City of inheritance When to Think
“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
City of inheritance Trouble in the Council House
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
City of inheritance An almost lost game in the "Field"
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
City of inheritance Dungeons and mysteries
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
City of inheritance Thoughts and rituals
“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

"He looks weird," Dean said thoughtfully, looking at something over Liiran's head.The group leader turned around and saw Hiyata. His hairstyle was strange. Hair became shorter, and somehow uneven. It seemed that someone tore out part of the hair, shortened the second part, and left the rest to grow as you like. So this magnificence stuck out in all directions like a slovenly crow's nest.Maybe he had a fight with a girl? Tiyan suggested.“We need to clarify with which one,” Kalar nodded. To stay away from her.Dorana snorted loudly for some reason.Khiyat looked around the crowd gathered in the Common Hall with an absent-minded look, found his group and confidently walked towards them. Liiran watched indignantly as the people made way for the negligent subordinate and turned away. Nobody gave way to him and did not think, he had to ask and seep past. It's a shame somehow.- Who do you like that? Kalar asked first of all, admiring Hiyat's hairdo even up close. Apparently, he longed to
City of inheritance end of part one
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

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
