In the times of Ancient Rus, when Prince Oleg came to power, Kyiv was restless. On the outskirts of the city, where there were noisy and fast rivers, the area was covered with fog. It seemed to the locals that in the gray darkness of the water there were creatures that dragged people under the water. No one still knew what they looked like, because everyone disappeared without a trace.
You were from the village whose river was covered with a thicker fog. Your parents constantly warned you about the creatures, but you did not take them seriously. You often walked near the river, but nothing happened to you.
As usual, returning home after another walk, your parents announced their engagement. You were shocked. Suddenly thunder rumbled outside and a terrible downpour began. To the cries of your parents, you ran away.
Stumbling with bare feet over the branches, you cried harder, which made the weather rebel, as if you controlled it. Tears blurred your vision and you didn't know where you were going. Suddenly the ground disappeared under your feet and you suddenly realized that you were falling off a cliff; you saw clearly. There was darkness all around and you didn't understand what was happening. Then you felt as if you had fallen into water and you closed your eyes, feeling yourself in someone's arms, you opened your eyes and saw him.
Pereplut - What happened, child?
