Howard Lovecraft & the Frozen Kingdom Page #5

---

We share what we call a lanaath.

Munch, munch. Food, food.

Eat-a one, then eat-a brood.

It kinda means...

"Transmission" would be the right word.

We can speak without speaking.

It's rather special that

you can do it, really.

Worship me! Tell your people of my power!

Could my father lanite?

Lanaath.

Yeah, that.

- Could my father do that?

- Oh, my, yes.

His was particularly strong.

He would chat with us from many miles away.

Some nights I swear I can still hear him.

You should try it. Just focus and listen.

Yum, yum, squishy.

Well, all of you have

been really nice so far.

So was Spot.

I mean, he was scary at first, but he...

There are bad things out there, Howard.

Badder than I know how to tell you.

R'lyeh has many creatures.

Some hidden, some waiting.

All fierce and powerful in ways

that you can't imagine.

That's right, Davik, like Shoggoth.

He's got a big mouth.

What about Nythgon?

Don't like them, all sharp and shadows.

And there's tons of them.

It's OK, twins. We don't mention his name.

You know that.

He hasn't been seen for a long, long time.

Nothing to worry about.

So what you're saying is,

stay out of the darkness?

What we're saying is,

this world may look cool and peaceful

but you have to be very careful, Howard.

Your father, he was curious.

He liked to explore.

Perhaps he saw too much of our world.

There are things that can harm you

in more ways that you can ever imagine.

If you wake them, there might never be

a chance of you getting back home.

Well...

I mean, I could be grumpy

when I wake up, too.

No, it's more than that, Howard.

The One Who Sleeps, Cthulhu.

The Great Dreamer.

The Sleeper of R'lyeh.

There are ancient creatures here, Howard.

He's the king of them.

The power you need to go home

may be strong enough to wake him.

You have to be very

careful in your travels.

You have to be even more careful

of who you call your friend.

It tastes really good

when they wiggle, right?

Yeah, it's...

So good.

Thank you so much

for taking me in for the night.

- I really appreciate it.

- Of course.

It's the least we can do

for an ally of Thu Thu Hmong.

He's a friend.

Well, for now.

Howard, I want to talk to you

about something very important.

I'm afraid that this place

isn't safe for you.

Remember how you told me of your father?

When I met him,

he was bright, curious, eager.

The man you told me about

isn't that person any more.

He has seen things.

Things that changed him.

What do you mean?

I will shelter you here for the night,

but in the morning,

you should make every effort to get home

as quickly as possible.

I don't know how to get back.

Then you should definitely stay with Spot
