Geschichte
A lot of strange things have happened to Natsuo lately. His two-year-old daughter said that she and a few other children in the care of the nanny had appeared a pretty woman and she said that none of the children of the night was allowed to be outside otherwise she would take this naughty child with her.
However, the responsible nanny claims to have not noticed anything from a woman.
The next day, the mayor's little son was untraceable.
Weeks later, in winter, a beautiful young woman appeared to him in a dream who warned him of a devastating snowstorm. Natsuo decided to follow the warning and also warned the rest of the people in his village, but some called him crazy. Only a few days later, when he had just finished winterizing his house and yard, a terrible snowstorm came up, which lasted for several days.
Since that day, this mysterious woman was feared by Natsuo's village and brought her offerings there.
