Here ends the Silmarillion; and if it has passed from the high and the beautiful to darkness and ruin, that was of old the fate of Arda Marred

"Probably doesn't but no reason in principle it couldn't be recast on a rock."

"Except that Mitros will make fun of me. Yes, magic rock."

(He watches. He might be crying.)

"Ready when you are."

"Without destroying anything else in Arda including rings of power that aren't mind-affecting, I wish Melkor, Sauron, the Maiar that served them, and mind-affecting rings of power irrevocably destroyed from this minute forward."

Permalink

"And there you go." Magic rockification ensues. "Loki owes me dinner or something." She makes a dusting-off-her-hands gesture. "Lúthien there are some legit immortal people trapped under a mile of rock, coast of Valinor, can you rescue them, stash 'em out of the way on Mîr but not in that space we set aside for putting large porting batches through, assign them some people with Loki's healing spell...?"

"Trapped under a mile of -" Pop.

Permalink

"- and Maedhros you might want to back up at least as far as Mîr too, uh, you remember those prophecies Kib was freaked out about..."

Permalink

"...people here'd recognize you." She glances at haven't-introduced-himself. "D'you want to continue this conversation on my planet, or, like, what?"

Permalink

"What's - next, figuring out how to bring back the dead?"

Permalink

"Finding six people to wish it. Well, six people to do the thing that covers humans - your Dwarves should be okay actually, Aulë has a design sense and in this kind of Arda he gives 'em a satisfactory afterlife - and one further person with sufficiently strong opinions can omit the need to interact with Mandos about dead Elves and orcs but the one who did it in Luster is presumably himself in Mandos here -"

Permalink

"If they were a Noldo, yes, probably."

(Maedhros vanishes.)

Permalink

"Yeah, it was Celegorm."

Permalink

"Died in the second sack of Menegroth, yeah. I actually don't know if the Fëanorians are in Mandos or in the Everlasting Darkness like they swore."

Permalink

"Evidence from other Ardas suggests Mandos unless he, like, shooed them all when he had the complete set or something."

Permalink

"Doubt it. Okay. I don't know who can make your wishes. Probably some humans, for the human immortality - I could do a piece for human reembodiment -"

Permalink

"We can get some people together. Is getting underway on that more urgent than getting us up to speed on what else is up with this place?"

Permalink

"Not much else is up. The humans have human problems - disease and violence and succession disputes and so forth - there's a couple Maiar who got permission to try to help, they meet with the remaining Elven leadership, it's called the White Council, I should tell them what's going on -"

Permalink

"If you like. In which case you should probably know somewhat more about what's going on."

Permalink

"That would be lovely."

Permalink

"Do you want to go see if that Maedhros is still on Mîr - that's my and Joy's capital planet - or just hang out here where it is less emotionally complicated?"

Permalink

"He's a completely different person. If it'd be useful to have him in the conversation we can go get him. I - I don't know what I'll say to mine, but I don't have to worry about that just yet."

Permalink

"Not especially useful, I don't think, anything he knows and I don't would be personal non-introductory stuff anyway."

Permalink

"Okay. So what sort of people do you need for wishes, what does 'magic rock thing' - why does wishing change your outfit -"
