The man stood amazed at the unexpectedly warm welcome of the girl, and the rest of the companions stood unable to hide the happy smiles that lit up their faces. "Has he really become so dear to them!" - the guy was surprised, in no way able to get used to the idea that someone could worry so much about him. No, of course, they worried about him before, and waited, as if without it, but so much, as if he were not just an acquaintance, an accidental fellow traveler, but a real friend. Uncertainly embracing the fragile, trembling shoulders, he suddenly, somehow confused, lightly patted the girl on the shoulder, wanting to comfort her. But she burst into tears only more than before. Finally confused about what to do, the guy just froze, hugging Daisy and no longer making attempts to console her. Only occasionally listening to how through soft sobs she muttered fragmentary phrases,- We thought... you were dead... we were looking... you... we...Finally weeping, she pulled away, punching
- Do you take water from Vogra? - Claude interrupted the narrator.“Yeah,” the man said, and continued. - However, these were the first signs. Then it got worse, the sick began to develop a rash, weakness, and the worst thing was that nothing helped. This attack has already begun to collect its victims. - At these words, a bitter warehouse lay on the forehead of a warrior who was not at all indifferent to what was happening with his compatriots.- And it won't work! - Claude severely cut off, making the rest of the interlocutors shudder, - since your illness comes from here! he proclaimed, pointing his finger at the calm waters of the Vogra. A wide full-flowing river that has absorbed a considerable number of mountain streams, pacified their proud disposition, and released them further in their calm waters.Are you sure, Claude?- Why do you think so?Rolk and Aren exclaimed in chorus, looking with surprise and disbelief at such serene water.- Yes I am sure. You yourself sniff, from
They walked mostly in silence, the conversation did not stick in any way, starting and fading without having time to gain momentum. Alita and Rolk did not seem to notice anyone or anything at all, absorbed in each other, which made them even a little envious. After all, in the place of a friend could be Claude, who himself refused the attention of a woman. Although in this decision he was unshakable. He did not want a closer relationship, except for those that had already been established between them, and Daisyra was still very small for this. She and her brother did not fit into their company at all, looking like snotty children, fragile and defenseless. Only Claude already knew what these children could be capable of when they found themselves in a dangerous situation. He liked this feature of the guys, not to lose their heads in times of danger, with such a feature they would not be lost in this rather cruel world.It was already not the first hour of the journey, and the landscap
After walking a few meters, he stopped out of sight of the monster, whose visibility of vision reduced its range, and sank to the ground. The further path will have to be crawled. This mode of transportation was not convenient. Since the grass fell behind the collar, tickled the chin, pricked the bare stomach, when the jacket was pulled up, from an awkward movement. It was difficult to breathe under the rag, and the stench made me want to constantly sneeze and rub my eyes, which never stopped watering. Yes, and the constant flapping of huge wings overhead strained. He heard screams of pain and the sounds of falling bodies heard from the side or above him, but the most infuriating thing about his plan was that he did not see at all what was happening above him. He had only to rely on his comrades and crawl, crawl. What he did. Slowly, but getting closer to the goal.He drew the sword from the sheath even when he was flattened on the ground, trying to merge with the grass, but now the p
Staying here was tantamount to suicide, the fire was everywhere, burning. Sparks rained down, threatening to set fire to clothes. Everything seemed to be on fire, every part of his long-suffering body was engulfed in flames, although he understood that this only seemed to be due to the heat surrounding him. There was no desire to fight, but Claude was not used to giving up so quickly, if he had given up so easily, he would have died long ago, but he wanted to live. Slightly rising, he tried to crawl away, hissing from the pain in the burnt palms, which did not escape the meeting with the flames, but nothing came of it. The weight pressing down on him from above seriously pressed him to the surface, not allowing him to budge. "I won't die here!" - the guy growled, feeling how bright flowers begin to bloom before his eyes, blooming with a lack of oxygen, and the nasty darkness is already clouding his consciousness. He wanted so badly to give up and let himself fall asleep. Shaking h
- We did it! he said, not recognizing his own voice, which sounded hoarse and low.“You really are crazy Claude,” Rolk said thoughtfully, in spite of his friend. - You understand that we almost went crazy with fear for you when you rushed back into the fire. For me to agree to your plan at least once, my nerves are not enough. Abnormal.- What else was left for me when the set fire rags did not take up, extinguished by the wind. I had to use a different tool, but I slightly did not calculate its power.- You didn’t calculate it, you say ... You yourself look at what you have turned this place into.Gently turning towards the former nesting place, Claude was speechless in surprise. The place where the nest was no longer existed, and everything the fire managed to reach, too, and its all-consuming arms turned out to be very long. A few meters around the place where he took an unequal battle with the creatures attacking him, lay a black burnt desert, on which nothing would grow for many,
НАЗАД1...91011 ВПЕРЕДКогда плот все-таки причалил к берегу, они с облегчением выбрались на сушу, после такой экстремальной переправы, окружающий ливень показался им лёгким неудобством. А на берегу их уже ждала повозка, заправленная двумя лошадьми, с крытым верхом и зашторенными окнами, представляя собой довольно сумрачное зрелище, но зато она внушала надежду хоть ненадолго, но укрыться от вездесущей воды, которая была всюду. Так что не сопротивляясь и ни о чем не спрашивая они в компании Арена забрались в повозку, места было мало, но в тесноте было даже теплее. Сидеть так прижавшись друг к дружке, чувствуя дыхание товарищей, сидящих рядом, навевало необычные ощущения. За все время пути никем не было не произнесено ни слова, даже Арен, несмотря на вопрос горящий в глазах, постеснялся их спрашивать о чем-либо, видимо их внешний вид говорил все за них. Тряся и подкидывая повозка везла их недолго, вскоре слегка дернувшись затормозила и остановилась. Когда они выбрались из повозки, их
Claude didn't know how long he slept, surrendering to the will of sleep, for the first time in a long time allowing himself to sleep as much as he could. Tired, exhausted body needed rest, and it was not every time that he had the opportunity to rest so calmly. Reluctantly, he opened his eyes. An unfamiliar room in an unfamiliar house, last time he was very tired to look at the interior of the room, the main thing was that there was dinner, a bed and a bath. At that time, the most necessary details of the situation. Now, with a slightly cloudy look from sleep, he lazily glided over the expensive curtains that curtained the windows, a wide bed filled with expensive bed linen made of cool smooth silk and a huge fluffy carpet imitating someone's skin, but Claude had never met such an animal. I didn't want to get up at all.Rising briskly, he gracefully walked into the bathroom, where the clothes he had washed were drying, which had already dried well. Without hesitation, the guy got dres
