“Ketil, my friend, I find you a most humorous companion,”
the creature stated. “What have we to fear from Nyarlathotep? We are but two
lonely souls, one the shade of a once-unhappy Earthman who ended his own life,
the other a creature outcast from his kind for possessing too much empathy to
allow him to conduct potentially life-threatening experiments on those
creatures my fellows deemed inferior. We are not power-hungry, we have no
armies of fawning sycophants prostrating themselves at our feet, we have no
money at all, let alone monetary excess. To the likes of Nyarlathotep, we are
worthless. I do like it that way. Do you concur?”

Notes:
Yitzy Yithian is a member of the Great Race of Yith who has been exiled by his fellow Yithians for displaying too much empathy.
Ketil Nagel is the spirit of a Swedish metal musician who sacrificed himself to the Elder Gods.
The Great Race of Yith and Nyarlathotep are the creations of H.P. Lovecraft. Ketil Nagel and Yitzy Yithian are the creations of Team Netherworld.
I concur. It's always a good idea for the powerful movers and shakers to ignore you -- until such time, that is, as you are ready to confront them.
ReplyDeleteNyarlathotep is best left alone, but he has a tendency to come make trouble.
DeleteHmmm...will he concur?? I think Yitzy is smart enough to recognize the benefits of flying beneath the radar. :-) Good snippet!
ReplyDeleteYitzy is a clever chap with a very steady temper. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteYitzy's kind of a downer but also very practical in his (its?) recitation of all the things they do not have and why they therefore should be safe. Enjoyed the snippet!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I chuckled at your assessment because between Ketil and Yitzy, Yitzy is by far the more optimistic of the pair. He tends to see their condition as a "glass half full" situation.
DeleteThat sounds reasonable. If they're of no interest, then there probably won't be trouble, or is that just wishful thinking? Enjoyed the snippet!
ReplyDeleteWishful thinking, mostly. ;-)
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
