Baba Yaga
the bony-legged, keeper of the wild
earthBaba Yaga dwells in a hut on hen's legs ringed with skulls of fire, both devourer and guide to those who dare her threshold; to dream of her is to stand at the edge of the deep forest and be asked whether you come as a good soul or an idle one.
Fragments
Do her tasks without complaint and she may gift you fire in a skull to light your way home; fail them, and her fence will want another bone.
Her hut turns its back to the wood and its door to none, until you speak the old words and it creaks around to face you on its scaly yellow legs.
