Long long ago ...

Such a clear night with scattered stars adorns the sky of the village of Tanee. Hela Valrick, the mother of a beautiful daughter of Gilda Valrick, invited her people to spend the night together. That village field by lighting a bonfire that warmed them amid the cold of the snow that enveloped the surroundings.

"No, no. You don't have to bring any food. I have prepared enough meat for all of us. My husband brought six wild boars from the game this afternoon. So we're roasting together, ok?!" said Hela.

"Ah, you've always been like this to us. We don't know how to repay your kindness to Mrs. Valrick. After all, Mr. Emmett seemed tired after hunting. We became increasingly worried about his health," said one of the residents.

"We're all a family. No need to feel uncomfortable. My husband is such a tough guy that you don't have to worry about him."

The smiles emanating from the villagers described the peace at that time. The kids are having fun too. They run around freely and joke with each other without worrying about their parents.

Boom

A banging sound from a distance made all residents silent from their activities, and the atmosphere fell silent instantly.

"Emmett, what's that sound?" panicked began to Hela felt when she heard the unusual voice.

"It seems to be coming from a northerly direction, Hela. I'll take a look."

Some residents ignored the voice. They then continued their activities. Finally, however, Hela saw that her daughter was paying attention to something that made her amazed.

"Gilda, what are you looking at, dear?" asked Hela to the child on her lap.

"Eyes...," Gilda pointed towards the back of the house of one of the residents. At that time, Gilda was not very fluent in speaking. However, the girl is very good at expressing something she feels or sees. Hela wrinkled her forehead in confusion at what Gilda meant. She didn't see anything her daughter was aiming at.

"Mom, the eyes are yellow. It's there..."

Residents who heard Gilda's words were also curious about what she saw. So they told one of the residents, Apsel, to check that strange thing.

"It's safe, madam. There's nothing here!" shouted Apsel from a distance, looking in the direction Gilda pointed out.

"Ah, thank goodness," Hela replied, sighing.

Relieved to hear this, when Apsel and other citizens turned over simultaneously, they saw a creature shrouded in darkness. Yellowish eyes with hands ready to pounce, standing directly behind Hela, holding Gilda.

"AAAAAARGGHH!! MADAM! WATCH OUT!" shouted Apsel in surprise.

"Arghhh!" the citizens shouted in unison.

All the people ran around in the fog looking for their children. They rushed to get inside their homes for shelter. The atmosphere became chaotic as they freaked out and collided with each other until food and drink were trampled on by their hasty steps of fear.

Hela, who heard Apsel's scream, turned her body and gasped at the creature's sight. She put his deck on Gilda and tried to avoid the monster by running. However, due to the panic and slippery ground surface frozen into ice, Hela fell flat. She tried to drag her body away from the monster because her leg was injured. Still, in his mother's arms, Gilda couldn't help but cry at the sight of the incident.

"Who-who are you?! What kind of creature are you?!" quipped Hela panicked.

The monster just smiled and strolled towards the mother and daughter with a hand ready to catch them.

"Please, don't hurt us. I give you whatever you want, as long as you don't hurt the people here," Hela said, which was already limp.

The sound of the wind sighing mixed with whirring sounded. An arrow was stuck in his back from the direction behind the monster, making him jerk his body and scream.

"Argh!" the echoing roaring voice signified overwhelming anger.

"Get out of here, disgusting creature!" said Emmett from a distance, still holding the bow whose arrows had been released.

The monster went on a rampage, ravaging the village to divert the arrow shots that came at him and sharpened from various directions.

The residents and Emmett, who focused on attacking the creature, did not realize that the lives of his wife and child were under threat. But, it didn't stop there, and the monster was not alone. He brought one similar to him to help distract the villagers.

"Emmett! Help me!" shouted Hela.

Gilda kept crying incessantly.

"Hela!!" Emmett immediately ran to his wife and child, realizing that the monster was tricking him. The thick snow made it difficult for him to dash. The fire burning in the center of the village was getting bigger, and more blocked his sight to save his wife's child.

Time seemed to stand still as the man saw his daughter already sitting lying on the icy ground with a wailing cry as he threw his hand in a direction.

"Gilda! Where's your mother?!" said Emmett rushing to hold Gilda.

"Mother...," Gilda pointed out.

The man looked in the direction his daughter was pointing. His eyes widened to see his wife slumped limply on the lap of a monster fleeing in the direction of the dark forest. With teary eyes and mounting anger, he also shouted,

"HELAAA!!"

He then entrusted Mia to nearby residents and ran fast, hoping to save his wife. The thick snow was not an obstacle for Emmeth, and he continued running until he entered the cursed forest of Darkus. Not having time to join the core of the forest, suddenly something long, sharp, and branched hit Emmeth's body, throwing him out of the woods.

With a faint look and a weakened body condition, from a distance, he saw the monster slowly lost by the darkness of the Hela forest. His half-quivering, wound-filled hand was unable to save his wife.

"He-Hela...," Emmett said, then unconscious.

****

It was the darkest night for the villagers of Tanee. Children were constantly crying, destroyed houses, white snow partly stained with blood, and lost one of the leaders they had respected so much all along.

"Mr. Emmett, thank goodness you've come to your senses...," said Apsel's wife, who was guarding Gilda after the incident that night.

"Hela! Gilda! Arrghh ...."

The man spontaneously woke up and held his head while groaning in pain.

"Relax, Sir. Gilda was fine. She was sleeping in her room. It's just that, Mrs. Hela...."

"Yes, I know, Apsel. She won't come back. This is the act of the monster Jotun!"

"Jotun's monster?" said Apsel and his wife, staring at each other in surprise.

"The monster is Jotun. I'm sure once it's them. My mother once told me that a long time ago, in the southern mountain, it was said that there was a family that was cursed to be Jotun, whose characteristics were the same as that of the monster. And it likes to abduct children and women out of spite on the gods who alienated it."

"So, why did they come and disturb our village this time, sir? But before Tanee's village was safe," Apsel asked.

"I don't know, and I don't understand. At first, I thought it was just a fairy tale...."

Since then, Emmett has no longer been seen crying. Various ways he did to find his wife, but he always failed and did not find any clues. Also, the difficulty accessing humans through the dark forest makes him even more desperate. Until finally, he gave up and stopped the search.

    20 years later"Are you prepared?""I am, Father.""Then, go. When you're in crisis, leave everything. It's enough to just flee, as long as you're safe."Arthur walked out of his hiding cave towards Tanee Village. With a bunch of vines he used as rope, he didn't need too many hunting tools as his current target was a child."Hey, Arthur!

The caves they lived in were covered by Forest's thickness and gloominess, day and night.Luckily, it wasn't Winter. The absence of thick snow provided easier hunting for the jotuns and left the village without a trace.Soon as he reached the village border to the Forest, Arthur slowed down.

If you're like this, there's going to be something you want from me. That's right, isn't it?!"Arthur, who was used to his best friend's coldness, never once felt offended. On the contrary, Gus is a kind and loyal figure to anyone who wants to be friends with him.Want to be friends with him? Yes, not all Dark forest creatures dared approach the grumbling creatures, except Arthur and Volka. Therefore, they are finally now friends."Your remarks have some truth too. I was going to tell you something, but it feels better if you help me first," Arthur reasoned.Hearing this, Gus turned over and walked back to the tree he lived in regardless of Arthur's words."Gus! I haven't finished talking yet! Listen to me first!" shouted Arthur."I don't want to get involved in your stupid actions anymore!" concluded Gus, whose voice echoed from inside the tree."Oh,

    SsshhhhFrom the darkness, a long and sizeable legless reptile emerged. The skin was golden brown with a tongue sticking out close to them."Ah, a snake? Who are you, and where are you from?" asked Arthur. He changed the position of his awareness to stand as usual. According to him, this figure is not dangerous."Kaia ..." Her distinctive hissing sound echoed throughout the forest."Alright, Kaia. I'm Arthur, and this is my friend, Gus. Please, don't underestimate him. Otherwise, you'll regret it later," Arthur retorted.Gus trailed off as he stared fiercely at Kaia. Arthur was indeed really serious when he said things about Gus. But, let alone Kaia, Arthur himself didn't dare to mess with the ancient rabbit."No need to linger. What is your purpose for coming here? I don't have much time to argue with you," Gus asked."Shouldn't I be the one who asked? This is my territory. What is the purpose of you guys coming here?" asked Kaia. Her long body squirmed softly around Gus and Arthur.

It can't be more dangerous than a big snake," Arthur scorned with a hint of a chuckle."You don't remember? Who has turned you into an evil creature like this?" Gus replied with a stern look as he continued in his footsteps."Of course I remember. But ....""Never mind, Arthur.

    "What is your plan, Gilda?" asked Emmett to his daughter."I'm going to try to find Ramy. His mother did not want to eat because she thought about the poor boy. She just lost her husband and now has to lose her child," Gilda said, packing her hunting bag."It's useless for you to go. The boy must have been eaten as a dinner menu by the Jotuns," Emmett replied with a sly smile."Father! Why are you talking like that?! The villagers of this drape hope on us?!" concluded Gilda in a high tone.Hearing his daughter's emotional words, the older adult stood up and approached the child with both hands on his waist."Then, do you think the boy is still alive?

Do you want to come and live with her in heaven?!"Gilda could only be speechless without a word hearing her father's words.

Previously, while Gilda was still in the village, Emmett ordered him to accompany Gilda to find Ramy in the Dark forest. But for some reason, after Gilda walked, Emmet gave another order instead. That is, staying quiet in the village of Tanee and not going anywhere. At first, Apsel felt confused by the Master's painting attitude.

    The impact of both of Arthur's legs stifled the surface of the 'roof' of the cave. Just as Arthur had stepped foot, Gilda had already stepped straight down from the monster's shoulders as if she couldn't wait to release her grip on Arthur's body."You're so noisy. Can't you be calm for a day?!' said Arthur irritably. Not only because Arthur's screams disturb his concentration when climbing up, but Gilda's fairly complex hand grip caused claw scars and minor bruises on his body.Gilda was silent, not responding to Arthur's complaint. Either because she didn't care or was ashamed of her fear of heights appearing at an inopportune moment."Princess, are you ok?" asked Pipi worriedly."I'm ok. Ah, look! The scenery above here is so beautiful, isn't it?" said Gilda turning the corner in embarrassment.It's undeniable that the view of the cave, which is unnamed, was so unique that it made Gilda and Pipi amazed when they first saw it.

    "Hahaha. That's impossible, Pipi. If Jotuns are kind, why are they kidnapping my citizens for? Don't be easily fooled by the monster, Pipi. I'm sure he has another intention behind this," Gilda explained."Pipi, I don't know that rodents like you like fresh fish to eat. Don't you just like nuts?" asked Gilda to Pipi, who was eating."Since there is no food that I can find around here, I am forced to just eat this fish, Princess. After all, the taste of fresh fish is not too bad for me. It's just that maybe if it is baked like yours, it will be more delicious. From the fragrance alone, Princess's grilled fish is already very appetizing. ""You want to try my grilled fish? This, try it... after all, it's not baked, it's just a normal grill. The fire I made was not too big. You know it was my mother who taught me to make a fire in the midst of an emergency situation like this," Gilda said as she thrust out one fish."Ah, no Princess.

    Gilda frowned at the voice calling out to her. She initially thought that she was hallucinating. However, soon Pipi appeared to approach her by strolling to sneak up."Pipi? How did you get here?" asked Gilda, surprised. Both eyes were moist because, for almost fifteen minutes, she cried. She stopped crying when she heard the sound of Pipi's exclamation and the stone thrown by the little creature."Relax, Princess. I will tell you everything, but I have to ensure the situation first," Pipi said while watching around. She looked very anxious because she was afraid of something."You mean? Jotun?" asked Gilda.Pipi nodded in agreement. Gilda finally understands Pipi's attitude, which looks anxious just now. Then, Pipi invited her to one corner of the cave as if she was about to show her something. Not long after, they finally arrived at the place Pipi was going."Princess, I apologize for leaving you yesterday. I did that because of reflexes and fear. I really couldn't afford to look in

It was difficult for Gilda to figure out because her body still felt weak and sore in some parts, especially the hip area.

She walked back down the place even with a limping step. Nearly ten steps walked, and suddenly her actions stopped because of hitting something. Something felt dense but didn't cause

    After a day of searching, Rudolf's efforts to find the child was useless. Arthur disappeared as if being swallowed by the earth is true. Even more surprisingly, none of the traces he encountered of Arthur's departure."I don't know what I'm feeling right now. But, if you have to be honest, two things feel chest-stifling when you see this incident. First, I didn't expect that Arthur would do this kind of thing. Secondly, the strangeness of Arthur's attitude was already felt when I saw him at the table for a meal together last night. So then, why don't I talk to him at least I'll know what happened to him?!"Regret after regret came in Rudolf. From all his thoughts, one more thing makes him very sorry. He doesn't know his son's feelings until he is desperate to do something like this. Some members of the Jotuns gave their elders support and encouragement for the loss of their son. Volka and Gus are no exception. They are also confused as to why this could happen as if this were just a l
