A fairy tale

Rödluvan and the snow horses
Part 1 The unicorn
2004

En early morning on a cold winter day, a white horse came to the yard. It was an unicorn. When the low winter sun went up, the whole yard was like a fairy tale land.

He had no name. People who met him just called him for "Unicorn". He was so shiny and white.

Me, Rödluvan felt so happy and went down to the yard to say hello to Unicorn. I said: "Hi, welcome to our yard. Where do you come from"? Unicorn said: "I'm coming from fairy tale land. I answered. "And I am a fairy tale figure". Then we both were laughing.

Unicorn said. "I know you are a fairy tale figure. But Red Riding Hood where is the wolf?"
"The wolf was just here playing and rolling around in the snow. But now he did run back to the woods".

Unicorn said: "And you have been rolling around in the snow too. Your red hood is getting white". LOL :-D

Unicorn said: "I will stay here a while and rest. I made a long trip in Winter Land.

The sun went up higher and then the unicorn became whiter. As white as snow. But this unicorn was made of snow.

I walked home, because it was so cold. But I could see the unicorn from the window and I waved to him.

The sun went down and it was getting dark. Unicorn was sitting under a lamppost. Then he got glistening sparkles on his whole body. Later I went down a while to have a talk with Unicorn.

I said: "Please tell a little more about yourself" Unicorn said: "Some kind people  made me as a snow sculpture. And after that I have been travelling around in Winter Land to fight against evil".

An unicorn is a snow white stallion with one spiral golden horn in the middle of his forehead. His hoofs are coloured in gold too. The unicorn is the symbol for goodness and the evil fear him. Because the unicorn will fight the evil.
Snowflakes were falling down. I sat down a while beside Unicorn. It started snowing and everything was so peaceful.

I told Unicorn about the terrible computer who had been a server, but was dismissed from his task because he had been so evil. And now that server lived in a dark basement and tried to cause trouble for everyone.
That thing looks terrible and he's dangerous. And when the darkness is as darkest, he goes out and destroy the lamps in the Christmas tree.

He is also spreading computer virus so computers and people went sick.

Don't be afraid, he can't harm you anymore when I have been here. You are from now on protected.

The next day Unicorn was sitting in the sunlight again and watching the yard.
I got a bit of chocolate from Unicorn. His picture was on it.

Unicorn said: "You always need to fight for the good things. If you are good to others, then others will be good to you. The goodness will always win over the evilness".
 

Rödluvan and the snow horses.
Part 2. Two snow horses
 2004
A neighbour family build these beautiful snow horses on the yard. Then I wrote a story about them.
It was a cold winter morning. The sun was getting higher and could now reach the ground. That morning 2 snow horses came to the yard.
I felt so happy to see the horses. I said. "What are your names and where do you come from?"
The horse at the left said: "My name is Snow-White. I am the whitest horse in Winter Land. "And my name is Sparkle because I have a little sparkle on my forehead.

We owns of King Bore and he may ride on our back and we bring hem everywhere he want to go to. I said. "I know King Bore, once I met him".
King Bore, made of ice.                    Rödluvan, with warm clothes.

The horses were amazed. They said: "But you can't  be together with King Bore. He is made of ice and very cold. You should freeze to death. I answered. "My jacket is warm and I have several layers of clothes under it. And good mittens over my common gloves".
The snow horses were relaxing on the yard and listening to the storess  about my winter walks. After it the horses told me how they had been running in Winter Land over the mountains and through the woods. And to the palace there King Bore lives. King Bore lives in a palace made of glistening snow and ice.
Time went by so fast and it was getting dark. Winter Land turned in a blue colour. The horses said: "We call this for "The Blue hour."
It went darker and Sparkle said. "Sit down on my back, then I will ride you home". Then I was sitting on the horse. And was riding home through the beautiful blue Winter Land.
The horses were still there and I waved to them from the window. "Good night Snow-White and Sparkle". After that I went to bed. And I was dreaming that I followed the horses to King Bores glistening palace.
In the darkness of the night bad thing were happening. Some evil cut off the heads of the horses while they were sleeping. I felt sad to see this in the morning.

When King Bore heard this he went furious. His eyes were flashing.
Then there came a bad snowstorm. The snow was drifting and you hardly could stand up.
But in this storm the horses were repaired. And they were more beautiful now.
Here they looked so funny. But I always made them laugh with my funny stories.
And the horses told more about their life and about winter. And I told more about my walks.
Snow-White said. Now it soon will be dark. The Blue hour is already here. We have to go back to King Bore. But before we go you will give a little present.
And they gave me a clothespin with a shiny heart.. Snow-white said: "The heart is a symbol of love. And we all must spread love in the world. This clothespin is tiny but looks big on the picture.

After that he put me on his back and brought me home.
Now it was dark and the horses were ready to run. There came steam from then and the steam became like a mist.

The horses said. "Goodbye Rödluvan" and "Goodbye all the good neighbours.

Then the mist turned into fog and the horses disappeared. But they promised to come back the next winter
 

Rödluvan and the snow horses
part 3. The little snow horse.
 2005
I had been sick and she felt rather lonely and isolated. But now I should go out for little while. Then I saw a little snow horse beside the Christmas tree.
The horse went happy to see me, and went running to me.
I said. "Stop do not come to near me,  otherwise I can’t get you on a picture". Then the horse stopped and I could take the picture. I said to the horse:. "What's your name"?
My name is Hack because I have hack in my ear. ;)
The horse was running around and said: "Look such a big stable there the is on the yard. Maybe there is a lot of food for horses there.
"No, he, he, he, that's not a stable. It's a tent and they are storing windows there. But in summer there was a cat who went in into the tent and thought there was food for cats.
The horse went confused and said. But windows are sitting in the houses and not inside a tent. I said. They will put in new windows in the houses and store the new windows there. It takes a while before they can put in all the windows and then they are stored there for a while". The horse said: "Now I understand".
I told for the little horse that there were two bigger snow horses in the yard last year. Then the horse Hack said: "They are my parents. But they could not come this year, they have so much work to do".
Time went by so fast and it was getting dark. But Hack was standing under a lamppost and he looked so shiny in the lamp light. And both me and the horse told stories.
Suddenly the horse turned his head and was listening. Somebody said: "The Internet is down what shall we do". Now nobody could come out on the net and have contact with the world.
I said: "Oh my! Now I must go and walk to some tech who can repair the net.
The hors Hack said: "No you don't need to walk in the dark. I take you on my back and ride you to the tech. This was good because it was a long way to the tech. While riding, I told about an evil black server who used to destroy the network. The horse said. Don’t worry the tech will fix it.

The horse Hack stopped with a tunnel there the cables goes. Hack said. "Go down the staircase and you will find a skilled and kind tech. And the kind tech helped Rödluvan and her neighbours and repaired the network. After it Hack: I will ride you home on my back.
I was waving to the horse Hack from the balcony and said. Good night, sleep well. We'll meet again tomorrow.
The horse said: "Good night. Tomorrow we will can tell each other more stories.
