I can feel the ship sailing sure and smooth, steady and swift under Eärwen’s hand, a very nice mirror (only without the frantic & the fear) of their setting off. Very nice.

What’s this I see about ‘without the Slayer’? Could that aspect not come to Aman (plausible if unexpected); the Slayer was too badly wounded/defeated herself by Morgoth (wounded/drained I could see, actual defeat is more troublesome); Anariel Choosing Maia is somehow incompatible with also being/having the Slayer (very plausible now that it’s occurred to me); something else entirely?

I’m sure the answer will be interesting when you share it!
