"Its a logistical nightmare," groaned Mithadan as he scribbled on a paper with a pen from Child's pack. "If we assume that Angara can carry 20 Hobbits per trip, and that may not be correct, then it will take 50 flights to evacuate 1000 Hobbits. And what if there are 1200 or 1500?"

He rubbed his eyes wearily. The afternoon of straining to make out the details of the city had given him a headache. "On top of that, the Lonely Star will not hold more than perhaps a 100 Hobbits plus its crew, and that may be stretching matters. That's 10 trips to transport them to...wherever we're taking them. We have not thought this through at all."

"I wish we had another dragon," mused Child.

At that moment, Bird alighted on the windowsill and cocked her head at the two. Mithadan looked at the shapechanger and his eyes narrowed. "...'another dragon'," he whispered.
