The Battle of the Water (part of the First War) occurred when Melkor sent his aquatic forces to disrupt Ulmo's plans. Here Ossë led Melkor's forces against Ulmo's forces. Melkor hated and feared water, but nonetheless took part in this battle with the aquatic forces as well. Nienna on her black ship Mornië came to the aid of Ulmo. It was at this battle that Ossë finally saw his folly and was saved by Uinen. Ossë switched sides in the middle of the battle against Melkor, causing the Great Enemy to flee and abandon his attack against Ulmo.
