It's finally time to reap the rewards you've earned from all that hard work collecting and returning the Hope orbs! Be careful walking the streets during the small earthquakes, but feel free to admire the scenery as your beautiful city reassembles its way back into its former glory.

There are new houses where the destroyed buildings once were, and they're perfect for a single person or pair of lovebirds. In addition, you'll find that the electricity to these new houses, and all other homes and shops in the city is restored. The food is better, the monsters are gone- hey, this city might be livable again!

To cap it all off, we've got a feast waiting for you on the 19th! Come one, come all, and enjoy all of your favorite foods, drinks, and party games. It's been awhile since we've all gotten together to celebrate something good, so get your party on and toss all your troubles away!

[ Maglor hisses ]

The more I learn, the more I dislike him. Even Eol did not rape, although how bespelled Aredhel was is up for debate.

[swiftlet]

You're not the only one. I'm sure the world breathes easier now knowing he's dead.

[bythewaves]

Good [ He says with grim satisfaction ]

I am glad you are free of him.

[swiftlet]

So am I. Terzian was not a kind har and he wanted me to be like him. Only he underestimated Cobweb's strength.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor reaches out to tuck a strand of hair back ]

I'm glad. You deserve better.

[swiftlet]

He's gone now, at least. And I can't say I'm unhappy about that.

[bythewaves]

Nor I, by the sounds of things. I am glad you had those around you who could help.

[swiftlet]

Few enough of them, but I suppose it was enough.

[bythewaves]

Better some than none! Which, by the sounds of things, is at least partially the issue with Seel.

[swiftlet]

[Sigh]

I think he believes that, though I'm not certain how true it is.

[bythewaves]

What matters is that he does belive it. [ Maglor says practically ]

It would not affect him so badly if he did not.

[swiftlet]

I know. I'm just not sure how to make him believe anything else. I've tried for 30 years.

[bythewaves]

It might be more practical to leave behind the past to address his present. You are here now - and you are not leaving, eh?

[swiftlet]

Not so long as I have a say in it.

[bythewaves]

Good. [ Maglor smiles at him fondly ]

Try not to dwell too long in the past with him. Draw him into the now.

[swiftlet]

That's far easier said than done. He's lived so long in the past, I'm not sure he knows how to be any other way.

[bythewaves]

It's always hard. [ Maglor nods ]

But one day at a time.

[swiftlet]

I think I might be impatient.

[bythewaves]

No shame in that!

[ Maglor says wryly ]

But such hurts go very deep. You do help him Swift - do not doubt that!

[swiftlet]

I'll try. This isn't like anything I've ever had to handle before.

[bythewaves]

No. [ Maglor sighs ] It is not something MOST would have had to handle! But you do very well, Swift. Truly you do.

[swiftlet]

I'm...glad. To hear you say that.

[bythewaves]

I wish I could do more. [ He says sadly ]

But there are some things that only time and hope can heal.

[swiftlet]

What if that isn't enough?

[bythewaves]

It will be.

[ Maglor says firmly ]

Don't fall to despair!
