Angara call down the steps for Daisy. The elves, Kali, and Levanto were set to plan for their departure tomorrow to Númenor.

Veritas had found Pio's mapcase with several different detailed thematic maps of the island. Of greater interest was the green journal in which Pio had noted her travels to various places during the Second Age. Númenor with its five distinct areas had captured her interest and she had written detailed descriptions of each area.

Of special note was the harbor of Eldalondë which she had drawn on one of the journal pages.It was a meticulously done street map, with many notes written to the side referencing where were the best places to buy certain wares, or to seek information.

Veritas laid these treasures out on the large table she had set up on deck, and once Daisy had arrived, they put together a preliminary plan for their trip.

They agreed that this was to be a quick, scouting expedition - one that would give them enough physical landmarks by which they could then plan the eventual rescue mission on paper.

Daisy excused herself after they had finalized thier plans and ran as quickly as she could down the stairs to Bird's room.

'Bird?' she whispered, as she entered the room. 'Are you still here?'

'Of course I am!' came the tart reply. 'You didn't expect me to fly off with all of you on deck did you?'

'There's a new wrinkle in your plan to fly back and forth to the camp.' said Daisy, and then filled Bird in on the plan to be gone at least three days to Second Age Númenor.

'I'll figure something out.' said Bird. 'Now go back up on deck and tell me when they've all gone back to their rooms for the night.'

Daisy ran back upstairs and scouted the deck. No one remained there, so she turned to go back to Bird's room to give the 'all clear', when she remembered to look to the top of the main mast for the dragon.

There was Angara, stretched out along the cross beam, and looking at her like a cat with a mouse fixed in its sights.

Daisy bounded down the stairs and rushed into the room, closing the door firmly behind her. She took a deep breath and said,
'It's all clear, Bird, except for one big problem. It's Angara, and I think she knows something is not quite right.'
