What is the blue kerlew hound legend?

Answer 1

Once, in an old village in Scotland, everyone was happy. The river near the village gave bountiful fish, and most of the people there were sheep or goat herders. Everything went fine until one day, the villagers saw a dog, apparently a stranger in those parts. It had blue fur. After the mysterious hound's arrival, the river stopped producing fish, and all the goats and lambs began dying of an unknown disease. Naturally, the villagers blamed the hound for this and attempted many methods to try and drive it away, but none of them worked. In a last attempt of freedom from the ghostly hound, the villagers got into touch with a sorcerer, offering the best house in their village, if he was to do the deed they couldn't. He tried various enchantments to drive the hound away, but none of them worked. At last, the sorcerer cast a spell which would cause all the dog's teeth to fall off. But it was not powerful enough and only was able to make one solitary teeth fall out of the dog's moth. Suddenly, the dog gave a yelp and ran away, never to be seen again. Then the sorcerer discovered that the fallen tooth could grant wishes. He was a hero among the villagers, he got the best house there, as per the agreement. A great number of people came seeking the sorcerer to have their wishes fulfilled. But, according to legend, on one stormy night, strange, unholy screams came from the sorcerer's house, prompting many of the villagers to brave the rain and reach the house. They then saw the sorcerer's body, ripped to shreds, and the tooth lying in a pool of water. The tooth's whereabouts are unknown. It is also unclear whether the tooth was destroyed. Apparently, each wish made using a tooth sent signal waves, tuned such that the hound was able to pick up the source of the wish, thereby locating the sorcerer, the legendary hound unleashed its fury.
