Why?

Permalink

Complicated historical reasons I'm not very informed about.

Permalink

Oh. Well, if they didn't know about fairies there can't be a rule. Here you go, a textbook circle with my name in it, you can just fill it in later.

Permalink

Thank you! There isn't a rule right now but they might make a rule.

Permalink

If they haven't so far why would they do it tomorrow?

Permalink

Well, because now they know fairies exist?

Permalink

They do?

Permalink

...yes, because you came here and thousands of people saw you.

Permalink

If the Valar saw me and decided I wasn't allowed they should have said!

Permalink

I don't think they've decided yet! It hasn't been very long and there are probably lots of things to consider. 

Permalink

Fairies are useful! Humans summon us to do things for them.

Permalink

They might be totally okay with it! They're really reasonable and they just want everyone to be happy. But they might want no fairies while they think about it, or no fairies bringing humans or human news, or only fairies who know the laws here and follow them, or something like that.

It doesn't sound like they want fairies and humans to be happy.

Permalink

They tried making humans happy and it was a horrible disaster and ended with the humans they gave nice stuff enslaving all the other humans and invading Valinor. So after that they decided the best way to make humans happy was to not get involved at all. Maybe they can make fairies happy, I don't know what fairies want.

We like stuff! Everything here is really pretty.

Permalink

Then maybe they'll look into it and decide giving fairies lots and lots of pretty stuff is not very likely to lead to the fairies with nice stuff enslaving other fairies and invading, and then it'll probably be okay.

Permalink

It'd be really hard for fairies to enslave each other! We can move faster than we can see so if we don't wanna be someplace we can just take off and whoever we're flying away from doesn't even know which way we went.

Permalink

That does sound like it'd solve it. 

Permalink

Yeah. It's pretty great. Do you wanna fly around?

Permalink

Sure! We could go see my cousins down in Vinyamar.

Permalink

The fairy smooths out the paper circle and floats out of the house. She picks up the Elf gently. Which way?

Permalink

Southwest. She giggles.

Permalink

The fairy goes up and then southwest!

Permalink

And after a lot of pretty Elven countryside there's totally another city, built into a mountain in an asymmetrical spiral. That's the one.

There's someone waiting for them on the ground who is not an Elf. The air pressure does something funny as they get closer.
