Círdan dropped another report before Gil-galad, more despair than hope, but that spark was one he still clung to.

“A band of Men was seen to the south.  Survivors of Sirion, perhaps.  They fled before our ships could make landfall.”

Gil-galad clenched one hand into a fist, resisting the urge to hit something.  However, his reply was interrupted by a commotion from without.  They took to the balcony to look down on a murmuring crowd pointing at the sky.
