When Cres woke up, a suffocating heat spread through his body. His head was splitting as if battle horns were being blown into the ears on both sides, and only the Senches and his wives knew when it would end, if it would end at all. Opening his eyelids with difficulty, Kres lay in one position for a long time, getting used to the hot twilight and to new sensations - there was not an inch of cold earth under him, and the hiss of the forest was not audible. Somewhere nearby, a door creaked, grunts and joyful fuss were heard. The smell was fierce.The white morning dawned slowly. A dim light gradually penetrated under the low ceiling of this foul-smelling lair. Heavy skins on the log walls, fragrant bundles of herbs and decorations of feathers and down. Cres felt fresh straw under him, raised himself a little, and before another red-hot needle twisted him, he still managed to make out a cradle and a smoldering hearth, and people sleeping side by side right on the floor.“Woke up… woke u

“Asa, don’t start an old conversation…”- The conversation will continue until there are no unavenged men and women left in our village! Asa blurted out. - And all the shavs will not sit on a leash, as befits shavs.“In our house, the D'ah covenants are sacredly observed, Asa. You don't have to worry.“I can’t see something…” the Harger muttered and glared at the door, but did not try to enter. Vassa looked down at his belt, at the hilt of the dagger that he always had with him. But Asa's hand made no attempt to touch him. The father's hand also did not touch his own. Vassa sighed.“K'hul soon,” Musa said, conciliatory. - We will discuss all the issues there. On a cold head“If yours,” Asa grimaced. “The k'hul will make it this far.“Then the judgment of the d'ahs will be done,” Musa nodded. “But the southerner is strong. He killed a barefoot alone and lost a lot of blood. Neither you nor I can repeat this.- Yes. But that rat was the work of your harg. And not just Yuvasa, whom you p

He paused, blowing smoke into the ceiling.- Where is she? Cres asked urgently. - Where is my woman?“With Khalsa,” the owner answered simply. She is always with him.- Do you know him? Take me to him.- Later.- Why?- Because it's necessary. What's your name, ferret?“The Pied Piper,” Cres said without much desire the first thing that came to mind.Is that what people call you for your craft?- They call me by different names. I do not mind.- My name is Musa. And you have nothing to go to Khalsa until you can at least move your legs like rock'hee, and not like a lousy shava. I'll take you myself. Khalsa wants to get to know you for a long time. Many people want.- Good. But why does this Khalsa need it, you know?Musa shrugged.- It's clear why. Khalsa, he is d'ahger .Chris didn't say much.“You mean… chief?”– D'ahger is d'ahger. Chosen by the d'ahami. And they pointed him to your woman as a d'hanka. You're in luck, ferret. Oh, lucky.“I was so lucky,” he muttered. Do you see her

He did not believe what he saw in front of him when the snow-white contours of the fortress wall appeared between the trees. At first, Sareth thought that he was mistaken - hunger and nightmares still finished him off, and he was about to fall straight into the well of madness. Riding half-starving through an enchanted forest, drinking tasteless water and listening to a cat raging in a bag - and not such a dream.But the closer Blaska came to the strange mirage, the brighter the structure loomed - smooth and dazzling white, like ivory. The smooth surface stretched high towards the graying skies, as if serving as a support for them. Rows of strict, narrow loopholes ran in straight lines, dark holes looked unfriendly and menacing: just another moment and a whirlwind of arrows and stones would break out from there.The forest seemed afraid to come any closer to the foot of the wall, where not a sprout grew, as if every blade of grass had been plucked out by an overzealous gardener. The w

He took out the last cracker from his bag, dried up, almost stone, put half in front of the cat, half he threw into his mouth. Breaking his teeth on him, he picked up the bag and poured a few crumbs into his palm, licked it off with his tongue. With an empty and miserable bag he covered the cat, who did not even think of touching the cracker. I completely forgot about the fire and simply, grimacing from the dull pain in each vertebra, leaned back on my back in order to somehow relax. Bruises and bruises sang a plaintive ballad about his ridiculous fall, which will have to listen to for a very long time. Although Sareth understood that he himself was to blame for his sores, he involuntarily connected the fall with the obstinate structure, which was in no hurry to part with the guest so easily.There was still a wall before my eyes and in my thoughts. Only she.Neither the noise of the breeze, nor the singing of birds, and even less human voices, could be heard from the silent battlemen

His head was shaking, he was rocking like a boat on the waves. But he stubbornly took his couple of steps and crawled back to gain strength in order to try again after a while. And every day the legs obeyed better and better. Even the grandfather grunted approvingly at his efforts.When Cres was strong enough to feel more or less confident on his own two feet, he moved towards the exit from this stuffy hole, opened the door and almost collapsed from a sharp gust of wind. In front of the house was a small wooden platform with a rope fence up to the waist. And a sea of ​​yellowing leaves.Already by some sixth sense, he realized that his eyes did not deceive him. Having driven the top of the head into the lintel, - now there will also be a bump! – he hesitantly approached the fence and looked down. A new gust of wind and an explosive rustle of leaves forced him to retreat.It turned out that the hut was conveniently located high in the branches of a giant ref, resembling a bee hive. It

Alyssa was just a master at weaving charms and whispering various ailments, and the tongue was sharp, an infection. I, like many in the village, I remember, ruffled by the scruff of the neck. He will beckon with his eyes, and remove him with his tongue. D'ahgers from all around her walked around her like rams around a wedge. And, you know, she laughs and makes fun of everyone - no one could take her, she twisted her legs and arms for everyone. She refused everyone, even Khalsa slapped her at first without salty slurping, as if she doused him with water. She ridiculed the messengers when they sent them to their house every now and then. Nothing took her. Wind, and only.The old man fell silent for a moment, blowing smoke - he looked and looked somewhere after his memories.- Apparently, Khalsa somehow won her hand ...“Yes, I didn’t miss it, old wolf,” grandfather nodded. Apparently it was destined for him. And I remember what a stately fellow Khalsa was in his youth. He was then alrea

- So what?..- And then! Two weeks had not passed, when such a boil jumped up on his hare! To his parents—why did the d'ahs send them such a son? - I had to cajole Leshy so that he would cut this rubbish off his face. I myself saw how he slashed. There was some blood, oh ru ! she laughed out loud, nearly dropping her underwear into the water.- Whom to appease? Cres did not understand. Did you hear something...“Goblin,” Kisha repeated. - Also a fool local. She lives over there, in the Skin House. She waved the rag to the side. Kres at first saw nothing but golden, swaying crowns, but then, looking closer, he noticed a squat, rickety hut among the branches. What is interesting - standing right on the ground, and not as it is customary for rock'hi - on a tree.And how did he not notice her before?- And why is he ... Goblin? Kres asked, peering through the broken windows. I don’t understand from what, but it blew a chill.- How why? Keisha was surprised. “You need to explain everything

- So what? – psoglava shrugged. - Gone. They wanted to devour it, of course, but their indefatigable hunger took its toll. They are very hungry for grub, but they do not like to hunt for a long time. They see that food is not given to them, they will wait, wait, their stomach will growl and begin to digest itself. They will immediately groan and cry, and they will leave to look for those who do not look under their feet. Grandmother sat a little longer, waited for fidelity. Then she went down and home. Then the whole district spoke about her: where has such a thing been seen - a girl, but she escaped from the Khamers. My grandmother also taught me to climb trees, by the way. I was four years old, and I already jump faster than all the guys on refs. And my grandmother runs after me and yells obscenities for warning, and in her eyes there is only laughter and pride: “My granddaughter. It won't disappear!"“So you remember, bloodsucker,” Kisha finally got up, creaking her vertebrae. “If
