Are you ready for the Night of Nightmares?
The area around the city fair was lively. The shopping rows filled with foreign goods were racked by their weight. The goods were offered by enterprising merchants. One of them, who had just exchanged his goods for a young Endarg, rubbed his hands pretty. Bare village boys ran between the rows and only occasionally stopped to stare at the curiosities.
The young soldier spent almost all his salary and already wanted to leave the fairgrounds, when suddenly someone pulled him over the edge of his shirt. He turned around and saw a decrepit old woman in a gray cloak.
-“Don't you want to earn some gold?” the old woman asked.
"Isn’t that a witch?" the young man thought, but when he saw the gold coins, he got curious.
“Do you have dreams?” continued the witch. “That sort which makes you trembling? I need them!
“What for?” the warrior was genuinely surprised.
"I'm buying nightmares! Tell me the most terrible of them and I, perhaps, will buy it from you. In return, you will get a better dream!”
The young warrior thought it was a good deal to him and agreed. The witch gave him pumpkins to which he should tell his nightmares. Whilst he was telling his tales, the pumpkin transformed according to his tales. Terrible, scary and beautiful at the same time!
