One day a rather strange thing happened in the village where Viktoria is originally from. A young Kalmyk man saw a horse gallop straight into his yard. Without a second thought, the man took the horse and tried to domesticate it. When he failed, the man killed the horse for meat. People who bought the meat fell ill and the man himself also died soon afterwards. The person who helped butcher the horse also developed a problem in his hands. Alarmed by this, the local people went to see a monk who said that the horse was the Master of the Year and it was wrong to kill it.
