Once upon a time… in a faraway land where the clouds almost touched the earth and the mornings smelled of roses, there was a small but magical kingdom called Alevorya . The kingdom’s most precious treasure was neither gold nor silver… but a magical crown called the Red Feather Crown .
This crown was no ordinary crown; it possessed a magical quality, radiating light even in the darkest night, listening only to the hearts of those who did good, and made of red feathers. Each red feather, with a deep blue glow as the crown was worn, would whisper, “This is the right path.”
The crown had long been renowned for its unwavering protection of all evil , which is why the wicked feared it and the righteous respected it.
But one day… the crown suddenly disappeared!
The kingdom was in turmoil, and the people were uneasy. “Without the crown, evil will come!” they whispered.
At that time, there lived a curious, brave little girl named Lina on the outskirts of the kingdom , who possessed a vivid imagination. Despite being a child, Lina always did the right thing and helped everyone.
When the crown disappeared, he went to the king and said:
“Your Majesty, if you permit, I may find the Crown of Red Feathers. For my heart seems to hear its whispers.”
The king was surprised at first, then he smiled when he saw the courage in Lina’s eyes:
“Go, Lina… Perhaps the crown has chosen you.”
Lina set off immediately. She walked for days, entering forests and crossing mountains. Finally, she reached the dark, echoing caves. These caves were a strange place where echoes spoke for themselves and footsteps revealed secrets.
A faint whisper rose from inside the cave:
“Lina… come… don’t be afraid…”
It was the crown! Lina followed the sound and found the Red Feather Crown deep in the cave, in the hands of a filthy shadow. The shadow’s name was Snow-Hole . This creature, nurtured by the whispers of evil, wanted to seize the crown and plunge the kingdom into darkness.
As the shadows drew closer to Lina, one of the feathers on the crown gleamed.
“A brave heart, a fearless step…” the feathers murmured.
Lina took a deep breath, extended her hand, and said:
“I walk for light, not evil. The crown wants to come with me!”
At that moment, all the feathers on the crown burst into flames. The dazzling light filled the cave, and the Snow-Hollow melted away. The crown floated through the air and gently landed on Lina’s head.
The feathers said in a sweet voice:
“Whoever finds us, becomes the guardian of goodness.”
Lina took the crown and returned it to the king, but the king said to her:
“The crown has chosen you, Lina. The honor of wearing it is now yours.”
And from that day forward, Lina became Alevorya’s youngest protector. With the light of the Crimson Feather Crown, evil could be found wherever it hid, and good would always triumph.
Three apples fell from the sky:
one for the storyteller, one for the listener,
and the most dazzling one for Lina, who wears the Crown of Red Feathers …
