Résumé :
Blood flowed there for three days and three nights. The whole valley, the rocks, the surrounding grasses, even the willows had taken on reddish hues.

Even the mountains shave their heads. Yes. People believed in this legend that brought to life the new name of an area where life had begun to fade. Yes, even the mountains had shaved their heads. Their baldness gave that area another name. And life between the new name was just a glimpse of the past. It was such that the war was with water, land, stone, and wood. It was with all that wealth that that baldness had turned into a chronology of stories. Thus, during the yellowed wrinkles of stories that life became a risk of oblivion. And forgetfulness weaved in it quite a few spiders. Visible and invisible spider webs crossed old books and new ones formed new dictates for the benefit of oblivion itself.
