A river once flowed freely, a source of abundant fish for the people, until a monstrous presence established its lair at the headwaters. This creature voraciously consumed the fish and discharged bolts of lightning that struck distant places. The people, deeply connected to the river and its inhabitants, waged a prolonged battle against this monstrous force. They even formed alliances with former adversaries. After a protracted struggle, they succeeded in breaking the monster's dominion. As it perished, its body disintegrated. The waters, once constrained, flowed freely again, and over time, the fish gradually returned. Which real-life story this might this be? Leave your thoughts in the comments. This is a public episode.
