In the very old times, when the blue birds were almost in every house, and the sun was a white-bearded old man, who visited every person in the world, this wonderful story took place. It happened in times when all people believed in magic, courage and, of course, in love. So let the tale begins.
In far land, near the Enchanted Forest, and too close to Seven Rivers lived a merry folk. They inhabited this land since the days of Red dragons that flew away in the search of Golden Rainbow. Since those days, they never returned. People believed that it was because of Magician, who guarded that magic miracle. Golden Rainbow could change everyone's life. The magic strength of this thing was unique. It could fulfill all your desires. I am not sure if everyone in this land dreamt about it, as if people were happy enough. They had everything they needed. Golden fields of splendid fruits, rivers full of golden fish, non-mortal cattle, and many other things to be happy enough. They were too happy to desire Golden Rainbow. But one day changed their belief.
Miracles are miracles, especially in Fairy world. No one expected bad times. Alas, it happens without our wish. A black rider wounded and blooded came to the castle of Kindhearted King and told that A Black Wizard was coming to destroy the last Castle of Goodness. "What happened to others" - said the king. "They are defeated. The eternal Night covered them forever"- said the Black Rider. It was the night and almost every inhabitant of this peaceful land had its sweet dreams, But there was a danger. It came closer with every hour, minute, second. "Wake up the warriors. Be prepared to defending!"- said His Majesty. "What a madness to defeat Magic without magic!" - said the Counselor. "How could I forget that we can't defeat Evil being in the same time Good? Magic deeds are for Magicians. Only they can defeat the equals. Please, find the White witch! Take her at once. She is our last hope..."
White Witch lived in the strange place, not a wonderful one. It was a very gloomy and affright place. A bog, in short. "What a place!"- shouted the King's men. "Just for a magic things, or..." "Welcome Good Folk"-hissed the White Witch, and her voice frightened all the men. But, despite it, she was a kind old fairy. So, she was taken to the Castle. "All right"-said she" That's not a problem for me. I know all the magic tricks. For example, I can build the defending Magic Wall. I can make your land invisible. I can turn everyone in the gentle clouds. But, that's not enough. I want to take you to Golden Rainbow, the safest place in the universe. Evil cannot find that. Anyway, it cannot touch it. It destroys anyone who has evil intentions."
So how it was that people heard about Golden Rainbow for the first time. "We must hurry up. I hear the pounding steps of Black Wizard. His Dragons are fast." "Seven winds please, come here. Seven Rivers make us disappear!" - said Witch her abracadabra. "A Lizard for Wizard. Dog's Hair for Unfair." She took her wand and built many steps. It was a ladder to the skies. "One step to one Castle in the Skies. Two steps for People not to Hear Mandrake's cries!" "Hurry up, children. Here's your lullabies"- she put them to sleep and they floated in the air. "That will be faster"-said she-"Sorry for that, kids." People were running. The fastest race in their life. They weren't cowards. They were the bravest warriors. But they were afraid for children and their wives.
Meanwhile the black clouds of magic rushed from the Enchanted Forest. Spirits of Forest couldn't hold the evil pressure. And they surrendered. It became black. Black wind ruined everything on its way. Without mercy! Without any pity for the innocent creatures! That was a tragedy for faerie world.
"White Horses, ride the skies. Take all the people to the place where the Golden Rainbow lies!"-said White Witch. Many invisible chariots started for the skies. "Let there be a rain!"-shouted the Witch. "Let there be mighty mist" -screeched she in despair. "Let there be a miracle!" Suddenly, they saw The Miracle of Miracles. Beyond the numerous clouds, there was a Golden Rainbow. It shone through the darkness as if it was a myriad of thousand stars. From it, a Legion of Golden Warriors descended to protect people. They defeated the dark army of Black Wizard. The Good won. Evil was defeated again. Since that day, merry folk lived peacefully and happily. The Golden Rainbow since that was not a rumour. It helped people to escape Black Wizard. It existed and it exists. Just imagine it and it will appear.
So, our tale ends. Now, you know what is Golden Rainbow, don't you?
