Yeah, mine won't have to steal boats either, he can just teleport. I might be able to teach you wizardry, the Quendi learned it fine and some Maiar.

That would be really great.

...I might need a bit to decompress from how long I spent in my world before I'm any good to you there but I'll manage.

Don't worry about it.

Oh, hey, if you've only ever met Feanaro as a kid you've never heard Macalaure sing! I should fix that!

Who's that?

His second-eldest son and the best singer ever.

I'd love to hear.

She grins, and the sound of music fills the room.

Bella grins and squirms with happiness. I miss Quendi singing so much but he's really head and shoulders above 'random passerby singing to themselves'.

I know, right?

Are your Valar still - Valaring around, because they can block wizardry when they want to -

I have no idea. Not so that anyone would have a clue what you were talking about if you mentioned them, but they might be a complication in, like, rescuing people from Mandos.

Yeah. I don't know if it's even conceptually possible for a wizard spell to beat a Vala if the Vala's not cooperating.

I mean, my plan was not so much direct confrontation as in, grab souls, out before he notices, reembody on Earth.

Earth?

Modern name for Arda, or at least the parts of it that aren't Valinor.

Oh. Well, that might work.

Hopefully, yeah.

I don't think we introduced ourselves. I'm Bella.

Idaia. Idaia Zavari Lessnerai.

Isabella Mariel Swan, Bella elaborates.

That is a surprisingly Earth-normal name. Zavari isn't a middle name, in Kilaiuossa you get two surnames, one from each parent, I hyphenate 'em now.

Huh. I wonder why. Maybe Pax has a lot of the same phonemes as whatever you speak there. - We're going to have to talk in Quenya or by subtle arts until I pick up the language.

Conveniently, I speak Quenya!

Mine's rusty but it'll do!
