The exhaustion hit the knights who had to stay up all night the hardest about halfway through their half-a-day-long journey.

During multiple moments, Henry could feel his eyes get heavy and he would shake his head or look at the sun to try and wake himself up.
When he had lost all hope that he was going to be able to stay awake, he pulled open one of his saddle bags and rummaged around inside of it.
His fingers met something hard and, in a moment of weakness, he decided to pull the stone out of the saddlebag so he could look at it once more.
