Herald Tantras nods to her. He looks like the intervening years haven't been kind to him at all.

"King Randale is sitting this one out but maybe you can be introduced later," Savil says. "This is Joshel...Katha...Sandra..."

"Hi Tran - nice to meet the rest of you -"

Vanyel Gates to Urtho's Tower, which is a bit nervewracking because of the whole thing where he nearly died there, but they know the main room is safe. He uses the open door of the vacated Work Room, the one where the weapon that caused the Cataclysm lived. 

He heads straight for the door where their chosen weapon lives, opens it, and starts casting shields over it; he doesn't think that carrying it through a Gate and then teleporting it will have any negative effects, but it's the sort of thing where you want rather more precautions than strictly necessary. The bag that Savil prepped for him has additional protections. 

It takes him less than ten minutes to prep it and pack it up, and then he gathers his strength and Gates back, arriving very tired. It's a long way. 

:Bella: he sends, leaning on the chapel door. :Ready to go:

She has in this time explained tapping real quick and collected mana from the Senior Circle. She trots over to him and jumps them to Tol Eressëa.

The first thing Vanyel does is make a beeline to his Work Room, unlock the door, and safely deposit the bagged weapon inside.

The second thing he does is Mindspeak Maitimo. :Made it back safely:

Oh good. 

 

 

He comes out to meet them. "Bella. Thank you so much for your help."

Permalink

"- oh it's - hi, you're welcome."

Permalink

"Would you like to stay here or should we find some people you can take mana from to get back?"

Permalink

"As long as I'm here I might stay for a little while - if that's okay, I don't know exactly what-all you're doing here and I can just get out of the way and meet people later."

Permalink

"You are very much welcome to stay a little while, though at any point we might suddenly need to move quickly. It's dark like this all of the time, because Melkor killed the Trees, but we can offer a place to stay, at least."

Permalink

"Uh, you didn't swear an oath about some things called Silmarils by any chance, did you?"

Permalink

" - no, I have not done so."

Permalink

"Oh good. - uh, I saw you, in some prophecies my set of Valar showed me back when we were on adequate terms, I didn't put it together at the time that the seven of you were his kids but I should've guessed when I found out he married Nerdanel since three of you were redheads -"

Vanyel gives her a startled look. "Prophecies about what? They wouldn't even have been born yet, I don't think Foresight in my world ever goes that far out." 

Permalink

"Arda-style prophecies go out really far, and they're supposed to be impossible to avert and impossible to communicate to anyone who'd be able to use them to change things, but I threw stuff off."

Permalink

"There were prophecies about an oath related to the Silmarils? - the Silmarils are  treasured by my father and feature in our postwar plans, though no one has sworn anything about them since they're...mostly just really pretty...Vanyel can tap them for extra energy?"

Permalink

"The Valar could use them to restore the Trees and in the prophesied future they want to do that. It gets worse from there, it's so ugly -"

Permalink

"Leareth had us all out of Valinor within a minute of the Trees being attacked so the Valar did not have time to express their opinions on this subject. I guess we will stay well away from them."

Permalink

"And don't swear any oaths and don't steal any boats and if you do steal boats don't then set them on fire."

Permalink

"...there were some disputes at Alqualondë because Olwë wouldn't let Nolofinwë's host cross to join us but then Leareth Gated them all across."

Permalink

"- non-fatal disputes?"

Permalink

" - yes? Quendi don't, uh, do fatal disputes, humans seem somehow more inclined to it."

Permalink

"Prophecies had fatal disputes. Tens of thousands of people dead and not a human in sight."

Permalink

"Wow. Uh, there has never been an act of violence in Valinor except by Melkor. - and he convinced someone to light a fire by impersonating a member of the royal family, once, but no one got hurt."
