It's Christmas. Elias mourns his lover, but in these darkest of days, strange things ride on the wind and the old tales come alive.

This story might be tragic, mysterious and an uncomfortable read, but I hope that, in the end, it's also beautiful.

Not much to say about this story, really. Last weekend (8.Dec.2024) I heard on the radio that they held the "Perchtenlauf" in the pedestrian zone (in Munich) again. They expected 50.000 spectators. It's quite popular, but definitely a very confusing "Christmas" tradition for non-locals (demons, devils, pure terror at Christmas?). So I looked up its origins on good old Wikipedia and... diving down the rabbit hole... soon came across "the wild hunt" and it's various local forms. And whack, this story just hit me. I'm currently writing another story, but this one just didn't stop bothering me until I started writing it. Hope you'll like it. 

Obviously, it's about "The Wild Hunt" and a few bits of the local alpine variant, but also about loss and grief and in the end it goes off on a religious tangent. I know, that's a bit much, but hey, that's what the story wanted to be. Who am I to argue with a story?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
