Sequence
After Alexi spared the life of the Golden Mare, the horse became devoted
to Alexi. Alexi became a huntsman for the Tsar. As his fi rst order of business,
Alexi captured the Firebird. Next, he asked Alexi to fi nd Yelena the Fair so
she could become his wife. Alexi persuaded Yelena to meet the Tsar. After
Yelena discovered the Tsar’s intention, she told the Tsar she would not get
married without her grandmother’s ring. The Golden Mare volunteered to
fetch the ring from the lake. Yelena convinced the Tsar that she would turn
a pot of water into a fountain of youth for him. The Tsar decided to test the
water by having Alexi thrown in. Alexi survived and came out of the water
with the ring. The Tsar was convinced that his youth would be restored but he
became an infant instead. Since he was too young to rule, Alexi became the
Tsar and married Yelena. Alexi released the Firebird and the Golden Mare.
