Nervousity ruled this day in Númenor, so much that many of its remaining inhabitants fell silent almost the whole time. Long Lalaith warned them all not to be hasty with their judgements, but to little avail.

“Whatever!” it was responded “Let’s just kill Hoobill!”

Quickly and with little thought the Númenoreans grabbed Hookbill, who was too shocked to utter a word.

Lalaith and Kitanna took his legs, Mithalwen and Durelin his arms, but the Legate of Amon Lanc took his head. On his command they all pulled and tore his body to parts.

“That’s it!” Mithalwen cheered “Another Faithful lynched! We’re on a good way!”

But the Legate of Amon Lanc smiled: “I would not be so sure about this.” and Durelin joined in the laughter.

~ Among the Exiles many believed that the summit of the Meneltarma, the Pillar of Heaven, was not drowned for ever, but rose again above the waves, a lonely island lost in the great waters; for it had been a hallowed place, and even in the days of Sauron none had defiled it. ~

~ Thus it was that great mariners among them would still search the empty seas, hoping to come upon the Isle of Meneltarma, and there to see a vision of things that were. ~

But the visions that they saw were different from what they expected. Rotting huts lined the beaches and rotting bodies lay all about the island, some of them gruesomely mauled. On the very peak there was a corpse ripped into five pieces. Around it three more lay, each hacked and stabbed in unspeakable ways, as if killed in one unholy frenzy of bloodthirstiness. Just like their stomaches, the mariners were about to turn, but there they saw two more dead bodies, haggard like succumbed to long hunger and thirst. Next to them, only two words were written into the dirt:

“We won!”

In terror the mariners fled from the island. Without looking back once they sailed back to their Lands of Exile. When asked what they had seen on their long travels and whether the Isle of Meneltarma still rose upon the waves, they recalled what they sought to forget, and all they said was: “All roads are now bent”, so that noone should ever venture again to that horrid place.
