"Yeah, we have a sun now. Uh, does Elladan know about this or should I tell him to have Turin summon somebody in case he is interrupted mid-fight by dying."

Permalink

"Hard to guess - it's an obscure one, and from before his time, but one you might make a point of knowing if you were staying on Earth until the end. And if Túrin can become a daeva that means the prophecy isn't particularly likely to occur in the next few decades while he's still alive - and yet -"

"Eru," he says, "should die."

"Hear, hear, lemme know if you figure that one out. Repeat me the prophecy, I'll write it down this time."

Permalink

"When the world is very old and the watchers at the gates grow weary, Melkor will break loose, and rip the Moon from the sky and blot out the Sun, and on the plains of Valinor Túrin Turambar will fight him, and the griefs of the world settled for ever. And Fëanor will come forth from exile and break the Silmarils and restore to the world the light of Arda Unmarred."

And Cam emails that to Elladan.

Who writes back well, fantastic. I want to give the humans a week or so to come to terms with all of the history, then I'd like everyone to meet if that's possible. There is some precedent for the Enemy being advantaged by poor communication and old resentments.

Cam reads that out to the Fëanorians.

Permalink

"That's reasonable. Is a week long enough - I know they're humans -"

Permalink

"I'm sort of worried about waiting even that long and am going to recommend Elladan get Turin to finish the fairy circle to go home if he can. If someone needs longer they can probably ask for it."

Permalink

So Cam tells Elladan that. And asks where they'd be meeting.

Permalink

If possible I would like to see how my ring likes the Silmarils.

Permalink

"Elladan has a magic ring and would like to wave it at the Silmarils, does that sit okay with you and if so does it impose meeting location constraints?"

Permalink

"I'd sooner not travel with them - what does the magic ring do -"

Permalink

"I have negligible detail but the five word summary was 'make you like a Vala'."

Permalink

"Well, we could certainly use that. They're all welcome here, then, I suppose."

Permalink

Cam writes back that Fëanor is agreeable but does not wish to travel with the shinies.

Permalink

If it's all right with them we'll come visit.

Permalink

Yup, that seems to be fine.

Permalink

Next Saturday?

Permalink

Cam checks and confirms.

Permalink

He leans back and starts singing, unhappily.

Permalink

Sigh.

Permalink

He has been present for the whole conversation but has not moved or spoken; he is staring at the wall.
