Pio found Child at the stern. There was one last thing she needed to share with her before they left.

She put her hand on Child's arm, and drew her closer for privacy.

'Should you carry out your intended plan, I would have you know two things: One is that there will come among the hobbits a young man in grey robes who will aid you as he can. He will call himself Ancalimon, and it would prove wise to listen to his counsel. Approach him freely with your concerns and questions and have no fear that he is a servant of Morgoth, that he might betray you. He serves only the Light.' She paused to make sure Child had understood what she said.

'Second, know that we will come for you, though the years seem long and hope seems dim. We will not abandon you.' She released Child's arm and stepped back and smiled at her.

She spoke her quiet good-byes to the rest of the crew remaining on the ship, and gave some last minute instructions to Veritas.

She passed Bird, standing at the railing, humming to herself. Leaning against the railing herself she spoke to her old friend. 'All angst aside, Bird, on both our parts, I want you to know that I know I can count on you, and you - well you know me - I got your back!'

Angara awaited on the waves, grown large enough to carry them all.

'Well, shall we go?' said Pio, pulling her cloak about her, and headed toward the boats.
