Part 5: "The death of Goryn Chernozmeevich".
Goryn's brother Koschey felt that trouble had happened, he took offense at the warriors of the Irian, and decided to avenge his relative. He himself was also immortal, therefore he was not afraid of the battle with the heroes, even though Stribog, Sventovit, Dazhdbog and Semargl helped them. He flew out of the dungeon, and began to throw huge rocks at the offenders. He began to water them with fire and cover them with ashes. Shoot with lightning and sprinkle with poisonous potion.
The Iryan warriors cut Koschey's head, and in its place a new one grows. Hands are chopped, and others appear from the shoulders. Dazhdbog pinned him to the rock with his spear, and Koschey, as if made of hot wax, would turn on his side and jump off the spear.
Then Dazhdbog rushed to Iriy, and went straight to the youngest daughter of Lada to Mare-Morena. He says, they say, you Mara know all the secrets of death, maybe you know where Koshchei's death is hidden?
Promotional video:
- I know. That's why they call me a witch. Only it is useless for a solar warrior to talk about that. Not everyone should be aware of such secrets without harm to themselves.
- Help Morenushka Koshchei to defeat him. Only about that I ask you to dashingly lock. After all, no one will live quietly either on Earth or in Iria.
- You are strong Dazhdbog, and powerful. But even a fellow like you cannot cope with the burden of such a terrible secret. Nobody can know the secret of death. Neither your own nor someone else's.
Then Mara-Morena sighed heavily, and from her breathing, the grass and flowers in the meadow froze. Silently, she stood on the rainbow, and went down to the ground along it. I went to the deepest forest of Lukomorye, where there was a hut of one of Viy's daughters - Yaga, who commanded all the undead on Earth.
In that hut there is an underground floor through which you can go down to the Navi world. Yaga Vievna opened the underground to Mara Svarogovna, and she went underground roads straight to the palace of Koshchei Chernobogovich.
And Zorka, Vechorka and Polunochka were really tired of fighting. Koschey had already decided that victory was on his side, when suddenly Mara-Morena came out in front of him, and said:
- Enough! Stop cursing in vain. Take me prisoner, and let the fellows go about their business. Otherwise, it will be bad for everyone. And to us and to people in particular.
Koschey was delighted, because he did not want to fight at all, because he was lazy painfully. He took Mara's arm, and led his chambers to show.
And the heroes went to look for a way out of the dark kingdom. On the way, they met a wondrous tree that grows upside down. In the crown it is a bird's nest, and under the crown nagas and asps crawl. Suddenly one of the three chicks fell out of the nest. Already the asps with naga pounced on him, but the heroes did not allow evil to be committed, and took the chick from them. They put him back in the nest.
At that moment the earth trembled all around, eerie screams were heard under the earthly vault, a wonderful tree swayed. It flew home, flapping its wings a Mogul bird with iron claws. The one that was born at the beginning of the world from an iron egg. That her nest was in a tree.
She sat on the floor in front of the heroes, and said:
- Thank you, good fellows. For the salvation of my son, ask what you wish.
The heroes bowed to the Mogul bird, and asked to indicate the way out of the underworld. The Mogul bird put three heroes on its back and flew from the dungeon to the exit. Outside, three maidens awaited them, the queens of the copper, silver and gold kingdoms. They thanked the Mogul bird, and went to where Goryn had kidnapped three queens. While walking to the house, the three heroes with the queens fell in love, and after their arrival they played three weddings in one day. The feast was a mountain for three days and three nights. And after nine months, each queen gave birth to eleven sons.
And Mara, after saving the heroes, came with Koshchey to his palace, richly decorated with stolen gold, silver and gems. They had a feast without guests, and for forty days they drank poison and ate frogs with worms. Under the earth, time flows differently, the week seems like one hour. On the fortieth day, Koschey got drunk, began to feel Maru's knees. And as she gives him a finger on the fingers with a silver spoon, let him say:
- Koschey! Do you know, oohlik, that I came for your death? I know about the cherished egg.
- S-s-s-s !!! Hush! This secret is known only to you, me and Makoshi. Be quiet, if someone else did not visit.
- Okay. Only you, for my silence, give me power over your kingdom equally with you. I want to be the queen of all three kingdoms. Rule and Reality I already own, give me power in the kingdom of Navi.
- You are not in charge in the rule. In Yavi only in winter you have strength, and in Navi you will never get power, as long as I am a co-ruler here.
- Then take me as your wife, dashing Koschey. Let's reign together. You and brother Viy will manage your affairs, and I will cut the threads of human lives with a sickle, where Dolya and Nedolya tied knots. My maids will serve you too. Come on! Agree.
Koschey scratched his bald head, and decided that he liked Mara even without poison. "Come on": - He says.
At the wedding feast, Mara poured her magic herbs into Koshchei's goblet, and when he drank, he immediately forgot himself in a sound sleep.
She took Morena Koshchei to a secret cave, chained it with iron chains, charmed, which no mortal could break, and blocked the entrance with stone slabs, and she went from Navi - his kingdom away.
- Not for you, Koschey Chernozmeevich, to tell me! I cannot destroy you at all, I cannot break the cherished egg, born in the beginning of the world, - great power is hidden in that egg! But now you can't sit in a damp dungeon for many years. And in your kingdom of Koscheev, I will be the boss, if I wish.
Rune of Mary-Morena.
At the exit from the underworld, the giants Dubynya, Gorynya and Usynya were greatly surprised to see Morena Svarogovna. Usnya wanted to turn around like a snake and block her way, but she just poked at him, and the giant snake ran away, tail between his legs.
Morena, crossed the Smorodina River along the Kalinov Bridge, on which only the dead walk freely, and then only in one direction, and returned back to the Irian Garden.
And only one of the sons of the Chernobogovs, Viy, remained in the Navi kingdom. But he did not see the clear light, therefore he never personally ascended to the Explicit Kingdom. And there was no particular need for that. Several sons of Goryn, the Serpents, remained in Yavi. People named them by their patronymic: - Serpent Gorynych.
True, over time, those snakes were crushed, their heads became less and less, until, in the end, only one remained. And they were inferior in size to their ancestors. Those who knew how to breathe fire were met for the last time even before the great flood happened.
9. The birth of Perun and the Skipper beast.
“And now Mother Sva beats with her wings
On His sides on both sides, As if on fire, all shining with light.
And all Her feathers are beautiful:
Black, blue, reddish-brown, Yellow and silver
Gold and white.
And it shines just like the sun-king, Flies along the path of the sun
And also shines with the seventh beauty, Bequeathed from the Gods.
And Perun, seeing her, will roar
Thunders in that clear sky."
(Velesov book)
At the time when Lada gave birth to Perun, there was a real commotion in Iriya. The mountains swayed, thunder thundered, the lakes were stormy, the grasses fell. So the youngest son of Lada, a strong, violent, restless fidget Perun, was born, as Makosh was tied up. Like lightning, the son of Svarog, Perun the Thunderer, appeared to the joy of people, and to the fear of the enemies of people.
When Perun was born, he cried out to the whole world at the top of his voice. And from this cry of Perunov the seas splashed, rocks began to collapse, lights flashed between the clouds. And then the heavenly father Svarog began to lull the mighty son - he struck the heavenly vault with a heavy hammer, so that thunders would thunder in the sky, so that the rumble would be all over the earth: - “Bayu-bye, byu-bye, sleep Feathered, fall asleep.”
Perun.
And under the thunderous rolls Perun fell asleep, calmed down. And slept for three summers and three months.
As Perun woke up, he screamed again. And then Father Svarog, together with Semargl Svarozhich, took him to the heavenly forge. There they inflated the furs, lit a fire, and on that fire they began to temper young Perun. Tempered with fire, doused with water, so that Perun became stronger than strong, stronger than strong.
When Perun hardened, he asked his father Svarog: - "Give me a hundred-day club and a horse that can withstand me!"
Svarog gave his son one hundred percent club and brought a young stallion so that the horse would grow with Perun, so that he would be his first assistant.
Then Perun went across Iriy, and let's swing his club to the right and left. He destroyed everything he met on the way. And Svarog chided him, they say, the power was not given to you in order to destroy, but in order to protect from enemies what was given to immortals and humans.
- Soon you will grow up, and then you will be a thunderer, master of thunder and lightning. And you will also command the okiyans and the entire water element. Indrik - the beast will serve you, so that you rule the underground currents - wells and krinits.
As he heard about that, Chernozmey fell into despair. How so, really the young upstart will rule the underground currents! Goryn was burned, Koshchei was imprisoned, now the dark swung into the waters! Offended, and created the fierce Skipper beast.
Skipper. Nineteenth century tile.
That Skipper had a head like a lion, copper wool, iron hooves and skin, and on his tail a sting like a bee, which poisoned everyone. Skipper's snout is like a sharp spear, ears are like arrows, horns on a lion's head, and legs like four pillars. He was as tall as a mountain the Skiper-beast, and his mouth was like a gate through which a whole herd of cows passes. He knows how to hiss like a snake, and he knew how to whistle like a nightingale, and roar like an animal, which made the forests bow to the ground, rivers poured out of the banks, the grasses dried in the fields, and huge stones fell from the mountains.
The Skiper began to walk around the Earth, to create great troubles. He clung to the clouds with his horns and climbed into the kingdom of Rule. And there, in the Irian garden, three girls, the Perunov sisters, were gathering flowers: Lelya, Zhiva and Morena. Skipper breathed on them, and they fell senseless to the ground. I grabbed them in an armful, and well, tick into the Navier kingdom, until they hit it. He turned the beauties into three hairy monsters, and since then there has been no love, no spring, no winter, no summer on earth. Everything in the kingdom of Reveal has broken down.
Skipper went for new loot. Looks, someone is playing at the pebble, waving a hundred-dollar club. Skipper-beast looked closely, otherwise Perun amuses himself with his young strength. Skipper was surprised, sat down on a stump, and said:
- Hey, man! I promise you mountains of gold. Become my assistant. In my kingdom, a liberal, a democcion, trawl-wali … Why are you going to vegetate in slavery?
Perun laughed, already coughed. He says in response:
- My father Svarog, my Lada is my mother, and I do not serve anyone. And I'm not going to serve. Only in the name of the Sort-Word am I ready for companionship. Moreover, for the sake of my mother Lada and my father Svarog.
Foam came out of Skipper's mouth. He shook and howled throughout the Savior. Slash him, shout, dense, chop him into beef stroganoff. The dark army pounced on. Just do not take Perun, their swords and claws are sharp, they did not leave a scratch on the body. Then the Skipper-animal wanted to drown in the ocean-sea, but the waters of the sea do not take Perun - he does not drown in high waves. The Skiper-beast wanted to burn Perun, but the underground fire does not take Perun either. It does not burn, it does not burn. Then Skiper dug a deep hole with his horns and pushed Perun the warrior into it. He covered that pit with oak shields and stones of one hundred percent, closed it with an iron door, covered it with loose sands and, sitting down on top, and said:
- You will not see Perun, the white light. Everything, baked.
Perun fell asleep deeply, and Skipper reigned in Yavi. The humans didn't understand anything. They thought it was supposed to be, and just endured.
And then Lada went to Makoshi, who weaved the threads of fate in Iria together with Dolya and Nedolya, to tell what was happening on Earth. Lada was stunned by that story and began to touch the living threads in her hands. I thought, thought, and says:
- Only your violent son Perun can cope with the Skipper. So bequeathed by the Almighty Rod, and so tied with my threads. Find the missing brother Perun, then he will gain the strength to defeat the Skiper.
Immediately, a commotion began throughout the entire vault of heaven. Thunder, lightning, water poured onto the ground. And the bird Sva flew out of the clouds. Previously, they called her Glory, and then they began to say simply: - Sva.
Bird Swa.
Sva put Lada on her back and flew to Svarog. We arrived, and Lada says:
- Daddy, raise all your squads. We urgently need to rescue your son, Perun.
Svarog hummed an alarming song on the harp, and the birds Alkonost, Sirin, Stratim, Dazhdbog, Khors, Semargl and Stribog arrived at the sounds of it.
They combed all the kingdoms up and down, but nowhere did they find brother Perun. They flew around all the oceans-seas, but even there they did not notice Perun. The high miracle birds began to fly around the mountains, but even with their sharp eyes they could not see the traces of Perun who had disappeared.
Only at the entrance to the dark cave was a herd of serpent swarming, and next to it was the Skiper-beast. As he saw the prophetic birds, he hastened to get away, away from God's eyes, beyond the inaccessible ridges, into a dark gorge.
And then the gods understood: somewhere nearby Perun was hidden, somewhere here their brother was buried. Then the magic birds hit the ground and turned into immortals. Alkonost became Dazhbog and Khors, the Sirin bird became Veles and Semargl, and the Stratim bird became Stribog.
- Where is Perun, our brother, answer the beast Skipper!
But not a sound was heard in response. The sly Skipper went underground, he didn't even show his nose! And then, to Perunov's happiness, because of the fast river, Perunov's horse galloped from the blue distance. The one donated by Svarog.
And an eagle soared into the sky, Perun's henchman, to show the place where his master is buried. Stribog blew harder, and instantly loose sands flew in all directions. Dazhdbog struck with a sword, and the iron door collapsed, scattered stones of one hundred percent for Khora, heated Semargl with a flame of iron doors, and Veles smashed the oak shields into chips with one blow.
And below in the cold pit Perun slept soundly.
They began to think how they could wake up their brother, how they could revive the mighty god. And then the prophetic bird Gamayun ascended to heaven. They tied her a barrel under her wings so that the prophetic bird of the sacred suria would collect in Iria, and they also punished that the bird Gamayun from the Ripean mountains would bring living water in its beak.
The bird Gamayun rushed faster than the wind, flew to Iriy, scooped up a barrel of surya, and took live water into its beak. And she returned back, carried her burden to the Svarozhich brothers.
They washed Perun with living water, the thunderer opened his eyes, laughed, rejoicing at the white light. He rose to his strong legs, straightened his broad shoulders, and Perun became more beautiful than before. For three hundred years, Perun grew up, matured, his golden mustache and a silver beard grew.
Then the relatives brought Perun to drink the sacred suria, brought from the Ripean mountains. Perun drank surya and felt a valiant strength in himself.
- Your prophecy, Skipper, did not come true, - said Perun, I see a white light, I walk on the ground, and I look at the Sun.
And the brothers Svarozhichi answered him:
- Sleep you, Perun, eternal sleep, if we did not come to the rescue. Take the second glass!
Perun drank the second glass of sacred suria and sensed such a great power in himself that he could move the entire dome of heaven from its place. Perun went knee-deep into the land. Then they gave him the rest of the sacred surya to drink.
- What do you feel now, brother?
- I feel that the force is halved. Exactly as much of it now as needed. Now I will get even with Skipper.
Perun got on the horse of his beloved, and rode to Iriy to Lada's mother to ask permission to fight with Skiper. Lada blessed her son, and she herself gathered him for the battle.
And lightning flashed in the sky, and a thunderous roll struck the ground.
