The Elder’s Tale

Dear Reader~~😄
Good morning ~~（ ´Ｏ｀）

Before you step into the shadowy depths of this tale, let me tell you something important: this is not the Baba Yaga you know from traditional folklore.
Author
This isn’t the old hag who rides in a mortar or the child-eating witch from bedtime stories.🥶 No, this is my reimagining—my vision of Baba Yaga, shaped by imagination and a love for stories that blend darkness with heart.
Author
In this version, Baba Yaga is not just a symbol of fear but a being shaped by love, betrayal, and centuries of solitude. Her world is a place where magic is alive, where curses hold power, and where those who venture into her domain must face more than just danger—they must face themselves..
Author
So, if you’re ready to see Baba Yaga in a new light—both terrifying and beautiful—then come with me. Let’s step into the forest together, where shadows whisper secrets and love might just bloom where darkness reigns...
Author
This is a story born from my imagination, inspired by the legends but not bound by them. I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I enjoyed creating it...🤗
A group of villagers sits around a fire as the village elder recounts the legend of Baba Yaga. one of them listens intently, his fists clenched in determination.
Elder
Long ago, deep in the heart of the forest, there lived a sorceress unlike any other—Baba Yaga.
Elder
They say her hut moves on chicken legs, ...and her magic is woven from the bones of the earth and the whispers of the dead...💀☠️
villager 1
[shivering]😱
They say she eats those who dare enter her forest....🌳🌳
Elder
[nodding]
Perhaps... But she wasn’t always feared. Once, she was a healer, a protector of balance....Villages would flourish under her guidance, their crops bountiful, their people thriving...
Elder
[sighing]
❤Love. Or rather, the loss of it. Baba Yaga fell for a mortal man—a woodsman who wandered into her forest.
Elder
But mortals and magic seldom mix. He betrayed her, stealing one of her enchanted relics to sell for gold.... She found him, of course, and his betrayal hardened her heart forever...
villager 2
[nervously] 😨
And that’s when she cursed the forest?
Elder
Yes.!!!..She turned her home into a trap—a labyrinth of shadows. Any who enter uninvited are never seen again.... Those who anger her, she curses...
???
And what about our village? Why did she curse us?
Elder
Our ancestors made a grave mistake. 😞They cut down her sacred grove to expand the fields. Baba Yaga warned them to stop, but they were blinded by greed.
Elder
She cursed our land, turning it barren, and vowed no child would survive here for more than a generation...😵
villager 1
[terrified]😰
We’ve tried appeasing her—leaving offerings, prayers—but she doesn’t listen.😭
Elder
(looking at the boy)
The only way to break the curse is to face her yourself. But mark my words, boy, no one has ever returned...
???
[determined]
Then I’ll be the first. If we don’t try, the curse will destroy us all..
