Breathing some relief as the Lord of the Teleri departed from his home, Estelin thought about the dragon. Its behaviour seemed to suggest it was fleeing from something, but apparently Dometis never told Olwe anything of the kind. This information would surely interest his sister. He decides to contact his sister again, hoping he would reach her this time.
He goes to his door. He could see Nole some distance off, seeing to the rigging on one of the swanships in the harbour. Olwe was slowly receding into the distant palace. The disguised Vala did not see Elenwe or any other inhabitant of Alqualonde close at hand. Closing the door to his home and retreating to a dark corner of his home, he blocks out the mortal world.
Tapping into the interethereal medium used to propagate telepathic waves, the Lord of Dreams sends the signal to his sister, trying to find her mind amidst the chaos of emotions and vibes of Creation, seeking out the one he desires. Emotions, feelings and ethereal spirits flash by as shapeless forms of smoke before he finally finds her.
But even as he conveys his greeting, he finds himself blocked. Just as before. No response and no reply. He could sense her telepathic mind, but she refuses to interact with him. He waits for some time hoping she would see her brother there.
A honking noise shook him back to reality. Rushing around the corner to the source of the noise, he saw a large swan on the back terrace of his home. It was undoubtedly Maisy, whom Nole had introduced to him once before.
The empty sea stretched just beyond the terrace. He is alone, with uncertain times ahead. He dared not leave Alqualonde to avoid further suspicion. He needs someone he could talk to. Of course! The sea reminded him of Ulmo, Lord of the Waters. He sends a mental message of urgency, and the desire to speak with him, the one who taught the Lord of Dreams about bodily functions and blending in long ago, along with his sister.
