City of inheritance 1
PrologueThe ritual was coming to an end, and the kid continued to smile as serenely as before. As if he still did not understand that he would die here and now, that his life would become another victim on the path to true power. Not his power. As if he did not feel pain and cold, did not feel how blood from the cut veins flows through the palms, collects at the fingertips and drops to the ground, right into the center of the multi-beam star.The boy wanted to hit. By physiognomy. To erase forever that smile of his, which had been so annoying for three whole years. bastard. This student was the most insufferable of them all. But at the same time, it is so strong that it could be tolerated for another three years, if there was a chance to make this force faster, sharper, brighter. But such a chance, unfortunately, is not and never will be. If the training is not stopped in time, then the next student can surpass the teacher, and then it is not known who will become a victim during the

The group goes on a hike.Liiran doubtfully looked at the team, selected by the kindest and most noble head of the Council of the Great Darine Atana, and realized that he really hit. Of course, he suspected something of the kind even at the moment when Atana spent ten minutes explaining what a difficult situation was in the city and in general on the islands of the Small Triangle. I just didn't think it would be this bad. The team is worse than you can imagine.The commander is Liiran Vue, who just two months ago, for unknown merit, sucked out of his finger, received a silver chain and all rights, along with the duties of a junior leader. The father was happy and proud. Well, his dear son, a recognized lazybones, inclined to hide in corners and avoid unnecessary responsibility in every possible way, received a chain at the age of eighteen. And he didn't even have to participate in the madhouse called the coming-of-age exams. Hooray! Honor and praise to the offspring! Let all the enemi

Everyone stared at Hiyata in surprise. Liiran himself could hardly restrain himself from staring at him as if he were a manifestation of the elements in its purest form. Someone who, but Khiyat definitely should not have answered. He is never aware of anything.- Pulling power? Kalar asked stupidly. He is also an adept of water, he must understand that pulling power from water is the same as trying to set fire to this water. With water, you can only agree, or not agree.“Yeah, I was surprised too,” Khiyat nodded, smiling broadly and distantly. — Do you know the river near the village U Yama? I bought yellow clay from one aunt. She does it well, I can’t do it like that, I don’t get along with the earth at all. So, that river begins on the Gray Giant. And the aunt takes it and complains that the water has become wrong, as if not alive. I went and checked, it turned out, really not alive.- What? - of course, the question is not the smartest, especially for the group commander, but it es

What did the water say? Dorana asked."It's going to rain soon, and two people are coming north of here," Khiyat replied. Appeasement was slipping from his face like melted make-up, gradually being replaced by the usual readiness to fight with everyone and everything and a slight touch of stubbornness.— What kind of people? Liiran asked. After all, he is in charge here, which means he is responsible for this whole crazy company.“I have no idea,” Khiyat said indifferently and shrugged his shoulders, demonstrating that those people were of little interest to him. “I just thought it was better to know about their presence than not to know. And also, a little to the left of the mountain, along which people roam, a terrible thing is hidden. Just don't ask which one. Water cannot answer such questions."The benefits of your water," Dean snorted and proudly turned his nose up as he walked towards the fire.- Definitely more than from you, - Khiyat did not remain in debt.“Shut up, both of

And when there will be plenty of time again and there will be no need to rush anywhere, Khiyat will tell him about his headache. He will like it. He couldn't even predict that. It's too incredible.However, the friend agreed to agree, but I don’t want to remember how many nerves he spoiled. Apparently, it was easier for him to come to terms with his own death than to realize that there was a chance to survive. So Khiyat had to convince and argue. Coordinate and double-check for the thousandth time ... And be afraid. And have conversations with yourself to calm down, feeling completely crazy. And occasionally talk to this stubborn donkey, trying to prove something either to him or to yourself.Why are you arguing with me? You know that I'm right. Tradition, right? Such a stupid tradition. Forget about her for a while. Then you will remember. The main thing is that this "later" was. Yes, yes, I am petty, stupid and dependent. And also useless. I remember. And you are a self-satisfied fo

ReturnAnd the morning started with a surprise.Khiyat is gone.“Will someone explain to me where this idiot has gone?” growled Liiran, glaring at the stone at his feet with hatred.“Yeah, you still shout and stomp your feet,” an inner voice happily prompted. "Impress your subordinates."“He said that he needed to go to one place, not far from here,” Tiyan answered sleepily. “He said he would be back soon.“That bastard,” Liiran said with feeling. Who knew that Hiyat would want to walk alone in these not very safe mountains? - How long has he been gone?“It was still dark,” Tiyan said indifferently and yawned widely.“At least two hours ago,” Liiran groaned. We spent the night in a safe place, they say. In a dry cave, to her. Where did this idiot go?A cheerful prospect - to lose a subordinate in the mountains. Just sleep through his departure. And who is to blame? Definitely not Tiyan. Liiran didn't say that no one was allowed to leave the cave until morning. So it's his own fault.A

“Uuuuu, yo-o-o,” said Khiyat in such a tone that Ladai involuntarily felt his face, looking for horrific wounds and other troubles.- What? he asked, making sure that the sensations did not lie, and there was nothing there but scratches.- Eye. Left.- What's wrong with the eye?“It’s yellow,” Khiyat said and leaned over to his friend to get a better look. - Not even that. He is very yellow. The right one is your own, brown, and this one is yellow. Even more yellow than Marika's cat. It is so yellow that it looks like it glows.- Does it glow? - That's just what Ladai lacked. On the other hand, he didn't expect to survive the night at all. So the eye is nonsense. Even if he disappeared altogether, it would be a small loss compared to life.“Yeah,” Khiyat confirmed somehow too cheerfully. “You are now a walking special sign. As if there were not enough abnormally white hair and tattoos on the entire back. Only the scar is more noticeable is not enough.“I’ll think of something,” Ladai

- It concerns you first of all! barked the head of the Great Council.Aesir Tmania pursed his lips in displeasure.“Everything about this puppy has nothing to do with me anymore. The renunciation was carried out according to the rules and officially recognized by the council ...- Sit, I said! the kindest and noblest Darine Atana practically growled. “Liiran, sit down too, don’t be so bright,” she snapped at the young leader of the unsuccessful group, who was shifting uncertainly near the door. Sit wherever you want, even on the floor. Everyone should listen to Koyan very carefully, because in the near future you will have to repeat these words several hundred times, so that all those involved and simply overly curious understand and realize. Clear? Esir, if you move again and try to open your mouth, I am not responsible for myself. Goyang, we are listening to your report.The white-haired head of the rangers sighed heavily and nodded to some of his thoughts.“As you already know, yes

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

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
