Dawn's rosy fingers crept over the surface of the sea, slowly and then more quickly, light driving the last of darkness from the face of the water.

Angara rose up from her seat beside Pio and stretched herself from snout to tail tip.

What more will you tell them, Elf?

All but what I have promised be kept secret until he reveals it to them

Foolish old meddler! How can he know how it will work out? It could be as well for ill as it is for good!

Pio laughed. You have grown so contrary with the years, my friend! Don't forget that he works under the guidance of one greater, one who loves this part of Arda and the creatures within it.

Kali had come up to greet the dawn, and now quietly drew near the elf and dragon.

Pio smiled and drew him into the circle of her arms, seating him close against her, that they might watch the sunrise together.

'Another beautiful day has come, Pio.' he said as the waves turned from red to golden.

'Indeed!'

They watched in quiet companionship for a while, then, in a small voice, he asked her, 'It isn't just to find your mother that brings you here, is it, Pio?'

'No, little one, no, it isn't'
