Howard?

Howard, dear, are you scared?

There's no need to be frightened.

The storm can't hurt you.

It... It's not that, Mother.

It's just... tonight's the night we visit father...

in the bad place.

Oh, Howard.

He's really looking forward to seeing you.

You're all he has left.

Just hold my hand, Howard.

Everything will be fine.

I don't like this place, Mother.

I know, darling.

I don't, either.

But you know why we've come.

I'm certain your father will want to see you

on his birthday.

Good evening, Dr. West.

I received your message.

I know there's been no official change...

but I thought...

my husband could see his son on his birthday.

Mrs. Lovecraft...

...I wish I could tell you that seeing his son

would be therapeutic for your husband, but...

Winfield's mind is... is like a shattered looking glass.

That's a good one.

Shattered...

looking...

...glass.

But, in all honesty,

I'm more concerned about the harm it could do to the boy

to see his father in this state.

But haven't the treatments shown any progress?

Well, don't expect him to tango.

Progress...

is such an inexact term, Mrs. Lovecraft.

Most assuredly we have done everything

within medical boundaries to assist.

Even a few things outside of those...

boundaries, to be honest.

I feel for you.

And the child.

But Winfield is still showing extreme nervous exhaustion,

and nothing is calming him down.

I cannot advise visitation.

I just...

I was hoping on his birthday he could actually see his son.

Oh! Why listen to me? I'm merely a...

highly trained professional with expert opinions

on the secrets of life and death.

I don't know... Whatever am I to do?

Come along, Mrs. Lovecraft.

Come along.

A little fatherly fear never hurt anyone.

Ah, I hear a lot of writers are made that way, in fact.

He's coming.

He' S Qgmih Q!

...King Abdul Alhazred.

He always took care of everything.

Now I'm just lost.

He's coming.

He's coming.

Father?

He's coming!

He' S Qgmih Q!

He' S Qgmih Q!

- He's coming... - Father, it's me.

- He's coming. - It's Howard.

Who's coming?

Abdul Alhazrecl.

King Abdul.

He's coming.

Father...

Please speak to me.

He's coming.

He's...

Howard!

Father.

Howard! Son!

Listen!

Listen to me!

I made a mistake.

No... I discovered it.

A mistake...

A glorious mistake.

Father, I... I miss you.

I miss you so much.

Listen to me, Son.

Listen! But not to King Abdul.

And not to the words.

Don't ever listen to the words!

Or symbols!

The symbols will speak to you.

But do not listen!

Listen...

...to me!

I saw it.

I heard it.

Should never have been written.

Ever! My mistake.

I never should have.

Howard...

The words...

the symbols...

Do not look!

Do not listen!

Do not read!

Father...

Swear it!

King Abdul.

The Necronomicon.

The words.

The symbols.

They will lead to...

to The Sleeper of R'lyeh.

The Great Old One.

That is not dead which can eternal lie.

And with strange aeons even death may die.

Please!

The Necronomicon! Destroy it, Howard!

Destroy it for my sake!

- For yours! - No.

What do you think you're doing?

The last remaining...

The Necronomicon must be destroyed, son.

Hell'!

Orderly!

The symbols must be destroyed!

Before they... destroy us all!

Orderlies!

Swear you'll destroy it!

Cthulhu cannot awake!

Restrain him.

I see the symbols...

...and it's madness.

It's okay, Howard.

Mommy's here.

Madness!

Why did you take him there in the first place?

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have...

No, Mary, you're right.

I'm gonna have to raise Howard alone.

Oh, shh, now.

It's all right.

I'll help you, Sarah.

We all will.

I just worry.

He's always been an odd child.

That imagination of his.

It puts off the other children.

Now all he ever does is sit in his room alone and read.

There's nothing wrong with Howard loving to read.

It's the only reasonable trait my nephew left his son.

Must be in the blood because Winfield was never around.

His incredible curiosity led to ...dark journeys.

Ever since he was boy,

Winfield had a hunger for knowledge.

He was always reading. Always exploring.

I don't think he ever took the same road home twice.

There was always something more to know.

But it never occurred to me,

such a toll that life took on him.

The stories that would come out of his mouth...

grew from strange to utter madness.

Until...

Well, we must deal with what's in front of us,

here and now.

But the worrying...

That he gets from you, Sarah.

He's my son, Mary.

And he gets sick so often.

What kind of mother would I be if I didn't worry?

He's turned a corner, Sarah.

He's much healthier now than he was.

Things will turn out all right in the end, dear.

Just give them a chance to.

Howard will be just fine.

You'll see.

I can't sleep.

I know today was difficult, sweetheart.

But you need to get some sleep.

You're a growing boy.

Your father loves you so much.

Could you tell me a story?

I'm not very good at telling stories.

I have an idea.

What is it?

This was your father's.

I wasn't sure when I was gonna give it to you.

It... it's a book.

It's a journal.

He wrote it a long time ago.

Back when he was well.

Before his nervous exhaustion?

Yes.

He told me how he wanted you to have it.

You're... sure I can read this?

You can read it until you fall asleep,

if you like.

All right, Mother.

I love you, Howard.

Every inch of my soul cried out,

pleading with me to leave that place.

But...

I was powerless to leave,

spellbound by the tales of horrific beings

bent on tearing our world apart

to make room for their own.

To leave us behind...

like scattered animals...

from the brushfire ...of their madness.

His words were blasphemous,

yet they caressed my senses

in an inexplicably sensuous fashion,

so that I hung on ever word

as I listened-enrapb-

it was his final words

that awakened me from my stupor.

"It is all true."

"A place called R'lyeh,"

a dour profane kingdom hidden from the eyes of man.

He described R'lyeh as an unholy marriage

of fairy tales and nightmares.

The old man said that he dare not utter the words

that open the doorway to the mystical place.

He had a look you could call fear, but it was something deeper.

A crack at the core of him

that leaked darkness into every expression.

He was genuinely afraid,

but for those of weaker stuff

the excitement of new horizons to come

would always bring terror.

For his horror only drove me on.

"Making me long for the place even more."

Suddenly emboldened, I drew my pistol on the old boy.

At the service end of my firearm,

the frightened man wrote the words

in the creatures' unsanctified language.

They were...

"N r' Fga' Ra' nazen

Flugn..."

Hello?

Am I dreaming?

I... I see something.

What is that?

[ Screaming I

L-Irnrrl?

Wow!

[ Birds squawking I

Whoa.

What is this place?

[ Birds squawking I

[ Grunts I

Could this be real?

Easy!

Stand down!

Stand down!

Hey, what did I just say?

Okay.

Okay.

[ Grunts I

[ Roars I

[ Roars I

I-Irnrrl?

[ Roars I

[ Grunt"!!! I

[ Roars I

[ Grunts I

Oh!

Ah!

Hell'!

[ Grunts I

Can anyone help?

No!

You just tried to kill me.

Wing... broke.

Help Thu.

Don't want fall.

Help, help!

Thu made mistake.

I'm no PUP-

My name is Howard.

Yes, Howard.

Howard strong.

Hell?-

Please!

Do something!

Give me your word as a-a-a fish thing

that you won't hurt me.

Swear!

Howard, swear.

Here. Give me your... your...

Uh, take my hand!

Eww!

Pull!

Hold on.

I've got your hand-tentacle-thing.

Almost there.

Pull yourself up!

[ Roars I

Save life.

You master.

Me, Thu Thu Hmong.

Su Su Hwang?

Thu Thu Hmong.

Su-Su-Sussudio?

Thu... Thu.. Hmong.

I literally have no idea what you're saying.

I'm gonna call you...

...Spot.

Spot.

Shot?

Spot.

Master Howard.

Hey! You promised!

Master cold.

Spot makes warm.

Uh, thank you?

I need to get back home.

My mother... and my father need me.

[ Grunts I

ls your mom a squid?

Or wait...

She was a dragon, right?

L-Irnrrl?

[ Flapping 1

[ Grunts I

[ Grunts I

Oh, Sire!

Who nobody wants.

The mighty ruler of a thousand skies.

I have news.

Go on.

Please, do tell.

Your Majesty, I...

I think he has arrived, Sire.

He?

As in "he" from the prophecy?

Yes, appeared...

in the heart of a storm,

out of nowhere, as if leaped from the other realm.

Just as the book foretold.

Eh, before the book was lost.

A boy?

You're sure it's a boy?

Oh, positive, Sire.

He's so... so pink.

Where is he now?

He encountered The Sleeping One.

They appeared to be traveling together.

Good.

But where are they going?

Uh, I don't know, Your Majesty.

You said to announce it ...at once.

If the outlander arrived...

And well, he did.

Uh, so I did.

I did say that.

Well done.

Really?

Yes.

Now, go back out there and find them.

That shouldn't be too hard for the likes of you.

Please do keep an eye on guests.

I want to make sure they arrive here

safe and sound.

At once,

Your Highness.

[ Grunts I

'swan?

Yes?

Where are we exactly?

R'lyeh

And that's a place?

Is it?

R'lyeh.

Even more helpful the second time.

Thank you, Spot.

Where Master from?

Oh, well, my home is Providence, Rhode Island.

That's where I need to go.

Where Providence, Rhode Island?

Um, it's in New England?

New England.

You've never heard of it?

Have heard of it.

Really?

Master said it.

So, you've just heard of it right now?

Yes.

Really not helpful.

No.

Master here now.

Master safe.

So, uh, any idea how we can get back to my home?

Friends... close.

Go.

[ Grunts I

Eat.

Hello?

Hello?

I hope we're not interrupting anything.

My friend Spot says you were friends of his.

Friends.

Right.

You call him...

'Is p°t'.?

Well, yeah. He does have spots on him.

I see.

What do you want?

Shot?

Friends provide Master Howard food.

- Uh... - Mmm, warm?

I see.

What does that make us?

Favor.

Very well.

Oh, thank you very much.

You're not from here.

No, I... I'm not.

I'm very far from home.

I've forgotten my manners.

I'm Gotha.

And this is my brother Davik.

He doesn't speak.

Do come in.

It's as he says,

it'll be night soon.

It gets very cold.

I would believe that.

What about Spot?

Sorry.

I'm afraid he'll have to stay outside.

Spot is fine.

Body not get cold.

Well, all right.

If you say so.

Whoa!

Sorry?

Your home.

It's so big in here.

Of course, it is.

Is that strange to you?

Where I'm from...

our buildings are the same size on the outside and the inside.

Fascinating.

You have dark circles under your eyes.

- Huh? - I love food.

Are you Father Dagon?

Oh, I forgot my manners. How rude of me.

I'm Howard.

Howard Lovecraft.

Wh... What?

Is that okay?

Of course.

Is that a common name where you're from?

Sure, lots of boys are named Howard.

I mean Lovecraft.

Oh! No. Just me.

Why?

This is lnnes, and this is Twi'i.

Did you know a shoggoth can crush a penguin?

I love fruit!

But not sticky ones.

Davik, take your sisters, and you can all go

wash your suckers.

It's almost time for supper.

Forgive us.

We don't get too many visitors.

But you've met someone like me before?

- Yes. - Who?

What was he like?

Oh, he was a giddy young man.

And very curious about things.

He talked very quickly

and about a great many things.

He was very keen to explore.

He wanted to see everything.

Do you remember his name?

It was a peculiar sort of name, like yours.

Not a proper name like Gotha or Davik.

Warhol... winegrass?

Winfield?

That was it!

That's my father.

My father was here!

So he was.

How curious to meet two Lovecrafts

on the same path.

When? When did you meet him?

I can't be sure.

The winter has lasted... so long.

Would your parents know perhaps?

They... haven't been home in a very long time.

Oh! I'm sorry. I didn't know.

It's just when you said you'd seen my father, I...

I got excited.

He's not himself anymore.

[ Claps hands I

Over and up.

Up and over.

Dinner incoming.

I love food!

I hope it's squishy.

Can't quite sit right.

Don't worry.

Winfield had issues with sitting too.

His legs also bent in only one direction.

No bending legs?

How do you squiggle around?

Or slime up a wall?

Or squish in a crack to hide from bad guys?

- Squishing is my favorite. - Mine too.

It's like squeezing, but...

Slrosser!

Food time now!

Manners with company.

We thank the meal first.

Everyone has washed their tentacles?

At least half of them.

One is super-clean.

The other stays dirty,

in case I need to use it for surprise attacks.

Who are you attacking?

That's a surprise!

I don't know about... the tentacles,

but my ten fingers are sparkling.

Because it's... Hands clean.

Then grab hold, and we'll start the meal.

Thank you, Dark Ones, and long may you sleep.

Thank you, Small Ones, and those that we eat.

Take the cold,

bring back the green.

Save us from creatures evil and mean.

Ferak Ny'har.

Ferak Nahar... wait, what?

Ready.

So ready!

Ready.

Ready for what?

I like it.

Don't worry. We'll make sure you get some.

It's hard to catch your first try.

You don't get gran where you're from?

Uh, no.

Not really.

Where I'm from, we eat green veggies.

And farm animals.

It squishes in my mouth!

Howard, tell us of these "fahar" animals.

Oh, we keep the bigger animals in special areas.

We drink their milk, wear their hides,

and eat their meat.

I'm not sure about the rest.

How destructive these creatures must be,

that you have to devour them.

Elder Ones forbid that they ever invade us.

Oh, they're very gentle.

We keep animals as pets too.

We're not supposed to play with our food.

I name my food.

I should call this next bite Howard for our guest.

That's very sweet of you, Twi'i.

Yeah.

Flattered.

How is it that I can talk to you?

Did someone teach you English?

Not exactly.

We share what we call a lanaf.

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 my power!

Could my father lanite?

Lanai.

Yeah, that.

Could my father do that?

Oh, my!

His was particularly strong.

He would channel us from many miles away.

Some nights, I swear, I can still hear him.

You should try it.

Just focus and listen.

La la, squidgy-

Well, all of you have been really nice so far.

So is 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 night-gaunts?

Don't like them.

All sharp and shadows.

And there's tons of them.

It's okay, 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

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 than you can ever imagine.

If you wake them,

there might never be a chance of you getting back home.

Well...

I mean, I can 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 is 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 anymore.

He has seen things,

things that changed him.

Wha... 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"

until you find your way home.

Okay.

Good night, Howard Lovecraft.

Sleep well.

Good night.

[ Yawns I

Whoa.

"Mm-"

What?

[ Yells I

Howard, are you all right?

Mm'

Did you dream?

I think so.

It just got a little bit jumbled in my head.

Dreams often do.

Are you ready to begin the day?

Mm-hm.

Then, I wish you luck, Howard Lovecraft.

And a safe journey.

Hey, Howard, you left your dinner.

Can I eat it?

Bye, Howard. Travel safe.

We'll miss you.

Good morning, Spot.

Morning, Master Howard.

Spot, is there a great big castle somewhere?

Maybe in that direction?

Yes.

Good.

Take me there, please.

Why?

I saw it in my dream. Seemed pretty important.

Yes.

Let's get a move on.

[ Grunts I

[ Grunts I

"mm-"

[ Grunts I

Master?

Yes, Spot?

Where you come from?

What do you mean?

How your land different?

Oh, that's easy.

I mean, it's not like this all the time.

We get snow too,

but we only get a little bit and only in the winter.

A bit?

Um!

Well, a bit would be a lot less snow than this.

This?

I mean, here it just goes on forever and ever.

But where I'm from,

I'm lucky if we get enough snow to cancel school.

Or... not that it matters.

Not matter?

Because when I'm at school,

I see all of the other children being friends with each other.

None of them wanna be friends with me.

Why?

Because I'm,

you know, different.

Everybody in my family worries, all the time, about me

or... or my father.

We don't take a lot of time to play.

Children should play.

Play?

I don't play at all, really.

I like to read. I like to read a lot.

I love books.

Why?

Books tell amazing stories.

I read them for hours at a time.

I've even tried writing a few stories of my own,

believe it or not.

But books and proper stories, they take you places.

Although most of them don't actually take you

to another dimension.

Come here?

Yeah. It was a book my father wrote,

and I left it on my bed in my room.

Oh, no. What am I gonna do?

Master, Spot help.

H Qw?

Book take you hear,

book take you home.

How can you guess a thing like that?

Spot smart.

Book is key.

A book!

I saw a book in my dream last night.

It was in front of a huge door.

Then?

I was just about to get the book, and then something grabbed me.

I'm just not sure what the door was for,

keeping me out or keeping something in.

I miss my parents. I wanna go home.

We'll find it.

Hope so, but first things first. We have to get to the castle.

Agree, Master Howard. Want more.

We've talked about me a lot. What about you?

Do you have any family?

What family?

You have to have a mom and dad.

Some brothers and sisters.

Can't be all alone out here.

R'lyeh not like New England.

Many alone.

Family not for helping.

Family dangerous. Family scary.

Yeah, sometimes my family can be pretty scary,

but that doesn't mean

I don't wanna go back for them.

I've never been away for this long before.

Master Howard is sad.

Play make happy? Show Spot play?

Well, in a place like this with all this snow,

I could see them building a lot of snow men.

Snow men?

Haven't you ever built a snow man before?

No.

What do you think? You like it?

Simulacrum.

What? What's a simulacrum?

A copy of Master Howard.

Oh. I do know that word.

Spot, you really are smart.

You should try making one of yourself.

[ Laughs I

Nice snow, Spot... Spot.

More play.

[ Laughs I

[ Grunts I

[ Grunts I

Dodge this.

[ Grunts I

15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20...

21, 22, 23, 24, 25. Hey!

Uh.

1, 2...

Huh?

[ Laughs I

[ rlums I

Oh. Uh-oh.

- Master Howard! - Hello.

Master Howard!

Hi, Spot!

No, no, no, no. No'.!

[ Grunts I

Oh.

Whoa.

R'lyeh.

I guessed that, big guy.

This where the king lives?

Not king, but powerful.

Master?

- Go? - Uh, oh. Yes. Yes.

L-I don't know, Spot. Are you sure?

Yes.

Welcome.

Huh.

It's not what I imagined.

Imagine?

Yeah. I thought in my head it would be,

I don't know, cleaner?

It is creepy and really dirty.

There's no one here.

Is someone gonna come out to greet us,

or are we supposed to just walk in?

You have no idea, do you?

Nope.

This feels odd, doesn't it?

Hey, Spot, quick question.

I mean, shouldn't there be people or creatures in this place?

Hm?

Hm!

Mm!

Whoa.

I got a bad feeling about this.

Hi. I'm Howard Lovecraft.

I'm hoping someone can help me.

Spot, they have weapons.

[ Sniffs I

Mm-hm.

[ Roars I

No!

This cannot be good.

[ Grunts I

Howard!

I know you promised to get me out of the cold

and into someplace warm...

...but, Spot...

Yes?

Being cooked alive was not in my mind!

Spot! Get us out of here!

You have idea?

[ Grunts I

shot?

[ Grunts I

shot?

[ Grunts I

Got you, Master Howard.

Well done, Spot.

Now you do.

What?

Big breath.

I cannot do that.

- No?

All I can do is puff up my cheeks.

Like this.

Hmph.

Bi!!! big breath?

That won't work, Spot.

Shot?

Now would be a good time to hurry.

Yes.

Whoa!

Snot! Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa-oh!

Free.

Arrows?

You okay?

Not haPPy-

Can you take them all out?

Yes.

Hmm. Efficient.

Algid Bunk would like to apologize

for the... misunderstanding.

Misunderstanding? You tried to cook us!

You almost shot me, and you hit Spot.

Not now.

Algid will see you now.

Do I have a choice?

Meet Algid, Master Howard.

This way.

Everyone friendly.

I'm gonna pretend you did not say that.

Uh, before you meet Algid Bunk,

you must be briefed in the proper conduct.

Listen up, Spot.

When you meet her,

you will not address her until she addresses you.

You hear that?

Never approach Algid.

She will summon you closer

...if she desires.

Listen closely.

- I know. - Oh.

Now, be silent.

We enter Algid's court.

It's amazing.

I present to you Thu Thu Hmong and-

Howard. Howard Lovecraft.

- And his companion, Howard Lovecraft.

Have waited a lifetime for the prophecy

to finally come true.

A strange visitor from a distant world

arrives out of nowhere?

What fortuitous luck that brought you

and Thu Thu Hmong together.

Tell me, Howard Lovecraft,

are you the one spoken of in our lost book?

Lost book?

Will you save our kingdom from this endless winter?

Hey, you're, uh... you're human, like me.

You have broken the rules of the court!

Lower your weapons at once.

Howard is our guest.

I am Algid Bunk.

Hi, Algid Bunk.

It is truly a pleasure to meet you, Howard.

I understand you've been making men out of snow.

That's simply astonishing.

They do it all the time where I'm from.

Your powers are amazing.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness.

Thank you for not letting him kill me, by the way.

You're quite welcome.

[ Laughs I

We've been expecting you for quite some time now,

you know?

- Really? - Of course.

Please, join me in my chambers. I'll explain everything.

Can I bring Spot with me?

What?

I don't..

I'm not familiar with this word Spot.

You know, I mean, him.

Thu Thu is Spot is he?

Very well,

Spot may join us.

Come on, Spot. Here, boy.

[ Grunts I

Do you see all this, Howard?

Yes, it's very beautiful.

Yes, it is.

And yet it's merely a painful reflection

of R'lyeh's former glory.

R'lyeh?

My kingdom, yes.

You see, it was not always this place of ice and desolation.

That's like something Spot said.

He said the snow's been around for a long time.

A long time.

Yes, that is an understatement.

But I don't understand.

If it was nice before, what happened?

Long ago, R'lyeh was the most beautiful kingdom

under the two suns.

Mere words could not capture its beauty.

It was so good, the poet Abdul Alhazred said

the citizens forgot there is bad in the world,

lest we forget.

The people of R'lyeh had created a cosmic good,

but when the foolish forget

There is darkness in the world...

...a cosmic evil can arise.

Ignoring the wise words of Abdul, the darkness grew.

By the time R'lyeh accepted there was evil,

it was too late.

A water being,

an Ancient One,

rose from the depths.

Cthulhu was spawned.

Cthulhu and his hordes, hidden in green, slimy vaults,

sunk the city of R'lyeh,

flooding the once-great kingdom.

R'lyeh became a nightmare corpse city

built by the vast, loathsome shapes

that seeped down from the dark stars.

The citizens believed that if they could

take away the water

that Cthulhu would lose his power.

In an act of desperation,

the citizens of R'lyeh froze their kingdom.

Cthulhu was gone.

[ Roars I

But our beautiful kingdom had become our frozen prison.

No one knows if this story is true,

but we all agree

if there's a way to end this mind-numbing coldness,

we would do anything.

You see, Howard, it was not only the land that froze that day,

time itself came to a halt.

Days have passed,

months, even years,

but nothing has changed, nothing at all.

Until your father arrived.

He journeyed the entire land, our kingdom included,

writing about his findings.

He rediscovered the powerful runes

the people of R'lyeh used so long ago

to freeze our kingdom.

He wrote and drew these lost secrets

into three books.

One of the books, we believe the second book,

was stolen from your father by an Elder thing.

It has been deep underground with his shoggoth ever since.

What's a shoggoth?

It is a terrible, indescribable thing.

A shapeless conjuries of protoplasmic bubbles

with myriads of temporary eyes forming and unforming,

quite nasty.

Ew.

So these books that my father wrote,

what were in them?

All manner of things.

These books are powerful,

as they are filled with secrets, runes,

and symbols of power.

I believe we can bring our kingdom back

to the way it was before this frozen nightmare descended on us.

Abdul Alhazred, many called him King Abdul,

prophesized that a stranger from a distant land would arrive

to thaw our frozen kingdom.

When you arrived I felt...

I felt hope for the first time since...

We cannot reclaim it ourselves,

for we are trapped inside this frozen kingdom,

and it is the only way to stop this never-ending winter.

Bring me the book, Howard. Do what no one else can.

Do you think it could be used to get me home?

I'm sure it can.

After this winter is ended.

I think you've got yourself a deal, Your Majesty.

To take this book from the shoggoth,

I'll need to know a lot more about him.

And I have another request.

Do tell.

What?

I said that I'll get the book back from the shoggoth.

She said that it was the only way to restore their kingdom

and end this long winter.

And it made sense,

since they can't leave until it does.

Too dangerous.

That's why I said I can only do it on one condition.

What?

That you go with me.

What?

Best of all, she said yes.

No.

Yes, she did.

Good night.

The book!

Ah!

Ah.

Master Howard.

Up, Master Howard.

Must go.

It was just a dreamed...

Howard Lovecraft,

may the wind be at your back.

We will hold you in our thoughts

until your triumphant return from the shoggoth.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

All right, Spot. Come along.

La di da.

La di da.

Oh, Spot, there's no need to be angry.

Have to go with Master Howard?

Well, yeah. Of course you do.

Angry.

Not speaking.

Well, now you're just being childish.

Still not speaking.

This looks like the mountains we already came from.

No one goes to mountains.

And why is that?

No legend now.

If book anywhere, it is in mountains.

How much further, Spot?

More.

I'm happy you're speaking to me again.

I was beginning to think you...

I think I see the cave!

I think we found it.

What is that?

That must be the shoggoth.

Ew.

It's hideous.

What? It is.

All we have to do is sneak in, grab the book,

and sneak out.

Spot, you're not gonna fit.

Cave too small.

You stay here, I'll get the book,

and I'll come right back.

We have a deal with the King.

She not King.

Well, who was the last king?

King Abdul.

Very bad.

Abdul the poet?

Abdul many things.

Not poet.

Magic.

Dark.

Well, we have a kingdom to save,

even if the King isn't home right now.

Careful, Master Howard.

Cave dangerous.

[ Grunts I

Ew, it smells in here.

What stinks?

Ew.

Oh, DOY-

Ew!

[ Yells I

Yeah! Woo hoo!

Yeah! Whoo hoo!

Whoo!

Tekeli-li.

La di da.

Tekeli-li.

Tekeli-li.

Tekeli-Ii.

I found it, Spot!

Tekeli-li.

That was easy.

Now let's get out of here before the shoggoth...

- Tekeli-Ii. - Ah!

Hey! Augh!

"Mm-"

Who dares disturb the sleep of shoggoth?

Ah!

Tell me, before I crush you.

Ah!

You dare?

Ah!

Tell me who you are.

You want to know who I am?

I am Howard Lovecraft.

Hmm. Lovecraft.

This name is known to me.

H Qw?

You are not the first pale young mortal of that name

to venture here.

Then my father...

Yes, the other one looked much the same as you.

And he was every bit as curious.

He sought an audience with the Deep One.

His hunger for knowledge had no equal.

Why else would he journey so deep?

[ Laughs I

What did you tell him?

I gave to him words.

Words of power.

Words that would break clown the walls between worlds.

Words that would burn up his mind if he dwelled on them.

But Why?

So the fool Lovecraft could spread my words out

among the stars,

let the walls between worlds come tumbling down

and let the slumbering Deep Ones rise.

Since you have found your way here,

he must have succeeded.

Um, no.

What do you mean, "no"?

We, that's me and Spot,

we just came here to borrow this book.

Shot?

Hm!

Your Spot, does he have wings?

Yes.

And his face, covered in tentacles?

Uh, yes.

[ Laughs I

That is Cthulhu.

You are calling him "Spot"?

[ Laughs I

He is my friend!

No, he is not your friend.

He is the Sleeper of R'lyeh.

He is the Destroyer of Worlds.

I have opened the door,

but you woke him up

and have brought him through.

Shot!

You promised him this will work.

Yes.

And you are sure it is this... Howard?

Our fate rests in the hands of one child.

The child is not alone.

[ Laughs I

Thu Thu Hmong,

or should I say "Spot"?

Surely, you jest.

The Great One will awake from his slumber

and will devour Howard the first chance he gets.

But for now, the Great One is helping him.

That is the plan.

Centuries have passed in this icy prison.

No one has been able to cross the barrier between worlds,

until he came.

Azathoth will be pleased,

if Howard Lovecraft is actually the key.

Howard needs to bring back the balance.

I can feel the balance wants to be brought back

in all of its glory as well.

Our kingdom will be restored through the Crawling Chaos,

but the boy...

will not live to see it.

[ Grunts I

Spot!

Master Howard!

Help me!

Spot!

I gave your father the key to open the door.

You turned that key...

and released the cosmic evil.

The Elder Ones are free,

led by the Great Old One,

Cthulhu,

Your.__

Spot.

[ Laughs I

Your role in history is complete.

I want to savor this moment, Howard Lovecraft.

And I shall savor it after I gobble you up

and slowly digest you over a thousand years.

Master Howard!

Put him down. Now!

Thank heavens.

Master Howard!

[ Roars I

[ Yells I

Shot!

No!

Snot. no!

You ate my friend!

No. He is no friend.

I have not stopped the Great Old One.

He is too powerful.

When the Sleeper finally does awake,

then Cthulhu will eat you himself.

Cthulhu is the Destroyer of Worlds!

Yo w, e wrong.

Spot is not a monster.

He's my friend.

Enough of this.

I have delayed long enough.

You are no one, Howard Lovecraft,

and you have nothing,

nothing in this world to save you.

Ah!

The Elder Sign!

No!

[ Grunts I

Spot.

Snot! Spot!

Spot, oh, thank heavens you're all right.

[ Grunts I

We did it!

I can't believe we did it.

You are all right, aren't you?

Yes.

All right.

"Mm-"

I can feel the warmth already.

[ Grunts I

Oh. Ah!

[ Grunts I

[ Laughs I

Question, Master Howard.

What's that, Spot?

I was worried he'd eat you.

Well, it didn't.

Thank you.

You saved me.

Next time, though, we might not be so lucky.

L" Lucky?

Yeah. I showed this horrible monster

that thing in my pocket,

and he froze in fear.

Thing?

This.

- Ah! - Whoa!

Whoa!

What is it, Spot?

What happened?

Elder Sign.

Here, in R'lyeh,

words have power.

Symbols, more power.

Elder Sign, greatest power.

It's just a necklace.

Where find?

It was given to me.

Powerful gift.

They care for you.

Wow.

Elder Sign is great power.

Careful.

Book also has power.

Make Algid return you home.

You don't think she would just let me go?

Maybe.

Promises in R'lyeh are weak.

What?

But you just saved me.

Aren't you...?

I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm very glad you didn't.

We play in snow.

Make men of snow.

We are friends.

Friends not eat each other.

Yeah. We're on the same page there.

Unless they get very hungry.

Shot!

You told a joke.

[ Laughs I

Yes. Good one?

Yeah.

Am I dreaming?

Can it really be?

No more suffering, my subjects!

We are finally free!

Oh, this is just the absolute best day.

Let the kingdom of R'lyeh rejoice.

Know how I fooled a Lovecraft from my true identity.

Let us restore balance!

Let the Sleeper awake and destroy Howard Lovecraft!

Spot, what's going on?

Stay close, Master Howard.

I shall take control.

I shall no longer be the plaything of fate.

With this book and this beast,

I shall unite all of the realities as one.

Ay hey Cthulhu,

Sarad Shug.

Kaddath a'thui R'lol'...

Naga sha'og.

Si ha om yar.

What are they?

I wa gun Cthulhu.

I wa gun Cthulhu.

Oo ah!

Ah hey Cthulhu,

Sarad Shug!

Master Howard, get away.

Get away from me!

Spot, they're words.

- ...Naga sha'og. - Run.

Master Howard. Go! Home!

It's some sort of spell. Just fight them.

- Master Howard, - ALGID: Ay hey Cthulhu...

get away.

- Sarad Shug. - Get away from me!

Kaddath a Cthulhu...

- R'lor. - Can't... control... anger.

Naga sha'og.

Run, Master Howard.

See ha oh ya

I cannot control.

- I... am... changing. - ...Cthulhu.

I wa gun Cthulhu. 0o ah!

Shot?

What the...? Hey!

Shot?

Algid, what did you do to Spot?

We can restore the cosmic good to R'lyeh.

You allowed me to restore the balance,

but it's not cosmic good I'm restoring.

I released the evil long ago, and they froze everything.

You saw this slumbering destroyer as a pet.

And this magnificent book of knowledge

as nothing but a ticket home.

I have vision beyond this realm

that your simple mind could never hope to grasp.

I am the beast that haunts your father's dreams.

I am the shadow that shall bring your doom.

I am the poet that warned them.

I arn King.

I am Abdul Alhazred!

When I wake your precious Spot,

when the Sleeper of R'lyeh awakes,

I will control the power of Cthulhu.

L, Cthulhu!

Thank you, Howard Lovecraft.

I am not some simple villain

hoping to hold onto a pathetic scrap of frozen earth.

I don't just want a kingdom, Howard.

I want every kingdom.

Across the black sea of infinity, there are monsters.

Witness!

The Ancient One is awake!

The Great and Powerful Cthulhu is here!

Let your mind go mad!

It makes no difference.

I shall rule all of R'lyeh

or see it shattered before me!

This is our kingdom too!

Oh!

Ah! Insolence!

I will make you suffer!

Hold on, Spot.

Here, Howard.

A Lovecraft knows what to do with this.

There's gotta be something in here.

Ah! Get the book!

Pthagn Cthulhu.

Azhign.

Kisn ubshug.

Obutushay.

Zeoro!

[ Grunts I

[ Roars I

Attack!

Surround them!

[ Yells I

We got him!

I slapped the bad guy!

Yeah, a whole buncha times.

None of these words make sense.

Get the book!

[ Roars I

la thugna.

Shug pen gift.

P'on gwen.

Ah!

Nope.

[ Grunts I

[ Roars I

[ Grunts I

Ah! Get the book!

Ya ool bathoo. Ba'al mag. Gan ai shug. Ooa!

That's my room! That's my home!

Run!

Master Howard, go!

No.

I'm not leaving any of you.

Davik!

Stay away from him!

[ Grunts I

[ Grunts I

Tell me, Howard,

are you afraid of the dark?

Because my darkness has no fear of you.

In fact, I think it wants you to join it.

No!

Just close your eyes and slip into its abyss.

Howard, go to your home before it's too late!

Oowai galago um. Ya Nog Shug. Ooa!

The Elder Sign! Put it away.

Give me that.

No... Whoa!

Get back to the shadows!

Get back!

No! Spot!

You cannot defeat me with that.

That is not dead which can eternal lie.

And with strange aeons, even death may die.

Give me that.

Your father tried to recreate Al Azif,

but the Necronomicon he created isn't even close.

His feeble attempt at writing a version made him mad.

This is not my final form.

I shall return,

and you'll never see me coming!

This is not a victory for you, Howard,

this is only a delay of the inevitable!

Spot, are... are you okay?

Please tell me you're not hurt.

IIII amn-

Spot.

The people of R'lyeh will know of Algid's deception,

and she will no longer have any power over them.

I don't want to leave you guys.

We've won!

Time to go.

You... you squid kids.

I love yoll 911375-

You have a great family.

Always stick together.

Take care of each other.

Howard, when you learn more about the writings in the book,

you can come back.

For now, you have to go.

Bye, Howard!

I ate your dinner.

I'll miss you, Howard.

Thank you, Thu Thu Hmong.

Not Spot?

Thu Thu Hmong, Spot, I will never forget you.

I will never forget you, Master Howard.

I will try to come back.

I will miss you all.

[ Grunts I

[ Grunts I

Mother!

Are you sure about this, Howard?

I want to give him this gift.

Well, while I am a doctor,

I also am fascinated with the relationship

between medicine and the occult.

Your father claims he went to a strange land.

And we know he came back... different.

He's told me his stories.

They are maddening.

So imaginative, yet so clear.

The most merciful thing in the world

is the inability of the human mind

to correlate all its contents.

Hello, Father.

Howard?

I have something for you.

[ Laughs I

You did it!

You did it, my buy!

You closed the portal to R'lyeh!

[ Laughs I

I hope you can rest now, Father.

My evil deed is undone.

Thank you, my 50V-

Thank you.

Now I can get better.

I love you, Father.

Your father's mind...

had seen too much, you see.

His journey to the kingdom of madness

took him to the edge of these endless waters.

Be careful, Howard.

You have helped your father,

you have helped him a great deal.

And he will now be able to get better,

but...

I fear... your journey has just begun.

[ Bird squawking I

Good night, my sweet.

Good night, Mother.

Sweet dreams, Howard.

They will be, Mother. They will be.

I will learn your secrets,

no matter how long it takes me.

I will see my friends

and I will go hack to R'lyeh,

for there the dark elements of strength...

...solitude, ...solitude,

grotesqueness, and ignorance

combine to form the perfection of the hideous.
