Elves in Modern times.
This is just a hypothetical question..
I know the Elves cannot come back, wouldn't come back. BUT.. Lets say they did, lets say they sailed back to the world in present day 2007.. What would take place? What would they think of the Earth they find? Would they try to re-establish themselves with humans? Would they turn tail, and go back? What say you, for I am very curious. |

They would turn back, most definitely.

I came back. I stayed because they invented Nintendo around the time I came here. Got hooked on those games that so many now label as "old school". I don't approve of most of what goes on but I think that mankind will find its way. And if it doesn't, um...
The world has changed a good bit and now the things you used to explore without seeing one building, and usually could journey for hundreds of leagues with not even a campfire in a distant forest, are now filled with industry and foul-smelling air (and windbag politicians who can't pronounce "nuclear" or claim that they invented the internet) in some parts. I think the rest of the Elves might have mercy and beg the Valar to let some pass there and lift what some call the "Curse of Man" or "Curse of Mortality". But who knows, the future may work out to be almost like the Star Trek future (and if it does I fear for this world LoL). But yep, Gwaimir Windgem is right, most of the other Elves would turn back in a heartbeat. |

Denial is a beautiful thing... You'd probably better go off on that rant because there's no other way that I could understand SATA and ATA without it... I'm more of a rant-oriented learner, which is why I'm doing so much better in college than in High school. I saw a little Indian proffessor here and he looked exactly like Einstein. I mean it! He could have been him, but he taught some kind of math...
