Your pardon, but I am unavailable. If you will, leave a message and I will answer as soon as I may.
Thank you - do you happen to have his measurements?
DAMMIT!
[Give him a minute to get that out of his system.]
I don't. And I'm not sure how to get them without spoiling the surprise.<\

Ah... that might be a problem. Could you tell him it is for a spell, perhaps? Or could you use magic to find out?
I could try enchanting measuring tape but it would be hard to measure him while he's awake. And he'd know it's me, I don't know mant mages here except for the two of us.
True.
[ Maglor sighs softly ]
Your counsel is wise, and I suppose if you think it will not hurt, I will stay. Thank you, Sorey.

Hm. Well you could always tell him you need it for... research maybe?
It's worth trying, I suppose.

No, thank you for listening. [ Maglor shakes his head ]
Your world is very fortunate to have you.

I can work without, but estimates are never accurate, and it would be better to know!
Every life is, in their own way. [ Maglor hums softly, startling at the touch although he does not pull away ]
But a light so bright as yours, a soul so generous - that is rare, and precious. Thank you very much, Sorey. You really do remind me of Master Frodo.

[ He but speaks the truth! ]
No - but all who live in my time know his name, for he was the saviour of us all.

He is. [ Maglor says, and shakes his head with a soft laugh ]
Oh no! Master Frodo is a hobbit - a halfling, we would say, for they stand no taller than about half my height. He would insist he did nothing special, but Master Samwise and he, they carried the Enemy's Ring right into his lands, under his very nose, and destroyed it there where it was made, in the only place that could unmake all the enchantments laid upon it. And is so doing they robbed the Enemy of all his power and unmade HIM as well.

That's-
Do you mean the same enemy you and your family were fighting against all those years? He got right of that same enemy? [Because if that's so, then it means Maglor has a peaceful home to return to, and not the horrendous mess Sorey was afraid of.]

Not quite. [ Maglor shakes his head ]
Sauron was Morgoth's lieutenant, so you can think of him as a shadow, an echo, a reflection of his Master. He was cleverer, by far - a schemer, and a lier. But Morgoth was by far the more powerful, and more brutal. Sauron is gone, and I think it will be many Ages of the world before he rises again, and Morgoth the same, but they are both Ainur - beings a bit like Sorey, I think? They cannot be slain, for they are a part of the very fabric of the world itself.
[ Softly ] Indeed, the wise have long theorised that Morgoth so inefected our world that the only way to truly defeat him would be to destroy the world itself...

[Sorey isn't sure if he specifically is all as important as Maglor claims, but he does know about the Shepherd legend, as well as the Lord of Calamity. Beings that always seem to rise again in history in pairs.]
...that sounds like malevolence.
[Sorey sinks down onto his seat, elbows on his knees.] Our world's lost a lot of its written history, but malevolence has been around for as long as even the oldest seraphim can remember. Maybe that's like our Morgoth; a sickness of the world that can only ever be treated, but never cured.

[ Maglor thinks so, so there ]
Maybe. [ he says softly, sadness threaded with steel ] My folk call it the Long Defeat, and yet we oppose it at every turn. No reason to give it more a foothold than it has already.

Maybe someday in the future, they'll have Morgoth contained. [Sorey shifts his weight.] ...I don't know if it means much to you, since I can only speak as a human being, but in my world the Shepherd legend is about people who take up the title again and again against the fight of darkness. It's never completely defeated, but there are times of peace.
I think maybe those moments of peace are worth the fighting, even if sometimes the battle seems endless.

Oh, he is - at least, as much as is possible. The Powers of the World threw him out beyond the Doors of Night at the end of the First Age. He can no longer actively influence our world. But his poison runs deep, for he was one of our world's builders, you see.
[ A smile ]
Good. That is good. And you are correct - on such foundations is Hope founded, that day will always follow night.
