Lullaby for the Dead by Ravien_Filque
Fanwork Notes
The Wild Hunt - in Slavic belief, a host of restless or penitent souls riding the winter storms. To hear it was a an omen of death, to stand in it’s path meant facing terrible fates..
Perun and Veles - in the myth, thunder is Perun, god of the sky, hunting Veles, who hides in trees, under stones and in water.
Veles - god of the underworld, waters, magic, livestock, song and oats. The birch is one of his trees.
Nightjars -birds believed to carry souls between the worlds of the living and the dead; their churring near a house foretold a death.
