Bella!!! Oh good. ...I'm still coming to get you.

You should definitely come visit and I do not want to live here forever but the magic here is like mine so you don't have to develop the spell for it yourself first, especially not if you were going to try to find Emily instead of triangulating directly on me. Are you doing okay, you must have been as scared as I was -

The Valar are mean and stupid and evil and I don't like them.

Yes, me too.

They shouldn't be in charge of anything and they should have to tell you they are very sorry.

I do not have a way to make progress towards either of those results.

I'm working on it.

Please do not attempt to mind control the Valar into being very sorry or anything like that.

Well I was going to rescue you and run away and then they'll be sorry.

It turns out they are so incompetent that I do not even need rescuing. I don't want to live here forever but there's not a special rush to get me out, I'm safe. We don't have to be in a hurry to figure out whether or where you are running away either.

I am running away.

This really isn't an ideal place to settle down long term, so until you have a safe way to find one, you might as well wait.

It can't be worse than Valinor.

There's slavery here.

Well, we should make them stop that.

There's also evil gods around - like actively malicious, not just incompetent. I think we should live somewhere out of reach till we're actually ready for that.

But then who'll stop the slavery?

So, there's this guy here who psychically resembles you and also generally seems you-like - he grabbed me out of a crowd because I said your name when I was confused by the mental signature and he recognized it as not being in a language he knew - and he is the king's dad. His name's Fe-Anar. Maybe you should talk to him about that when you visit.

When can I visit?

When we've got a plane shift that'll work. They have scrolls of it here, but it only works for outgoing, not for incoming; I can try to pull together an incoming version and I can tell you about the regular kind insofar as I can without being able to put a scroll in front of you, and we can see who's got it working first. Bring Rúmil - give him a bit of notice first, please, don't kidnap him - if you beat me to it.

Okay!

She does her best to transmit the content of the plane shift scroll Fe-Anar got for her reference.

Huh. It's designed kind of weirdly.

I think the field's less advanced here. It's a science world but even doing science things take a while.

We did a lot of science pretty fast! Is it very new?
