"Still doesn't. The only thing she knows how to do with her muscles are twitch her wings, blink, breathe, talk, and chew. Some fairies don't bother learning to move without magic, why would we."

"Did anyone tell them that? Not that I'm blaming her but it affects whether there might be anything to be gained by telling them that."

Permalink

"She told the monster she couldn't get up. The monster tried to give her some kind of sticks, I don't know what that was about."

Permalink

"Might've been magic? They have a lot of magic." Sigh. "Did the monster say why -"

Permalink

"It kept telling her to stop using her 'unfamiliar magic' - what kind of description is that, 'unfamiliar magic', how's she supposed to know what's familiar? - and she was explaining that she knew what she was doing, asked permission before taking the Elf for a ride, etcetera. She couldn't stop, stopping is 'being collapsed in a heap on the ground' -"

Nod. "Is anyone else likely to try visiting Valinor?"

Permalink

"We're thinking of trying to fling a letter over the mountains at them, see if that does anything. If they can even fix her."

Permalink

"I'm sure they can fix it. Would you be willing to consider flinging a letter not for them over the mountains - or maybe a couple thousand of them, make sure one reaches the right set of eyes -"

Permalink

"It'd be hard to aim for a smaller target than the giant mountain from over the mountains, but might as well be struck motionless for a thousand letters as for one."

Shiver. "I wouldn't ask anyone to risk it. But if you're going to anyway, I have a cousin, and she'd know how to badger the Valar about it most effectively - likelier to convince them, see -"

Permalink

"Not me, we were gonna send somebody who could do okay without magic if he really had to."

Permalink

"Well. I can give you a note to take that person and I bet Nelyo'd want one too while we're at it."

Permalink

"He's not going to actually go over the mountains. He can send them paper airplanes."

Permalink

"Sure. I don't even know where they are - though I guess, uh, Cam -"

Permalink

"If we assume they're home, yeah."

Permalink

"I bet they're in a place where they'd get a message meant for them, anyway. Uh, Irissë, and the person Nelyo'll want to write is Findekáno -"

Permalink

"Are these going to be unique names?"

Permalink

"I have no idea but I don't expect to have other cousins with those names."

Permalink

"I can work with that." Little carefully demagicked models -

Permalink

They both exist! Their surroundings are pretty Elf architecture.

Permalink

Of course they are. Scaled up?

Permalink

Southeastern part of the continent, looks like.

Permalink

Cam copies the map that got sent to Fairyland and marks spots, and takes pictures of the architecture-and-surroundings and attaches them gently to the map near there.

Permalink

And he writes a note in a very ancient military cipher.

Permalink

"You want me to make a bunch of copies, leaflet the place to be sure they get where they're going?"
