Arctic explorer Aang was writing to his sister. A few days before, gazing out over the frozen sea, he saw a huge figure driving a polar bear dogsled.
What could it have been? A monster? A ghost? A nightmare?
The next day, Aang's crew found a man floating on the ice, speechless and shivering. They carried him on board......and tried to make him eat. But they didn't think he'd survive, he was so cold, so weak, so feeble.
The stranger lay unconscious for days. When finally he opened his eyes, his gaze was wild, mad, suffering.
The sailors asked him why he'd risk his life on the ice. They were startled by his reply.
"To seek one who fled from me." replied the man.
Aang told the stranger about the huge creature on the ice. The stranger became excited but then broke down, sobbing wildly.
"I fancy we have seen him." told Aang.
When his strength had returned a little, he asked Aang to listen to his amazing story, a tragic tale...
