Sauron's getting better, or at least didn't care for him to have access to any memories where he was this good. 

I promise, I'd rather die than touch you - no - "how long were you with Master Huo?"

"About ten years. It was Master Yu who found me, he joined her a little later."

"So that's - I'm sorry, I'm not very familiar with human ageing - since you were pretty young?"

Permalink

"I was five or six, I think."

"I see. In the parts of the world that the Enemy doesn't control, that kind of treatment of others is not permitted. We would arrest the people who did it to you if they were here and alive."

Permalink

"Um, thank you."

"If you don't care to ever do magic again, you don't need to. We can find you a tutor and you can find a job you like once you've recovered. And if I ever figure out how to make magic go away I'll tell you."

"- I don't want to chop it off, it's, um, it's attached, just..."

"You can also keep it and never use it again, that's fine. I want mine gone because I am not accustomed to it and -" shiver.

"You didn't have it before you died?"

Permalink

"That's weird."

Permalink

"Is the rest of your body how you remember it?"

Permalink

"I don't have a very good memory, but nothing is notably off."

Permalink

"Huh."

He can think of an explanation, but he doesn't expect this character to volunteer it. "Did my brother get the chance to answer your questions about where you are and so on while he was learning your language?"

Permalink

"Uh, I got little bits and pieces."

Permalink

"He tends to forget things like that when he's learning a language. Are there things you'd like to know?"

Permalink

"- every...thing?"

" - fair enough. This is an underground city called Himring. We're at war, and the city is underground so it's harder for our enemies to attack it. My people are called the Noldor, and we have been fighting this war for four hundred years. We are like humans in some ways, but we learn languages faster, unlike humans we do not get old and die, and as far as I know none of us have magic. People who are not equipped to serve in the war work here in our cities, on food or supplies or in medicine, and you can try things and pick something you like. The war is with a thing called Melkor; he is powerful and evil, but he mostly doesn't bother with humans."

"He's a thing?"

Permalink

"He is not like an Elf or a human, though he can pick his shape and picks an Elf shape sometimes."

Permalink

"So he's magic?"
