'Get them below!' shouted Khelek, carrying Rose down the stairs. The ship pitched dangerously, nearly throwing her from his grip.

Tulë grabbed Child and Bird and rushed them down below. They were met by Kali and Daisy, who quickly wrapped them in warm blankets.

The elf ran back to collect the dragon, lying dazed on the deck. He gathered her in his arms and took her down to the companions below.

'Where are Veritas and Mithadan?' asked Khelek. 'Still above.' replied the elf. 'I will see to them. You stay here and keep the others safe.'

Taking the stairs two at a time, Tulë raced to where Mithadan and Veritas stood at the helm. Veritas had the crystal case open and had moved the crystal to a new position.

'Where are you taking us?' asked the elf.

'To the Fourth Age.' said the man. 'We will be safe and unnoticed in those waters until we have all recovered and are ready to proceed.'

'Stay your hand for a moment, then Veritas. Mithadan, help me get Levanto aboard before we shift times.'

Tulë called the mer-man to the side of the ship, and they hauled him up as quickly as possible by rope.

A monstrous wave washed over the ship, as the three of them clung frantically to the railing.

Then time suspended itself for a brief moment, and the ship came to rest in the calm waters of the Fourth Age.
