As I was about to answer, I suddenly heard an angry growl behind me:- Stay where you are! Show your faces!- We'll run! I yelled as I jumped up.I was not even going to find out who tried to detain us.***We got to the lodging house quite late. The moon barely struggled with the clouds, trying to give the earth the last grains of light."I'm tired," Sibyl groaned as she made her way to the bed. - This is the most idiotic night in the last month...Without answering, I collapsed next to him. The body finally said goodbye to the very concept of "energy". I just wanted to lie down and do nothing.- Tell me, what kind of adequate person would ask to kick his ass in a tavern full of drunken bastards?- A man who tomorrow fight to the death with a brutally pumped bastard.My attempt at diplomatic protection failed."Don't you and Jerome think you've gone too fast?" - The Sibyl no longer hid her irritation. - Of course, I understand that your ambitions have played in the ass. But you're ma

For a while there was silence. Only Pig was still shaking his hands.Mavor was clearly about to turn away, but suddenly someone pushed his way out of the crowd. Wrapped in a cloak, with a huge hood on his head. The face is not visible. Only soiled boots stick out from under the floor.- Who are you? - asked the viceroy, and I suddenly felt a note of interest in him."I'll tell you if I get protection until I leave this village."The voice that came out made everything inside me go cold. I was ready to take off, but overcame myself. Thoughts ran through my head in a panic, one another darker.- If the question is really serious, - Mavor nodded without any problems. - You will be protected. I promise that no one will lay a finger on you until you leave the city.The hood was dropped. I knew who would be there, but still winced in pain. In vain, in vain...My name is Alliel. I am a purebred elf. My age is two hundred years in human reckoning.The crowd roared. Even the people who support

The only question is how to avoid personal acquaintance with the inhabitants of the dungeon?- Listen, girlfriend, we are in the same boat, and neither I nor you have oars, - I leaned towards the peaceful face of my sister in misfortune. - So if you have aces up your sleeve - time to rob this place.***Neri had no aces. Although the girl is smart, it’s hard to hide something in her sleeves when you don’t even wear shoes.However, I myself was not a fool. I can't be called a virtuoso, nor can I be praised for my brilliant strategies. But I was ready to try as an artist.First of all, I robbed the rep, taking all the light caterpillars from it. To do this, it was necessary, however, to take a chance and touch them. Feeling no burning, no convulsions, no glitches of consciousness, he recognized the creatures as safe. With doubt, but admitted.After collecting all the fireflies in a bag, I was first convinced that this was a sound idea. After sitting in anticipation for a while, I counte

- Cattle, damn it! - with a cry, I pulled the creature's head, finally tearing it away from the body.Swinging, he threw it into the crowd.- Yes, I'll fuck you all!A bloody veil stood before my eyes, and the blade cut, stabbed, opened, causing heart-rending squeals.- How did you fuck, smelly animals!Having intercepted a thin wooden stake with which they tried to stab me, he pulled it out of the goblin's hands. A kick - and the frail creature falls to the ground.Before I had time to properly deal with one group, another immediately jumped up. They piled on me, trying to stab me with wooden stakes, stab me with sharp stones, and beat me with bones. And this enraged them even more, forcing them to continue the fierce battle ...***The end of the corridor was visible ahead. Neri and I were pretty exhausted, and the creatures with faces instead of predatory muzzles seemed to have not played enough. Having fairly exhausted their population, I still noticed new freaks, striving to bite

Most likely, if the sun pleases with heat, it will be possible to build a fire. But by nightfall, I will definitely pay it off. I don't need a light that seems welcoming. I want the unnatural, blue glow of the caterpillars. It looks dangerous, almost mystical. The best way to hint sensibly is to stay away. The strange twinkling and eerie laughter of the hyena are companions for the camp in the night forest.Nary and I moved in a direction that could be considered known for only one reason: it went in the opposite direction from the dungeon. No, it's not that I find the dungeon very unfriendly. To be honest, at least everything is clear there. In the corridors - dangerous, in the rooms - a little less. But I like the forest more.Making our way among the trees and bushes, we did not even think about whether there was any progress in this. I didn’t think about anything at all, but Neri ... Apparently, she was considering options for sleeping. The girl sometimes yawned, opening wide her
