Description
The Alkonost is, according to Russian mythos and folklore, a creature with the body of a bird but the head of a beautiful woman. It makes sounds that are amazingly beautiful, and those who hear these sounds forget everything they know and want nothing more ever again. She lives in the underworld with her counterpart the sirin. The alkonost lays her eggs on a beach and then rolls them into the sea. When the alkonost's eggs hatch, a thunderstorm sets in and the sea becomes so rough that it is untravelable.

Glad to see that not all your images are bound to give me nightmares 
. Happy Holidays!
The rings are beautiful. But I would like to see how you imaging Alkonost herself. Would it be back in the land of nightmares?
And thank you for reminding me of all these folklore characters. I remember liking the idea of Sirin and Alkonost the most - they had both beauty and freedom.
