Well, he's reasonably sure he at least started lobbing them at the places they were supposed to go, which he could find on a map if they have a map.

They have a map!

Permalink

Point.

Permalink

That'll save time in finding people!

Permalink

Good. It would suck if he were crippled to deliver letters that didn't arrive.

Permalink

A few days later a letter recipient arrives. Hi, she says. Uh, how'd you get this message?

Permalink

My roommate got summoned by some guy who wanted to add to the letter packet as long as we were going to send one.

Permalink

Okay. We sent petitioners to Taniquetil to explain things in terms the Valar will understand. They'll fix it but they might not - are you like humans -

Permalink

Uh, except for the magic, indestructibility, wings, looking a bit different, home and culture, and entire history of everything, sure?

Permalink

The relevant thing would be whether something taking a month is swift and reasonable or excruciatingly long.

Permalink

I can wait that long. Shipka could use a fix faster than that, she can't do her job or go anywhere and she can only feed herself if the things have straws and someone brings them near her face.

Permalink

We're trying.

Permalink

Thanks.

Permalink

How did we, uh, not know about you before now? And how'd you find Valinor in the first place?

Permalink

Demons found it. They sent us a map, they're nice and send us copies of everything interesting. I guess you were out of range of Revelation, that's when summoning became widely known to humans.

Permalink

Yeah, we're not allowed to pay the humans close attention.

Permalink

Then it really shouldn't be surprising when they know things you don't.

Permalink

...we lived there for thousands of years. It's weird that we wouldn't have found out then.

Permalink

Maybe we didn't exist yet? Demons think daeva are old but not THAT old.

Permalink

It was a long time ago but not that long, thirty thousand years?

Permalink

That is super long, I don't know of any daeva that old.

Permalink

Really? Huh. Then maybe that's all there is to it. Are people from Fairyland going to keep trying to come here?

Permalink

There's billions of fairies, I can't speak for all of them. Up to your monsters if they show up angry about Shipka or just wanting to check out the architecture.

Permalink

You do realize that if someone picks a fight with the Valar -

Permalink

Then we as a society have to figure out how to handle more cripples? Yeah, I'm not advocating that, I showed up with letters, remember? But contrary to human pop culture there is not a Faerie Queene you can have issue a binding resolution over all fairies, we're several billion different people.
