One by one, Sauron executes the captives. When he sends a wolf to kill Beren, Felagund kills it with his bare hands but is mortally wounded. Luthien and Huan come to Beren’s aid. Sauron takes the form of a werewolf and battles Huan. Huan and Luthien gain the upperhand, and spare Sauron on the condition that he leave Tol Sirion. He flees to Taur-nu-Fuin. Beren decides to again take up his quest to take back the Silmarils alone.

"Farewell sweet earth and northern sky,
for ever blest, since here did lie
and here with lissom limbs did run
beneath the Moon, beneath the Sun,
Lúthien Tinúviel
more fair than mortal tongue can tell.
Though all to ruin fell the world
and were dissolved and backward hurled
unmade into the old abyss,
yet were its making good, for this-
the dusk, the dawn, the earth, the sea-
that Lúthien for a time should be."
