The sky was dark but every star shone out with a brightness that Astarielle had not seen since the time they had left the comfort of Rivendell. Astarielle started to sing for a reason she knew not. Her clear voice echoed around the camp, all were silent.
"A Elbereth Gilthoniel
silivren penna miriel
o menel aglar elenath!
Na-chaered palan-diriel
o galadhremmin ennorath,
Fanuilos, le linnathon
nef aear, si nef aearon!
Calm surcomed Astarielle, she fell for the first time into a sleep untroubled by dreams.
