Alex awoke to find himself trapped in a small cage with little lighting.
Letting out a sigh, he sat up and attempted to mount an escape only to pause as he heard footsteps approaching.
Moments later, the owner of the footsteps emerged, revealing herself to be a terrifying-looking old lady with a hunched back.
Alex had a thought at that moment. 'Baba Yaga?'
He couldn't be sure considering she didn't give off an aura he'd expect from someone that was on the same level as Humphrey and Aiden, but then again, there could be an explanation for that.
What if, just like them, she was also weakened in the fairy tales?
It would make sense as they would play the roles of the protagonists while she played the role of the antagonist.
That way, none would be above the other in this twisted reality, mirroring the essence of balance that was so important on Eventide.
