The Tale of Vlad the Crow

From early childhood, Vlad lived in the mansion of the Kyiv prince. However, he was not happy even for a single day: he lived as a slave, having been sold to the prince for the good of the state while still a child. Although Vlad did not suffer from severe deprivation, and his life was plentiful and measured, he did not know peace. His soul called him far, far away… But where it called him - he did not know, until he met Koschei the Deathless, who, unknowingly, showed Vlad the true path. This path turned out to be directly connected to Koschei, and now the life of the Deathless one depends solely on his faithful crow.
