Sage about Ragaina

In ancient times, when dark-faced people didn’t have a memory and hearts, the bright star fell down from the sky to this darkness.

And the star had given a birth to great people, who were higher than trees. Their hair was whiter than snow and the eyes were shining like a morning sky. They were called-giants.

And the biggest from them went up to the mountain and observed the rivers, which were full of fish, the woods with game and said:

It is the worthy country for living. Here we will build up our castles and give our wisdom and force to this land.

The giants had taken the dark-faced in slavery and learnt them built the houses, make clothes, grew bread. They enriched the county and make the people happy.

Thousand years have passed. The giants started to marry with ordinary people and there were many children with fair hair and blue eyes, but not so tall.

People became proud of their original, started to laugh at the Gods because referred themselves to the giants. They declared the war against Gods, calling the evil spirits and dragons.

But Gods destroy beings and ghosts, and punished people-gave someone’s lifes and stayed others without fire. And the giants had never dealt with people.

Last giantess Ragaina locked the entrance to the castle and threw the key in front of gates. Only strong-willed, noble and kind man may come in-she said and wait her husband in breathless suspense.

Many arrogant men tried to pick up this key. But nobody did. Ragaina was terribly upset and prepared to die. But suddenly, the prince of the Prussia appeared on the road. His heart was clear and there is bravery in his eyes. He had picked up the key, unlocked the castle and made the last giantes happy
