A New Year's tale - Дмитрий Май

across the tundra. The wind howled, the trees blurred as they passed by, they moved until they reached the edge of the world where the sky kissed the earth. The stars shone brighter here, and the air was saturated with expectation. But when the Northern Lights began to appear, a problem arose. The light was dim, barely flickering, as if something was wrong.

"Light loses its magic, — Micah explained. — Only a pure heart can restore it, and you, Grisha, with your desire to see the unusual, can have such a heart.

Grisha looked at the faint twinkle of the sky and felt a sense of responsibility that he had never known. He closed his eyes, reached out to the light with his spirit and, to his amazement, it reacted. Grisha seemed to be conducting an orchestra, every movement of his hand gave birth to a new shade, a new iridescence of light. But then the earth trembled and a creature born of darkness and fear appeared from the shadows, intending to devour the last of the fires. Grisha froze, but it didn't scare Mick.

— Don't be afraid, Grisha. Remember a pure heart," Micah urged.

At the moment of enlightenment, Grisha realized that the being is drawn to doubt and fear, to the very things that can obscure the light inside us. He stepped forward, his heart full of love and joy that he felt for the world, Mika and the magic that he was now a part of.

"Your darkness has no power here. I'm not afraid! Grisha declared with newfound strength. The creature hesitated, then recoiled, its outline disappearing into the night as the Northern Lights burst into a symphony of colors brighter than ever.

Magic was restored not by force, but by the courage to confront the darkness with the help of a heart full of light. At the dawn of the New Year, Grisha and Mika stood under the heavenly dance of the northern lights, a testament to the power of faith and magic that dwells in a pure heart.

— Thank you, Mika. It was the most charming New Year's Eve," Grisha said, and the beauty of the sky was reflected in his eyes.

— And you, Grisha.

They watched the first dawn of the New Year, forever changed by the adventure they shared. It was a story that Grisha would tell for many years to come, a story of bravery, imagination and the charming northern lights dancing to the music of a pure heartbeat.

A magical New Year's adventure with Lena and Mika

Once upon a time, in a snow-covered village on the edge of a shimmering forest, there lived a sweet girl named Lena. She had bright eyes that sparkled like stars on a clear winter night. Lena loved New Year's Eve because it was filled with joy, laughter and the promise of new beginnings. On this special New Year's Eve, Lena had a wish: She wanted to see the northern lights dancing in the sky, coloring it with the colors of magic and miracles. But she didn't know how to find him. At that moment, a snow deer named Mika appeared at her window, whose horns seemed to reach for the stars.

— Hello, Lena! I'm Mika," the Deer said in a warm, friendly voice.

— Hi, Mika! Lena replied, her eyes wide with amazement. — Can you really talk?

— Yes, and I can also help you make your wish come true," Mika said with a wink.

Mika told Lena that the northern lights are timid and like to play hide-and-seek. He said he knew how to find him and that they needed to hurry up, as the New Year was about to begin! Wrapped in the coziest coat and scarf, Lena jumped on Mika's back, and together they went on an enchanting journey. As they rode through the forest, the trees whispered to them the secrets of the old year, saying goodbye to it with the rustle of leaves. Suddenly, the sky darkened and a blizzard began to swirl around them.

Lena held tight to Mika's fur as they bravely faced the blizzard.

"Don't worry, Lena," Mika said in an even and calm voice. — We are stronger than the storm.

Mika led them to a cave, where they waited for the snowstorm to pass. Inside, they found ice crystals shimmering like diamonds. Lena reached out to touch one and it began to glow with a soft blue light.

— What's going on? Lena gasped.

"The cave shows us the way, — Micah explained.

As they walked along the glowing path, the blizzard stopped and they were greeted by a sky full of stars. But the Northern Lights were still playing hide-and-seek.

A flock of hares jumped out from behind the trees, their white fur merged with the snow. They were jumping around Lena and Mika, twitching their noses.

"They want to help us," Mika said, understanding the silent message of the snow hares.

The hares led them to the top of a hill that touched the sky. There, the air hummed with tension, and the snow underfoot sparkled with hidden colors.

"It's almost time, — Micah whispered. — Make a wish, Lena!

Lena closed her eyes and wished with all her heart. When the clock struck midnight, marking the beginning of the New Year, an exciting spectacle unfolded. The northern lights appeared, gracefully dancing across the sky in waves of green, purple and blue colors.

— We found him, Mika! Look! Lena exclaimed, and her heart beat with joy.

— You made it possible, Lena. Your desire, your courage and your kind heart," Mika said, gently nuzzling her. Together they watched the lights until
