Once upon a time, there was a young redheaded boy in a northern country struck by famine and war. The snow piled up outside, crops died, and the animals and people became extremely gaunt and even turned towards eating unspeakable meals. The boy took refuge in a cave, and a fox came and asked him to stay together to keep warm. The boy was naive and the fox had the same color hair as he did, so he trusted the fox. However, the fox tried to eat the boy while he was asleep. The boy was full of adrenaline and strangled the fox to death after wrestling him down. He then cooked its meat and made clothing from its pelt to keep warm. This act of survivalism and resourcefulness please The God Of Fear And Hunger, who appeared to him in a dream that same night. She told him;

“Go to the mountains that the snow makes white Pick up your axe and chop down the pines Carve my shape into the wood and give it my eyes, And I will teach you how to survive.”

He did as she asked, carving wood and creating a wooden effigy of the goddess. He would get visited by animals and manifest food as well as resources he needed at the top of the mountain. However, this came with attention from less friendly animals such as the bears that he tried to avoid. He crafted a bow and consulted his effigy of The God Of Fear And Hunger. She told him;

“Confronted by a bear most people would die, But I will guide your arrow between his eyes. Take the flesh and the pelt of the bear So you may have food and clothes to wear.”

Just as she told him, he shot an arrow through the bear’s forehead on the first try, killing it instantly and giving him a large supply of meat and pelt. He was so happy with The God of Fear and Hunger that he created a large wooden monument in her form, and placed it at the top of the mountain to watch over his home.
