the armor of the Dead Knight, but also heavier.
Finding yourself in a clearing strewn with craters near the Oak oppositetribune, the Immortal easily jumped from his horse and gracefully bowed

“Yes,” she answered, her voice trembling with happiness. She gentlylooked at Ivan. But instead of him, Kashchei looked at Vasilisa

Baba Yaga stumbled into the Great Hall, elegantly leaning on her

the care was, of course, effective.
“Yes, we tried,” the Skeleton answered modestly.
“A lot of people died...” agreed Yaga, “Where is Kashcheyushka?”

- Well, well... Whose little soul is this beating in a cage? Fresh?
- Certainly. I didn’t even have time to get stale. He forced me into a cage.
“How funny and quick she is,” Yaga assessed the soul, “What should I do?”
-will you be with her?
- Don't know. He'll sit and see.
- Better give it to me. I'll make a brownie out of her. And then mine ran away
with some kind of ghost.

At least the brownie is useful.
