This story took place in ancient times. Times of kings and queens, princes and princesses, and of course, magic.
In that distant time, two warring kingdoms existed side by side, and they could not seem to make peace. The only thing that saved these kingdoms from war was an incredible flower that bloomed at New Year and brought joy to the residents with its extraordinary beauty all year long.
This flower grew on the border between the two kingdoms and was carefully guarded. The reason was that this wonderful flower held incredible magic: a magical spark, given to the two kingdoms by a kind fairy, who hoped that one day they would live in peace and harmony. The magical power of this spark gave all the people around joy, happiness, and love.
As the kind fairy had hoped, the enmity between the two kingdoms began to gradually fade. After all, it's very difficult to be in conflict when you're truly happy. And so the kings and queens of both kingdoms decided to make peace. At that moment, wonderful daughters were born in both royal families, and they agreed to raise them almost like sisters in peace and harmony.
It seemed that nothing could prevent the happiness of the kingdom's residents. But as it turned out, the evil witch, sister of the kind fairy, learned of the great power of the spark and decided at all costs to destroy it and return discord to the peaceful life of the kingdoms.
Despite the best protection the kingdoms could muster, the evil witch still managed to reach the flower and hopelessly destroyed the spark.
News of this spread instantly throughout the kingdoms. In every tavern, in every house, people knew that the secret of the magical flower was destroyed. As if by magic, all the residents at once lost all their joy and became gloomy. The iron gates closed again, and the feud resumed.
And soon New Year was supposed to arrive, but preparations for it were now put on hold. After all, the new flower would not bloom, which meant the holiday was no longer needed by anyone.
The only ones who managed to keep a spark of joy and goodness in their hearts were the young princesses Odette and Anna. The brave girls decided at all costs to return joy and the magic of the New Year holiday to the residents of the kingdoms. With no other choice, the princesses set out to find the kind fairy.
Finding the kind fairy turned out to be quite a difficult task, but the young princesses, driven by the thought that their beloved kingdoms would be able to celebrate New Year in an atmosphere of joy and magic, finally reached the valley of kind fairies.
Dear fairy.
Anna began.
Our kingdoms desperately need your help.
I know of your trouble.
The fairy gently interrupted her.
My sister destroyed the magical power of the flower and an atmosphere of enmity has once again settled over your kingdoms.
Yes, dear fairy, we would like to ask you to give us another spark so we can return the former joy and merriment.
The second princess pleaded.
Unfortunately, I cannot give you a new spark.
The fairy said with regret, spreading her hands.
Looking at the girls' upset faces, the fairy added:
I want to share a secret with you. The thing is, the peace in your kingdoms did not depend on any spark at all. It was merely a way to reconcile the residents and give them hope for joy.
The princesses' faces became even more discouraged.
I will help you return peace again, but in a different way.
And the fairy, without wasting a second, since it was already New Year's Eve, transported the princesses to their kingdoms. And then incredible transformations began.
Beautifully decorated Christmas trees and lanterns appeared in the squares, and every house now looked like a toy. A sea of sweets, music, and light. And most importantly, the gates between the kingdoms fell. People, amazed by the incredible transformations, rushed out into the streets and oh, a miracle!
They did not start arguing and fighting as they had before. They understood that kindness and joy are in their souls and they no longer needed any spark. This is how the young and brave princesses helped return peace to their kingdoms and saved New Year, which now became the most important holiday. The kingdoms united and never quarreled again.
