naturally concerned duels and the well-known battles.
"Three hand? As it - cannot be! - Gorkun was indignant with forced
mistrust of the grandma. - Yes I saw at a fair, years... wait a moment... yes, years
fifteen back. Who? Directly I do not remember! Smith Mezhamir
Bullfinch!."
Two days later Elen Gluzdovna with the nurse together invented for the old woman
pretext to visit the street of smiths. The master Udacha in detail discussed with
Haygal a form and decoration of a new zone knife and directly blossomed, having found
in the grandma of the true expert on good blades. In a conversation names started gleaming
the glorified swords and their great creators. The old woman accidentally mentioned
Mezhamir Snegir, and Good luck sighed.
"Kind there was a master, it is a pity for him... Why? So he married in a sort
Gray Dog, itself you know how at them it is accepted. And with Grey Dogs then
you remember what was?. To guilty say but only that made a good deed,
who burned the Cannibal in the lock..."
Wolfhound, Wolfhound... Knesinka looked at the last Grey Dog,
not movably and silently sitting beside it, also knew that it will not leave anywhere.
For now it with it, it was in safety. It moved so that
knees felt heat of his body. And gradually dozed off.
I saw anything and thought that I know how to live.
But explained to me: not that I prayed to Gods.
I had to put life on good and love,
And I preferred to exchange for vengeance to enemies.
It will be rendered to enemies, I was told. Not you, so another
Over them will make a sentence of fair destiny.
And you to someone would help to say goodbye to melancholy,
And about a grief to forget forever hope to behold.
You are guilty, told, you gold did not read books.
You only to battle one surpassed science.
When Kindness sets in on this earth,
Such as you, will not sit for a holiday table.
Than to break the Evil, I was told, you are better to protect
Freedoms and the truths of a particle in soul learn...
But those on whom I lifted the vindictive sword,
Will not ruin anybody's defenseless life any more.
I will look from far away at a feast of wise men.
Feast of the righteous souls which are not dirtied by black fault.
And that I will be happy as, in the end of the ends,
There will gather saved by me once.
12. 12. SONG OF HOPE
The little army moved forward on Staraya Road again. In an integrity
the one and only vehicle - generally thanks to the fact that remained
маронг really did not burn. Fire greedy licked carved reddish
sides, but could not catch them. Now in the vehicle, on
to the indisputable order of a knesinka, arranged wounded. Dowry, that
part that managed to be saved, overloaded on horses. Be around
still, as to Klyuchinka, the friendly country, crippled quite
it would be possible to leave in any roadside village. To people of a knesinka everywhere
with pleasure would provide both leaving, and protection. And on a winter way in most
Galirad would bring. Here, for Sivur, on friendship of locals
it was not necessary to hope.
If they in general were here - inhabitants. Sovereign Gluzd, recently
traveling to Velimor, both there and back passed on Novaya Road. And
local places further Kayeransky bogs did not get Ertan,
even her grandfather. The warrior managed to remember only vague rumors about
the forest tribes which seemingly had to meadow velkha distant relatives.
Only relationship it, according to her, was such is that very few people would become it
to be proud. Prick the forest clan which chose a quiet privacy of green
krepy, earned an unenviable nickname "marsh", a local folk,
if, of course, it truly was a sprout from a velkhsky root, would follow
to call the most tender boggy. Another matter, Ertan did not want on
whom in vain to slander and in vain to find fault with those whom never in eyes
saw.
The warrior spoke slowly, almost without opening eyes and continually
stopping to take rest. Illad did not advise it at all to talk,
but she did not listen. She reclined in the vehicle, grabbed across a breast
wide bandage. As carefully governed a horse old Haygal, time from
time the wheel inevitably ran into a stone or got to a pothole.
Then Ertan silently turned gray, gritting teeth. Wounded men time from
time mildly altercated, arguing whose turn to settle beside
it.
- Perhaps I heard something about the local people too, - spoke
Wolfhound. It preserved Serk hit by robbers and conducted a stallion in
to occasion, the benefit the train already moved with the pedestrian's speed. - From one
the dealer, - continued veins. - Those people left to the road, and he offered them
for sale pots. They only spat: the molding is supposedly not praroditelsky.
The merchant so understood, at them if that it is accepted, so from Light Gods.
He called them haryuka. And those or not that, I do not know.
- Haryuki, - the knesinka thoughtfully responded. - Poe-vennski it, apparently,
means "ugryumia"?
She walked too on foot though the Snowflake in fight did not suffer -
The wolfhound strongly suspected that the knesinka wanted to divide with pedestrian
ratnik of their burden and by that to comply the simple source codes which saved it
life.
As for Luchezar - he did not persuade "sister" to keep any more
closer to a team. He considered himself bitterly and unfairly offended and
in every possible way emphasized the offense. As well as intention still to serve
to knesinka and to protect it, without looking at anything. His people put the camp in
to type of the others, but not nearby. And during transitions kept also:
close, but independently. With mournful advantage for no reason at all
fallen into disgrace. The wolfhound saw that a knesinka the further, the
stronger conscience tormented. In his opinion, absolutely in vain.
There was third or fourth day since they, with honor having buried
fallen, left Kayerana. The midday halt when was already close
knesinka of Elen, suddenly having decided on something, took the bodyguard for
hand also forced to depart from the vehicle that nobody heard.
- All of us were wrong, - having lowered a voice, she told the Wolfhound. -
Luchezar - that persuaded me to go Staraya Road. I - am most,
because obeyed... if did not obey, nobody would die,
so?. - The voice of a knesinka shivered, she tried to speak firmly, but
he saw that Elen Gluzdovna was ready to begin to cry. - And you were
he is wrong, - it continued. - In vain you hit Luchezar. Why you so not
you love it? Well, a habit at it not honey, but... He is a relative to me...
The wolfhound drearily looked around and answered nothing. And that here
to answer.
- You are silent, - the knesinka sighed. - I here recognize that in vain here
went... - And angrily threw up on it eyes. - The truth is told about you:
it is dexterous to fight, and you think that circle of the rights!
- I did not beat the boyar, madam, - the Wolfhound gloomy told.
- And I did not see that! Ven
n nodded:
- Did not see, madam.
Knesinka was silent some time, biting a lip, and the Wolfhound prayed
about itself that it stopped this a conversation, burdensome for it. But on
The eye of Gods just ran a white cloudlet, and, probably, therefore it
the prayer and was gone for nothing.
- Spoke to me, - again there began a girl, - that you never addressed
to the boyar, only through someone. Yes I and not the deaf. You veins: means,
all this not just like that. You began to quarrel at once as soon as I you
employed. Both of you to me serve, I have to trust both of you... and you to eat
each other are ready. Why?
Mentally the Wolfhound swore, and aloud told:
- You should not speak about it, madam. It cut off:
- Costs! I then chose not it though it to me and the relative!
I have to know at least after that that at you on mind?
"The monarchess, - the Wolfhound could tell a knesinka. - Me all
yours - heroes and boyars how many they are, on a pervost to swallow were glad.
Only Right when understood that I instead of a dog at you, forgave all to me.
And Left even more from a skin got that to destroy me. Kanaon and Plishka,
the ukhorez, in bodyguards married off... Why? Not the fool
was born?. When were transported through Sibur, to me slightly did not gnaw a throat,
that on the first ferry to send you. To tell you, a knesinka whom
velimorets on that coast under an ushchuchila fir-tree?. And Staraya Road? Found
the time against evil spirits to be executed, carrying the sister to the groom. And when those
got where his good fellows got to, I would like to know? Whether there is not a bit too much,
madam? And now itself think: who in Galirada the first bride later
you? Well, if with you... - fie, fie, fie!-... whom with Ayudoyedovm
the sonny in a trice will twist that did not harbor malice?. Correctly:
Varushku-krasavitsu, Auchezara Luginich's light sister stupid..."
Here how many any miscellaneous the Wolfhound could throw out to a knesinka. Quite
perhaps, saving thereby itself and it from a set of the evils. It is easier for Venn
would be to bite off to himself language. He told only:
- I to guard you here, madam. But not to inform about relatives.
The breeze moved his hair which it just for the first time braided
after battle by a usual order.
Knesinka understood that she will not squeeze out of it more words. Also drooped,
nearly having burst into tears from powerless disappointment. In seventeen years it
was able to talk at the bargaining to the shumlivy galiradsky people and to convince
the sivogrivy stubborn husbands who were suiting it for grandfathers. With one Wolfhound at it
it turned out in accuracy on a saying about the braid which found on a stone. With that
essential difference that to death all its suite was afraid of "stone" of it.
Who in opened, who secretly. The knesinka managed to understand: if veins accepted
the decision to persuade it it is useless. To order - too. And sometimes and
to ask why so, but not so. Here would also solve, from some nursery
offense the knesinka suddenly thought. Once and for all. For and for me. For
us is two. So what do you do not want...
Coming back together with it to the vehicle, the Wolfhound paid attention on
the horse adolescent, a bystry lynx of the wagon train jumping from the head. Except
Luchezarovichey tops went only patrol who were sent in the parties
and forward. The wolfhound noted how at once brothers pricked up the ears, selected
Dashing. Their business young, passion there is a wish a knesinka though from something, and
to protect. He was not too disturbed, having taken away patrol. It be found on
to the road something truly dangerous, the young soldier, it is necessary to think, otherwise
would bear a bad message. The wolfhound saw how turned to him gradually
the stamping ratnik, asked about something. The young man in reply waved a hand,
calmed. Ratniki shortened a stride.
Having driven up to the vehicle, the adolescent came off down to the ground and came nearer, conducting red
horse in an occasion.
- The monarchess, - he bowed to a knesinka. - Forgive, the monarchess, the people
local sent three husbands to the road. They say, want to say the word with
you.
- What for people? - asked Elen Gluzdovn. Redenky silk grid
again waved before her face, pressed by a silver nimbus. - As
look? You saw them?
- Speak as velkh, the monarchess, - the young man replied and added,
having thought: - as east. Though not absolutely. And persons like a velkha,
only...
He shrugged shoulders and perplexed became silent, having despaired to express in words
strange feeling which was cast over it by forest men.
- All right, - the knesinka nodded. - Tell that foremen gathered here,
and let will bring those people. The adolescent shifted from one foot to the other;
- They with weapon, the monarchess. You order to select?
- To select nothing, - the wise girl disposed at once. - We
here too with weapon. It is not necessary that they took offense.
The wolfhound, of course, told nothing, but about himself approved it. Once
still houses (so he, to own surprise, thought of Galirada now) it
incidentally heard as Evrikh spoke to Tilorn: "Than the savage is more primitive,
it is easier for that to offend". It then took these words personally and very
it was offended, but did not show because did not put to discuss
intended not to you. Only having waited for full two weeks, he asked at
Tilorna, that meant "primitive". That explained. Now he remembered
the abstruse word also thought how it was silly to take offense then. It is necessary to be born
the complete fool or haughty solvenn, to consider venn
undeveloped and simple, as toporishche. Another matter of a haryuka. If only
it indeed were they. What to take from the tribe which already kind
two hundred years did not show a nose from native thickets and very few people let in from the outside.
It only in fairy tales wise men live in the locked towers where they is not present to the course
to the mortal person. In life - шиш, it will not turn out.
And that sensitive savages to whom the noble knesinka kept
weapon, did not turn it against it, - on that and were fed beside it
three bodyguards...
Beautiful folding chair which purposely for such cases carried with
itself madam, burned down together with a tent. The leather box was put to use
Illada: the doctor only moaned, having a presentiment that the medicines stored there
now it will be necessary for somebody from hurting.
- Nothing, I will get up, - the knesinka assured. - What importance.
Vividly threw with the beautiful embroidered cover a box. Knesinka took seat,
servants laid the correct folds her white, furred raincoat and
rose properly behind and on each side. It is small - Ghosn and Aptakhar appeared in time
run, Deksha appeared a bit later - could not run because of a wound. The person at it
and so was green. Illad rummaged in a chubby zone burse now and
enclosed to it in a hand a small yellow pea. Deksha sent a pea in
mouth and, being bent from bitter taste, he is grateful blinked to the doctor
. To nod was
painfully.
Left - wounded advantage - did not come absolutely though he was called.
Forest guests seemed almost at once as soon as were ended
fussy preparations. Three men, all low and thickset, in
clothes from fur and the thick cloth painted by a genista and an orach in
different shades of yellow and red color. All three seemed to the Wolfhound
similar among themselves, as brothers. Or the father with sons. It is tenacious
getting accustomed, he noted about himself the low foreheads, heavy jaws noticeable
even through beards, and gloomy expression of eyes. It happens at the person,
which endeavors to comprehend something obviously inaccessible to his understanding. Well as
there are haryuk, the Wolfhound defined about himself. Ugryumtsa. If yet not
it was found out that they generations marry sisters. On
cousin - for sure!
Meanwhile forest messengers stopped before a knesinka and bent
knee. Those that went on each side fell by both, the fact that in the middle -
on one. The wolfhound looked narrowly at him. It had a raincoat from inexpensive
furs - medvedina, - but as it is cut out! The skin from the head of an animal served
and almost covered with a hood a face, the skin from paws dressed hands and legs, and all
traces of cuts and seams were so skillfully hided that their eye not
distinguished. A sacred attire which the ancestor animal allowed to carry only
to the senior among the descendants. And that not every day, - only in special
the cases demanding praroditelsky supervision.
Kneeling ugryumets kept mum, expecting that young
the ruler addressed them, and it did not begin to weary them.
- On a zdorova to you, kind people, under a shelter of this wood, - she told
in language of east velkh. - I will not begin to torture who are that. We here
guests are passable, and you are owners, to you and to ask, and to us to answer.
I will tell only about what is visible at once: people you worthy and strong sort,
sorts of Beauty of the Woods... - Here she significantly ran all over eyes bear
raincoat standing in the middle. - Whether it happens to the page which came into yours
