ask-melian replied to your post: Arien! It is so good to see you on here!

Ai, yes far too long! How have you been? I feel as though we must catch up.

I’ve been quite well, all things considered. And you? I agree with you, for there is much that has happened since we last spoke.

[ask-melian-blog]

I’ve been well, besides being apart from my family. Well, tell me how has life been treating you since we last spoken ever so long ago?

[ask-arien-blog]

I am terribly sorry for your loss all those years ago, Melian. I wish I could have been there for you in that time. And life has treated me well, though this endless cycle across the sky is sometimes a bit on the lonesome side. Still, I cannot complain, for I see and hear much, and it makes everything a bit more interesting.

It is good to see you too, Melian! It has been far too long, has it not?

[ask-arien-blog]

….I do not really want to think of the breeding ability of such creatures, but thank you for the information either way. I thought most of them were destroyed when Mairon’s form was?

[ask-thuringwethil-blog]

/smirks  And I thought you said you weren’t blind, dearest?

[ask-arien-blog]

Yes, I did say so, sweetheart *smiles sweetly* But I cannot see them if they hide beneath the mountains, which is what I assume they are doing? They rarely walk free, at least, and those who do are often destroyed if they stray too close to settlements.

[ask-thuringwethil-blog]

Obviously you have not been watching as closely as you say you have, else you would know of their numbers.  /smiles back, blows a kiss

[ask-arien-blog]

Most of the time my focus is on the distant horizon, sweetling. Besides, while most of them do not fear the sunlight, I know they are loath to walk beneath it - it is easier for them to move in the night. /blows a kiss in return

[ask-thuringwethil-blog]

Ah, Arien… /smirks  That is not so!  You have not been keeping up with the world, I see!  /shrugs  But that does not concern me.  You carry on with your boating business, and I shall continue with my work.  /smiles sweetly

[ask-arien-blog]

Then what is so? Do they run about, day and night, as the Firstborn and Secondborn are wont to do? Yes, by all means, do continue your work, which I am assuming is very important? *smirks*

[ask-thuringwethil-blog]

/smiles sweetly  Why of course.  If your eyes weren’t “focused on the horizion” perhaps you would know of what I speak.  But since you do not, I shall not be the one to ruin the surprise…

[ask-arien-blog]

Oh, because it would be such a fun surprise, would it not? Though I do not really think it would involve me much, considering I am in the sky and not on the ground, and none can reach me without burning.

[ask-thuringwethil-blog]

You are right—it would not and should not concern you, but I shall keep it to myself all the same.  For that is what I do, is it not—keep secrets?

[ask-arien-blog]

Have fun then, Thuringwethil, and let us hope it does not come back to bite you, as surprises are wont to do. And that is indeed what you do, and you do it well, too.

[ask-thuringwethil-blog]

Perhaps, perhaps not, though I thank you for the compliment, /wink

[ask-arien-blog]

Always, darling *smiles sweetly*

[ask-thuringwethil-blog]

Of course, dearest. /beams back   I shall take my leave of you then.

[ask-arien-blog]

Oh yes, please do. I have to move on to greet your Master either way. Toodles, dear.

ask-elemmire replied to your post: My lady! It is an honor to speak with you, O Glorious Golden One! I shall sing a verse or two for you in the upcoming festival at Valimar!

It would be no problem at all, my lady! I shall sing of your glory and your light for all of Valinor to hear!

That is very sweet of you, and it is also absolutely delightful! Thank you kindly, my Lord, I am certain it shall be a joy.

ask-thuringwethil replied to your post: When did /you/ get here? Trying to copy me and Mairon, hmm? Typical. Your sort was never very creative…

Missed you? Why, I see you everyday. And you are taking suggestions from Tilion? That’s surprising. /shakes head So oblivious you are, dear Arien. I’m surprised you haven’t completely blinded yourself yet, although it seems you are getting close.

Oh? I was not sure, for more often than not it would seem that Mairon blocks your view with the way you lick his boots /shrugs. I am sorry to disappoint you, but the sun cannot blind me - I would like to see you try, though. Could be fun to watch you burn into ash.

[ask-thuringwethil-blog]

/snorts  It appears I was mistaken—you are completely blind it seems, no matter what you say about it.  If you weren’t, you’d know that neither one of us is doing any boot-licking.  And why would I try when you’ve already done it yourself?

[ask-arien-blog]

Did you lose your brain when your form was destroyed back then? Because it would certainly seem so. As for my eyesight, it is perfectly fine. Almost too fine, at times.

[ask-thuringwethil-blog]

Of course not.  Whatever gave you that idea?  It’s still here, in perfect condition, should you ask.  Well, if your eyesight is fine as you say it is, the problem must be with your mental capacities.

Oh, and when you pop in the Void tonight, tell Master I said hello, will you?  /grins

[ask-arien-blog]

Hm, I am doubting it still, I must say that. And my mental capacities are also fine - if it is anything, it is my hearing after all your nagging.

And why would I ever want to as much as gaze upon him? Besides, he shrinks away the moment I am inside, for the light certainly burns him.

[ask-thuringwethil-blog]

Of course it is, darling.

And considering that it is your job to watch him, I would think that you do gaze at him often.  I think you are underestimating him.  /dark chuckle  You see, one day you will go in, but instead he will come out.  /smiles sweetly

[ask-arien-blog]

Only as often as I absolutely have to. I do not like him, nor does he like me. Underestimating him, you say? How do you think that is going to happen then, Thuringwethil? Will he overpower me and destroy me, and escape before the door closes? Or will he slip out as I am about to enter? I know of the little doomsday tale, yet I think it is long until it will happen.

[ask-thuringwethil-blog]

“Only as often as you absolutely have to” meaning “every moment you are in there.”  My lord’s power has not diminished—of that I am sure.  He merely has to break the chain that holds him and he will be free.  You cannot possibly think that you could single-handedly best him, unless you are quite daft?

[ask-arien-blog]

No, I do not think I can single-handedly best him. I do not think I could best him should I have an entire army. I know he grows stronger every day, I feel it every time I am in there - do you really think I would not know what he is capable of? One day, that guardian is going to be destroyed, and he shall be free, and you shall probably rejoice - but do not forget that his doom will come at the end of it all.

[ask-thuringwethil-blog]

None can tell as yet what the end of the Dagor Dagorath will be.  Do not be so presumptuous to already say that our doom lies at the end of it.  Perhaps the Valar shall fall against his might and Lord Melkor will rise as King of Arda.

[ask-arien-blog]

Nay, none can… perhaps you are right, and perhaps you are not. It remains to be seen - even though Melkor is outnumbered, he could end up being victorious. He’s sly, after all.

[ask-thuringwethil-blog]

/slight smirk  Yes, he is.  We all are.  And as for him being outnumbered, orcs and Uruks breed easily, as do our trolls.  It would be no issue at all  to create a huge host to cover all the lands in shadow.
