Baba Yaga

By Jzt

A young girl named Lin wandered into the forest, seeking lost treasure to save her ailing mother. In her pursuit, she encountered the legendary Baba Yaga. Desperation drove her to confront the witch, but upon entering the hut, she was greeted with an unsettling grin from Baba Yaga.


 “What do you seek, child?” 


the witch asked, her voice echoing through the gloomy air. Lin gathered her courage and shared her plight with the witch, who listened intently. To her surprise, Baba Yaga agreed to help—but only if Lin completed three seemingly impossible tasks. The witch’s tasks were cruel, designed to test the girl’s resolve and intelligence. Despite the daunting trials, Lin persisted, her thoughts on her ailing mother spurring her forward. Through sinister encounters, riddles, and a blend of fear and respect, Lin triumphed over each challenge. 


However, she would soon learn that Baba Yaga did not possess a heart simple enough to be swayed by fear or kindness. After accomplishing the tasks, Baba Yaga had no intent of actually aiding her; instead, she intended to ensnare Lin’s spirit for her own dark purposes. The girl, quick-witted and brave, outsmarted Baba Yaga by using the knowledge she gained during the tasks. She fled from the witch, the rustle of leaves whispering her name as she escaped the haunted hut. 


Baba Yaga’s cackling laughter echoed through the trees, a chilling reminder that she was never too far behind. Though Lin returned home with limited treasure she looted before leaving, her encounter with Baba Yaga imbued her with wisdom and fortitude. She got her mother the help she needed and also shared the tales of her harrowing journey, teaching the villagers that not all who offers aid are friendly, and sometimes, the darkest of encounters lead to the brightest of lessons.
