The catamaran was there, and then the air around it had shimmered just slightly and it had winked out of existence in an instant.

This is the description Celeaewen had given once she'd descended from her perch on the Lonely Star's top mast.

'Then they are on their way back to the Downs!' said Rose. 'It worked!'

'Where were we going to pick up Pio?' asked Bird.

At this moment, Veritas came back up on deck with Angara who had recovered much of her former color, and seemed in a better mood.

Noting the companions all standing about, near the rear of the ship which now faced toward the mouths of the Great River, and which seemed to have moved farther out to sea, Veritas looked about in surprise. She had been so focused on cajoling Angara that she was unaware of what had happened.

Thinking everything alright, she announced with a cheerful tone: 'If you're ready, Angara will tell us her riddle now.'
