Osiris Fraternal Order

Gods! It's Vetye! Thank the heavens!!, Kraven thought to himself.

After the commotion, Kraven digressed to the previous conversation, now looking at both Asim and Vetye; "I really wish I could find her! Going to the ramp was the only thing I could think of to remotely be on the path to seeing her again." If only he had introduced himself the night of Wepet Ren, Kraven scolded himself mentally, letting out a sigh.

Kraven began again, "She had long flowing red hair that was a beautiful sunset shade, with freckles that dotted her nose and cheeks, and one single braid that was adorned with beads and jewels! No other girl in this whole Kingdom could match her beauty!" Forgetting about Asim and Vetye, Kraven drifted into deep thought about this girl; the girl of his dreams. The thought of never getting to know her name made his chest feel empty like a temple prayer room with rotting wooden beams, just waiting to cave into itself at any given moment. If he gave up now and came to terms with it, the heartache would be lessened. But what if he didn't give up, and then he found her? What if-

Kraven refocused back to the present... "What did you say?" Kraven said.

Vetye, after listening to Kraven talk, remembers a certain folk tale he heard from a far away realm he thinks was called "Eezztern Iurupp".
"Sounds like Vasilisa the Beautiful. She is from an Eeztern Iuruppean folk tale. She had long red hair and a single braid. She is also known for having a surviving an encounter with another Eeztern Iuruppean folk tale character, known as the forest mother and witch, Baba Yaga."
Vetye then sits down on the ground.

Kraven pondered. How likely would it be that the girl he was looking for was the very one Vetye described in the folk tale, EEzztern Iurupp? The description matches near perfectly and it's not like there wasn't all sorta of different kinda folks here for Wenpet Renpet. Why, I myself, befriend a interdimensional being who gave me the ability of water breathing! Who's to say the girl of my dreams isn't this Vasilisa the Beautiful? Kraven muttered to himself, "Vasilisa the Beautiful", my that sounds lovely!" And beautiful she was, Kraven thought.

Turning to Vetye sternly Kraven says "can you tell me more about this Eeztern Iuruppean folk tale? Specically anything else you may know about this 'most beautiful Vasilisa'!

"Alright, but I forgot some things about the story. From what I remember, she was the daughter of a merchant. Her mother died when she was Eight, but before she did, she gave her a Mo-tan-ka doll talisman with instructions to always keep it on her, without letting anyone, even her father to see it or know of its existance. It was a magical doll that helped her in times of need if she offered it food. When she died, Vasilisa gave something for the doll to drink and it surprisingly comforted her. Her father then remarried to a widow with 2 daughters. Sometime later, when Vasilisa came of age, the merchant left to do his work and her stepmother kicked her out of the house into the woods where the Baba Yaga reside. After surviving an encounter with her, she became an assistant to a cloth maker in the capital. The "Tsar", which I think is a monarchial position, came and saw how good she was at her job and one day married her. This story is from 200 years ago and just a folk tale, but in this world, I guess everything is possible, even reincarnation."

Kraven listened intently to what Vetye was saying.

"Hmmm. Very interesting! You are quite correct, Vetye. Before the Renpet Festival, I was oblivious to just how magical our world is. I now know that most anything is possible, so there's a very real possibility that the girl I seen at the bottom of the Nile during the festival is in fact 'Vasilisa'. Regardless, the information you've given me has me one more step closer to finding her. Thank you!"
