It all starts in the dark. The Night. In the past, in the countryside, there was no light. So, at night, it was really all black, all black. It was a country of low trees and ponds, of swamps. There, in the middle of the moors, lived a young shepherd, all alone, in a small hut. At night, the curtains moved. While the window was closed. And the shepherd wondered every night; why do the curtains move if the window is closed? And suddenly, one night, he saw a small blue light. It came closer, behind the window... He drew the curtain... The light was there, twinkling, it wanted to enter... What was it?
A rackchette? A female demon from India, who devours male children at night when they are alive? A troll out of her stone boat? Or a flambette, a little hairy old woman, as big as a thimble?
