"But I think you should be careful, Batyushka, that God does not speak in the voice of your own wishing. We have never needed saving before."
This was a wonderful story! Equal parts lore and adventure - this is the story of Vasilisa. Wild and near fey in the forest, she is angry with her only two choices presented to a woman in her time - marry and have his babies or off to a convent with you.
