在野蛮的极北之森，民众遵循教典条约以维持脚下这片方寸之地的所谓圣洁。看着双生子中“亡故”的弟弟，法官宣布诺威尔家族今夜只有一个男婴出生。

In the barbaric forests of the Plateau of Leng, the people follow canonical treaties to maintain the so-called sanctity of the land beneath their feet. Looking at the “dead” brother of the twins, the judge declares that only one baby boy will be born to the Norwell family tonight.

那名看似已无生命体征的婴童，却在被抛入暴风雪森林后重新燃起了心跳。他是幸运的，在母亲无微不至的呵护下拥有了幸福的童年。但，隐居森林的温馨生活注定会被打破，他听到前来抓捕母亲的人管她叫“恶魔”，看到执行官的脸与自己别无二致！

The infant child, seemingly lifeless, rekindled his heartbeat after being thrown into a stormy forest. He was lucky to have a happy childhood under his mother’s undivided attention. But his life in the forest is doomed to be shattered when he hears his mother’s captors call her “Devil” and sees the face of the Executive Officer, a man not unlike himself!

混迹人群的过程出乎意料地顺利，他天真地以为带母亲逃走就可以一切如常，却赫然得见这群疯子折磨母亲的手段远胜恶魔！母亲已然在折磨下变得面目全非…她紧紧地搂着怀中的小伊塔，发疯般地保护着这玩偶。

Blending in with the crowd had gone surprisingly well, and he had naively thought that he could escape with his mother and everything would go on as usual, but he had been surprised to see that the madmen had tortured her far more than the demons had ever done! His mother’s face was already disfigured by the torture… She clutched the little Ithaqua in her arms, protecting the doll like mad.

伊塔知道，没有任何机会能够重回过去甜蜜的日子，但是时候让那些真正的“恶魔”付出代价了。他将母亲带回暴风雪森林深处的家，蜕下人的躯壳，回归最原始的野蛮，成为村民口中的恐惧化形，伊塔库亚！这样他就可以像曾经每一晚母亲安抚他入梦一样，安抚她入睡。“睡吧，母亲，我来守夜，不会再有活人靠近你。”在极寒的雪夜里，猎杀每一个试图打扰母亲美梦的人…

Ithaqua knew that there was no chance of returning to the sweet days of the past, but it was time to make the real “demons” pay. He took his mother back to her home deep in the Stormwoods, shedding her human shell and returning to her primal savagery, becoming what the villagers called the embodiment of fear, Itakuya! So that he could soothe her to sleep as his mother had once soothed him to sleep every night. “Sleep, mother, I will keep watch, and no living soul will come near you again.” Hunting down everyone who tried to disturb his mother’s beauty sleep in the very cold, snowy night…
