[Five other people are missing from the palace, and two irretrievably dead, including the Queen -] and names of the missing - the only ones Isabella will recognize will be Maitimë and Rúmil -

She reports to Present Ulmo.

Who checks - [too late, on that -]

Juice, she keeps drinking juice.

And they have a flurry more queries and then have a plan for minimizing the catastrophic effects of losing the Trees and stop asking her questions to do that.

Okay she'll just sort of slide to the ground and faint now how about.

Permalink

People, oblivious, will worry and take her to a healer. The healer will shortly be distracted by the end of the world.

Permalink

Yep. Anyway she'll be fine as soon as she's digested more of this food.

Then she'll wake up in time to watch the world go dark - darker than Trees-go-out, that would at least allow you to see the stars - paralyzing magic darkness, and every not-metabolizing Elf panicking -

Could have been worse. Is still terrible.

[Maitimë?]

Permalink

...okay. It's hard to find food in the dark so this is a bad time for refeeding and she might need whatever she's got unexpectedly. She leaves channels for the Valar to talk to her and otherwise sits tight.

Permalink

After a while the Valar start singing to mourn the Trees.

[Are you in osanwë range I'm trying to conserve magic -]

Permalink

Are we going to be proffered an explanation in the next hour - is everyone okay -

Permalink

Not everyone, I wasn't looking soon enough to get everyone -

Permalink

Maitimë's missing and your mother's dead and - more names - and most of the human eclipsed are dead except three defectors -

Permalink

I only noticed anything at all by coincidence, I wasn't looking, I'm sorry -

Permalink

Dead as in - Mandos, or -

Permalink

Mandos is also dead.
