"Yeah."

"And we had this one pharaoh who tried to introduce monotheism to Egypt under the name of Aten the sun-disc, but that. Didn't last. Like, at all."

"...Okay, but you just said you have Hebrew, after the Hebrews came to Egypt..."

"They did that and then they left after a different pharaoh made terrible life choices at them."

"Weird."

"Edie, what does Odette's world look like, Earth with an earlier divergence in history or not..."

Edie conjures a tiny Earth. "Looks like it," she says, examining the scale model critically.

"Huh."

"We should probably go over the histories for details at some point after I've grabbed relevant people."

"That sounds interesting."

"Yeah."

She opens the door and calls urgently for whoever's closest.

Whoever's closest is one of the young men from Ladros.

"Hi, I need you to hold this door for a minute while I grab some people, there's new weird magic stuff going on," she tells him.

"...okay." He takes the door.

And then she is in her sister's throne room, and both Illia and Andreth are there--New magic thing happened, there's some kind of interworld locus that stops time in the world you come in from while you're there, there's alternate-world copies of Illia and me and for some reason the Feanorians there. Do you want to come?

What -

- um, yes, sure -

Great. 

And then all three of them are just inside Milliways and then Odette is in Himlad.

Good news and better but more surprising news. I can teleport now, and there's a time-stopping interdimensional bar. It was recommended that I grab you and Curufin before shutting the door and not letting another minute pass before I can kill Morgoth.

You sure it's not a trap?

There was an alternate universe me there and Morgoth doesn't know enough about me to simulate that.

Okay.

Is he doing anything I really shouldn't interrupt?

I think he'd want to be interrupted for something this important.

I was thinking in terms of 'warn him before grabbing him so he can put down something that would be dangerous to have spontaneously unattended,' not 'leave him behind.'

Yeah, that you should definitely do.

Hey, Curufin, I can teleport and there's a magical interdimensional bar that stops time, you're on the shortlist of people to grab before closing the door and not letting another minute pass before I can kill Morgoth.
