Ancalagon the Black, mightiest of the dragon host, strove against Eärendel. But in the late of night he was overcome, and Eärendel cast him down from the sky, where he fell upon the towers of Thangorodrim, and they were broken. Then did the sun rise and the host of the Valar prevail against the armies of Morgoth. Dragons were destroyed, the pits of Morgoth broken open, and the mighty Valar descended into the deeps of the earth to subdue Morgoth.

In this great fury of battle, the regions of the northern world were torn asunder and the sea poured in through wide chasms. Rivers were lost, hills plowed under, and valleys heaved up. The waters of the Great Sea flowed up and over the now broken lands of Beleriand.

The Lonely Star began to pitch and roll on the increasingly restless sea.

Veritas and Khelek attempted to stabilize the the ship, while Mithadan and Tulë lowered and secured the sails, and battened down the hatches. Daisy and Kali had been sent below in fear that they might be swept over the side in the swelling waves.

'The waves are becoming dangerous!' shouted Veritas to her companions now on deck with her. 'We may have to shift time soon or lose the ship.'

'We cannot leave our companions to fend for themselves!' cried Mithadan against the increasing roar of the water. 'We must wait until Angara returns with them!'

'We cannot wait long, or there will be no ship at all for them to return to.' said Khelek.

'Can none of you contact Angara and tell her she must hurry?' asked Mithadan in desperation.

'It is too far for my ability.' said Khelek. Veritas shook her head 'no' - 'Too far for mine, also.'

Tulë turned toward the direction in which the dragon had flown and focused his gaze across the endless, moving waters. 'I will call her.' he said, holding tight to the helm deck railing.

Angara! You must come back and quickly! The ship is in grave danger. If we do not leave this time soon, then we will sink beneath the seas!

We come! Do not leave us! came the reply.
