"Yikes."

"It was obnoxious. It is possible it'll take some doing to get the attention of interdimensional powers who hop in to lecture the Valar and then leave."

"Perhaps. Don't think we can address an owl to 'mysterious lecturer'."

"Kat needs to know about Beka."

"We could go to Valinor if we won't get smote for it."

"I'm sure Beka will make her way to Kat if possible."

"Which is a potential catastrophe, if the Valar won't let her leave."

"Adding Kat anxious to try to get to Beka is not necessarily an improvement. We could try sending an owl to Valinor, Amber is getting along with the other barn owl in a potentially egglaying fashion so we don't have to treat them as irreplaceable..."

"Still a really long trip."

"Yes, but days long not weeks."

"They seem likelier than not to let an owl messenger in - maybe we can tell Beka to give us a bit of time and that Kat's safe, at least -"

"You should probably write the letter with more or less consultation from Rebecca, put in whatever seems useful."

"Can you take me to her?"

"Sure - hold my arm -" And there ensue Apparitions up to Mithrim.

"Hi. We just got an emissary informing us that Beka surrenders -"

" - so they're going to reembody her?"

"...surrenders? Can she do that by emissary?"

"I have no idea! Apparently!"

"And that fixes her thing -?"

"I mean, she'd still be sworn to whatever she remembered being sworn to, which is almost certainly something horrible, but apparently they can maybe fix that too, now -"

"How -"

"The explanation we were given was very incomplete, but apparently someone stopped by to give the Valar a tutorial and they can fix oaths."

"That's... nice of them?"

"Probably."

He hugs Rebecca protectively.
