IN THE GARDEN HVEJ

However this day something disturbed me. It was cold, windy. The sun sparkled in the crystal-clear sky. Trees stood scarlet, bronze, yellow, accurately appearing against the sky. I left to walk.
– Ah, – it has exhaled. – here is how they you … Hold. – she has stretched it a small lamp, but Hejvig, with desperately beating heart, could not hold it exactly. Leonsa has sworn, took a small lamp back and, having clamped it in a teeth, began to saw a file a cable.
Not in forces to understand a fight overall picture, Hejvig has got the field-glass. With its help he could learn separate people. Or corpses … yes, Juan Mendoza … and … about My God, Dzherri Jennings whom he hoped to rescue …
There have driven all family, pupils, servants. In the big room it was light, as doors and the windows leaving in a small court yard, a patio, have been opened. Hejvig has seen flower beds, orange trees in dark dense greens, a fountain spraying water … even a bust of Konstantin which an indifferent sight looked at all around. In a room there were numbers cases and tables where there were the works of art created Dukasom and its pupils.

– You know, what most convenient place for carrying out secret hronokineza? You think, a pay phone? No. A toilet room. Very romantically, isn't that so?
Someone has knocked at a door. I have said something muffled, have hardly risen from an armchair and, thinking out pretexts for an apology and refusal, have gone to a door. My mood has not improved, when my dog, hardly not having knocked me down, has rushed to a door. I held this inconsiderate dog only because it once belonged Kejt. Being a puppy when its mistress has died, now it already and itself was close to a tomb.
She spoke in language of the Ancient Earth, instead of on the galactic. Arlo knew it thanking DZL, but in any way did not expect to hear dead language in live lips.
Whether it is valid so the difference between the person and an animal is great, guessed Arlo. Norny, the salamander and doctor Bedokur caused at Arlo certain reactions just as Arlo has caused now reaction in a pseudo-horse. It is not enough one reason to outwit these reactions, differently he would manage to rescue to the Hell, having ignored all distracting circumstances on the way.
Their house was empty in the beginning, but in due course it has been arranged and decorated with taste which she has inherited from the father. From a house roof it was possible to see a bay the Gold Horn and walls and domes of Constantinople on other coast. From such distance it seemed the rich, not plundered city.
This ship was a huge trimaran. From bridge Hejvig looked at the pure wide deck finished with firm grades of a tree. He saw hatches, arrows cargo lebedok, motors, screens of solar batteries. Civilisation Mauri lacked metals, and it was used only in the most extreme cases. Trimaran cabins have been decorated by magnificent tropical colours. On everyone to a ship nose there was a figure cut out from a tree representing of one of the Trinity, – a column from abstract symbols. Founder Tanaroa – in the centre, Jezu Haristi with the cross – at the left, and on the right – the Sir with a teeth of the shark, personifying death and life naywards.

– I have left it in Istanbul when me have seized. I think, that the people, which steels to live in this house, either have thrown out it, or have taken to pieces with curiosity. I have already made to myself new.
– The girl. It is wounded. Dies. Blood. Help, – has spoken Arlo between air drinks.
Having reached a corkscrew (the name occurs from a subject mentioned in DZL: spirals from the metal wire used for vynimanija of stoppers from ancient bottles), it has stopped. There there was a salamander.
This time demanded from them accurate thinking and sober realism. Thanks to me Hejvig has met those scientists about whom I spoke. When he has managed to convince them, they have acquainted him with the colleagues, and at Hejviga the present brain centre which supervised over its actions was formed. Some of these scientists for the sake of Hejviga and its missions even have retired, that has puzzled uninitiated colleagues. From ti me to time I heard something about their successes. They have developed many methods of the introduction into contact to travellers – if to list all these methods, it would be necessary to write one more book. Many of them have not crowned success, but some have worked.
Arlo quickly walked to the centre. The hearing of a monster is adjusted first of all on a removal sound. To noise of approach it is tolerant, as wants, that extraction has got into the centre of a labyrinth and there has lost the way. While Arlo goes firmly and without fear, the dragon hardly will wake up.
When the cable has been cut, it was straightened. On a foot there was a metal ring. It has switched off a small lamp, has put it in a pocket – he has had time to notice, that it in jeans, a jacket, that at it a knife and a pistol.

– Business in that, – as always has precisely explained Hejvig, – that we, I and Leonsa, we leave the Earth. I doubt, that we will return.
Hell all laid on a stone in blood. The body is torn apart, as if at raspotroshennoj kamneteski so interiors are visible even – however is live. Arlo has darted one scared glance and has understood, that will make nothing. The help is necessary to it.
Arlo has occurred suddenly, that last faint was very convenient for the girl who would not like to answer questions. But after all it is indeed wounded, and it did not have a confidence, that he pretends to be. That should be trusted?
– What is necessary? But if the future mankind live under tyranny of the several persons possessing technics? Unless it what is necessary? Also what it is possible to make?
– Jack, you zaboltalsja also has hit in too high matters. Finish the prophecies, the darling, and pay attention to the glass.
But it was not its own fear. Here, keeping balance, he felt in safety. In that safety which in general is possible in caves.

It is possible to carry it in the garden hvej – a secret place about which even parents do not know. A hell has told, that hvei grow only on planet Hveja, but it is a lie. It is possible to help in a garden to it and to feed, while it will come in herself – if it happens. And if is not present – in the river full kitomeduz.
– Look, – he has told. – each of these stars – the sun Really you think, what in the Universe there are no the planets occupied by live beings more?
That minute when Arlo it seemed, that she dies. A hell has calmed down. Eyes have been closed, as if she sleeps. Any time Arlo observed of the girl, but it did not move, and gradually its alarm has receded.
Leonsa has turned to me. She has softly smiled, as though apologising for weakness and vulnerability of its man; that she has told, for it was the simple remark which does not have resolutely any value:
All of them have been dressed equally: dark green parks, the trousers filled in leather boots, helmets, the weapon, a belt with cartridges. He knew these persons better, than the palm. After all it has spent with them many years. Leonsa with wide cheekbones, a convex forehead, sensual lips, which it so often target. CHao, Indhlovu, Guttierez, Belyavsky, Maatuk ibn Pahal. They for an instant have crossed hands and have prepared the weapon as sentries could notice them and give the alarm.
