Bab 17: Chapter 17 : A Taste of the Otherworldly
The Baba Yaga led the group to a small clearing surrounded by trees with gnarled roots and twisted branches. In the center of the clearing stood a large cauldron, bubbling and hissing with a greenish liquid. The aroma wafting from the cauldron was pungent, almost overpowering.
"Welcome to my cauldron, my darlings," the Baba Yaga cackled. "This is where I brew my potions and spells. And you, Elena, are going to help me with my latest brew."
Elena swallowed hard as the Baba Yaga motioned her over to the cauldron. The witch handed her a ladle and gestured for her to stir the contents of the pot.
"What is it?" Elena asked, eyeing the murky liquid warily.
"A little taste of the otherworldly," the Baba Yaga replied with a smirk.
As Elena began to stir the cauldron, she felt a strange energy coursing through her body. The potion seemed to have a mind of its own, twisting and turning in the cauldron like a living thing. She could hear whispers and murmurs coming from the bubbling brew, as if it were trying to communicate with her.
Suddenly, the cauldron began to shake violently, and Elena stumbled backward. The potion exploded, sending green goo flying everywhere. When the smoke cleared, Elena found herself standing in a completely different world.
The sky was a deep purple, and the ground beneath her feet was a shifting mass of colors. Strange creatures darted in and out of view, their shapes and sizes constantly changing. Elena looked around in awe and wonder, feeling like she had stepped into a dream.
But as the moments passed, the dream began to turn into a nightmare. The creatures around her became more aggressive, their colors turning darker and more menacing. They seemed to sense her presence and were closing in fast.
Elena frantically searched for a way out, but the world around her was constantly shifting and changing, making it impossible to find a fixed point. Just when she thought she was done for, she heard a voice in the distance.
"Elena, come this way!"
It was the Baba Yaga, her voice cutting through the chaos like a knife. Elena turned and ran toward the sound of her voice, dodging the creatures that leaped out at her.
Finally, she saw the Baba Yaga standing at the edge of a swirling vortex. Without hesitation, Elena leaped into the vortex, feeling a rush of wind and energy as she was hurled through space.
When she landed, she found herself back in the clearing, panting and gasping for breath. The Baba Yaga was grinning at her, looking pleased with herself.
"Well done, my dear," she said. "You've passed the test."
"What test?" Elena asked, still trying to catch her breath.
"The test to see if you have what it takes to be my apprentice," the Baba Yaga replied. "And you do, my dear. You most certainly do."
