The Curse of Baba Gaya (BL)
Episode 1
The crowd gasps. Murmurs spread like wildfire.
villager 2
Ace, no! You’re too young..😨
Ace
Someone has to do it. ..Sitting here and fearing the forest won’t break the curse...
Elder
(sighs heavily)😞
The path is treacherous. No one who enters her domain returns. You’ll need courage and wit, boy...
Ace
(determined)😠
I’ll bring back answers or die trying...
(The villagers reluctantly agree. Ace’s younger sister pulls him aside.)
Ace is packing his belongings when his younger sister, Mina, enters, teary-eyed.
Mina
Brother, please don’t go.😢 What if you don’t come back?
Ace
(kneels to her level)
Mina, I have to do this. For you, for the village😊. We can’t live in fear forever.😠
Mina
But... Baba Yaga is a monster. She eats people!💀😭
Ace
(Smirks)😏
😉That’s just a story to scare kids. She’s powerful, yes, but maybe she’ll listen...
Mina
(whispers)
You will Come back, Brother. Promise me...😢
They hug, and Ace steps outside, looking toward the forest. The trees seem to shift in the wind, as if alive..
Ace
(to himself)
Baba Yaga... if you’re watching, I’m coming...
He takes a deep breath and steps into the forest, the shadows swallowing him whole.
Ace walks deeper into the forest. The dense trees block out sunlight, and strange whispers echo around him
Ace
(mutters)😦
Just trees... nothing to fear...
A crow caws loudly, startling him. The shadows seem to move, forming shapes that dissolve when he looks directly at them.
Mysterious voice
“Turn back... You don’t belong here...”
Ace
(spins around)
Who’s there?! Show yourself!..
No response. Ace grips his dagger tightly and presses on, his footsteps crunching on dry leaves.
Ace comes across a clearing with a stone altar. On it lies a glowing, red apple. He cautiously approaches.
Ace
(to himself)
Its a trap, obviously...
As he reaches out, vines shoot up from the ground, wrapping around his legs.
The vines pull him toward the altar. Shadows rise from the ground, forming humanoid figures with glowing eyes.
Shadow 1
You seek Baba Yaga? You are not worthy..
Ace
(struggling)😖
Let me go!
Shadow 2
Prove your courage, mortal.... Face us, or turn back!
Ace manages to draw his dagger and slashes at the vines. He stumbles free but is surrounded by the shadow figures..
Ace
(gritting his teeth)😠😬
Fine. Let’s see what you’ve got.
He charges at the shadows, his dagger slicing through them. They reform each time, but Ace refuses to back down. Finally, his persistence causes the shadows to dissolve.
Disembodied Voice: Bravery... but will it be enough?
The forest falls silent again. Ace catches his breath and continues forward.
As Ace walks, he feels someone watching him. A figure steps out from behind a tree—a tall, pale young man with piercing blue eyes and a mischievous smirk.
