    Their escape led them to the realm of an old blind witch. She cast a curse on the lovers, haunting their lives.

    They sought solutions, but the witch's curse was potent. The tribes sought them for punishment, but their love remained steadfast.

    The witch's curse transformed the young man into a giant white wolf, and the young woman into an owl that ascended to the moon.

    Every third night of the month, the owl flew into the sky and transformed into the full moon, while the wolf howled below.
