Uien was seated next to Falowik. Eodwine's story had brought the memory back to her in all its painful horror. She had not been there in body, but in spirit. It was an evil memory, and the death of Lira made it more poignant. She pressed Falowik's hand and their eyes met. His looked into hers with relief and happiness. She smiled.

Out of the corner of her eye she saw someone approaching from the kitchen. It was Zimzi, who made her way through the crowd and came to Uien. Uien greeted her and made room next to her for Zimzi to sit down. Zimzi sat next to her and smiled, but there was the shadow of a haunting in her eyes.

"Are you well, Zimzi?"

"Yes," she nodded. But when she met Uien's eyes, her face changed and the fear was writ there for Uien. "Master Eodwine spoke of an evil Maiar still lurking in the north. Is it so?"

"My fëa was there, Zimzi." Uien held her eyes. "With the eyes of my fëa I saw that Maiar take the Dark Lord's former servant into itself, then fade into the east. It left us. I know not where it went."
