I think I want to hear the rest of your story, then find your enemy and see if he is evil as you claim. If he is I think I will aid you without direct fighting. One does not destroy mountains to win a war. I would also like you to speak aloud as you tell it, so I can learn your language. If you don't mind.

"Certainly. Before the Eldar first arose beside Cuivienen, the Valar and Moringotto had warred for the continent. They built things; he tore them down. They built meadows, and he drowned them in pools of lava; they raised continents, and he despoiled and sunk them. Eventually they retreated to Valinor, to build a paradise he could not touch, and there they designed their homes, and took job in them. Meanwhile we'd been born, and Moringotto delighted in taking us from our homes, torturing us, forcing us to bear him children which he could further twist towards his designs, and so he created the orcs, our kin who are twisted by their suffering and their desire to inflict it."

Do you have an understanding of genetics?

"No. The Eldar - command our body to take our desired form. The thing you describe is not how we function."

Then it is less strange that one could create a new species in such a short time. Thank you for explaining, please continue.

Eventually the Valar warred with Moringotto and the world shook and the Enemy was defeated, but his monstrosities still crawled these lands, and they invited us to come to Valinor with them and live in safety. Some of us took them up on the offer. When Moringotto was pardoned, three Ages later, he too lived in Valinor.

...And after he was pardoned he returned to commit the same offenses again. She's not even surprised. Just sort of cynical.

Eventually, yes. First he managed to destroy our people from the inside with a series of political intrigues.

Fates like me are discouraged from interfering in politics. With varying success. I do think our powers are lesser or at least less varied than Valar. Perhaps there are more of us. Certainly at least many hundreds, spread out across all the continents.

Why were you burning boats so recklessly?

The Valar are twelve, if one does not consider Moringotto among their number. We burned the boats to renounce the possibility of escaping and leaving this continent to Moringotto. We are committed to defeating him or dying trying.

She can't understand that kind of thinking. A rush of disappointment and dislike for someone comes forward in her mind as she realizes these people are more like that shortsighted, selfish Ysender than she thought. 

It seems a waste to destroy perfectly good craft. If you do not want them, I will gladly ferry them to someone who does.

He flinches. We have many enemies, and it might not be wise to put the ships in their hands. Can we take counsel and discuss the new developments?

The fact that he has many enemies, on top of nearly killing one of their own in the fire, is not encouraging.

But, Of course, I won't stop you.

They circle around for a discussion that apparently does not involve any talking at all, but which nonetheless gives off the impression of being quite heated. When it ends, it's a different one who approaches her. 

Hello, he says cautiously. It occurs to me that we ought to explain further the events that brought us to this point. This requires finishing the story that my brother began for you. After the Valar defeated Moringotto, the lands where they'd fought were uninhabitable and the whole continent was dangerous. They invited us to come to a new one they'd raised up, and we did.

She nods. Raising a new land to replace a war-torn one is not strange at all.

He smiles broadly, encouraged. Their land was also the only place with light - is the concept familiar to you?

I have never personally experienced that but the possibility is familiar.

She pushes how her world's suns, stars, and moons work. They are fixed in place, high, high above. It would be possible for the nearest sun to be so far away as to give too little light to be useful.

That does not match my understanding of this world's genography, but on that and many other topics we have been misled. Perhaps it is so. Anyhow, the Valar lit their new continent with two great Trees whose light was at its dimmest still bright enough to read by even at a distance of several thousand miles; one could not see the stars. We lived there and trusted in them.

No, I think my geography is entirely different from yours, even if some things seem familiar.

He nods. I regret that you are so far from your home, then. Can we be of aid in returning you to it?

I'm not sure. The obvious thing to try would be destroying this form and creating a new one. I am hesitant to try it, because this visit is unprecedented in several ways.

He nods. I see. In which ways unprecedented?

I did not appear in a place I might have called home, as usual. I have never encountered your kind of people until today. And I have never heard of anything even slightly like this land.

It's new to us also. You see, after many Ages in paradise, the Valar decided to release the Power they had warred with. He - hmm. We had a government, and he set to creating evidence that everyone in the government was scheming for the deaths of everyone else, until centuries-old bonds of trust had frayed and everyone was afraid. Then he murdered our King, and people refused to follow the King's designated successor because of the lies he'd spread, and he destroyed the land of paradise so it was barely habitable any more for our people, and he fled here.

We decided to come here, fight him, and find a new place to live.

It seems a worthy cause and a deserving enemy, to hear you tell it. But I cannot simply accept that without investigating myself.
