Once Mithadan had finished laughing, he stowed the gear from the skiff and sat on a barrel to relax in the bright sun. He looked curiously at Tule as the Elf playfully assisted Child in rousing Bird.

The last message he had received from Tule just prior to the shift had been odd. Perhaps it had been the tension of the test, but it had "sounded"...different, if "sounded" was the right term. It had not sounded like Tule.

He had accepted the Elf as a friend and ally with little hesitation. Indeed, Ancalimon had vouched for him. There was no reason for suspicion, but the niggling doubt remained. But now, there was little time for concern. Much planning was left to be done. It was one thing to shift the Star and three small boats and quite another to shift an armada of 20 Elven ships each laden with a cargo of 50 Hobbits plus crew. He would certainly need practice in Osanwe...
