As she flew toward the Lonely Star, Angara called to Khelek and Veritas.

Elves! Come meet with me on the helm deck!

She dropped gently down on a stack of barrels, and waited for the the two. They found her pacing on the barrel head when they arrived.

She held conference with them and told them the instructions that Pio had given her.

'Should we not first focus on getting Child and Rose from Beleriand?' asked Khelek.

'We have some time for that.'answered the dragon. 'Time moves at a slower pace in Morgoth's dominion, and Child needs a certain amount of it to make her contacts and see to the other imprisoned hobbits. Besides, we have the infernal time crystal and it will be our choice when we do go for them.'

'I think Pio was right. None of us know much of Nùmenor, save possibly the Man, but he cannot help us now.' said Veritas, looking at the book of navigational maps she had brought out from the ledge beneath the wheel. 'Look at this old map of Nùmenor. We need to familiarize ourselves with the layout of the island, and determine how best we can get to the hobbits when they are imprisoned there, and how we can accomodate getting them all out before the island sinks.'

'Yes,' said Khelek, 'I can see both your points. We need to plan this venture out in more detail than our last one, to make it as safe as we can. We can ill afford to lose more of our companions.'

A brief silence fell on the group, broken by the dragon's question. 'What of Bird and Mithadan? How do they fare?'

'They suffered no wounds that we could find.' said Khelek, 'but they do not wake. And Mithadan has fearsome dreams, or so it seems, as he cries out in his sleep and is not comforted by our ministrations.'

'We have set Kali and Daisy to watch them for any changes and to call us if they wake.' added Veritas. 'Should we wait for them to come round before we begin our planning?'

'I think they will be long in healing,' replied Angara, 'and we cannot wait for that. When they do wake and have come back to themselves, then we will inform them of our plans.'

A small voice broke into their talk.

'It's Bird.' said Daisy, the dark smudges beneath her eyes revealing her fatigue. 'She's awake, and she's asked for you, Angara.'
