Standing watch for the night, Thoronmir thought about what had occured earlier. They had managed to bluff their way past the King's Men this time, but they may not be so lucky again later. They had vaguely recognized him, Thoronmir knew, and the only thing that had saved them was the fact that they hadn't put all the pieces together yet. Sooner or later, they were going to be discovered.

He gazed at the lights of Ondosto off to the south, wondering if the people there had any idea of the catastrophe about to befall them. Numenor was great once, Thoronmir thought, but pride and ambition have corrupted the minds of many of the kings and is going to destroy Numenor, probably for good. If we could just be grateful for what we have instead of continually trying to grab for more power and wealth, this world would probably be a better place. I hope we can learn from our mistakes this time.

Thoronmir sighed and continued to watch for danger.
