Uras came down the stairs and told them to lead the horses through the fog. The fog swirled around Tumaris's knees, hiding her feet. The fog was not as thick as outside the town, but she could barely make out her friends. The town had fallen silent. A few more windows were burning than before, however, but the thick fog turned most of them into dim spots. The only thing visible in the misty glow was Uras' white horse. The houses in the town were as if floating in a sea of ​​clouds.

Yelis shifted rigidly from the pain of the long journey. Walking was no better than horseback riding right now. Abigial came up to him. His long coat was soaking wet. Abigial grumpily held the now-soaked coat close to the others and took it from his shoulders. Elendiz grunted to himself and muttered in a low voice. Finally, Yelis grumbled as well, words like "Hot food" or "fire" had reached Elendiz. Elendiz approached Yelis with the joy of finding a supporter. “Hello, I am Elendiz,” he said, extending his h

    Ewin in a flat voice. "Looks like you won't be able to work for a while, that's bad for you." The woman took one of the bottles from her cloak and handed it to the man. The boatman stared for a moment at the bottle in the Woman's hand by the light of the lantern, then his shoulders hunched and his eyes fell on the others he crossed. A cry was heard, meanwhile. As the boatman grabbed the bottle from the woman, he turned and ran into the mist. The men beside him were following him only half a step behind the river. they disappeared below.Ewin looked after them for a moment, then said, "We can't stay here any longer, we must hurry," his voice sounding as if nothing out of the ordinary had just happened. Ewin began to walk toward the shore at the head of his black mare. Everyone in the group followed him. Ewin and the Woman stood beside their horses at the border, when the fog had passed, and began to discuss how to continue their way from now on. The others stood somewhat apart from the

    Even the horses froze. The scream was heard again. The voices seemed to pierce Yelis like a needle, and they blocked his ears at an angle. Then the screams faded and disappeared. Clueless, Mextumsila dismounted and scanned the sky. “Lucky, he's looking for the river to find us,” he said, suddenly taking a realistic tone. “Let's go inside, get some rest and have a warm bite to eat and drink.” As everyone looked around in the open area, she pointed to the clearing between the trees. The opening was so narrow that they crawled on their hands and knees and crawled down a short tunnel. They finally stopped, there was an irregularly shaped area just ahead. "Let's make a fire, we'll be safe here," said Ewin. Uras quickly prepared a bed of river stones for fire. The wet wood caught fire easily when Mextumsila poured a bottle she had pulled out of her cloak into the woods. Everyone in the group gathered around the fire to warm up as the smoke drifted upward. Mextumsila and Ewin threw their clo

    When the sun rose above the horizon, Ewin had already awakened all but the Woman. After a while, they cleared all evidence of their stay there and set off east for Pasina. Even though the shadows under Mextumsila's eyes were evident, she sat upright and steady in her saddle.The fog still hung thickly over the river behind them. Uras watched over his shoulder as he rode, hoping to see one last glimpse of the red river and beyond until the mist had disappeared."I never thought I'd be this far from home," Yelis said when the trees finally obscured both the mist and the river. “It's so sad that we'll never be able to see our little farm home again,” said David nervously. "Even the black rider can't chase us forever, can he?" said Yelis, imploring a plea.Tumaris steered his horse's head towards Uras' horse. “And you, Uras, do you want to go home?” Uras was silent for a while, and they continued to ride together at last, “Do you think there is any place left to turn?” Said. Tumaris's face

    Pasina Two nights later, as the fire was burning, Elendiz licked the last bits of cheese off his fingers and said, "You know, I think we lost them for good." Uras took one last look around, She was half asleep by her pipe. Yeliz, who poked the embers idly with a stick, answered. "If we've lost them, why does Uras keep exploring?" Yelis had now learned the names of everyone in the group, and the stories of the Ice people. David was almost asleep, rolled over with his back to the fire.“We lost them in the Red river,” Tumaris said, her fingers clasped behind her head, leaning back looking at the moon-filled sky.Abigial said, “Stop worrying about the black cavalry and the like.” Tumaris continued speaking as though he hadn't spoken, “We're going where the stories come from. How do you think Kars is, The haunted forest and the mountain beyond it?” Tumaris said, looking sleepy. The city and Guva have always been hospitable. I went there once a long time ago, but the Uncanny forest is sai

    "And you, Yelis?" said Mextumsila. "What do you think of Pasina?" “I think it's a long way from home,” said Yelis, a sharp laugh rising from Elendiz. It was Ewin, David, and Abigial glances. Fate had already made its choice for her. Mextumsila continued. “I don't want you to think we're out of danger, danger starts again here. Be careful what you say inside the city walls. First of all, you mustn't mention the Black cavalry. This has never been a side-taking city, since the fall all members of the Ice people have agreed. It is said that the Ice people settled here before Ergekon. Here, Tonka's followers are little liked. You must not forget that,” he said. Elendiz gasped and Uras muttered in a low voice. Tumaris turned pale, but Mextumsila calmly continued. "We should get as little attention as possible." "We're not going to use our own names here," he continued. “I am known here as “Ayda” and you will have to come up with new names for yourself,” he said. “We must enter the city befo

    Ewin was nervous at the man's words, but she thought she should hide it. Terraria returned to her tub and continued to rub life into her body. Luckily the man didn't get too caddy about this situation and he kept talking. "I've been serving in Pasina for a long time and I'm getting used to some things here," he said. He nodded to the sword of Uras. “Too much to recognize a burket sword…” he said. Ewin Olson was a little relieved. “Ñarq,” he said, “I heard them walking around.” David, Uras, and Esin looked at each other. Finally relaxed, Elendiz chuckled, “The Ñarq?” He had a boyish glee, and when he threw water at Uras, Uras didn't neglect to give him a stern look. But still, Elendiz didn't seem to stop Elendiz. I'm tired of everyone telling so little about everything," he said.They all looked at Elendiz as if he had gone mad. Fortunately, Ewin's earlier nervousness had dissipated and he was in good spirits. “Hmm, yes Ñ Arqs, I was going to mention them,” he paused and leaned her bac

    Uras stumbled across the corridor and slammed the door there open. He turned and grabbed the doorknob to keep from falling to the floor, and found himself staring wide-eyed into a stone room with an impossible sky through the arches leading to the balcony and fireplace. This time there was no corridor. He froze, half crouching near the polished table, and looked at the man by the fireplace, straightening up. He heard the door closing behind him. "Who are you, stay away from me!" he shouted, his voice hitting the stone wall back. Uras jumped a little this time, but managed not to shout. .Without taking his eyes off the man before him, he stepped back to the door and tried the lever. He didn't move; the door was locked. "You look thirsty," said the man by the fire.There was a glass on the table, and he handed her a glass. "I'm a little bit," he said hesitantly, taking the glass. The man leaned forward carefully, one hand on the back of the chair, watching her. He just held the cup in h

    The sunlight hitting his narrow bed finally woke Uras from his deep but restless sleep. Although he remembered bit by bit what happened last night, he couldn't remember how he got here. Sighing, she tossed the pillow aside and sat up with a grimace as she stretched. Her head still aches. This did not surprise him. After what had happened last night, this was quite normal. Uras looked at the other beds and saw that they were empty. Sunlight flooded the room through the window. He jumped out of bed muttering to himself angrily. Quickly washed and dressed, Bürkut hesitated for a moment about the sword. She had left saddlebags and blanket rolls in the room. Uras wielded his sword. He went down the stairs two at a time and into the kitchen. He wanted to know what was going on.When he went down to the kitchen, the innkeeper was in the kitchen, facing a plump woman whose arms were covered with flour up to her elbows, a woman who was obviously a cook. Everyone in the kitchen seemed busy with

    When Akjan finished his story, Ewin's horse suddenly neighed in fear and began to jerk to free his reins. David stood up slightly as shapes appeared around them in the darkening forest. The horse reared and twisted, screaming.“Silence the horse,” Akjan said. "They didn't come for him, they won't hurt him, they won't hurt you either." Ewin held up his wand, Akjan said, "It won't be necessary." As if the humans were not there, the horses walked towards the fire and lay down among the humans. In the darkness among the trees, the light of the fire reflected from the eyes of more wolves on all sides. As Ewin raised his wand, Akjan said, "I wouldn't do that if I were you, they're friends," Ewin said that the four wolves were looking at him. He lowered his staff. He slowly sat down. David followed suit. The horse had stopped yelling and rearing. Instead, he stood trembling and fidgeting to keep all the wolves in sight, occasionally kicking to show the wolves. The wolves waited comfortably,

    Abigial's horse walked calmly under the weak sun. Uras and Mextumsila were riding right in front of him. He had had little real conversation with her since the next morning, when he found Mextumsila and Uras on the banks of his river. Of course it was talked about, but as far as Abigila saw, it was nothing major. She did not trust Mextumsila and wanted to find David and Yelis, certain that they were alive. Otherwise, Mextumsila wouldn't still be looking for them. She had to keep good relations with Mextumsila unless she had to. The cursed woman said nothing to her! Finding them hadn't even opened his mouth to her people."As I told you," Mextumsila replied, not bothering to turn to look at her, "I would have known if we had gotten closer to them." Abigial had repeatedly asked her if there was a sign. Mextumsila also felt Abigial's gaze on her back. "Will you really know when you get close to them?"“I can know”“What if Yelis is already dead”“I know you are not dead, Girl, Erendiz a

    The next day, Captain, Psefit and Erendiz were chatting among themselves. Erendiz was telling Psefit about the mischief he did in Karagöl. The captain looked at him slyly. "You're already thinking of home, young man, and are you new to the world? What will you find when you get home?" Erendiz was startled. How long had it been since he thought about his house and Karagöl? What about his mother? Days passed. It felt like months to Erendiz. "I will go home one day, I don't know when I can do it. But I will return home. Then I'll find my mother there, we'll forget that all this even existed” Psefit “Isn't this all for going home? Real and” Erendiz, with a visible effort, moved away from looking up the river after the disappearing rocks. “What? Ah. Yes, of course. We'll go home. Of course. To the real home…” As Erendiz turned to go, Psefit heard him mutter softly.During the four days of their journey down the river, Erendiz found himself sitting on the blunt end atop the mast, his legs wr

    On the Raft

    Yelis was shaken and opened his eyes. A dark, pale light faded slightly. He didn't move anything except his eyes, barely breathing. A coarse woolen blanket covered him up to his shoulders, and his head was in his arms. He could feel the smooth wooden planks under his hands. The deck gnashed like the teeth of a monster that wanted to eat him. He took a long breath. The wind was blowing strong, inflating the sails of the raft like a balloon. The raft was moving silently through the dark waters. “There is no rock to be afraid of, there are many shallow areas where the raft can land,” said the captain. However, they did not approach the shore for days, neither during the day nor at night. Sometimes the wind blew from the opposite direction. They traveled for two days, bouncing with every jolt of the raft. At the end of the second day, the impact of the attack on the ruined city and forest began to wane. The captain spoke to them about the dangers of stepping on land in the dark and of run

    The man opened one eye and stared at David's hiding place. “You and your friend can sit down and have a snack.” David hesitated, then stood up slowly, clutching his knife tightly. “Are you going to invite him in, or are you planning to eat the whole rabbit yourself?” said the manDavid raised his voice. "Ewin! No problem!" He stretched out his hand and added in a more normal tone: “My name is David and my friend's is Ewin.” He paused before the man said his name. “My name is Akjan. I come from the North, from beyond Mount Elbrus.” Ewin cautiously emerged on his horse.He tied the mare's reins to one of the smaller branches of the oak, and David introduced her to Akjan. “It is surprising to see one of the Abzka people this far south,” Ewin said. " Mine. It's amazing to see some of the Kutsk people in it this far north,” he said, looking at David as he said this. “And encountering a false witch,” the man was still quite kind. David's eyes were constantly on the rabbit in the fire. When

    David and Ewin

    In a small tree grove, David slumped in the dark among the tree branches. The needles that pricked his body pulled him out from the depths of his dreams. When he opened his eyes, there were sweet-smelling branches woven over his face. Sunlight was filtering in through the gaps. He looked at her, not knowing where she was. Most of the branches fell as he stood up in surprise, but some casually hung from his shoulders or even his head, making it look like a tree. The memories came back quickly. Abigial had lost him in the fog. Out of breath, he frantically emerged among the piles of tree branches. Holding his breath, he looked around carefully. Nothing moved. The morning was cold and still. He took a deep, calming breath. The small evergreen woods that surrounded him were the first refuge he had found last night. It was sparse enough to offer little protection from the eyes that followed him when he stood up. He ripped branches off him head and shoulders, pushing the rest of her thorny

    Family

    Family As the sun was rising along the river, Abigial was leaning against the trunk of a young oak tree, eyes closed. Her horse was resting with his legs spread wide. Abigial had her reins around her wrist. When the first rays of the sun fell on the horse's eyelids, the animal opened its eyes and, pulling the reins, raised its head. Abigial awoke with a start. For a moment she couldn't see where she was and looked around. When he realized where he was, he looked around frantically. He untied the reins and stood up. He climbed out of the hole he was in and twinned the surroundings. Realizing that no one was there, she stood up, dead leaves rustled. Between her and the river were no more than a few trees. Cracked bark and bare branches made them look bare. Beyond her, vast blue-green waters flowed. There was nothing, just empty. On the far shore clumps of green willows and firs lay scattered. Abigial looked like there were more trees around him. She thought the others might be anywher

    Jerzac

    Jerzac“You must be from Karagol,” Psefit told Tumaris. “Yes,” Tumaris said simply.“The Yilbes have done this before, I've seen them go after the Bürkut sword many times, but they never cooperated with the Jerzacs.” “Everyone sees and hears things for the first time,” Tumaris shrugged. Erendiz “What do you think happened to Uras, could they have caught him?”"Uras should be the last thing we should worry about," said Tumaris, "I hope he can take care of himself," muttered. Yelis said, “I understood the story of the Yilbes. Turkin has slain a dragon, and some kind of magical sword is a brute sword, But what are Jerzacs?” Erendiz was excitedly thrown. “Do you think the weapons here are man-made weapons, these weapons are special weapons, an ordinary Ice people person cannot kill these creatures with a casual weapon. Ordinary weapons are for ice folk only,” he said. Elise rubbed her head. “This world is more complex than I thought,” he said. Erendiz grinned. “Even so, I'd like to hear t

    Savior

    Yelis fell to the ground when the arrow released Jerzac to the ground. Psefit agilely jumped off his horse and mounted Yelis back on his horse. Tumaris rode beside them on his horse. “Drive towards the river,” he said. Their horses rummaged through the trees. Jerzac and the Yilbes followed as they ran towards the River. They bent their horses to avoid the Jerzacs' whips. Tumaris on his horse continued to shoot back, looking over his shoulder. Yelis's face was almost buried in his horse's mane.Tumaris managed to hit three Jerzacs and one Yilbe behind them. Yelis and Erendiz looked at him, Tumaris smiled and muttered, "Not my best shots." Tumaris did not return to retrieve his arrows. “More will come. I hope the river isn't too far away." Instead of saying what else he hoped for, he nodded and set off at a rapid gallop. Erendiz and Uras went behind him.Soon they came to a low, undulating shore among the trees. Tumaris could not see the other side at all. He didn't like the idea of ​​c
