Angara, are you there?!

Of course, I'm here, you half-witted half-elf! Where else would I be? Hemmed in by bossy eagles, all with a suspicious eye on yours truly!

A little testy are we, dragon? What about me - balrogs, orcs, and wicked wyrms on my plate tomorrow. I should be the one whining!

Hmmmph!! At least you will have the opportunity to strike a few blows, not sit here like some impotent two bit player waiting for word of what goes on.

Speaking of what goes on, Angara - you will probably not be too happy with this new plan of Child's. Or did she tell you of it?

Plan?! Spit it out, elf! What is it?

Pio filled Angara in as best she could about Child's plan to stay with the Gondolin hobbits, Mithadan's counter plan, and the possible plan to bring back some of the hobbit women and children. Angara was silent for a few moments, though the elf could feel anger humming like an electric current as the dragon considered these revelation.

The Man's plan is too risky. As much as Bird annoys me at times, I would not see her dead. And what will we do with a boat load of frightened hobbits? We have nowhere to put them! Child's plan I knew about, but I see now there are so many places it might go wrong. I should be down there, overseeing these plans!

Pio felt the resolution to action rise in Angara's thoughts, and then a loudly muttered, '. . .damnable eagles!' ripped through her mind as the action was denied.

Angara, there is still more we need to discuss. You must be ready tomorrow night to fly us out of here as soon as the eagles have retrieved us. It will be Mithadan, myself, Rose, and Bird who will return. Child is resolved upon her plan, and she will not be dissuaded.

I will be ready, Elf. See that you get the others back safely.

One last thing dragon, and I ask this as a favor for myself, please relay these instructions to Daisy and Veritas should I find myself unable to do so.

Pio gave Angara a long list of intructions, then asked her to please repeat them as it was very important they be given clearly and fully to the intended persons. When she had finished repeating them, the dragon asked -

What could possibly keep you from delivering these yourself?

Morgoth, dear Angara, and his bloody battle!

For the rest of the night she sat in silence,lightly fingering the pendant on the chain round her neck, and watched the stars slowly move in their courses, 'til red-tinged dawn obliterated them.
