Yet...was it truly safety...
Arandil managed to traverse the woodland terrain for an hour before hearing more noises. It appeared something was trailing him...
-------------------------
The party was concealed beneath the trees and sheltered by the heavy rains.
"Let's camp up ahead. The horses cannot make it much farther in this weather." Ostopher told his apprentice-boy who yelled out the order. "HALT! DISMOUNT! CAMP AHEAD!"
Ha'zi did not hear the order as everything drowned out around him. His mind went blank and suddenly he felt himself floating, rising, ascending into the heavens above. He felt...
Turmoil.
Suddenly images flooded his mind.
Water. Rainfall. Storm clouds. Within them, a winged beast chased by great eagles. Above. Higher. Much higher. A world of darkness lit by stars. A ruined cottage. A broken chariot. Bodies. A protector. A mother. A child. Eonwe. Dead.
Dimitri. A large burning globe. Damaged bodies. Powerful spirits. Morgoth. The Trickster surrounded. Fire demons. Ainur. Combat. A flying ship. A Silmaril. A Mariner. And a three-headed dragon...
Ha'zi was overcome by overpowering emotions. Rage. Hate. Disdain. Pain. Grief. Pathos. He blacked out.
Daugo heard a thump as a thunderous crackling erupted in the skies. To his right, lay Ha'zi face-first in a puddle of mud.
--------------------
"ARA-AAAGGHHHHH!!!!!" Beren started screaming as a splash of lava hit him and began dissolving his legs. His entire body caught fire and Thoruk heard sickening cries as the ginger's skin began to melt.
Aranel looked from Norio to the ginger then at Thoruk with a look of horror. "Yo-you fool! What have you-" Her words were cut short as something massive went through the air, passing Thoruk, grabbing Aranel, flying through a couple of trees and vanishing in the undergrowth. Whatever it was he could not even begin to describe as everything had happened so quickly and Thoruk had no time to think as he was dropped once more. Heat sizzling his bottom as he descended into the pool of lava below.
------------------
Gwaihir and Landroval neared the target, their talons outstretched as they rushed in for a piercing blow. Then darkness returned and suddenly their target was no longer in their grasp.
"What?" Landroval cawed.
"The beast-" Gwaihir's neck twisted around in search for it as lightning flashed again. His eagle eyes widened as he saw it descend upon his convocation. He cawed loudly but it was too late.
The Flying beast caught an eagle in its grasp, its talons gripping its wings. Its own wings fluttered about, smacking and thrashing surrounding eagles out of the air. Iver felt their bodies smash, crack and slide off his rock-solid wings which sent strong blasts of air at the surrounding birds causing them to flounder and fall around him. The eagle in his grip let out a squeak of pain. Iver felt immensely powerful. This feeling...being unstoppable...it was beyond anything he could imagine. Nothing came close to it. He...he could take on the world. With Shiva...
"Meneldor!" Gwaihir screeched as his kin was seized by the beast.
The eagle Iver clutched squealed. It was so small. An insect...he could feel its pathetic body struggle against him. It was nothing to Iver. He...controlled life. And now it was the time to prove it to these feeble sons of bitches.
-----------------
Aule turned around. His eyes gleamed with the flames of forges. Dimitri felt an overwhelming power as the figure strode past him with a mere, "I humbly thank you."
He paused to glance at Telimekhtar and something came across Aule's features. Whether this was disappointment or sadness, Dimitri could not tell. "I will grant thee a single desire. Name it now or forever hold your peace, Forochelrim." Aule said without even turning to Dimitri.
Meanwhile, Undulog was struck by an icy shard which shattered upon her wing slowing her down for a brief moment. Kodya's arrow broke on impact with her other wing. Their weapons were ineffective against her. Daedoran's wooden protection rose and blocked the javelin that flew at Kodya. It penetrated through but its momentum was lost and it did not reach its target. Under Deadoran's wooden barricade, the Maia grouped together.
Now Undolog faced off against eight of them. Lungorthin barrelled into Mineltar and his scions shield-wall. Their spears broke and burnt as it cut through them, hitting Mineltar with the whip with such force that it flung the Captain into the broken cottage. Lungorthin's hammer smashed the Scion standing beside Arteiel before swinging it at him.
"It will be done, my Lady!" Six of her Maia vanished. Morgoth stood there for a moment. His face contorted and suddenly he began to laugh. A maddening hysterical laugh.
"You believe that you can face me? You forget sister. I am Melkor, King of the World, Master of the Fates of Arda. You are nothing to me."
------------------------------
What is this Uroloki?
It was the only thought that came to Earendil as he was thrown, gravity taking effect as Vingilote was spun around in the dragon's grasp. He released his blade and hastily took hold of the ship's mast as it crashed into the ether, breaking the floor and falling into the atmosphere, the dragon following down after it.
