Sara: Don't marry me to that idiot fairy! >(

Tyrian: Don't marry -me- to anybody! >( ..actually I suppose I wouldn't mind if I had to marry Sara.

EDIT: I probably should add a brief version ^-^;

So one day, when Prince Ivan has got all three of his sisters married off, he decides he should marry too. So he goes out in search of a bride. He comes across a battlefield covered in countless slain warriors. He asks who has done this, and one of the warriors left alive tells him it was Marya Morevna, a warrior princess. He seeks out this princess and asks her to marry him, and she agrees. They live happily together for a while until she decides to go to war again. She leaves her husband to 'keep house' and tells him that he must not open the wardrobe (in some versions, this is the door to the dungeon, but I heard 'wardrobe' first). Inside he finds a chained man, Koschei the Deathless. The man asks him for water, and he obliges. The man asks him for more and more water... he continues to oblige. Finally, Koschei breaks free, having regained his powers, and he flies off out of the palace and Ivan sees him carry off Marya. He challenges Koschei and is killed, but his sisters and their husbands bring him back with the Waters of Life and Death. ...I forget what happens, a magic horse and a Baba Yaga are involved. The usual quest-y type stuff, you know X3

Never tell anyone 'don't open that X' or 'Never go into the Y'. Just don't.

There are two reasons I did this:
1: Marya Moreva is an awesome fairytale.
2: It amuses me no end to have Sara and Tyrian play Marya an Ivan X3

Note: Much like how in English language fairytales the generic prince is called 'Charming' in Russian fairy tales, he is called Ivan.

Also note: This is not a Grimm fairy tale, it's Russian.

Koschei the Deathless is also a frequent villain.

If you want to know how the tale ends, and indeed the bajillion details I missed out, you'll have to go find it.

Tyrian would make a pretty good house husband XD
