Dark thick drops fell steadily onto the snow-covered ground. Blood seeped out, soaking the frozen ground, and, since there was a lot of it, and the drops did not stop, it penetrated deeper and deeper - to the roots of the dried pine tree. The coffin was buried at a depth of four meters. Upholstered in lead and nailed with silver nails, it looked outlandish at one time, but now, 600 years later, it could well be considered an exhibit worthy of a historical museum. Truly stupid was the one who, having killed the eighth witch, left her bleeding body on the branch of an old pine tree. Truly stupid, because he helped awaken an evil more ancient than himself. Truly stupid, because the Russian land is rich not only in black gold, but also in memory.
