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

- 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

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

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
