The Numenoreans at the shores looked into the sea as they had done for so many year; but this time they saw what they had hoped for a Numenoreans ship approaching the shores.
They were prepared for this moment, and picked up their belongings and homemade boats and ran towards the shore. Quickly they rowed into the sea and towards the ship.
The sailors on the ship helped them onboard.
One of the saved Numenoreans said; "For years we have waited for this moment, we had hope the king would have send an army to revenge our defeat, but all help is welcomed."
The captain of the ship from Forostar said; "We were more, but we lost contact to the other ships due to the weather and when we came here again the other ships were lost! Now we can do no more than to save you and sail for Umbar.
Many miles north, the survivors from the Andustar ship had settled on an island in the Anduin delta. There were many of these in the low waters. They survived by fishing and hunting seabirds, and hoped to be discovered by another Numenoreans ship.
One day Valandur and a few of the companions were fishing when they saw three strange bird-like creatures approaching from the south.
At first, they looked like crows, but soon it became evident that they were much larger.
The Numenoreans followed them with their eyes. As the creatures came closed they also notice a person sitting at their back. At this point, they realize the size of the birds.
"Hide!" Valandur shouted. However on the low island there were not many places to hide, and the Numenoreans started to run instead.
The Nazgul dived towards them. Valandur quickly realized that his men would not be able to outrun the attackers. He change direction and ran for the sea, shouting to get the attention of the Nazgul.
He ran towards the place where their ship had wrecked almost a year ago.
The creature closest to him stretched its claws to pick up Valandur, but he managed to dive into the ocean just before.
Valandur swam towards the bottom. He looked up a saw a huge bird circling the surface. Then he saw Narsil standing in the sand under water. He swam towards the sword and took it.
He made it to the surface and waded ashore. The Nazgul gathered in the air and prepared to attack him. Valandur raised the Narsil against them. It glowed clearly.
Murazor noticed the sword and it similarity to Aranruth. Still he prepared to attack.
However as the Nazgul flew towards Valandur a sharp light appeared behind him. The light blinded the Nazgul and they feared the light. They turned around and fled.
The sailors of Andunie returned to Valandur and greeted him when the saw Narsil. "Now we are saved," one of them said, "this sword will protect us all!"
"Not the sword!" Valandur said and turned around to see where the light came from. From the water Galadriel came ashore.
"Greetings to the sea people!" She said.
Valandur fell on his knees and so did the rest of the sailors around him.
"Our savior, who are you?" Valandil asked.
Galadriel walked to him and made him stand up. "I have been send here to help the Edain against their enemy."
She followed Valandur and the other sailors to the rest of their people.
She said; "I will show you a place where you will not be seen from neither the sea or the eastern shore of the river."
The Numenoreans followed Galadriel to the place where the Sirith River flew into Anduin. At the northern bank large trees stood and their branches and leaves covered most of the river. The Great River, Anduin to the east was very wide and low watered, and filled with small island and rocks. It would be very difficult for a large ship to navigate to this place.
"Your enemy will not notice you here from the other bank of Anduin;" Galadriel said, "Nor will you be spotted from the great sea. The way thought the delta is dangerous and only you will know the way here. You can gather your ships here without fearing being attacked."
Valandur said; "We thanks you, my lady. We need to get information about our destiny back to our people. Where are you home and do you have ships?"
Galadriel said; "My home is not far from here. I will protect and guard you. We have ships yes but they are too small to save you all. You should ask the shipwright in Lindon for spare ships."
Valandur ordered his people to build a city exactly where Galadriel had told them they could live in peace.
"This will be our home in Middle Earth. We will built a ship to return to Numenor and tell our loved ones we are saves, and in time, we will all be able to return should we desire to. I ask only this of you that you do not disclose this city's location to any of the King's men.
The ship from Orrostar made it to Umbar, only to understand that Telemmaites ship, also had survived. However already had sat sail heading back to Numenor.
