Idril! You are leaving? Will you not stay to aid us?
My part is done for now, Pio.
Then who will take them safely, by the secret way.
You must do this now. They will look to you.
Will I not see you again?
In time, perhaps. Namárië!
'Namárië.' she whispered, standing in the shadows, and watched the craft speed down the river and disappear.
One tear rolled down her cheek and was wiped quickly away.
She felt a small hand creep into hers, and looked down to see Kali looking up at her.
'I know.' he said patting her hand gently. 'When family goes, much sadness comes.'
