Re: Little Jew Lost
In reply to Israel Levy (msg # 4):
You feel weight on your shoulder, apparently the little man has returned. <Unfortunately the primary phase of your future is inevitable. It is taking you further into the NeverNever, and it behooves you to cooperate at this juncture. Whatever you do, don't fight it, not here. You might engage it in conversation, if you are wise and cunning, you might be able to get information. That creature's type, although equipped for speaking, does not contain oration or verbal jousting in its skill set. Well, not verbal jousting such as employed by philosophers, per se, or the other type, such as, oh, spies for Mossad would use.>
The little man chuckles as you start a little upon realizing he speaks your language as well as you do, only with less movie quotes, and a larger vocabulary.
<My brother, I am a Gnome. I and my people were once allied with the Summer Court of the fae, but are no longer. Solzhenitsyn wrote about man giving in on principles, even important ones, being it is the easier path. We are striving to walk the high path. Well, normally, I'm afraid I may have to travel the low path right now. I can help you human, but I require help in return.
I will free you at the proper time, it will be in the next area, where that thing is taking you. I'll free you and assist you as I can, and in exchange, you agree to help me and mine. Deal?>
