Pio watched the larger ship come round and head back toward the coast line. She cried out to Mithadan and Ancalimon as they stepped from the stairway, onto the deck.

'They have turned!' She shaded her eyes and looked hard at the far shoreline. 'There is something burning on the coast there that draws them.' A great fear rose in her as she watched the distant scene play out. Where were the hobbits and Bird? Where was Angara?

'We are too far out! Bring us closer in!' she shouted to Veritas. The Star now moved more swiftly over the waves, though still it trailed far behind the other ship. She strained to see what was happening on the beach, but could not make it out.

'We cannot have come all this way to lose them now. That would be too cruel. We must find them, Mithadan, and quickly!'
