"Hyarmenwë! Lord Hyarmenwë!"
The old Gondorian heard his name being called, and stumbled slightly in his flight. Elrogorn grabbed his arm, and hauled him back to his feet before he could even begin hitting the ground.
"Do not listen!" said Elrogorn in a hiss, "it is a siren!"
"Don't be ridiculous!" said Maika, "that sounded nothing like a police car or ambulance."
"No, it sounded like Angawen," said Hyarmenwë.
"The snotty lady Gondorian?" said Maika.
"The same," said Hyarmenwë with a half-frown. "Angawen!" he shouted into the ever-darkening graveyard, "is that you?"
"Lord Hyarmenwë," pressed Elrogorn, "we really shouldn't pause."
"Right," said Maika. "If we're going to go through with foolishly making for the gates, let's get it over with."
