There once was a habitable planet called YX-99 many light years away from earth. It was filled with lush forest, and oceans full of aquatic life.

But his stories were the reason the children adorned him so much. He tells them a story about the wind, and tells them that it cant hurt them. In the past very few people roamed the earth, they fished for food. The best fish were in the cold north, guarded by the north wind. his icy breath was only stopped by the south wind, for if not the whole world would be snow and ice.
