Creative Writing: Rusalka

In the gray morning, he heard the song. Melody and harmony awakened him from his sleep and climbed the hut from the bedroom window. He stood up to the elbow and listened enthusiastically; it was not loud, but it was not soft. It is like a lover who missed came home, called him and became missing. His idea jumped to a girl who cried for her name who lived with him last night. He waited for an answer, but he did not get an answer. Sighs, he got up from the bed and wore the clothes he wore that day: faded cotton shirt, dark pants and boots.

Rusalkas is a Greek siren and is a Slavic equivalent of naiads. The nature of Rusalkas is different from folk tradition, but according to the ethnologist D. K. Zelenin, they all share a common element. They are insecure spirits of filthy dead. They are usually ghosts of young women who may die of murder or suicide violence or premature death, especially when they are drowning, before the wedding. Rusalkas is said to live in lakes and rivers. They look like pretty young women with pale green hair and pale skin. And that suggests that they are related to the number of days spent underwater under floating weeds and faint sun. After darkening, they can dance together under the moonlight, call the young people by name, invite them into the water, and make them drown. In southern Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, the characteristics of Rusalka are ideal and dangerous and emphasized by Russian writers of the 19th century.

These slab mythical water fairies are often translated as "mermaids", but originally they were thought to be benevolent because they came out of the water and watered the crops in the spring. But there are also darker aspects in myths. As Rusalka is considered a spirit of a girl who dies violently, they often tempt men and children to die of their own water. Their translucent skin gives them a creepy appearance and they occasionally use their long hair to catch and tangle their victims. Perhaps like the most traditional mermaid version, finfolk is a sea shape transformation. Considering nomads who can go between land-based homes and their ancestors - Finfolkaheem-finfolk tends to be in a contradictory relationship with humans. They often kidnap people for their spouse and make them a servant more than their partner. Finfork has affinity with silver, and people can avoid their domination by throwing silver coins.
