03.
Waking up, I found myself lying on the
back near the site of a recent massacre, and over my foot
conjures Svetomir, applying to the wound some of the herbs and
lotions at the same time muttering kakieto plots. Pain in my
leg has subsided, and Now only a slight healing itch reminded
that all this was not a dream.
Noticing that I woke up, Svetomir interrupted his lesson and
charming smile said:
- Do not worry, the wound is not dangerous ... I
it was almost healed, so that soon you'll be like new. Only
hobbled a bit - he shrugged apologetically and
added. -For a while.
- This is it me? I asked, nodding at
side of the corpses.
- Yeah.
- Are you him? ..
- Uh-huh.
- Tell me please, how it happened
that this kind of hurt me ... -I sat up on his elbows and a
wound in the thigh immediately expressed displeasure about it
dull, aching pain. -You're, like, had to take it on themselves.
It turned out that when I managed to knock the spear in
zmiulantsa, I somehow managed to injure his hand and when he
rushed to lift it, then pulled his wounded hand to her stomach.
Svetomir did not hear, I cry, but seeing that zmiulanets
holding his stomach down upon the earth thought that he was
mortally wounded in the stomach and switched their attention to
the second duel. Accordingly, he, like me,
missed the moment when his zmiulanets
Lance picked up and Rushed to me ... A
I am just at the moment, rising from
Land suspecting nothing. In general Svetomir managed to get his
partisan, but before that this bastard still managed to plunge
his spear into my thigh.
- Hey holy, give it a bottle from his bag, and then something
in my throat very dry.
Svetomir took out a bottle and threw it
me. Catching it on the fly, I unscrewed the cap and permanently
to it will come. Soothe my thirst, I finally asked a question
whose answer I am very interested in:
- Holy, where have you managed to meet
these freaks?
- Scary ... -Svetomir chuckled. -It
You surely noticed. And I met them,
By the way, under very interesting circumstances. I went in
that direction who have elder and soon really came to the river
bank. Left of I placed the dense forest, resting right in the
river and on the right towered the so-called "snake mountain".
Pretty grim, I tell you, the monument Mother Nature. Entirely
out of some black stone resembling marble ... Shimmers in the
sun, as some offspring of hell, as much afraid to approach. It
clearly has an entry, although it is currently closed and open
it as I have not idea.
- And where did you get that there is an entrance?
- I interrupted him. After all, what is told the old man does
not prove anything. A whole this evil here you can smuggle just
just like us, teleport.
- Yes, there really is ... Firstly there
the road straight into the rock rests on (why
ask), and secondly when I got there
came the first time, there was nobody nebylo ... And when I
came back half an hour later I discovered that my meeting from
the mountains, on this very road, stomp These two monster with
spears at the ready. Future developments can not imagine ...
- Where do you wandered into this half an hour? ..
- I wanted to see the same forest ...
- Well, as in the forest ... Foliage noise?
- I do not know ... I'm so up to him and did not get.
- Then I, especially for people with low IQ, I repeat
your question. Ton-investigator I said. - So where have you
wandered all time?
- Do not interrupt me and learn everything. -
Svetomir was calm as a truck before
pedestrian. - I'm telling you, go see the forest ... But as
soon as I walked to the edge, when suddenly out of the woods on
the road came a huge wolf, and slowly trotted into my side.
- I-clear ... -I gave. "You turned around and including the
fifth speed tore back, and then how to meet these evils
Two ... -I have to zmiulantsev. -Are you
They peruntsem and ticking, and they follow you ...
Are you from them, with all his ... You run and
yelling ... Then turn around and peruntsem their peruntsem ...
Then again, running away and yelling, running and yelling ...
Am I right?
- Of course not. Have you ever
tried to escape from a wolf? .. No, but from
dogs? .. Either. That's just it, and it is, and I
tried ... Watchdog Doberman ...
- Well, as well?
- Successfully. Total number of weeks the hospital and dozens
of scars on his body, escaped. Here So there. Hence the idea to
try to escape I do not even arose. On the contrary, my legs as
if rooted to the ground, but my head is spinning a question: To
kill or wait? And while my brain feverishly to solve this
difficult question, the wolf ran up to me quite
close. Shoot it was too late and so the answer was found by
itself, wait. The wolf came closer and sat down, and his eyes,
I realized that it is not just wolf. "Ugorazdilo run into
werewolves, Slaviša its elusiveness," I thought ...
- Stop filosovstvovat, tell
on the merits.
- Well, I say, went so villages
peredomnoy and said: "I feel you can
help me guy. To contact
Wolf, I have to spill over twelve knives stuck into an aspen
tree stump. But the trouble is if someone removes at least one
Knife: I can not go back into the human
appearance. And some magician did it, more
common man can not do it. Help me find my twelfth knife. "" A
as I know if I can find? "-I ask. And he answers me -" His
power you feel as soon as he gets back to your hand. If you
find it, return it to me I owe not stay. "" And turning, he
trotted toward the woods. "Wait." - I called him. - "Tell me,
What do you know about Snake Mountain? "Gore ..."-Stop, "he
said in surprise. -" We-ell, as it opened, in the woods are
strange things happening. All snakes from the vicinity of slip
to it. " - Having said that, he disappeared into the woods.
- Yeah, and then into the woods to go you do not
decided. "I said with a smile.
- Of course not dare ... You just do not
can you imagine what I experienced.
The motor I have, at that moment, knocking so
that was pushing forward his punches. And the adrenalin was
probably once a a few more rules. Even a little bit and
I myself would blow enough. Someone then b
your leg healed? ..
- Yes, if-used so it happened, as you say, then my foot would
be all in order.
- ... Is that the head would be lost while sleeping ... -
Continued Svetomir. -A with foot, you're right, everything
would be all right. Okay, get up ... The wound is delayed.
I rose from the ground and tried to walk a bit. Indeed, the
wound is not completely made itself felt as though her never
nebylo. Only a red scar, will now always remind me gloomy,
rainy evening of that my mistake (or stupidity, whatever).
Yielding to the hip dull, aching pain in the slightest awkward
movement. But, as one wise man: "scars adorn a man. "And that's
right, dammit!
In general, with my leg was all right, what could be said
about my appearance. Merely a cursory glance was enough to
understand that I need a bath, and wash my clothes. I was
just from head to toe is covered with a brownish crust of dried
blood and the smell of I came one more. Therefore, any man, I
think, when dealing with I would have thought that I was
probably a maniac, hungry for blood, and returning to of a mass
murder committed by me. Yeah, with that will not be ceremony
even their ...
"We need to urgently arrange somewhere postirushki. - I
thought. Vaught only which, damn it. Well, after think of
something, and while it would be necessary to look on the
reptiles, with whom I met Bare was not worth living. "
Going to the corpses, I finally was able to personally
ulitsezret what happened to zmiulantsem after my fall. Two hands
He had broken zhutchayshim way
the elbow and turned out at an unnatural angle. Broken bone
sticking out. Plus, his face, result of a sharp contact with my
shield, turned into one big a bloody mess, in which, at
present, already crawling flies and other various insects. Add
to this a deep wound on her neck ... Y-yes, the picture
received very preotvratnaya. On chest
second zmiulantsa broke bloody
spot can be seen throwing Svetomira was so strong that
partisan, drove the in the back, punched right through him. He
lay with eyes wide open, and from the open
jaws dropped out snake tongue. Stench
was terrific. Twisted, I turned to Svetomiru and nodding in the
direction of corpses, and asked:
- Tested?
- Aha ... None. -Svetomir stood up and approached me. Para
copies and holes in their pockets.
- It's a shame. -I confessed. -I would like to
get ... increase to their pensions.
- And you still too early to think about retirement.
- Svetomir smiled. -It is not an old man
yet.
- When our work is never too early ...
- I said, heading towards the trees. -We are literally under
the Disability each bush lurking. Neither came there - ran off,
is not there in the river went - Sail, not carded out their
power-dovydelyvalsya, and so on ... Understandable.
- Okay philosopher, where are you headed?
- There ... -I pointed toward the trees. -Cast wanted.
A little deeper into the undergrowth, I chose the subject of
his "washing" the mighty century-old oak, with a vast barrel
and unusually lush foliage, which was filled perelivistymi
trills kind of bird. And when it, in the words of one
well-known song, "... it has suffered, having fun and playing
... come stream through the rough bark ...", personally
appeared before my eyes one of the greatest mysteries of our
world-the birth of the elemental.
No, you do not think that the elemental
a rarity, no.
On the contrary, the elementals themselves are springing up
everywhere are often, but witnessed firsthand his appearance is
... Well, I I do not know, anyway, that finding a fern flower.
See this is not just luck, but superudacha.
And those lucky superudachlivym
I was, can you imagine!
In short, before my eyes appeared a
picture. Completely absorbed in his work, I suddenly noticed a
corner of his eye, that the right of me a couple of meters,
rather tall grass suddenly began to be laid on the ground in a
clockwise direction, forming an almost perfect circle with a
diameter about a meter. On the edges of the circle
grass blossomed out on the basis of
flower buds. In general, had the
impression that blossomed large
Flower ... from the grass. Suddenly this tsenr
"Flower" in a moment cut through a bluish glow, as if cutting
through it hole and the next thing out of it
began to beat fontanelle sparkling substance which is very
similar to water. This is the most substance spread over the
surface circle until it fills it completely.
Once this happens, there fontanelle
also ceased its operations. On blue surface, formed puddles,
suddenly began to travel along a fog, shimmering in all
possible colors, within which the flickering, weaving intricate
patterns, multi-colored zipper.
Oh, it was perfect! From this spectacle could not tear his
eyes away. It fascinated consciousness, hypnotized eyes, was
called to plunge, to merge with this magnificence, and never
leave him. Looking at this surface, you seem to comprehend all
the mysteries the universe, understand the complexity and
while the simplicity of this world ...
What a pleasant ease in the body ...
I did not keep ...
Euphoria!
I can fly ...
At this point, puddle began to climb upward, forming a
perfect cylinder silver, which immediately
began to rotate clockwise, shimmering with this, the most
bizarre flowers. Lightning flashed its depth
stronger, forming ever new twists. At its perfectly smooth
surface began to appear some symbols and images, absolutely
chaotic and useless, but not for me. I read them like an open
book ... I learned the not understandable - do not accept, for
It is obvious ... I could feel the energy
of life, every cell of your body shell (oh how she embarrassed
me) and this energy, time and again, filled me with
overpowering bliss.
Finally!
I am omniscient, I learned all that possibly comprehend. I am
omnipotent, I'm clicking your fingers is created and destroyed
worlds.
I. .. But what really trivia, it's time to call a spade a
spade ...
I am the LORD! Kneel down, you
nothingness ...
Ah-ah-ah-ah ...
Orgasm!
And suddenly it all ended as quickly as it began. The veil of
lightning suddenly fell to the ground and disintegrated into
thousands of colorful sparks and the air was left hanging just
an ordinary, not interesting elemental.
At that moment, every divinity
left my mortal body, leaving a huge void in his heart, which
immediately filled with such sadness mixed with anger, that
wanted to run up to this elemental and break his teeth on the
part of the fact that he dared to deprive me of the divinity of
...
Here are just a body, the body does not listen ...
Does not want to move ... No longer wishes to
be someone who a moment ago he was ready
(No regret) to bring it into
sacrifice for a drop of an imaginary deity.
"Do-paralyzed ... I tried to lick his lips. It did not work.
- Petty thoughts, take the above ... Why fool ourselves, this
is the end ... End throughout everything he wanted, what he
dreamed of. "
"But I do not want to die Lord, no ...
- Trying to blink. Again failed. -I
're not to blame ... I do not want to comprehend this mystery
... I do not need any What divinity ... Lord, save me and I
will go to church on Sundays and praise your name as long as I
will be allowed to be on this sinful world. "
Suddenly, to my ears heard the voice of
Svetomira, calling me from the misty distance. - Jaroslav ...
Where are you, your mother? Go here, I found something.
"Yeah, what about now resorted ... I'd rather you to us ...
By the way, thank God."
Voice really became progressively
approach, constantly calling out to me and
shouting in my address different nepotrebschinu.
"I wonder how he would react to me, a statue depicting"
written in terror of God ", with the total vypuchenymmi
mad eyes, open mouth, from a corner which the land drains thin
trickle of saliva and the person which reflected all the worst
human emotions. And what if he can not give me back my mobility
... Evacuation! But he dragged me to the portal, or kill, so I
ended up there myself ... "Oh, bother that for thought in his
head climb. Perhaps this damn elemental still poured sand in my
ball-roller mechanism, fundamentally it zaportachiv. "
Panic! She is coming over me completely ... Fills without
reserve, all corners of my mind psyched.
"Run - do not get ... Hide
- But where? "
And the voice is getting closer.
"We need to urgently do something. But what
damn, what? .. Jaroslav quietly, not
drift ... What was discussed at seminars in psychotherapy, have
to think about well, what happened to you lately. Lord, I do
not remember happened to me when something good. "
At this point, because of the trees seemed to
Svetomir.
- Oh, look, elemental bezhozny lying around, do not order ...
-Svetomir touched elemental hand and he began to shrink in size
until it became the size of a golf ball, and was then carefully
preprovazhen in a travel bag.
Continuing to dig into his bag, putting the elemental,
Svetomir whether peripheral vision, or their sixth sense
noticed my presence and turned to I do not even raising his
eyes:
- Yarik, where are you shlyaeshsya? You seem
would like to arrange a halt to lead
themselves in order. So I found a stream,
where possible and wash and odezhku prostirnut. What do you
say, eh? -Svetomir raised Finally her eyes to me and I'll bet
that at this moment I clearly saw
as he began expanding his pupils. -
What? - He looked at himself in the back, but
saw nothing, and again turned to
me. - What happened! Hey, can you hear me? -Having said this,
he came up to me close and held in front of my face with his
hand back and forth.
"I heard ... And how hear ... But
my body at the moment, assaulted by two
the worst enemy of mankind: the complete apathy and boundless
pofigizm ... Previously hunted exclusively of representatives
of Homo Sapiens separately, but for the sake of this case have
combined their efforts and, after full occupation of my body,
is firmly entrenched in all of its key points. Now my body has
flatly refused to obey the orders of the brain, where, nor how
it their behavior is not motivated. "
- Yarik, wake up! - Svetomir began
shake me by the shoulders. Suddenly he stopped, thunderstruck,
and then slowly turned and looked at it
a place where until recently hung elemental, mumbled voice
trembling with excitement. -Did you see it ...
And at that moment I decided that if that's
Now I can not give him at least something wrong sign, the price
of a penny to me. Do not know that the conspiracy in me:
whether military training (as used to say, my sergeant in
combat tactics: "Bad is the soldier who, even being dead can
not benefit his country."), or simple human feelings (which is
neither what did not want to give this damn
"Divine" essence, which actually put me into the current
state), but most likely these two of my "best" quality of the
currently agreed show that if you really agonize, be sure to
get something. I had to gather all his will into a fist. The
voltage on the forehead of my bulging veins and the blood
pounding in my temples drumming. For the first time in my life
myself controlled release of adrenaline into the blood.
I even thought I feel like a
this voltage bursts of flame burn
My nerve cells ... But I had
donate it to the fire is not extinguished, because I knew that
I had not forces will be to light it again. Brain worked
with feverish speed, sending the eyes
over and over again the same order ... Finally, when I had
almost lost hope my eyelashes are stirred, and completely
chutchut, but it was enough ... I realized that win in this
confrontation and the last bit of strength redoubled efforts.
Very slowly, as if forced his way
through sticky treacle, eyelids were lowered until a fraction
of a second light in the eyes not dimmed, signaling that this
they are closed and a moment later re-
returned to its former state. This fight lasted a moment, but
it seemed to me that was at least an hour.

Still, I blinked! I managed
then all is not lost! Most importantly,
that Svetomir noticed and regarded as
affirmative answer to your question.
- So after all seen ... It's unbelievable ... - Svetomir
shook his head and reproachfully said. - How to, say,
as you ugorazdilo ... -Began to walk back and forth, "he said.
-Damn! You could not have anywhere else to stay
cast, eh? Do you realize what a miracle he remained alive.
Found than admire. Where are you interesting bore when the
department read lectures on the nature of elementals.
I do not know of any alleys memory
cropped up this memory, but I remembered
- These lectures were given to us in the first year
"Theoretical Foundations of magical arts, and as I'm being a
warrior, respectively, was not a magician, then the lecture I
skipped these, so to speak, with a net the heart. "
- Now I have you on their hump
to haul water, until you finally
dry. Fucking asshole! -Cursed Svetomir, vzvalivaya my shoulders.
"I hate when he swears his
professional terms. - I thought. "And what is interesting to
me, he had only just had called."
This was my last idea, because
as soon Svetomir hoisted me on his shoulder,
as I have throughout the body, a wave of searing pain exploded
in my head a fountain of sparks and I had a second day is
completely disabled.
Consciousness returns, but very slowly, like a mosaic,
folding of the individual pieces, piece by piece. I lay in the
water with his eyes closed and felt a huge sponge, constantly
absorbing a reviver. Enjoying
murmur of the brook and the rustle of leaves on
wind, feeling like a breath on my skin water, enclosing me in
his cool hugs, holding hands on the floor and feeling like sand
seeping through your fingers carried away a weak current.
Conducting hands?! Seeping through
fingers?!
I opened my eyes. Without any stress, as it should be. Still
not believing own happiness, I tried to move my hand, managed
to kick-without any problems ... All numbness miraculously
asleep, and only a terrible weakness still continued to lord it
in my body, but also it is gradually handed over their
positions.
By adopting a sitting position, I looked around. The first
thing that caught the eye was that I was completely naked, and
my Launder clothes hung on a tree branch. Next to a tree near
the fire burned which sat Svetomir and engaged
that was roasting on the fire carcass of some
animals the size of a squirrel.
Seeing that I came to, he
detached from its lessons and with a smile
spake:
- Ochuhalsya, "divine" you're ours. Come stamp your here,
closer to the fire, and then you in the creek for more than an
hour "cool" More inflammation catch it, then vozis
with you.
I note that after my so-called "revival", when I regained my
senses, I whole body felt that the water is nice but the cold I
still specific. No sooner had I close to the fire, as in my
nostrils struck the scent of roasted meat and in the mouth
I began to actively salivate.
Swallowing as the judges, I squatted down and just
heard tapping his teeth with cold cold hands stretched out
toward the fire, keeping in This hungry eyes from the roast.
Svetomir by tracing over my eyes,
nodded in the direction of meat and said:
- Are you hungry?
- Yeah. - Honestly I confessed. How-
wolf.
- Eat Well, until hot. "He
handed me the carcass. -Eat it and tell me
how you managed to once again plunge into crap.
The story turned short, but very
colorful, because memories in the memory
were still very fresh. Svetomir not listened to
interrupting, pretending that all fascinated absorption of
food, only occasionally allowing himself mocking grin.
-... That's how I run into this, so
called, "divine". -Graduated
I. Now, over a lifetime does not wash.
I said no, but Svetomir, looking at
I suddenly, for no apparent reason, began to
wildly neuderzhno laugh.
- What? .. Well, something funny? -I stared at him.
- Sorry ... - Svetomir wiped his sleeve
tears. - Just a thought
what position you was when I found you just statue fashioned
slight shock "some. Incidentally, I have this your posture on
fotokristall filmed. Then print, enlarge and hang on a wall in
his future study.
- What's that? -I have my eyes on the forehead, climbed. - I
mean a little "horses or moved, and you are still managed and
fotokristall fix.
- Yeah. -Svetomir nodded. -This will be
my little revenge for all the ridicule,
I have suffered from you for
years of our work together.
- Come on, you're bluffing. When you're me
found, I was conscious and something I do not remember to have
seen in your hands fotokristall. - I looked into his eyes. -
Admit it, you just decided to play me.
- Not at all. -Svetomir was simplicity itself .- The fact is
that while you, as you say, was conscious, in my hands really
nebylo fotokristalla, y I was at that moment the thought of
such a head nebylo. This idea came from me Only after I pinned
you to the themselves to this stream. Heavy physical
work, you know, likes to waft various
thoughts ... Well there, interesting ideas suggest. And the
fact that drag you here was occupation is not an easy one,
you'd better believe me on the floor. "He stood up, walked
to the creek and scooping up water with his hands began to
drink. Drunk and wiped his sleeve mouth Svetomir continued.
-Well, When I pinned you to imagine the stream, I visited an
interesting idea that when we come back and I'll tell
about how I had to save your skin, you'll be all by itself to
deny the I of course no one would believe, because in
this story is really hard to believe. So, I decided to make a
a couple of shots at the memory. Remarkable
tell you to take pictures.
- Erase! - In horror I cried. AND
Ask what you want.
Svetomir smiled a smile and the devil
unctuous voice said:
- I have two news for you: good
and bad. First, bad-late rush, you're late already. Information
has already gone to the department.
- How?
- Yes that's right. I like a man visionary, foresaw that you
would be me ask for something like that. And as I
everything else, yet the man is soft,
why take the trouble, just in case
You will be able to convince me now, about
fact that I did not have to feel sorry about this
later. Therefore, the contents of fotokristalla sent to the
department. That's it.
- Oh, no. -I suddenly ached left
shoulder and I started massaging it. -I
do not survive ... Holy, I have now
stroke would you think about it.
- Do not be. - Seeing my efforts
Sveomir said. - Stroke hurts
head, not the shoulder.
- And at what if your shoulder aches?
- When a heart attack. By the way, get dressed,
Clothing must have dried up.
- Thank you, comforted. -Feeling clothes,
"I said. - By the way, you said that
there is good news, and what
it?
- The good news is, information
went into my personal file, which, while I
alive, can not open one, except me.
- While you're alive. -How to spell "I repeated. - That is,
as long as you're alive, "and if ...
- If you die, or rather if the relationship with my
personality matrix for any reason will be lost, "interrupted my
Svetomir. - All information from this file go to a central
"steam bath" and then will be printed and given to analysts.
- Holy tell you saved me specifically
to then slowly and painfully kill? Groaning, I said, putting on
myself pretty rough after washing clothes. -Yeah, God rewarded
the sadist-mate.
- Okay, do not dramatize, ludshe meet promptly ... We are
because of you so already order delayed. Incidentally, I have to
you a present ... - With these words he
handed it to me, blackened with soot, a torch. - I've found
here, do not throw the same, and you can come in handy.
Suddenly you will be in the very dark hole, where you and place
will be at least than shine.
- Much obliged. Your care about my well-being, there is no
limit. I quipped, prilazhivaya torch next to his arms and hung
all that stuff behind your back. -Let 's awake, we need to get
to the tavern until not dark.
Svetomir rose to his feet, shook himself
and thrown over the shoulder travel bag,
said the enthusiastic voice. -I
ready.
- Well, then moved.
to be continued (maybe).
