Deep
in the Ural mountains late , late at night if you are quiet and do not rustle a
bush or step on a branch , if you are as quiet a cotton ball falling on
cashmere you will witness a giant cuniculus
or rabbit a massive eruption of fur and ears . Do not assume it is friendly, it
is not, many an onlooker has fallen to their demise by approaching the Lepus
slowly and trying to befriend it with a scrap of food or candy. Do not be lured
by the soft inviting fur and eyeless face, this hare is serious business and to
be fooled is perilous. Once a season a maiden is sacrificed to the hare, the
sacrifice is not to the death, it is a spell. The Cuniculus puts the maiden
into a trance and she stays in the trance for a season, she can still eat, and
do her chores but she is mute and blind during this time. The people of the
Ural Mountains willingly agree to the Rabbits ritual if they stop there will be
devastating consequences. The truth is the Cuniculus is taking revenge! “Kosticha “are sacrificial places where in ancient times some religions
carried out rituals where they sacrificed animals. Many centuries later the
giant Lepus moved into one of these areas and the revenge rituals began. Every
season the Cuniculus changes color, the colors are often garish and loud to
show dominance over the land.
So again I warn you .If you are travelling in the Ural Mountains! View at your own risk or your demise will by a furry hand of revenge.
