I own nothing.

I present: The Firebird and Princess Vasilisa

Ships: Rusame

A royal huntsman named Alfred found a feather of the firebird and, though his horse Matthew warned him against it, picked it up. The King of Belarus demanded that he bring him the bird. Alfred went to his horse, who told him to demand that measures of corn be spread over the fields. He did, and the firebird came to eat and was caught. He brought it to the king, who said that because he had done that, now he must bring him Prince Ivan to be his bride.

Matthew had him demand food and drink for the journey, and a tent with a golden top. With it, they set out to a lake where the prince was swimming. He set up the tent and set out the food. Ivan came and ate, and drinking foreign wine, he became drunk and slept. Alfred picked up the sleeping prince and for a moment, thought about running away with the handsome prince.

Prince Ivan refused to marry Nikolai without his wedding robes from the bottom of the sea. The king sent Alfred for it and with a heavy heart, went off for Ivan's robes. He rode the horse to the sea, where Matthew found a great crab and threatened to crush it. The crab asked the horse to spare it and summoned all the crabs to fetch the wedding gown.

Prince Ivan refused to marry without the king ordering Alfred to bathe in boiling water. Alfred went to his horse, who charmed his body. He bathed in the boiling water and became handsome. Then, the king went to bathe in the same water, and died. The people took Alfred as king instead, and he married the prince.
