The next morning was as peaceful as any other. Lindethiel awoke, momentarily unaware of her surroundings. She realized where she was when she felt Miriel next to her.

Gently lifting her, Lindethiel couldn't suppress a smile at the small elfling. Miriel laughed, filling the room with joy.

A small noise was heard from the other end of the room. Lindethiel looked to see Vanya, who had stayed there overnight, stirring.

"Morning Lindy" she said groggily. She rose, sitting on the edge of Lindethiel's bed.

Gently, Lindethiel placed Miriel in Vanya's hands. Vanya also smiled, and Miriel smiled back.

"Look at her!" she exclaimed when she saw the smile, impressed.

Vanya's own smile faded as she remembered the current situation. "Do you think she knows?" she asked.

Lindethiel shook her head. "She's too young. I don't know exactly how old she is, but she can't be more than a year." Vanya nodded her agreement, and a silence came about the room.

"I might know someone who can help" It took Vanya a minute to realize the voice was her own.

"You do? Who?" Lindethiel asked.

Vanya continued. "She used to work with Elrond, as an astronomer. Maybe you know her? She goes by the name Moon"

"Never heard of her" said Lindethiel.

"Few people have" replied Vanya. "No one really knows where she is now-except for me."

Lindethiel stared at her in shock."Really?"

Vanya nodded, and said, "I'll see if I can get in touch with her. She might know where Miriel comes from."

"Good luck" Lindethiel called as Vanya walked out. She turned back to Miriel, and began to do what she did best these days-wait.
