Even though Equas had told Arandil that Dina was out in the forest, the man seemed adamant on searching her cabin for her. On his way there, he encountered some friends who waved and smiled like Emi and Penduilas, however, he noticed someone new in the village. A man speaking with Miriel. He looked like absolute shit and had ragged blonde hair as well as a facial scar hidden beneath his overgrown hair. He was taller than Arandil and quite muscular. Who was this newcomer?

Upon reaching the training field plateau, Thoruk bore witness to the glory of Erebor's seven dwarf clans. Weapons of destruction on scales he had never thought possible stood before him. He couldn't even guess what they could do.
Dozens of dwarves operated moveable siege craft, a motor-driven mobile iron suit, a twirling blade-copter, and all other kinds of equipment.
"Some are still in development but we've managed to create dragon-breakers, iron-hammerers, and steel-ships to fight the Enemy and defeat them. Moorgooth will never see this coming." King Thorin III Stonehelm proclaimed.

Iver found himself walking the vast upper corridors of the Trickster's Mansion. He heard voices down a set of stairs. It was the flamboyant flair of the Orome combined with some muffled grunts and a soft voice's agreement.

Dimitri's mind was filled with Manwe's glorious plan. A plan that was set in the making for eons. He saw the millions upon millions of warriors stacked in lines ready to deploy. Vanyar, Noldor and so on, led by the High Kings of the Eldar. Their ships stretching across the horizon ready for the voyage into the east. He saw the vast quantities of Ainur dressed for battle. The thousands of Eternal Guard and the Sentinels of Manwe surrounding a grand capital ship that floated through the skies. It was gargantuan, larger than both the Behemoth and Leviathan combined. He saw the purity of Manwe's legions. Their unbreakable resolve. Their immense strength. This was a force prepared since the War of Wrath, a force that none, not even Tulkas Astaldo could challenge. The sheer quantities of soldiers alone would be enough to overwhelm Morgoth's largest armies tenfold times over.
And suddenly, he saw his place in this plan. His mind was unlocked by the light of Manwe. And all became so much clearer...

Galador walked into a dead-end around the next corner. However, there was a small entrance, not large enough for him to fit through but definitely for the hobbit. It was one of those old sewage holes that had yet to be bricked over.
Meanwhile in the streets, Ha'zi was left unconscious on the floor just in front of Mirecyla's collapsed giant. Citizens fled in every direction from the beast and Mirecyla felt her wounds steam and heal. Even was dazed but he too had mostly healed from the injuries and he glanced at the scene. "This is exactly what I wanted to avoid..." His voice was drowned out by the shrieks of children and women.
"Mirecy!" Endo cried, alerting Mirecyla to her flank. Out of the crowd, two of those bloody rangers ran at her and cut through her legs, separating them from her body below the kneecaps.
"For the arms now!" Keratos yelled over to Furdin as they cleaved through the Terror Giant.
Mirecyla was unable to move her arms as they were still healing from Ha'zi's speedy assault. And her fear...it was faltering. She was out of energy. This was it. Here and now. It was do or die. And she was unable to do anything else...unless...
Evenis slowly stood up on her rear deltoid and glanced back at Mirecyla. "Take Endo and run. Try and lay low, Mirecy." He said to her just above the roar of the crowd.
Then, her mind went blank. A single command hit them all. BE SILENT.
Furdin and Keratos halted their attack, Daugo and Galador were frozen; Evenis, Endo and Mirecy were stuck in place; Shin and Mateus were stunned in place as they weaved through the crowd which too halted; even, Tamara, the shadow, who had hidden in the turmoil beneath the Executioner's right arm was unable to move whether this was out of fear, Sigeric's telepathy or her own resolve, it was unknown.. Everyone froze. It was as if a still piece of art were drawn.
Ostopher's mouth was open wide mid-order as he shouted at Rambo and the rest of his rangers who were dissolving the crowd near the third level gate of Minas Tirith. All civilians, soldiers, incumbents, invaders, prisoners, everyone in a hundred-meter radius from peaceful citizens hiding in the basement of their house to reinforcements closing in on the Executioner Giant were frozen in place. All except two individuals.
The first being Sigeric, who had a woman's foot pressing deeply into his stomach and numerous bruises and cuts from being trampled by the fleeing crowd. And the second...
"M-m-m-mer-see-" Berethor grunted as he fought his way past the horde. He pushed Shin, the man fell and his crossbow crashed over the floor. Then he shoved through Mateus, sending the ranger cluttering onto a six-year-old boy who had fallen in a puddle of tears. His entire body shook and his left nose began to bleed but he continued to move forward towards the Executioner.
