Thanks to a spell discovered in an ancient grimoire, the mage finds himself in the Princess Castle. What will he find there? How will he be received? What will he ultimately gain? Or perhaps he will himself part with something valuable?
I stumbled upon the draft of this piece on an old, dusty mobile drive. I had forgotten about it, thought it was lost. Well, now that it's found, I'll edit it and post it.
P.S. I realize that the text contains a lot of Russian cultural references. Unfortunately, it's not always possible to find exact English equivalents, and sometimes it's completely impossible. If anything is unclear—please ask. I'll do my best to answer.
