Veritas! We are returning. Put the small boat in the water. We will be there soon.

The tired 'voice' of the dragon whispered in the elf's mind. 'Something is wrong!', she thought to herself. She turned to the others on deck and gave orders to lower the boat. She would row out and retrieve the companions from Angara.

'Are they alright? Did Angara say?' asked Daisy. Kali stood close by her, but asked no questions, and a great fear was in his eyes.

'She did not say, little one,' said Veritas, as she climbed into the boat, 'only that they will be here soon.'

The elf rowed the boat across the now dawn reddened water, and positioned it well away from the ship. Her eyes strained at the sky, willing all of them to return.

Khelek was the first to see them. His voice boomed out across the water.

'They come!'
