He is riding with a dozen guards and then suddenly they are not around him. Not just an illusion, either - osanwë doesn't reach them - either instantly dead, all of them, or he's been moved - and the sky's changed, so it could be that -
- he dismounts. He doesn't draw a weapon - if this is a ploy of the Enemy then it's over, he lost, there's no point.
And he reaches out for every mind in range.
"...fairy with a name that inspires random people to summon her and refuses to change her name or show up -" Circle.
Door open, circle placed and completed - he squints at it out of curiosity, what's the name -
Huh. He comes back. "So, Midnight, what gets achieved with artifact and song magic in the millenia since you were seven -"
"We can do enhanced memory and attention, grace, balance, extended osanwë range, healing, crop growth, warning when you're in danger, going longer without sleep, general improved endurance, lie detection, sleep, generalized more-power-for-the-thing-you're-doing - that one's a bit hazardous but if there're volume limits on demons or something we could probably boost them - we think we can get aging eventually but it will never be a efficient solution, not if the Valar are willing to just do it -"
"We have range and volume limits but it's 'a planet takes a few weeks' scale."
"Well, if you ever need a planet in a week go fetch Macalaurë."
"I would be delighted to sing it for you."
And he leans back and does that.
No one has explained what those are to him but after a couple minutes they will have a recording of a sleep-skipping song. "Humans shouldn't do it more than four days straight and around seven or eight it'll fail to work and you'll fall asleep and be impossible to wake for eighteen to thirty hours. Elves shouldn't do it more than sixteen days straight and around twenty it'll fail to work and you'll fall asleep and be impossible to wake for twelve to sixteen hours. Dwarves are similar to humans, it does not stack with other songs or with artifacts that do the same thing and Macalaurë's not sure why."
"...in Valinor, which was before we had the song. Food is fairly restricted in Beleriand at the moment."
"No - well, I did used to eat it, but mostly I used to get it as presents for people. Now if you want to know what kind everyone in Tirion liked you have asked the right person."
"I would be delighted to try a candy bar but yes, the actual problem that chocolate represents for me will require resurrection."
"I want to go meet Sanity's orcs, was working out how best to do that and what needed to be out of the way before I did."
