IN THE SHADOWS, there lurks a witch. Some say her hands are the devil's claws, and horns protrude between lengths of matted hair, long enough to lose yourself in.
IN THE SHADOWS, there lurks a monster. Some say she will eat you up in one bite, and your parents will forever wonder where their precious child disappeared off to.
IN THE SHADOWS, there lurks a woman. Some say she is beautiful, with irises like firelight and hair like gossamer, but when she has you in her clutches, she never lets go.
IN THE LIGHT, there was once a girl. And they simply called her Yaga.
