"Hmm," Baba Yaga began to lick her lips as she took hold of my face.
Strength seemed to drain from my legs as I collapsed to the floor. She pulled in close to me, her eyes locked onto mine.
"I like you; very strong, both physically and mentally. Forgot your kingdom. Forget your wife. I could give you so much more." She leaned in to steal a kiss.
When Marina saw what she was trying to do she reached for her sword, stepping towards us.
"Please don't interrupt," she said. With the snap of her finger vines sprang up around her, twisting around Marina.
She leaned in further; however, with the last bit of my strength I broke free of her grasp.
"Please help me find my wife, I'm begging you."
She looked at me with a fury in her eyes, she then sighed standing to her feet. "That wife of yours doesn't deserve you. She's a lucky woman. Hopefully she'll see that," she snapped her fingers, I felt the charm on me break and Marina was freed from vines. "Fine I'll point you in the right direction," she said playfully, though I thought I sensed a bit of disappointment.
