Elves took to sailing sky as readily as they did sea; with Vingilot as flag sky-ship, Earendil as first and foremost of the aetherial sailors, the new Art had as many Noldor as Teleri asking — clamoring! — to be involved in creating the ships, weaving sails that they might catch solar rather than terrestrial winds, inventing instruments for navigating the wide and sparsely marked sphere that reached up even to Varda’s Dome: whole new crafts, sciences, arts needed to advance the endeavor. And in working together to reach the stars the bloody rift between the two peoples finally began to heal.
(1) Comment by Lyra for Sky-Sailors
in working together to reach the stars the bloody rift between the two peoples finally began to heal. Awww yes! Also, I love the mental image of an Elven fleet of (literal) space-ships.
You really are on a roll, aren't you!
