Relax, then take a deep breath

As you brave into the woods,

Let heart be as soft as clouds,

Let mind be as clear as day,

Be mindful of the noises

That echo all around you,

Pray it not be the faeries

That brings promises untrue,

Take heed, as well, for the hut

Where the Baba Yaga dwells,

For her brews and fireballs

Shall be what you'll encounter,

This wispy woods, full of lies,

Filled to the brim with deceit,

And the calls of ancient bones

That only whisper tall tales,

Rest your heart, allay your fears,

For this labyrinth eats them,

Aye, the forest is alive

And not because of the trees,

Keep wandering until dawn,

Let your legs rest not at night,

Keep your eyes out for a horse

That will drown you in its lake,

And silence now, cease your song,

Let the nymphs hear not your voice

Else they will seal it away

Into the deepest hollow,

Be wary of everything,

Trust no-one except yourself,

Let your heart be soft as clouds,

Yet make it cold, unfeeling,

For only pure of spirit

Could ever traverse the woods,

Yet only those with numb hearts

Ever makes it out alive,

And once you see a glimmer,

Take precaution of its light,

For it could be a tiger

With fiery eyes, burning red,

Make no mistake in these woods,

Alive, thriving, and angry,

A vicious territory

That governs all within it,

And rejoice as you escape

This labyrinthine forest,

For 'tis but a bitter treat

To one who have seen it all,

And that's when you snap out of it,

Wake up from your delusions

As you are still trapped in here

And with no means to escape,

Yes, that's right, this ancient woods

Is powerful and evil,

Step inside, invite the curse,

Then be trapped 'til end of days,

But end of days… when is it?

I would like to tell you that,

But time never existed

Even once within this woods!
