something unreal, and usually, something that was good thousands years
ago, but now it does not exist, does not influence the reality. Sorry,
but I am strongly against "legend".
Though I am not sure if I would use word "champion", it is too sport
related. I tried to search for the "choise of the champions" in
English and in Russian, all top matches are sport related. Maybe
"winner" is better?
Also may I suggest next variant?
"Firebird - the winning relationship".
