She's got the baby and she's on her way to the hallucination set and then there's a thing. It eats three orcs. - Not eats. It... puts, three orcs, through its face. There aren't bulges in its body, no chewing no blood no pain even when she can still read someone's mind in the last moment before their head is gone -
Yeah her plan probably wasn't gonna work anyway she steps into the snake portal.
- why did you do that.
Because just killing Melkor didn't turn out to be quite satisfying enough.
I see.
Anyway, how about I put you down over here.
Here they are, a ways south of the end of the icy bit. He lets the chunk of ice settle onto the ground, conjures a little more ice to fill in the gaps so it's firmly seated and not at all inclined to tip, conjures warm cozy blankets for anybody who looks cold and tables laden with food for anybody who looks hungry, both of which turn out to be most of the people present -
- and he still has a bit of power left over from what he grabbed to kill Melkor with, so he designs and builds a huge gorgeous castle, doing the architecture in one sweep and the furniture on the second and the lighting and miscellaneous decor on the third. It rises out of the ground a couple hundred feet past the forward end of the now-settled flying ice chunk.
They stare.
- thank you.
You're welcome, he says cheerfully. Can't stay, my girlfriend's going to worry if I'm not back soon. Anything else you need before I go?
- what's your name?
Thank you.
Welcome!
And he turns his attention back to the orcs. Wow there are a lot of orcs. And they are all in terrible pain. Since it's there and all, he keeps picking it up and feeding it into his foundation spell. There is not really enough water in the healing fountain to give it to all of them. Maybe he should just duplicate the healing fountain, except that right now he's pretty sure he shouldn't push his luck by trying to pick up another big chunk of power right away. He's real good at this but not literally infinitely good.
He goes home and rematerializes and hugs his Beka and shows her the memories.
I love you too. Snuggle. Snuggle snuggle.
Kind of pisses me off that all the orcs are still sworn to serve him and stuff, he adds after a minute. And all in pain still. Although I guess as long as there are orcs around I don't really need my swans anymore...
If he's dead the swearing to serve him goes away. The other oaths to hate Elves and stuff'd still be there though.
Which is annoying but I'm not gonna try to do anything about it this minute.
He has some important snuggling to catch up on.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee yes he loves her too look how much. So much. He killed a god for her and everything. And tore down Angband and put in bunnies.
