The triumph over the giants had bolstered Yana's confidence and cemented her reputation as a formidable force. But there was no time for complacency. Yana knew that her journey was far from over, and there were still challenges ahead.
News reached Yana's ears of a mystical river known as the River of the Dead—a treacherous waterway that separated the mortal realm from the realm of spirits. Legends spoke of its formidable guardians and the trials one had to endure to cross its turbulent waters.
Intrigued by the mysteries that lay beyond, Yana set forth on her next quest. Accompanied by Elara, who had pledged her loyalty to the Baba Yaga, they ventured towards the river, guided by ancient maps and whispered rumors.
As they approached the riverbank, the atmosphere grew heavy with an otherworldly presence. The river flowed with an ethereal glow, its waters shimmering with the spirits of the departed. Standing at the edge, Yana and Elara felt the weight of the task before them.
