Castle Darine Atana did not allow to destroy.First of all, she personally gouged the table in the central hall, ending eternity for the flailers with this deed, and ordered to burn what was left of the people tied to it. She then posted guards wherever she saw fit. And then, having quarreled a bit with the council and heads of schools, she sent several groups to the castle to study the library, laboratories, and in general everything that they consider interesting.Having puzzled everyone and everyone, the kind and wise woman wanted to ask Khiyat and the resurrected Ladai, but then an unpleasant surprise awaited her. This couple still did not want to return to the world of the living, although they were clearly in no hurry to the dead. The medics asked her to wait, and the head of the council had to accept, although Liiran personally heard her mutter under her breath that it was impossible to give the boys time to come up with a plausible lie. How they could have conspired without re
City of inheritance The city needs a guardian!
Darine Atana gazed at the ancient document for a long time. Description of the call or invocation. The author of the document himself was confused as to how it is correctly called. The essence remained the same - the city, or rather those who represent the city authorities, call and invite. Keepers, or rather, close relatives of the keepers of different cities, respond, come and try with all their might to become the keepers of the city that called.Everything is simple.And there is no choice left.So why are you so reluctant to do it?“It’s like giving up your home to an enemy,” the woman whispered. - You volunteer. Because he himself is a miserable cripple, unable to take care of either the house or the family. Yes, you give and hope that the enemy will take care of you, and not turn your living and breathing house into a dead shell that will fall from any wrong move.We need to hope and believe.Atana did not like either. And if there was any choice...“Go, enemies, my house is wa

Khiyat gloomily looked at the overgrown rosehip bush, into which the roses that once grew here had degenerated, and was silent. Like deaf.“I understand that it’s too late to go to Atana with the story about your bloody pants. I will be ridiculed after Ladai showed up alive and well. But you have to explain to me. Otherwise, I won't be able to trust you, not even a little. I am the group leader. And you already lied to me about a direct question,” Liiran assured, not really hoping for anything.He seemed like a boring idiot to himself. Hoping that Khiyat will see something else is stupid. On the other hand, the position is binding. The group leader needs to know as much as possible about his subordinates. Only very arrogant individuals rely on knowledge of everything. Liiran didn't think of himself as such. In fact, he didn't expect to find out anything at all. But he couldn't ask or demand.And this was another reason why I wanted to throw a silver chain, bestowed for obscure merits,
City of inheritance Determined girl
“She said she would make you study at school,” Khiyat said, looking at the spider swinging on a cobweb glued to the ceiling.Probably needs some cleaning. At least a few rooms. Khiyat would not have had the strength, desire, or time for the whole house. But, to be honest, there was hardly enough inspiration for the library, and the hands never reached the books.- At school? asked Ladai languidly, reclining on the windowsill.“At school,” Khiyat confirmed.If the kindest and wisest saw how he persuades Ladai, she would surely die of laughter. Or finally convinced of his stupidity.“Okay,” the blond agreed easily and hit his head against the glass. Not the first time, by the way.In the guardian's house, Ladai hid from his father, who wished to return his son to the family at all costs. The son resisted with all his might, diligently avoided his relatives, and when this did not work out, he did not get tired of impolitely explaining that he was better alone. And in general, he no longe
City of inheritance Calm before the storm
The day for Liiran's group began with another solemn speech about how lucky they were and how much luck they would have in the future. Velda spoke, this time well-rested and disgustingly cheerful. The group unanimously looked at her as if she was an idiot, even Khiyat, but the girl did not notice this.- And then we ... - the candidate for the guardian was inspired.“I already want to go to the toilet,” Kalar said grimly behind Dorana. How long will she be delirious? And in general, we should accompany her, not listen."You shouldn't have drunk the beer," Dean said in a tone as if Kalar had taken the beer from him.Velda carried over bumps and gullies. She stood in a proud pose, waving her hand in front of her and talking about how lucky the city was to have her. She will definitely improve, rebuild, decorate and rejuvenate him. It will sparkle..."Like a cat's balls," Kalarus said.Dorana and Marika snorted in unison and Liiran had to shush his subordinates, otherwise the ward would

Velda apparently decided to take revenge herself, because, as Liiran did not expect or fear, he was never called to the kindest and wisest woman for a well-deserved scolding.Ladai successfully passed his exam, and there was no need to think about it anymore. What could not but rejoice. Redhead misunderstanding and without revenge continued to cause trouble. She was almost bitten by dogs when she tried to enter someone's yard to smell the flowers, and the girl then went bankrupt for a long time that she would order to burn these huts and drive out all the dogs.Then she wanted to see the fish market. From there, she jumped out holding her nose and promising terrible punishments to the sellers, for which someone poured water over her with fish giblets and husks. Who doused it remains unclear. They splashed through the fence, behind which the pourer was not visible. And the sellers and fishermen did not see anyone and did not know anything. They did not like the insults of the red upsta
City of inheritance Island of Calling Women
The night was good. A bright black sky with a scattering of stars, like a silk scarf with sparks that my father brought to my mother from the mainland. The moon, like a thin sickle-boat, floated among the stars. The night flowers smelled stupefyingly—large white and blue bells suspended from thin stalks that sagged under their weight. As these flowers are called, Dorana could not remember, although her mother said.The grass rustled in the wind. The insects chirped, chirped and chirped. White moths hung in clusters from the branches of a blooming crowberry. This tree has flowers, of course, inconspicuous, greenish and small, but they smell in such a way that people want to try them. Especially at night.And among this splendor she crept - Dorana. Stumbling over fragments of branches hiding in the grass, which have been promised to my mother for years by my father and brothers. Feeling awkward and redundant.It also seemed to her that no one was waiting for her in the garden, that she
City of inheritance Happiness is not up to you
Dorana failed to return quietly and imperceptibly. However, the guys did not succeed either, and it was worse for them. The girl even sincerely thanked Hiyat that he did not go into details when he invited her to visit the ghosts. Because they didn't ask her. More precisely, he didn’t ask - an irritated uncle, some kind of assistant to Darine Atana in the sixth dozen. He found out that the girl was simply invited, and she agreed to go, without specifying the details of where and why. He called Dorana a fool and switched to the guys. He questioned them for a long time and about everything. Starting with who told them about the necessary woman, and ending with why they went to the ghosts without telling anyone about it?The boys took turns answering. Calmly answered, wordy and confused.Khiyat claimed that he dreamed of a huge snake and warned that it was impossible to go to the ruins of the temple without a woman. Dorana's assistant nodded, looked at the purple stone hanging on a strin

Final
Toen boredly looked at the ceiling. A white and smooth ceiling, for some reason similar to a frozen and snow-covered lake.In general, Toen liked to lie there and do nothing. Always liked it. He just didn't want to admit it to himself for a long time. There were a lot of people around who aspired to something, wanted to achieve something, were going to grow above themselves and make great discoveries. And here he is - wanting to wallow on the beach and watch the surf lick the shore. It's stupid. And unworthy of a man.Therefore, Toen gritted his teeth and began to achieve everything in a row and in spite of everything. For a while it was even interesting. Then it stopped being interesting, but pride in oneself appeared. By that time, he had left almost all his acquaintances far behind. Then he rolled by inertia for some time, until one day he thought: why is it needed? Toen never found an answer to this question. Therefore, he quit his job and, without saying goodbye to anyone, went t

Battle
Dorana managed to relax and get bored again when the guy sitting next to her naturally jumped up, froze in a strange position with bulging eyes, and then collapsed into her seat and began to think about something diligently, judging by the expression on her face. The girl was even afraid to ask why all these gestures. Suddenly it dawned on him, and right now he is inventing a recipe for eternal youth. And she will kill, and he will forget everything.Ladai's expression became at first gloomy, and then frankly gloomy. He stood up, leaned against the railing, and stared at something for a long time. Then he again returned to his place and froze in a relaxed pose, putting his hands on his knees.“Yes,” he said at last. - Do you have a shield?Dorana nodded and showed Ladai the bracelets. He scowled at them, touched them with his fingertip, and nodded.- Do you know how to sculpt birds?The girl shook her head negatively.- Badly. Liiran must be warned, they are two balconies from us, als

Advice
A huge white snake and a man sitting on its head watched what was happening in the city that was dear to them. At night, they observed when most of the townspeople were asleep, and a minority was engaged in those things that are not customary to do in the light of day. Or for which they did not have enough time during the day.What was interesting to the snake and man began quite recently. In one of the oldest houses in the city, the light came on in almost all the windows. Shadows darted across the rooms. Weapons began to jingle, then human voices began to rustle. Quietly, but both the man and the snake, if desired, could hear what these people are saying. They just didn't want to.Noise in this house for a long time. Then the armed people began to disperse in small groups in order to gather around the House of Soviets and hide.The man smiled and whispered:- She was always reinsured and knew how to convince. Note that there are very few guards there, mostly people from older famili

Family matters
The retelling of the conversation with the red-haired Wayne did not take much time. Then Atana told Toen in person how Khiyat confessed that he was the guardian of the cities and how those present reacted to this. I did not forget to mention that Teika, apparently from a great mind, did not come up with anything better than trying to enter the house of the keepers. For some reason, he decided that since the house has an owner, then the door there will be open. As a result, having tried to use force and influence the elements, he got back and now lay in the hospital near that very house. With a complex fracture of the leg, he was lying around, a dislocated shoulder and a blue bruise, in some places peeled off his back. Yeah, lying around was uncomfortable for him, and painkillers didn’t help much in this matter.But the brave adviser managed to share the news about Hiyata with everyone who was not lucky enough to get close enough to him. And now various rumors were circulating around t

Red cloaked man
“A strong bastard,” Toen repeated, when the assistants finally left the head of the council alone, and various sympathizers stopped breaking into the house, wanting to personally make sure that she was not hurt.Atana saw everyone off with the words that she needed to rest and think that the trackers were dealing with the incident at the training ground, that everyone could offer their help and be sent to distant places by the already dissatisfied Koyan. Nobody wanted to be sent, so those who wanted to understand and help quickly ended.Atana, with a sense of accomplishment, locked the door and went into the kitchen to prepare soothing tea. And there was Toen sitting at the table, who wanted to talk.“You see,” he said, “we didn’t even notice him right away. His rustling of pebbles underfoot gave away. Almost perfect invisibility. If you don’t know where to look, you won’t even notice a slight tremor in the air. But we noticed. They waited for him to stop, and behaved very stupidly. W

Finds and trap
On an island surrounded by rocks sticking out of the water, like those very dragon fangs, Taladat got with the help of a portal stone. To be honest, he was afraid to the last that Toen, who was gnawing his pipe, had calculated something incorrectly, made a mistake somewhere, and the portal would not open to an island at all. At best, in the open sea. At worst, in a cluster of rocks, from which, according to rumors, it is generally impossible to get out. But I had to take the risk. And, oddly enough, it was worth it. Some bad person set up a whole warehouse on the island, building a wooden hut and protecting it from all possible and impossible dangers, including time. And another bad, but obviously talented person managed to crack the protection against penetration and not bring down all the others. He also hung a signal above the door, which Taladat fiddled with for a very long time before he forced her to ignore him.“Deeds,” Taladath said, once inside the building.No, these were no

labyrinth
Neti Larka was pretty, considered talented and was sure that she was smart and charming. And everything would have been just fine, but, unfortunately, she was unlucky too often. And now, instead of being in the same trio with someone worthy of her person, she discovered the fool Aika Vila and some strange guy. Aika generally seemed to be chasing her. Last time they were also in the same trio and Neti did not receive the chain due to the fact that she spent most of her time arguing with this fool. And how not to argue with her if she does not understand elementary things? For example, the fact that someone smart should be in command, and not a loud-mouthed girl who skipped half the lessons at school. To be honest, Neti did not understand at all how Aika could be allowed to take the exam. What if she gets a chain? Because of some stupid accident. Then there will be no trouble with her at all.“The main thing is not to waste time arguing again,” Neti muttered and looked at the guy.He st

Atana listened to Darine's report very attentively. So attentively, without interrupting or even asking again, that Taladat very soon suspected some kind of trick.“Why didn’t you tell me about fortune-telling right away?” she finally asked the question when Toen finished his story.“They wanted to check, search,” he said, somehow not very confidently, and smiled sadly. Looks like I know what you're going to say now.— Goonies! she said eagerly. "Why are you even looking for someone?" More precisely, why do you need such a complicated and dangerous way to look for someone whom I can point a finger at without spending a moment on reflection ?!- Can? Taladat was genuinely surprised.- Do you seriously think that in our city there are many relatives of your ward, whose mother died, father is unknown, uncle sits on the council, and they themselves run away from responsibility? Or do you think these relatives have many children who have thrown themselves under the wing of their grandmothe

conclusions
Failed to get drunk.Kalar was just finishing his second beer, and Khiyat was dozing over the remnants of the first, as if some unfamiliar uncle appeared in the pub where the company was sitting, cursed the owner for no reason and ordered the applicants for silver chains to get out. Dean, already angry for no reason at all, answered the uncle's claims, and they quarreled merrily until the guards came and kicked everyone out of the establishment, including the owner. On the street it turned out that the owner of the piteyny was an idiot and was breaking someone's plans. The guards are still big idiots, because they did not recognize their native authorities, who the guests of the city generally considered to be some kind of extraneous uncle, climbing into their own affairs.On the other hand, the commanders of the guards called the group of Liiran Vue almost geniuses and began to assure that they would definitely receive the chains. These assurances shocked even Kalar, and Dean looked
