I like to think they’re gossip besties

Far away, beyond three-ninth kingdom, near Smorodina river lives a large cat chained to a post. Some believe this cat guards the passage over the river to the afterlife and guides dead souls to the Kalinovy bridge. Yet, should someone still living seek the passage, Baiyun cat will lure them with his purring songs and many stories. His name means ‘tale-teller, lullaby cat’ after all. His lovely voice can be heard three versts away, the traveler will inevitably fall asleep by the time they reach the post and then... Baiyun lets out his claws and teeth, and afterwards little is heard of the hero who came unprepared. As the folk kept telling stories of Baiyun, some have claimed he later became a companion to Baba Yaga, as no-one would be disrespectful enough to call Baiyun her pet. He might be seeking an occasional dish of sour cream or a spot by the fire during the cold winter - for a reasonable price, of course. Oh, Baiyun is very reasonable, and like all ‘nechist’ keeps his word. If a hero succeeds at defeating Baiyun, the cat will be able to offer great knowledge and help in many difficult tasks that all heroes seem to have.
