadowfax

return

to

his

stable

.

'

For

,

my

friend

,

'

he

said

,

'

you

and

I

should

have

ridden

to

the

fields

long

ago

,

but

other

matters

delay

me

.

Yet

come

swiftly

if

I

call

!

'

They

passed

the

Door

and

walked

on

down

the

steep

winding

road

.

Light

was

growing

,

and

the

tall

columns

and

carven

figures

beside

the

way

went

slowly

by

like

grey

ghosts

.

Suddenly

the

silence

was

broken

,

and

they

heard

below

them

cries

and

the

ringing

of

swords

:

such

sounds

as

had

not

been

heard

in

the

hallowed

places

since

the

building

of

the

City

.

At

last

they

came

to

Rath

Dínen

and

hastened

towards

the

House

of

the

Stewards

,

looming

in

the

twilight

under

its

great

dome

.

'

Stay

!

Stay

!

'

cried

Gandalf

,

springing

forward

to

the

stone

stair

before

the

door

.

'

Stay

this

madness

!

'

For

there

were

the

servants

of

Denethor

with

swords

and

torches

in

their

hands

;

but

alone

in

the

porch

upon

the

topmost

step

stood

Beregond

,

clad

in

the

black

and

silver

of

the

Guard

;

and

he

held

the

door

against

them

.

Two

of

them

had

already

fallen

to

his

sword

,

staining

the

hallows

with

their

blood

;

and

the

others

cursed

him

,

calling

him

outlaw

and

traitor

to

his

master

.

Even

as

Gandalf

and

Pippin

ran

forward

,

they

heard

from

within

the

house

of

the

dead

the

voice

of

Denethor

crying

:

'

Haste

,

haste

!

Do

as

I

have

bidden

!

Slay

me

this

renegade

!

Or

must

I

do

so

myself

?

'

Thereupon

the

door

which

Beregond

held

shut

with

his

left

hand

was

wrenched

open

,

and

there

behind

him

stood

the

Lord

of

the

City

,

tall

and

fell

;

a

light

like

flame

was

in

his

eyes

,

and

he

held

a

drawn

sword

.
