Yadira spins her magic
Free use image from Pixabay
As Pegman strode through the forest near Galway, he chanced
on an archetypal scene. An old woman sat spinning near a cottage overgrown with
vines.
“Pegman, do not tell me that you were planning on walking by
without saying hello,” the wizened crone admonished.
“Perish the thought, Yadira,” Pegman replied. “Shall we have
tea?”
Pegman and Yadira sat outside the cottage in two old chairs,
sipping their tea.
“Yadira, I must ask,” Pegman said. “Why can’t you content yourself
to complete your quest in peace? Why are you terrorizing Gerry Clifford? What
happened that day in the hills near Bar-Wul-Yann was certainly not in any way
his fault.”
“I am merely a catalyst, Pegman,” Yadira retorted. “I am a
witch. Witches grant wishes.”
“You are doing more than granting wishes. You are
interfering.”
“You are one to talk, Impartial Observer who does not
content himself with observing impartially,” Yadira retorted.

And now...The Notes!
Bar-Wul-Yann is a location in the 1910 story, Idle Days on the Yann, by Lord Dunsany. Dunsany was a major influence on the writings of H.P. Lovecraft.
Yadira Root is the namesake of the Yadira Chronicles. As Nyarlathotep's daughter, she is a force to be reckoned with.
I have published the first chapter of Yadira's story free on LBRY. The entire story is available for 15 LBC. An LBC is a form of cryptocurrency. As of this writing, its value was a little over $0.04.

Great stuff! I like the idea of Pegman as an individual. Can one ever be an impartial observer, really?
ReplyDeleteInteresting conversation between these "non" interfering parties! I love Lord Dunsany, but I don't think I've read that story, hmm... Reminds me to search out more of his stuff.
ReplyDeleteMagical take on the prompt! I love witchery and myth Thanks Cie
