Beka is not sure what she was expecting as a result of walking into a snake monster but an Elf city would have been very low on a list of possibilities if someone had jumbled a lot of random words together into place-phrases and had her rank them. "Elf city" would probably have been under "spider void" and above "grape juice ocean". And yet here she is.
They do not match my impression of his thing but I don't really understand the kind of being that would make a world like this.
I was more concerned with the war. I don't trust the Valar on how Eru making the world went, we'd just be comparing lies.
Noldor showed up and there was a big fight and tons of orcs died and we fell back to Angband. They charged in and the king died. Now there is less fighting for the time being.
It was a big deal; it just didn't happen like that. He wasn't that reckless, either.
She can't really think of any purposes that are served by quite this much elaborate lying to the orc population. Doesn't his lordship have enough to do confusing the fuck out of the prisoners he's torturing.
Yeah. I don't know. Maybe he, like, instantiates multiple timelines to figure out which ones he likes best, or something?
Yep. And I'm not very happy about being a timeline he liked better than the one where Maitimo gets captured. I don't know if it's that. Just that it could be that.
Yup. His hand moves towards the nape of her neck - does that hurt, it looks like it'd hurt terribly -
Kinda prickles! I don't like it at all less than an inch but I think I've got at least an inch everywhere now.
Then I should enjoy it while I have it. Ruffle. But gently; he's sticking to places that are definitely well more than an inch.
