Old woman living in the woods

The Alkonost and the Sirin are two sides of the same coin. Both are beautiful women with the bodies of birds and both have magical voices of unimaginable beauty. The Alkonost guards good fortune by day and the Sirin by night. You cannot separate the two, because one is simply the alter ego of the other

ALKONOST

Her voice is supposed to be so beautiful that she can make you forget anything that hurts you. She is said to sing about the beauties of paradise for the saints so that they don’t give in to despair and temptation. Other stories claim that wars have actually ended due to her voice

SIRIN

Birds with black feathers are often attributed as being conduits between this world and the other side, bringing messages from the dead. It is no surprise then that the Sirin has dark plumage like a raven or a crow. Given that she is just the Alkonist’s alter ego, it could be argued that it is her divine duty to punish the wicked and usher the dead to their afterlife. She is, after all, still a guardian of good fortune

God this is so good

I haven't seen something so trippy since pink elephants

The following is based on a real person that actually did that

Are you having trouble assimilating into aristocratic upper echelons of Hungarian army as a bastard, is your birth status and mere upsetting the moral fabric of polite society? Well, there might be a solution. Claim that your daddy is an actual dragon! Oh, no, no, he didn’t leave you/not acknowledge your existence, he’s just busy being a dragon. Worried about people questioning anatomy? Well our dragons are different, they’re practically human ram/pike (a fish)/snake hybrid, but they are dragon. Why else would dragons take maidens into their castles if not to have heroes as sons. All the conviniance of having Zeus as a parent without any of those Hera comications. Get your new backstory by just repeating it to people often enough, until it sticks, and go by the humblest of names Fiery Dragon the Wolf, how humble
