Original artwork description:

Used "Scarlet Sails" story by Alexander Grinn as an inspiration: Scarlet Sails is a beautiful romantic fairy tale written by Alexander Green that follows the story of a young girl named Assol. Assol was told by an old man that a prince would come and take her away in a ship with scarlet sails. Despite her doubts, as the years passed by, Assol still held onto her dream.

One day, the captain of a ship with the English name Arthur Gray appeared and fell in love with Assol. When he learned of the prophecy, he was determined to fulfill it and decorated his ship with scarlet sails so that it would come true. The two of them sailed away together and fell deeper in love with each other.

Scarlet Sails is a beautiful story of love conquering all odds, and is a testament to the power of believing in one's dreams. Assol's story is one that many of us can relate to—it's a reminder that no matter how difficult things may seem, if you keep believing, you can make it happen.

Translated by Russian translator: Scarlet Sails:
His novella Scarlet Sails, first published in 1923, is very popular in Russia. It's lyrical and romantic and almost magical. I translated it and posted it on Wattpad, so anyone can read it.
