A BELL SOUND

A bell sounds A beautiful village over thousands of years old was in the midst of a dense forest of pine trees on the slope of a tall mountain. This hamlet was home to tall, gorgeous men and women with dark blue eyes, blond hair, and white skin color. They had no idea of their background, and if someone asked them about it, they would only gaze at the sky in horror, as if they were terrified of something vague and mysterious up there. They didn't dare to talk about their village or their background. On moonlight nights, when the sun had set behind the high mountains, the awful sound of a bell echoed in the mountains. When the bell rang, even the animals in the pen shouted and raced up and down, as if they knew or saw something people couldn't see or comprehend. They were rushing around in fear, wanting to flee the hamlet, but after a few minutes, when the bell stopped ringing, everyone fell silent and just waited for time to pass. No one knew anything about the bell or its connection with moonlight nights. The elders of the village said that when the bell rings on moonlight nights, red dust first covers the surface of the moon, and after a while when the moon hides behind dark clouds, demons descend from the sky in groups and clusters. They would roam the mountains and nearby valleys and through the forest near the hamlet and farms until late at night. When the bell rang again, all the demons howled and flew simultaneously into the sky. The mountains were cursed, and the deep valley at its base was known as the Valley of Death.
