"It looks like we can't compose them. Macalaurë is so upset."

Permalink

"Well, we would have noticed if we could, I assume..." Does the ring have a guess why?

Remember that current of magic in the other Arda? It was everywhere there and it's not here at all and you need to pull on it to compose the songs. Once they work they float independent of it like this, see, and you can scoop them up and take them somewhere else, but you'd never stumble on something that worked by chance without being able to pull on it.

"- location, not a property of us. If he can sort out immigration he can pick it up."

"He will be delighted. - that might be quite an if, though -"

"Could take a while."

Sigh. "Maybe some of the humans would have him."

"Likely enough. The ones I met were fairly excited to have an Elf visitor, especially one who would sing to them, and vague on Elf politics."

Permalink

"I suppose for them 700 Years might as well be forever."

Permalink

"Which will change but hasn't yet."

Permalink

"Hopefully that also helps with the other things about them."

Nod.

"Looks like lots of people can be horrible in the wrong circumstances."

Nod.

 

She goes back a while later to look at magic and invite Arafinwë over.

Magic looks fascinating. Arafinwë will go visit.

So fascinating! She asks the ring about it. She sings magic songs and looks at them. She looks at people's magic jewelry and the effects the Valar have laid on Valinor.

Permalink

They kind of went overboard with that! Her Valar will occasionally do a thing but these ones did all the things. Any plants anyone likes are immortal, the fountains conveniently won't splash, the bells conveniently won't ring at the same time as ones they clash with. The ring is so excited.

It's a bit much, but in an interesting-to-parse way! She gets so much practice. She begins to think about terraforming.

Permalink

He stops in to thank her.

Permalink

"You're welcome. And thank you, even though it turned out it wasn't necessary to do things the long way. How have you been?"

Permalink

"I'm overjoyed to see everything getting fixed."

Permalink

"Are people taking it well here? It's faster than they're used to."

Permalink

"I think they'd rather not import technologies, but the broad news that now the Valar understand things went over pretty well, and they're waiting on resurrections of anyone whose return is not eagerly awaited."

Permalink

She nods. "The technological aspect will probably be more interesting to the people of Endorë; everyone here is presumably comfortable and is not yet accustomed to our conveniences that they'd miss them."

Permalink

"Maybe we'll phase things in at the rate you initially developed them. Did people think that was too fast?"
