Keeping cool

"Who should I fear more?" Kaen wondered

"Is it the monster that makes me shudder"

"Or is it the vessel that contains it?"

As Kaen prepared to engage his opponent, all that he could think of was the fear that he felt. He could not forget it.

Not many remember it but there was once a great incident that took place in Fubuki island. It was an incident that almost claimed the lives of all who lived on the island.

A great frost, so cold that no flame could resist, quickly spreading and freezing everything in its path. In the dark winter night when many slept, this frost came along to take their breath.

Somehow, everyone woke up in their beds the next morning with no recollection of the past twelve hours. This event sparked many rumors and among them was the rumour that the residents died and were brought back, proponents of this rumor backed their claims by speculating a tragic event within the twelve hours period.
