Oh, cool. Congrats/thank you.

We cannot afford to lose you again.

Permalink

We're only physically eighteen; you had time.

Tyelcormo might be annoyed with me if I only managed to arrest Idaia's aging at ninety. Then again, I am not sure he'd notice at all.

Permalink

Well, she'd probably notice. Being old is generally not fun. I take your point.

They extract a two-ton chunk of rock. They ask Imliss to use her tracker to make sure they've extracted the right chunk of rock.

Permalink

It is the right chunk of rock!

Permalink

And so now they can just crack it open.

 

It takes several hours. It's unbearably loud, but the girls can make headphones and Maglor can hum something that muffles the sound.

 

And then the rock cracks open and the Silmaril lights all of their faces and ripples as if to say 'hello! hello! it's been so long!'

Imliss feels a complicated mixture of joy, relief, pride, and frustration that seriously, she was dead for thirty thousand years and the last time they really had this thing was before she died, fuck you very much Valar.

Permalink

Idaia is mostly just excstatic.

Permalink

Yeah.

 

"You three should maybe stay back, the Silmaril Lúthien and Beren stole made them both age very quickly, and that might have just been because they were thieves but..."

Permalink

"Noted," Idaia says, and maneuvers so she's mostly got her husband between her and the rock but can still look over his shoulder.

Permalink

And they put on insulated gloves and take the Silmaril out and Amrod and Amras stop being transparent - though Amras is glowing as if half-made of Silmaril - and everyone sighs in relief and then they agree they should take it back to Canada before anything goes wrong.

Permalink

"Is that supposed to happen?" Imliss asks of Amras.

Permalink

"This whole situation is pretty thoroughly without precedent," he says.

Permalink

"True. Is it uncomfortable or anything?"

Permalink

"Nah, feels great." He is making her hair stand up off her head.

Permalink

She giggles. "That's so cool."

Permalink

He smiles. "I should probably figure out if I can do anything with it."

Permalink

"If you get magnetism powers I am so jealous."

Permalink

"I can make iron sand and paperclps cling to me, does that count?"

Permalink

"For jealousy purposes it doesn't count if you can't control it."

Permalink

"Why would that in particular make you jealous?"

Permalink

"Magnetism powers? ...I dunno. Just feels right."

Permalink

"Huh." He tries affecting the static-electricity aura. It feels like it jumps a little.
