(Music: Мельница - Обряд)

Another illustration based on Slavic themed song I find inspirational. This artwork is based on the song by Мельница - Обряд, which was written for the movie "Dragon - love is a scary tale" but unfortunately wasn't included into it.

In this story, a fierce dragon used to rule the land, stealing the female sacrifices freely given to keep order. Then, one day, a man defeats the dragon to save the woman he loves. Years later in more peaceful times, Princess Miroslava still believes in fairy tales. But it’s time to put away such silly things when she is promised in marriage to the descendant of the dragon slayer, Igor (who, as it turns out, isn’t as nearly brave and noble as his ancestor).
Dressed in her wedding gown, she is put out on the water. The ceremony echoes the ancient custom when young beauties were sacrificed to the beastly dragon. Soon, the ancient ritual song soars through the land, awakening a sleeping dragon. The princess is kidnapped before her marriage in a surprise to the entire village that believed the dragons were no more.

In captivity, she meets a mysterious man named Arman who keeps his distance. It’s not long before Miroslava realizes that Arman IS the dragon and he is trying to keep the beast at bay and keep her from harm. He never wanted to transform into the dragon but the song was too irresistible, awakening something more primal in him.

As the two begin to know one another, of course, love blossoms in this beauty and the beast tale (the structure is very close to the literary story). She feels drawn to the dragon and the man. Yet, she fears him at the same time. And as Igor comes closer to discovering the secret island hidden in mist and fog, Miroslava begins to question whether she wants to be found at all. At the end of the story, of course, love decides everything.
