An old yarn. The Distorting Mirror Kingdom

That was decades ago.
Snow Queen was then too young.
Her mother ruled the World,
but She became once old
and should to hand the crown
to anybody strong.

There was declared indeed
the challenge for the crown,
according to the Law.
The daughter of Old Queen
should fight the battle down
to rule by right the World.

The challenge had been run.
The main young Snow Queen rival
was fast and haughty Wind.
They fought till the red dawn.
The winner of the struggle
was then by right Snow Queen.

Young Wind was just amazed
by fragile strength of Queen
and bowed before her feet.
His cheeks become bright-red
and He had stretched forth him
a bird in a white cage.

It touched her fragile heart,
She posted him the scroll
by bird through sunset blush.
She couldn't sleep that night,
expecting mail so strong.
The dawn had brought the hush...

Since then, it is supposed,
the mistress heart is slammed
and it's forever cold.
Since then they are sworn foes
and play the hating game,
exciting all the World...
