From an early Russian folktale. An evil king sets out to kill a 'luck child', the seventh son of a seventh son, whom it is prophesised will one day be king. Despite the king's repeated efforts, luck each time saves the boy, who ultimately exiles the king to a life as a ferryman, marries his daughter and inherits his kingdom.
Based on elements from Grimm's The Devil With the Three Golden Hairs and The Griffin.
