Ana
From Gypsy legend, Ana is the extremely beautiful princess of the
Keshalyi and lived in a palace in the rocky mountains until she was
forced to marry the king of the Loçolico, the underground demon
people. She bore him many terrifying children who cause the diseases
that mankind must endure today. Finally, she gave birth to Poreskoro,
the most terrifying of these demons, a horror with four dogs' heads,
four cats' heads and a tail like a snake with a forked tongue. He
causes the worst epidemics such as the plague and cholera, and all
the most deadly parasitical diseases. Upon seeing his son, the king
was so appalled that he granted Ana her freedom, on condition that
all female keshalyi should be sent to the Loçolico upon reaching the
age of 999 years. Now, Ana resides in an inaccessible castle amid
high crags, and only very rarely shows herself, always in the shape
of a golden toad. |
