Child stared about in disbelief. Things had become very confusing. She had a clear mental picture in her mind--every single soul from the Barrow-downs had been sucked into a vortex. Now this vortex did not look too good. It looked like something she had once read about.

Now, Child was still carrying her annotated copy of the Silm, and when she looked at that volume something in her mind woke up.

Oh, no, this can't be, she sobbed. This isn't the vortex, it's the void. THE VOID!!! Now, she had not been very attentive when she had read the Silm, and, to tell the truth, she hadn't understood a lot of it. (We don't have to tell that to anyone else!) But there was one thing she did remember.......

Someone else was in the void, and that someone was not a creature you would care to meet up with......MORGOTH, MELKOR, whatever.....She was so scared she couldn't even remember how to spell his name.

Child's brain began to click. There were many things she was not good at, but she was good at understanding stories. Think, Child, think. Why are we here? Maybe the red-haired Princess was just an agent of someone like Morgoth? Maybe the newbies were just a plant to get us here?

What would Morgath want with most of the posters? Probably absolutely nothing. But wait, there were one or two he might hold a grudge against. Oh, oh, Sauron was the chief assistant of Morgoth, right???? Now, admittedly, two villains like that would never completely get along but Morgath still might not be thrilled to have seen Sauron go up in smoke.

Oh, dear, I am afraid some of our posters are in big trouble--if your name is Legolas or Gimli or Galadriel, you'd better look out. And if your name is Frodo Baggins or Samwise, you are in even bigger trouble. And if you happen to be Primrose Gamgee, you may be in the biggest trouble of all. The easiest way to attack a father and an honorary uncle is through their little one.

Child felt sick to her stomach. But what happened to me? I'm not in the Void, so where am I? Child had no idea until she turned around and saw the strangest site she had ever seen. For striding up to her, with stars swirling and golden aura, was the figure of Elbereth.

Oh, no. I can't be here. Mortals aren't supposed to be here. I'm gonna die. Wait a minute, I'm already dead. Maybe that's why I can come here .......What am I going to say to her? Child faints dead away!!
