It was evening when he reached the tiny mountain, and he was nearing the end of his energy reserves. The hills along the rocky base were varied, but not too difficult to traverse; and Anselm found his path weaving northward around the lower ridges. He caught sight of some wild goats at one point, for they loitered just out of reach upon one sheer side of the stonework; he watched them glumly, and passed on by. As the night darkened around him and became a great blackness, Anselm became one with it. He was a shadow among shadows, slowly making his way.
