The winter chill blew from the mountains. Goat grass rustled under the blows of the wind. Countless sharp stems rubbed against each other, creating a rustle like the rustle of dry leaves. Ahead ran a turbulent stream, breaking off at a cliff in a waterfall that fed South Lake at the bottom of the middle valley.The gloom of the hollow had vanished, along with the forest, now rustling several miles away underfoot. Anabel walked among the stones along the edge of the abyss and looked at the valley, in the center of which lay carpets of immature wheat. From here one could see farms, and a lake with vineyards, and Orvald's estate, and even the triangular roof of the chapel above the crowns of trees. Here and there carts of merchants moved along the roads. Peasants worked in the gardens near the edge. A little further on, lumberjacks were cutting down trees. Further on stretched the forest, drawn by a milky haze, and behind it again the mountains, surrounding the valley in a ring.Many mer

In fact, no one knew how a dead body turns into a bloodthirsty frame. Even in new cemeteries, bones sometimes crawled out of the ground. On ancient burials, like this, there were a lot of them.– Life and death are part of our world, but there is something in between. We call it undead.Miranda lifted her head at that moment and looked at him carefully.- The Nismant believe that after death a person gets the right to choose whether to stay there forever, be reborn or return back. Return, as a rule, scum, tied to something material. Such a life becomes their curse. Sometimes people turn into undead during their lifetime, but this is already the merit of necromancers. Just like that, a person cannot exchange life for death and at the same time keep a divine spark in the body.- Everything! Stop clucking,” Albrecht thundered, separating himself from the group. “Let’s split into pairs and search the cemetery. I just don't think we'll find anything here. On such graves they put one junk:

“ Do you even know how much a cleaver like that costs?” Albrecht said in a low voice, studying the Vergal blade from a respectful distance. “I heard Lord Felos of Crindale paid two hundred sacks of silver for the Moonchild. With such money you can buy a thousand blades along with mercenaries.“ They will take it away from you as soon as they see it,” Shanti chuckled bitterly.- And here it is not. I will become a warrior like Grog! With such a strong blade, I will be unmatched in any fight.- Join at least one first. I can't believe you dragged us here because of a toy that the first drunk you came across would take from you.Albrecht, judging by his hoarse laugh, was of the same opinion. Bringing the torch to the blade, he once again carefully examined it and said:- It's a waste of time, boy. They say that even Felos lost his sword. In the mines near Crindale, his detachment was shot down by bandits. The blade did not help him much in that fight, rather it prevented him from ... fle

Rumbold and Falaise left the barracks at sunset. Dressed in plate armor, girded with short swords, they headed for the lower limit. The place where they were to spend the night was considered the most dangerous in the city. Instead of quilting and colored surcoats, the militiamen who were on duty at the pier were given special leather armor, which consisted of many metal plates fitted to each other, and shortened blades with a needle tip. In addition, everyone was supposed to wear a rounded helmet with a low nape that protected the head from behind. Such equipment saved from slippery knife blows and helped to survive in duels among the slums.Descending the stone stairs to the main street, the militia marched towards the sea. Rumbold walked slowly, peering from time to time into the aisles between the houses. Ever since he told Fergus everything he thought, his heart had become quite restless. He shouldn't have been excited, but the memory of his parent's crime always made him furious

In the dim glow of the candles, five men stood in front of the throne. Two old men and three young men. Armand sat in an armchair and drummed his fingers on the hilt of his rapier. On his orders, a burly young man in a stretched doublet got out of line and began to count loudly. This went on for quite some time.- ... Forty-five, forty-six, forty-seven, forty-seven, forty-seven, term ... - in the end, the thief began to repeat thoughtfully.“ Enough,” Cassia said, almost in a whisper.She sat on the throne, dressed in a black dress with a collar of crow feathers and, leaning back, looked away. On the armrest was a silver goblet of wine, the rim of which she stroked from time to time with her forefinger.Armand clapped his hands, and the young thief obediently returned to his seat.- Further.There was silence. The last candidate in the line did not move. Armand frowned, noticing that the young man was watching her intently and clapped his hands again.- Bastian! the golden-haired thie

They entered the space of the ancient seal at the same time. Thirteen people stood at the edges of the massive golden circle. Tant, Marletta, and Kirk stopped in the center. Not far away, Altvidus opened a sack and poured dozens of green-veined stones onto the floor. One of them was split by a strong young man with an axe. Both halves at the same time shone faintly with an acid green light.“ This is a grill,” Altvidus explained, tying both pieces with a rope. “The Equitanian miners wear them to explore the caves. The closer the fragments are to each other, the more powerful they glow.The young bandit was resourceful and quick, but on the campaign he was treated like a lunatic. Living in the Southern Hills, Tant noticed that fools always behave this way with those who are smarter than them. The remaining members of the detachment began to dismantle the stones, splitting them along the way. Tant warned that where they got stuffy, and the torches would burn worse.“ I never thought tha

We heard screams! Something happened downstairs, - the young bandit gave a voice, despite the excitement, remaining all the same dull.Kirk was the first to take off. Tanta ran after him. The outlandish temple turned out to be deeper than he expected. Judging by the two air tunnels, from which hot air was drawn, the tunnels could well have been laid below the seabed.“ There are two stairs,” Altvidus explained as soon as they were down. Bertrand and the guys went to another room. Borik and the others went down below. I fell behind, and then there was a blow and screams.Everyone hurried to the entrance to the tunnel, from where the bandits led by Bertrand began to emerge. The stocky thug held an ax in his hands, continuing to pitch the grape leaf with grass. From below came muffled calls for help.- Did you hear that too? Bertrand asked, pointing to the passage behind which the steps began. “Like something fell off.“ That’s not good,” Kord worried, looking at him. “Master Tant, we sh

If Grog had been told that he would spend the four days of his life chained to a post, on raw meat and water, he would have laughed and then broken the joker's nose. Unfortunately, it wasn't a joke, and he couldn't break his noses anymore because he didn't have fists. Thinking about this, Grog sat on a chain near the ill-fated pillar and gnawed on a bone. Of late, florid reasoning had become more and more difficult for him. It was hard to even think. Memory was akin to an earthenware jug with a split bottom, the contents of which left only drops of moisture on the walls. He'd spent a little over a week in the grimlak's shoes, but that was enough to simplify him to the extreme. Sometimes it even seemed to him that he was born an animal, but he dreamed of becoming a man so much that he began to invent a past for himself.A camp cook in a blood-stained apron walked past, waddling, like a duck. Pale as death, with a wrinkled face, a shaggy brute was dragging a stone cauldron polished with

The courteous and sweet-voiced Osbald liked his wife. This prophet she outfitted in Riverfall differently from Novos. Marletta would have known where the Lady's anointed was actually going." Master Tant! " - I heard a scream from below. "Master Tant, over here!"Kord shouted. His assistant was still in the hall. Tant ran to the loophole and looked down. The man thrashed about below, waving his arms. A magical firefly hovered over his head. Altvidus and Kuno stood nearby.We heard screams!
