Истории Slavic

Ryazan, one of the grandest cities in all Rus', lays along the war path of thousands of Tatar warriors eager to seize the spoils of a short-fought campaign: the women of the city and gold from its treasury. Having set up camp on the riverbank outside the city, they await a reply from the envoys of Grand Prince Yuriy. As the Grand Prince deliberates, his brothers both caution and counsel him. If Ryazan falls, the rest of Rus' may be next ─ an outcome his people grow ever more wary of, turning to priests and heretics alike as rumor and fear run rampant inside the city walls. Finally left untended, the Polovtsian princess Yanay, conquered once before, now belonging to one of the Grand Prince's brothers, quietly observes these developments. She prays to her old gods when she can and aligns herself with a young Tatar captive, all the while secretly seeking her freedom and revenge. ──────── ☽ ◯ ☾ ──────── A retelling of the Siege of Ryazan complete with rageful women and warrior princes; gods both kind and cunning; and sin aplenty.

A fantasy short story I wrote for a university English course inspired and based on a Slavic folklore tale. This story follows two brothers who are looking for something but have lost their way. However, one of them discovers a mysterious magical bird, and they resolve to follow it. It will be a long and difficult journey, that will take all of their wits and will, and they will face tests and have to make hard choices. What will they discover? Will it be what they are looking for?

In Polish and Slovak folk traditions, the figures of the strzyga and striga share only one essential feature: both are female supernatural beings. Beyond this basic similarity, however, their characteristics differ significantly.

The Shadow of the Past A hunger that never fades. A war that never dies. Vilk did not know if redemption was possible - or if he even deserved it. But he could not stop searching. He only wanted to survive. To leave his old life behind. To never look back. But the past does not let go - it lingers in the shadows, waits in the dead eyes of the damp earth, pulses in a hunger that cannot be sated. In a world where the fog hides more than the traces of ancient battles, where the forest breathes with an unnatural rhythm, and blood carries the sweet taste of destiny, Vilk and his silent companion - the black dog, Grym - walk a path from which there is no return. Questions arise, and he dreads the answers. Sometimes fighting is not enough. Sometimes you must know when to stop being human. Or perhaps it's already too late. A dark, visceral tale of survival, hunger, and the shadow that always follows you.
