chain armors supposedly day and night did not get out. Even slept in it!
Knesinka silently rose and was behind a door curtain. Haygal
immediately installed a pillow on that place where she just sat, and
hurried after the hostess.
- You too... - addressing Ertan, the Wolfhound advised. -
Chain armor. You never know...
The warrior threw up the head and in an emphasis, almost hostilely looked on
vein.
- I never put on armor, - she uttered separately.
The wolfhound on the century saw anything. Including soldiers,
despising an armor. And even such that went into battle in primitive nakedness,
beloved Bogami. He did not begin to argue with Ertan, believing that it is all the same
it is useless. Only shrugged shoulders and muttered:
- There was a hunting... from a casual arrow...
Ertan it is suddenly tenacious grasped him by a shoulder, and he noted about himself what
hands, strong at it. Gray eyes became ruthless, reduced lips in
one line:
- You what, you think, I such the girl? It seems?. - It shook the head
towards a tent where the knesinka disappeared. - I am twenty eight years old,
Wolfhound! I was in fight at Three Hills and saw how my groom died.
He died at me on hands. He waits for me there together to go to
To Trekhrogy, on the island Oylen Ul. There, it, has no time, but what
to me? Casual arrow!. Ha! Yes I the one who in it released, in good time
I will kiss!.
From violet twilight, accompanied with Kanaon and Plishka, arose
Luchezar.
- It that else for a sit-round gathering? - it was now filled on youth. -
My sister of servants undertook to touch? So here honor a knesova is protected!
And well, to spirit that yours...
Guys were confused, began to look back at the Wolfhound. Venn under any
look was not going to release them. He managed to think that final
sshibk, it is visible not to pass any more. And who knows, and fights with two
strappers.
But here from the leather box Illad gave a vote.
- For the sake of the Lunar Sky, you would not rustle, Luchezar, - annoyancely
halisunets frowned. - Madam a knesinka rejoiced, looking at them. It
to them allowed to come.
It was the real truth; wise Illad held back only that
permission to good fellows was obtained by the Wolfhound. The doctor using the father and
the monarchess's mother, could not fear seigniorial disgrace. As well as
fists of Luchezarovy confidants.
- Correctly, - leaving a tent, the knesinka of Elen told. - I
allowed. Let my girls will have fun.
She truly put on a chain armor under suite so armor was imperceptible.
The wolfhound and that guessed it only on slightly constrained movements
knesinka. Having fastened on itself a quarter of pood of iron, the person nevertheless moves
otherwise.
- A-and, here is how, - stretched Left. - Well, let have fun... Quiet
nights, sister.
And the boyar went back to the getting denser darkness, and the Wolfhound remained
to deliberate whether was in what his words of the hidden sense.
Gradually смерклось absolutely, and in the sky poured out stars. Was just
new moon: night promised to be dark. The wolfhound roamed around a tent
knesinka, muffling up in a raincoat. After a decline wind rose. Not especially
strong, it nevertheless started ice feelers under clothes and to sit
on one place it was simply cold.
Having seen off happy and uneasy girls to sleep, young segvana,
as well as it was persuaded, did not go away. They burned down a fire, cooked in a kettle
cut apples with honey also exchanged words in a low voice not to wake
madam. They were the whole ten there, and the Wolfhound left with times on
stony hillock to look at the swamp. The person with usual sight
it is unlikely would distinguish in that party the earth from the sky. The wolfhound distinguished
water, border of the canes shaking and rustling on wind and floating
islands. Mysh rushed somewhere with the relatives who did not fall yet in
hibernation. To Venn without him it was slightly uncomfortable.
It long stood, listening to rustle and a whistling of wind, then returned to
to fire. When he got out to a hillock again, looked afar and
saw that floating islands became more. And they moved,
having approached the coast.
Meanwhile as wind distinctly pulled from the coast away...
The wolfhound hardly managed to realize it, as on a shoulder to him with heart-rending
shouts Mysh fell down. Having seized raincoat suede, the black small animal was accepted
to click teeth, to hiss and it is disturbing to wave wings.
Precisely as in the spring on the forest road, before attack of gang
Zhadoba...
Straining sight, the Wolfhound looked narrowly at the closest of floating
islands. Heart in a breast already beat more often usual, and he knew that
then, very much can be, will begin to reproach himself with delay. But that, if
islands are moved by an unknown current, and to Mysh simply combed withers
leisure forest male?.
Absolutely near them several night flyers truly rushed.
The wolfhound could swear: they shouted to Mysh something intelligent. Floating
the island looked the most usual lump of peat, snags and bound
roots. On it bushes and even two small trees grew. But here from under
bush the short oar leaned out and carefully directed "island" even closer
to the coast...
The wolfhound put fingers in a mouth and whistled with all the might lungs.
Disturbing, iridescent whistle was for certain heard from the end in the end
the camp, and that even in a sanctuary where brave velkh sat down. Wolfhound
whistled once again, sharply and shortly. It was the signal, well-known
To Serk: to escape after other horses. Itself of veins turned also in
all move, jumping through bushes and dead wood, rushed to a knesinka tent.
Segvansky ratnik were already standing, and Likhobor just dived inside
tent to remove outside of servants and madam. A wolfhound without
delay directed after it. A tent, in accuracy as that
the velkhsky house, was partitioned off in two by the embroidered curtains. Without standing on ceremony,
The wolfhound cast away them aside:
- It is necessary to leave rather, madam.
Knesinka, as he also asked, lay dressed and in a chain armor. To a wolfhound not
time was necessary to be convinced of her courage, but now the girl,
it seemed, at the same time overcame all fears nesting in soul from the date of
attempts. Eyes at it were rounded, from a face paint rushed back. It began
to rise. Very slowly, as in a bad dream. The wolfhound bent down,
put it on legs and dragged outside. Elen Gluzdovna convulsively
grabbed his hand.
Outside young people already ran away up the hill, dragging off
the frightened servants. At once two good fellows, quietly swearing through clenched teeth,
rushed under hands of the doctor Illad, the third bore his box. Vanish dresses and
silver - drugs could not be thrown. A wolfhound was late thought about
the fact that put nobody to take care of the knesinka dowry lying
in vehicles. Well an
d the clown with it, with a dowry. His care - life of madam.
From darkness the arrow took off, passed the head of a knesinka and was thrust in
I will take a nap. The wolfhound instantly jumped aside away, carrying away the girl far away from
fire with its treacherous light. Having brought down from legs, it pressed it to the earth,
closing itself. And only then realized that attackers whoever they
were, were greatly quick. That island - is more right, the boat or a raft,
twined from above branches and a cane, - yet could not get ready to stick to the coast.
Means, someone was selected the land. Was selected skillfully and it is reserved, whether not
having disturbed karaulshchik, whether without noise having cut with it drinks. But if
so, from what party?.
It was necessary to hope for Aptakhar and his Sagittariuses promising to cover
retreat.
- Now we will run, madam, - the Wolfhound told. Servants peeped somewhere
in the wood, without understanding what occurs. They tried to escape from strong
hands of young ratnik also called the madam as though she could them
to protect.
Invisible in the dark, it is disturbing the horse began to neigh. Mysh turning in
air over the heads, it was immediately thrown in that party and completely disappeared, and
the knesinka rose on an elbow:
- Snowflake!.
The wolfhound forced it to sprawl in a grass now again, and very
in time. Directly over them, a bottom, provizzhat several arrows at once. Venn
looked back to a tent and saw that dense fabric was made a hole already in
set of places. Judging by an arrangement of holes, marked in lying and as
time in that half where the knesinka was located. If the Wolfhound did not keep up
to drag out it outside, also the chain armor would hardly save.
Пластаясь in a grass, to them Likhoslav crept up. It pulled along the nurse.
The old woman sprained a leg and could not go not that to run. It at once
stretched to a knesinka:
- Baby! Live...
- You will incur, Likhoslav, - told veins. Haygal waved hands:
- I somehow... preserve the girl!
- So, all for me, - shortly ordered veins. - Keep more strong,
madam.
Having squeezed her wrist in a palm, it jumped on legs and at full speed
rushed off upward. Brothers Dashing surely followed, knowing that them
the mentor зряч in the dark and the road will not confuse. They managed to run off hardly
on thirty steps when behind the beginning cheerfully to inflame a high flame.
The arrows wound by the smoldering tow got to a tent of a knesinka.
- Do not look back, madam, - the Wolfhound ordered.
... This mad run under arrows through the night wood to a knesinka of Elen
it was fated to remember until the end of its days. How many time, trying though
to mentally imitate mother, she imagined herself the warrior in feathery
a helmet and brilliant armor, skillful, unshakable in battle and, of course
fearless!. It is good to be fearless when nobody frightens. To it
the dream in which she did not throw the Wolfhound dreamed, and she dreamed that
also it will be actually also brave. Kindly! It and enemy still
personally did not manage to uvidat, only heard as sing bystry near an ear
the arrows which are released on her soul. And everything, also fell a cropper in heels сердчишко, and
helplessly knees became soft. Knesinka stumbled nearly continually,
endlessly stumbled, fell in some potholes through which
The wolfhound flew precisely on a smooth path. She almost saw nothing
before, half because of darkness, half for fear. But everyone
time when it already rushed to the earth the person, an iron hand of the bodyguard
hitched up it on legs, without allowing to fall.
Only much later, turning over in the mind events of memorable night, a knesinka
understood why at some moment the scared voices of servants,
being distributed on the right, began as though to move away. Wolfhound intentionally
dragged it upward in other way, not that which all others ran.
Something is heavy, at once, hit it in a right shoulder-blade. Knesinka gasped
from surprise and pain, it posunutsya once again head over heels down to the ground, in
the next time resisted and continued to run.
The old nurse he is bitter, grateful and powerlessly cried, having clasped
Likhoslava for a strong neck. What would be with it, and, above all, with her girl,
do not happen a number of these three guys? Which it, happened, a broom drove with
the washed porch chorus?.
Knesinka Elen winded by unusual running. She hardly distinguished
the trunks of pines illuminated by a reflection of far fires. And behind everyone
tree the sharp-clawed shadow rushing after seemed. Knesinka
clearly saw red, кроваво the shining eyes, but to die of horror
was simply once. The disheveled hair climbed in eyes: lashed
the branch brushed away about the heads and a silk grid, and a silver nimbus. Chain armor
with each step became more heavy, the face was streamed down by tears and sweat. All the time
it was necessary to clamber up. Knesinka did not know where they run and long
whether still remained, and it was worst of all. It almost hung on a hand
the bodyguard, keeping up with him very much, but there were a few forces. Even
the fear first giving to playfulness legs gradually was replaced by stupid
exhaustion. Knesinka did not know as it when kill, and
therefore thought: better would kill. Now I will fall, fought in consciousness.
Now I will fall and... and all. Also let do with me that want. However time
behind time it had enough mochenka for one step. And still. And still...
Then trees ahead parted, and covered the star sky
some uneven stupid teeth. The wolfhound stopped, a knesinka with dispersal
flew on it and grasped with a free hand not to fall. It
shook from tension and a fright, she understood only here that mad run
took approximately so much time how many it is necessary quietly to drink
to water circle. Two junior bodyguards panted at it behind the back.
Was it seems that on the run they also tried to cover it with the bodies.
One of brothers carried the nurse on hands. Suddenly it became a shame to Knesinke that
she still was not learned to distinguish twins.
- It is small - Ghosn! Aptakhar!. - hoarsely the Wolfhound cried out. - The!.
Its voice was learned. Behind blocks there was a movement, veins stepped forward,
and Elen to Gluzdovna was necessary to climb behind it in some narrow rough crack.
The wolfhound carried out it at once to the western wall of a sanctuary where were carefully
pine branches are put and, covered from a public eye, hot smoldered
heap of coals. Knesinka was taken suddenly by new horror at the thought that will be if it
will release her hand. She looked round and saw what in a stone ring was
fully to the people. Solvenna, a velkha, a segvana efficiently and without excess noise
prepared for fight: put the last of yet not blocked passes,
checked arrows in quivers, examined swords and a spear. Knesinka noticed
even several young people Luchezarovichey, but generally here were
policemen, simple galiradsky host. Not everyone among them it
knew by n
ame. She wanted to blink and wake up strong at home, in
tranquility and silence.
- For the sake of hairy thighs of Tunnvorn! It from where you jumped out? -
discontentedly the suitable Aptakhar asked the Wolfhound. - I you with another
waited for the party. Хегг gobble up your guts, veins, could shoot!
- From where jumped out, from there and all right, - the Wolfhound muttered. - Madam
it is whole, and kindly.
Knesinka sat down on dense fir twigs, on the spread felt body cloth,
made over herself effort and itself unclenched fingers, releasing a hand
bodyguard. It should not the daughter of the leader to show to people the fear.
Someone threw it over shoulders warm, heated by human now
body fur raincoat. Likhoslav approached and seated near it the nurse.
The old woman forced the foamy guy to bend down and strong kissed in
wet forehead:
- Sonny...
From the different parties the servants who decided at a look already ran together
monarchesses to leave the saviors:
- Madam!.
All were here including the doctor Illad with an unseparable box.
As at first sight surprisingly, trusovaty small halisunets
less others were pressed down by the fear which is taking away will. Probably, thought
knesinka, it because it, unlike me, in hands has a business,
and in fight from it there will be a sense.
Among servants there was only no a fun-loving beauty Varya, so
similar to the monarchess. Also the freckled guy to whom it was not visible
charged.
The wolfhound told something to brothers Dashing, those left and returned with
several boards. One was stretched to a knesinka, others distributed to girls.
- What for?. - asked Elen Gluzdovn. Happen to fight, it to them and
was not able to use. The wolfhound answered:
- Will shoot for certain astride, madam, through a wall. You will be covered.
As though having heard these words, almost steeply came on the star sky
the heavy arrow was also thrust directly in a heap of coals. Wolfhound instantly
grabbed a round board and held it over the knesinka head while it it is awkward
passed a hand throughout belts. The board was wooden, fitted by waxed skin and
fettered on edge by iron. It seemed to a knesinka very heavy though on
the business it was not so. Servants, sobbing, writhed on the earth,
