    Summary

    When I was but a child in the reckoning of men and elves, my father took me with him to the beach to catch lightning bugs for the sea lanterns. I remember a single glowing bug, fluttering all alone in the glass case of a silver lantern much too big for it, and have ever felt a kinship with it.

    I am no longer the sailor lighting the way for my boat on a cloudy night. I am the lightning bug trapped inside a lantern, shining alone.

    …this is not my Vingilot.

    Eärendil takes Vingilot into the Timeless Void on his nightly journey, like always. He is careful, like always, to steer clear of the things he knows lurk in the deep darkness of that endless place. He is not careful enough, and when he returns at dawn he finds himself on a ship from another world that resembles his own only in name.
