Koyan and his band of trackers showed up surprisingly quickly. The picnic was in full swing. Dean was eager to fight Kalar. Khiyat feigned stupidity and temporary deafness, pinching off small pieces from an apple pie. He did not react at all to the terribly funny stories about water workers. He cast thoughtful glances at Dorana, who was sitting next to him, and obediently ate everything that Marika gave him. Liiran was even jealous. Nobody wanted to take care of him, and near this strange guy, both girls present are sitting.Maybe it's worth pretending to be the same jerk who can die of hunger without noticing a pile of food in front of his nose?Pathfinders who fell out of the pointed portal did not allow the group commander to develop this idea. After that, life for Liiran became generally an unpleasant thing. It was he who had to lead the newcomers to the Chalice and show the finds. Then return back in splendid isolation, angry at Koyan, who ordered the group to get out somewhere f
Liiran kept his word.At first, Khiyat sat for half a day in the corridor, waiting for the great and terrible one to be released, who wanted to talk to him personally. For most of that time, he cheekily slept, ignoring the disapproving look of the assistant girl who guarded the office. Most of the time I yawned frantically and thought about the dragons, because of which I did not get enough sleep at night. And what did they decide to dream about? And it would be fine if they just dreamed, they would fly there themselves, without touching anyone. These bastards first led a round dance around Khiyat, such beautiful ones. Yellow is the smallest and chubbiest. Bright scarlet - a little larger and much angrier in appearance, all so fluid-sharp. Steel gray with black stripes looked like a shark, but for some reason it seemed kind-hearted. He was quite large, larger than Hiyat himself. And the largest one is blue-green, with a transparent bluish crest and perky sparks in the eyes.This four
Looking at Dorana's brother, Hiat realized that the girl had no chance to grow up small, graceful and fragile. Erin Pai was a whole head taller than Khiyat, who was not at all short, and in the shoulders, it seems, was generally twice as wide. This guy could easily kill bears with his bare hands and walk on a dragon with one sword.Khiyat did not feel like a bear or a dragon and really wanted to advise the guy to look for an opponent that was suitable in size. But he is unlikely to agree. He clearly loved his sister and was ready to teach anyone for her sake, even against his wishes.- And what can you do? grumbled Erin, also examining Hiyat from head to toe, and, apparently, remaining dissatisfied with what he saw.He shrugged.Yes, I studied a little. Now at the guardian, then one guy taught.“Uh-huh,” Erin said incredulously. - Let's see.It sounded promising.“He looks frail,” he said to the smiling Dorana.“I'm better off without a shirt,” my sister said in the tone of an experie
“You know, people definitely need to dream about something,” Ladai said, lying on the grass and screwing up his multi-colored eyes in the sun. “A man without a dream is empty. He has nowhere to go, but he must go. If you stand still for a long time, you will grow into the ground like an ancient stone. You become inflexible. Your thoughts will flow slowly, slowly, into the void, because there will be nothing to flow to. Yes, a person needs a dream, it makes him move.- And what do you dream about? Khiyat asked, massaging his aching forearm.Ladai somehow managed to pierce the armor. And it was not at all that this armor was weak, the sword was not real either. He just hit like that. At some angle. Or changing the angle at the moment when the protection was strengthened at the place of impact, and punched it in another place. Hiyat failed to catch this moment. But he tried and tried, wanting to solve the riddle himself.- Now? Laday smiled. I don't know, that's the problem. I used to dr
The fact that he is doing stupid things, Khiyat understood from the very beginning. But did. And stubbornly. Climbing up Despo's neck, over his head, and then slipping off his beak onto a cross between a dragon and a toad that adorned the corner of the Council House was, to put it mildly, insane. But he climbed and slipped. After that, Despo flew off to make a circle of honor and look for where to drop Ladai, so that it would be both noisy and safe, and his costume of the night Scarecrow was immediately noticed. The braids for the image were again missing, but ...But still, Ladai did not look as stupid as Khiyat, who hugged the stone scarecrow with his arms and legs and tried to remember how he was going to get off her. It was to climb down onto the cornice that surrounded the stained-glass windows, and not fall down on the roses growing below, as the imagination suggested.In the yard, on the other side of the house, someone screamed, and Khiyat realized that there was nothing more
Khiyat woke up from the fact that someone rather heavy fell on his stomach. And then he started jumping.Opening his eyes, the guy realized that with the fact that he had already woken up, he got a little excited. A familiar dragon jumped on his stomach. Yellow such, only noticeably grown up.- What else? Khiyat asked wearily.“Fire and water,” the dragon grinned with fangs. - Opposite elements. The ones that interfere with each other. But if you make them complement each other…” Yellow’s smile turned dreamy.- What will happen?“There will be a force capable of destroying the indestructible.“Uh-huh,” Khiyat said thoughtfully. “Now I’ll wake up and go to unite.The little dragon hissed, stomped, and then bared his teeth even wider."You'll have to learn," he said promisingly. - Learn quickly. And not only this.Then he spat in the guy's face. Something suspiciously similar to the famous dragon fire. Khiyat barely had time to close his eyes, he felt something warm spread across his fa
The channels eventually tuned in. Sleep was worse. Hiyat had frequent nightmares. I even had to steal the soothing tincture from Dela. From the brothers of Dorana, who decided either to kill him or make him a real warrior, the guy somehow hid. Ladai with training agreed to wait. So it was possible to rest. It seems to be.And the snake was in no hurry to appear or send a dragon.At first, Khiyat was even childishly offended and offended almost until the evening. Well, he tried so hard. And if it weren’t for Dorana, who declared for no reason that self-respecting girls would not run after a guy who didn’t call them with him, they would have continued to waste time. But thanks to the red fury, I realized that I was wrong. The snake is a guardian. And they don't show up unannounced either.Inspired by joy, the guy kissed Dorana, which at that moment he was ready to carry in his arms, and cheerfully rushed off to look for a quiet place to talk with one of the incarnations of the city. The
“You piss me off,” said Dorana, tripping over a stone hiding in the grass.She shook her head and stubbornly walked on. Of course, saying something like that to a guy whose attention you are going to attract, and you are going to for a long time, for almost ten days, is not worth it. But alone with herself, the girl was not going to restrain herself. What brought him here? On the one hand, there was finally a chance to catch him alone. But on the other hand, she never liked wandering through the forests, fields and bushes. And here the grove seems to be small, bright, but there are a lot of stones, and nothing is visible behind the bushes.The girl even thought about giving up this idea and catching Hiyat in the city, spitting on possible witnesses. She squeezed herself between two spreading bushes and froze, almost choking on another curse.Khiyat has been found.He was lying on a large stone slab, strangely white, with some kind of pattern on the side. And not just lay there. For so
