"And then there will be two of him. Even more than there already were."

"Ours is trying to figure out the portal that brought Ambela here. He's been dropping things through it."

       "That would really be something, if it can take you to any world - and there are more -"

"It would!"

" - but maybe it can wait for tomorrow? It's been an eventful day."

        "You could wait ten Years and no one would blink."

"Ambela would!"

Giggle. "Tomorrow is fine."

And home they go. The Ring observes disappointedly that none of these things are magic and that they can't even mindcontrol random pedestrians for practice.

Doesn't it have any other hobbies?

Permalink

It's a ring. There aren't many hobbies you can pick up as a ring.

Permalink

It could explain how to use its other powers.

Oh! Yeah! Definitely! So the one that identifies magic things can also make them or quash them or bend them but that's tricky, takes centuries to really get the hang of. This one is on the right scale for doing biological things like making people into horrifying immortal ghouls. Or just immortal, it can also do just immortal. This one lets you access the history of an object or a place across time, it's really tricky but when it's all figured out you could do resurrections with it and it has a time dilation feature in principle but no one's ever figured it out. This one bends space. Sometimes the bent bits are kind of dangerous for whoever happens to be around them but if she really likes them she could put them back.

She will snuggle her Rúmil and quiz it about the magic thingmaking feature on the way to go tell people about stuff.

It's easier to understand if there are lots of magic things around, there are no magic things around here to get the shape of except the ring and the ring is unique and special and will not make her more rings - why would she even need two - and too complicated to make anyway. The ring could raise magic walls around her Rúmil so no one else can touch him?

Permalink

Maybe she can come back to this topic the next time she is near magic things. She does not want nobody else to be able to touch her Rúmil.

Permalink

It doesn't even involve any mind control!

Permalink

It doesn't! And would therefore make her Rúmil sad, and less able to go around doing Rúmil things to boot.

Permalink

Oh, all right.

It'll get the hang of this. Maybe. What exactly would it have done to her in the evil department if she had picked it up before, anyway?

Permalink

Oh, it would've pointed out that her backups weren't getting to Mandos and all these people around her were going to kill her because she had the One Ring so how about they be prevented from doing that there now they don't want to anymore she should go return the Ring to Sauron now and be his slave - 

- and of course she would not have been in favor of that and would instead have wanted to use it to kill Sauron and it would show her how and if half of Mordor died with him she wouldn't notice, buffeted on all of the distractions of all of her new magic, being used at the edges of its capabilities to destroy a Maia - and the humans would still be enslaving each other and it'd be as easy as breathing to make them not want that anymore - and to make the orcs all forget Melkor and forget what Elves are so their oaths could not haunt them -

Permalink

Forgetting what Elves are is actually an interesting idea in case they can't just directly have their oaths reformed on the immaterial soul architecture.

Permalink

Well it can't do that right now because of not being a mind control ring but maybe Varda would put the mind control back!!

Permalink

No.

Permalink

Awwwww.

Permalink

It'll get the hang of it.

The existence of other, terrible worlds makes the evening news and is much-discussed.

Yes, Mirelótë is willing to do an interview or two.
