He'd been climbing for a long time now. He'd lost his left shoe a long way back. He hadn't noticed. He had just followed the worn path up, up, up, ever upwards, the countryside rolling far below him in gentle swelling hills.

On trudged Wormtail, ignoring the mist as it rolled over the mountain and surrounded him like a clammy diaphanous blanket.
He stumbled on, aching for his Master.
