The Fox and The Wolf

Susi and his wife had just had three children, but the wife died in childbirth. Susi was a man humbled by years of bad deeds for which he had repented in the name of Kaccana. He knew that he would be unable to care for his children and also provide for them, so he needed to find someone to babysit. In his small town in the snowy lands which he lived, he began looking for a suitable candidate, rejecting multiple people because he did not think that their stories were good enough for his precious babies. Eventually, he came upon an entity who provided a story of a young fox that looked after a wolf’s cubs. “In some ways, may I say this story is like you an’ I” the entity proclaimed to Susi “Foxes to Wolves are much like Angels to Gods in that they are similar but very different. So maybe though you are no God I can be a fox that shall look after your cubs.” This story was simply adorable, so Susi agreed to let the entity look after his precious children and went out hunting.

Susi hunted for a while, and after a time, he returned with some fresh horsemeat for his children. He wished to visit with his children, but the entity told him they were sleeping and should not be disturbed, so trusting his new babysitter he went off to hunt again. The entity knew that with Susi gone, he could begin his real agenda for a soul of such power rarely cares for the needs of beings. The entity was no angel and instead a demon by the name of Säälimätön. The demon decided to eat the meat that had been meant for the children he was supposed to be taking care of—for good measure, he decided to eat one of the children, too.

Days passed as Susi continued to hunt, and Säälimätön decided that now that he had eaten one, he might as well keep going and quickly feasted on the remaining children. The father returned and wished to go in to see his children, yet he was tricked again by the entity as it claimed they had left the house to pay in the town. The man and the demon walked to town as the demon knew anger would get the better of Susi and his agenda would be complete. Realising his children were nowhere to be found Susi grabbed the demon in a fit of anger attempting to question the entity off his children’s whereabouts, but when a damned being touches an entity it allows them to be dragged down to the depths of hell where they belong.

Susi was dragged to Mortem, a land of despair, for the wrong doings he ad committed, yet his soul became a conflict amongst the entities of power as this man had repented. The universe however is cruel, and fairness is not a common trait.
