City of inheritance Fishing on a balancer
Toen lay on the roof and looked at the clouds, all as one for some reason resembling dogs. Sometimes huge and vicious, sometimes affectionate and playful, sometimes hysterical mongrels. He suspected that he saw these dogs in the clouds because of the head of the council. A bad woman, really. Who knew that she would not agree to walk around the city and knock on a couple of houses. He would have brought her almost immediately to where the first suspect lives. But it didn't work out. And now it's too late. Even if this suspect left the city, now he has already returned. Toen personally saw him leaving his guardian's house. The girl was still hugging. Probably, if you ask them, both will wrinkle, blush and hint in every possible way that they were lying in bed for half a day. Together. They did not invite any witnesses there. And try, prove they're lying. Not under a rock to ask them about their personal lives.And Darine is a bad woman. Always trying to do everything right and the right
City of inheritance And again the ritual
- What did you do there? asked Darine Atana when Toen told her about the wounded Vin's fall from the roof.— I wanted to tease a boy.- Teased?- Yes.Touen broke into a self-satisfied smile and immediately became serious.- Something else? asked the head of the council.- Yes. Toen took his pipe out of his pocket and turned it over in his hands. - What are you going to do now?"Nothing," Atana replied lightly. Nothing more than what I'm already doing. I'll just wait and see what they do next. And most importantly, who will do it. And add fuel to the fire to make them hotter.“Are you going to fish in a sizzling pan?”Toen smiled and shook his head.“I will,” Darine confirmed. “It’s not for everyone to tease the boys. By the way, why did you tease him?“I tried to catch your guardian. For bait. If I had succeeded, the city would have reacted. But I was prevented by a body that had fallen off the roof.Did you find the custodian? Atana was surprised. - Already?I'm not sure, so I'm che
City of inheritance conversations again
Valreth went so far into his inner world, in which he killed those who stole the energy and prevented him from becoming a guardian in the most brutal way, that he completely paid no attention to the approaching head of the council. He nodded automatically when she expressed her regrets and assured her that he would have made an excellent custodian. And when she asked who was the person who noticed this first, he answered without hesitation:- Esir Darkness.- How? Atana was genuinely surprised, not expecting that the fool from the house of the White Snake also got into intrigues with the keepers.Valret shrugged. Blinked, coming to his senses and confessed.I was also surprised when he came to me with that book.- A book?- There was a family tree on the spread. Keeper tree. It turns out that the wife of one of my distant ancestors was from their family. So I had to make it.Having spoken, Valreth took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and went to the exit.Atana just shook her head. A
City of inheritance old desire
- Here you are!Toen, who climbed into the office window, spitting on all the shields, threw the body wrapped in a carpet on the floor and yawned with relish. Atana, contrary to her desire and the invigorating potion she had drunk, also yawned. Then she got up, left the table and carefully approached the bundle, suspecting that the silly former subordinate had brought the corpse.- What is this? the woman asked, lightly kicking the carpet and not waiting for any reaction.“Guardian, you asked,” said Toen and yawned again.- Dead? Atana was frightened, for some reason imagining how this crazy person digs up the body of Cait in the cemetery and drags it to her.Why is he dead? Toen was offended. - Very much alive. Just unconscious. The intractable guy got caught, I spent three amulets closing the gift on him while he lost consciousness. I already thought that I would have to beat with a club on the head. But now I'm sure it's the one who keeps it. He figured at the end of our epic battl

Ladai blinked sleepily. Dorana yawned and from time to time began to look at the wall with empty eyes. Then she caught herself and tried to seem interested. Liiran struggled to concentrate, but it was not working well. Sleepy thoughts strove to fly away into distant distances and intertwine with creeping sleep.But Khiyat was disgustingly cheerful and talkative. To explain what exactly he needs, he began from afar, from where children come from and how they are obtained. Sometimes he lost his thoughts and for some reason began to talk about the fact that it is still unrealistic to find these old crimes in the bottomless memory of the city. But what is happening now, the city knows very well. And by the evening it will be possible to trace the entire chain of those who are somehow involved in the attempt to kill that stupid fireman. The listeners did not even try to understand what kind of fireman they were talking about.“You found the descendants of the keepers,” Ladai finally unders
City of inheritance Travel far
Dean was pale, displeased and frightened everyone with a brutal expression on his face. At times, when the ship fell down from the top of a particularly high wave, the fireman would turn green, his face would become miserable, and he would rush headlong to the side. Where he parted with the next portion of the contents of the stomach.Dean was persuaded for a long time and tediously to go to the cabin and lie down. They called him an idiot for even longer, because only an idiot, who is already swayed, on the eve of sailing, will go and get drunk, if not to green mice, then to white mice for sure. This is how he set himself up for the trip.In the end, after all the persuasion and scolding, Dean continued to hang proudly on the deck and tried his best to spoil everyone's mood. As a result, he achieved the fact that at some point they stopped paying attention to him and went about their business.Marika at the side admired the sea and turned her nose to the sun, which she smeared with c

“You can exclude your Silence,” Toen said and yawned widely. — I know where her grandfather took a wife for his son.- Where?- In the same school for orphans, where I studied after the death of my parents. I realized what kind of grandfather, I met a couple of times in the city. And he asked me very much not to tell anyone that he came to that school to choose a gifted girl. He wanted to renew his blood, to add magical talents to his family.— Threatened? Atana asked.- Not without it. And your mother, Tisha, was the great-granddaughter of a teacher at that school. When the grandmother died of old age, the girl stayed at school. Until this man appeared, she sat without getting out, even with other children she didn’t really communicate. She thought she deserved more. However, she got more than that.“Yes, I did,” Atana confirmed. - And she lived happily ever after, until she decided to go boating in a storm. Together with the youngest son of her husband.Toen took a sip from his cup,
City of inheritance Flights and exams
Flights and examsDarine Atana thought for a long time, but did not manage to come up with anything better than to send the same Taladat to Dorana's relatives. He even had a reason to visit. Here the person wanted to get acquainted with relatives of the girl of the pupil. Yes, just in case.Taladat did not want to get acquainted with any relatives, but he was faced with the fact that there was no one but him. Toen is now sharply interested. Behind him, almost in droves, are various suspicious personalities and pretty girls. If he goes to visit someone, these people will also be sharply interested. Atana herself, however, could not come up with a clear reason for calling Tols and Eina to her office. And calling them somewhere else would again be suspicious. Okay, if only Eina, the fact that she is even weak, but a prophetess, is not such a big secret. However, the fact that Tolsa is fond of rituals is also easy to find out. The same Teika will gladly tell everyone who wants to listen t
