[Veritas]

It seemed that the Hobbits didn't need any protection, so Veritas was a bit bored.
She walked to the upper deck and looked out over the sea and sniffed the sea air. Wonderful.

Her mind was ful of thoughts, she was worried about the end of this adventure. She had been scared with Morgoth, but in a way, it was fun. This was different, it looked like more was in the game. She sighed and wanted to walk away, but when she turned around, she saw in the cormer of her eye someting. With a jump she was by the ceiling again. She saw a bird in the sky, praying above the ship. Then suddenly the bird dived to the ship and landed on the deck. It was a hawk, a small one. Veritas walked towards him and the bird hopped on her arm.

"What are you doing here? On full sea? Aren't you far from home?" She caressed the bird over his head. He looked at her, and their eyes crossed. Then the hawk flew away. Veritas gazed at him for a long while, why couldn't she just fly away, back home...

She felt strange after this adventure, could it be that the bird was from the Blue Wizards, or from the Valar. Maybe Manwë had send him. Veritas felt confused and went to the Hobbit cabins to think for a while.
