And ahead was an initiation rite for coming of age. The most worthy would earn the right to lead the circle dances and choose suitors, as well as receive valuable magical gifts; the loser would be given as a fiancée to Chernobog.

And while she was thinking and guessing, everything suddenly spun and whirled so fast that now try to untangle that strange tangle!
