Child had searched up and down the ship for Frodo, but had not been able to find him. She was getting desperate to talk to someone, anyone, who might be able to explain what seemed to be happening to her and to others on the journey.

This had seemed to be such a fun thing to do when they had first stepped on board. Now, it seemed to be much more serious than she had ever thought. She could not imagine what the Valar would do when the ship docked and they were confronted not only with Elves but a considerable group of hobbits seemingly striken with longing for the West.

Child decided to leave a note for Frodo. She discovered he had been assigned to the same cabin that Legolas was in. She speedily wrote a note and tacked it onto their cabin door. It said in big letters:

FOR FRODO BAGGINS ONLY-- NOT TO BE OPENED BY NOSEY ELVES

On the inside, the note read:

Dear Cousin Frodo,

I am coming to you for some serious help. I know that I have sometimes played tricks on you and acted silly, but I am truly upset by what has been happening on this ship. And since you know a whole lot about Aman and Elves, you might be able to provide some information and insight.

First, what Legolas said was true, I am mainly Fallohide just like you are. But, believe me, I never heard of any Elves hiding in my family tree. They must be very far up the tree as I have never seen nor heard of them!

Why do I keep having dreams of sandy beaches and salty sea air? It is practically driving me crazy. I think Rose is having the same problem; apparently she also has some distant Elf ancestor. And tonight I clearly heard Angara communicating with me inside my own head.

This is not good!!!! I want to go home. I don't want to stay on some distant isle far from my friends.

Are you having similar problems? What about Sam?

I know one time you and Sam lived over the Sea and then decided to return to Middle-earth and the Barrow-downs. How did you persuade yourself to come home? Do you have any special words of advise so we can keep our heads on our shoulders and figure out a way to get home?

I am sorry to take up your time with this, but it does seem frightfully important.

Your Third Cousin Twice Removed,

Child a.k.a. sharon, the 7th age hobbit
