City of inheritance Sad story
Dila fussed around her brother, trying to feed him, question him, persuade him and scold him at the same time. She made her feel comfortable and at home. Ladai gloomily watched this action. In his family, it was not customary to behave like that, especially in front of witnesses. In general, they showed little of their feelings there, and these feelings were mostly negative. And now Ladai felt uncomfortable, as if he were spying on something very intimate.Hiyat and Doran weren't embarrassed by this behavior in the least. The guy periodically approached the table and dragged the meat off the guardian's plate, explaining this act by saying that he didn’t want to eat at all, so he wouldn’t sit at the table, but the meat smelled very appetizing. The girl admired the family idyll and drew something on a napkin, also taken by Khiyat from Taladat.Then Dila got tired of bothering, she looked around and ordered everyone to sit down at the table. She remembered that she had not introduced Lad
City of inheritance Another sad story
The next day, apparently having thought of something at night, Khiyat decided to go to his grandfather Dorana's native village. To find a hermit living in a cave and ask her a few more questions. He took Dorana with him, she was there and knew where she was. And Ladai, Liiran and Taladat were charged with doing everything in their power to hide their absence from the city.While Khiyat confusedly and verbosely explained why all this was needed, Vin also went to ask questions. The person who convinced him of being chosen and special. For courage, the fireman drank, because of which his path was not easy and full of obstacles. Something fell under my feet, then the streets and alleys disappeared somewhere, and then the city wall came from somewhere. The guy kicked her a couple of times in frustration and sat down, leaning his back against her. I decided to rest, think and remember the right way. The bright sun warmed the alcohol in his blood, increased his strength and Vin fell asleep.
City of inheritance Fishing on a balancer
Toen lay on the roof and looked at the clouds, all as one for some reason resembling dogs. Sometimes huge and vicious, sometimes affectionate and playful, sometimes hysterical mongrels. He suspected that he saw these dogs in the clouds because of the head of the council. A bad woman, really. Who knew that she would not agree to walk around the city and knock on a couple of houses. He would have brought her almost immediately to where the first suspect lives. But it didn't work out. And now it's too late. Even if this suspect left the city, now he has already returned. Toen personally saw him leaving his guardian's house. The girl was still hugging. Probably, if you ask them, both will wrinkle, blush and hint in every possible way that they were lying in bed for half a day. Together. They did not invite any witnesses there. And try, prove they're lying. Not under a rock to ask them about their personal lives.And Darine is a bad woman. Always trying to do everything right and the right
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
City of inheritance old desire
- 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
City of inheritance Search
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
City of inheritance Travel far
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
