THE PAST

– Certainly, in reasonable limits. For example, it is necessary to get rid of pirates. Well will suffice for today. Midday. I need to do some measurements, and then we will have dinner. Consider, that you did not live still, time did not try some my beer.
Byzantines, spoke Hejvig, were full of superstitions. The magic, guessings, amulets from an evil eye, omens, bewitching potions … Xenia took a great interest in an astrology. Naturally, its hobby was harmless, it made horoscopes, interpreting them how it seemed to it interesting. At often nights they together went to observe stars. About My God as it was fine in a moonlight! He constantly struggled with a temptation to present it a telescope. At least the small. But it was too risky.
– You will be. I the person patient. But I will not allow you and further to destroy that is created by me. I have left to you a life only because I hope, you compensate that harm which has put to our business. For example, you well are guided in second half of twentieth century. And you there have money. It can appear useful to us.
The Krasitsky has fulfilled the promise and has made Xenia's prick, but has made ineptly, and she has screamed from a pain.
Hejvig has been surprised by the determination. More and more he felt, that simply meets half-way the inevitable. Conscience already tired to torment him and has shown the ultimatum. And, despite danger, it has felt for the first time the world and rest in the soul.
– Truly! Aton searched for infinite treasure, a blue pomegranate, and has found a salamander. In the same way he all life searched for a charming siren – or, say, valkiriju – minonetku, but searches have resulted it here, in the underground world. A siren, valkirija, minonetka: all is roads to death. Such is all his life.
At last they have reached to navetrennogo woods. Everywhere from a ceiling stalactites hanged down, incorporating with the stalagmites rising upwards, as columns. Many of them vertical were not: the constant wind rejected a dripping liquid, inclined stone sculptures turned out also. At times, after centuries, natural forces changed a wind direction, compelling these constructions to be bent in other party, and the increased number navetrennyh columns braked air currents that affected the form of columns leeward. Slow growth gave way to aeration. As a result at stalactites randomly hanging down branches, and at stalagmites – fancifully twirled roots grew. Colours were the most different: shone blue and pink strips, narosshy a green moss. Arlo saw before itself original annals of caves: the luminescence not always was here green, and in expanding columns its ancient versions have remained.

– We can enjoy a life together with you, not having thought that will occur or should occur. – she attentively looked at it. Are we with you we can make. We will find to ourselves a secluded place for habitation … After all we are not going to live in Eerii?
Hejvig has started a hand under tuniku and it was scratched. He has stupidly thought: «the Drama has turned to a comedy. I who have lost the wife, the favourite wife, am in a captivity, I expect torture. It is even not allowed to me to be washed up, so at me all body is scratched and from me badly smells».
Hejvig has returned back and began to move gradually to the future, from ti me to time passing in normal time. Thus it has reached until when francs entered into a city. Also has seen murders, robberies, destructions, has seen the gangsters sated with murders, the adjusting captives loaded with extraction. He knew, that cannot change not the past, the future, but it should take that is necessary for it from the past.

Arlo happened in vicinities of a labyrinth and knew, that it two-dimensional. The body of a dragon was such heavy, that at falling it would be crushed by a body weight, therefore he preferred not to get upward. So old man Bedokur spoke: and it understood habits of animals.
Arlo has quickly estimated the possibilities. It is possible to throw it in the river, to alloy to the nearest kitomeduze. Kitomeduza the average sizes it is capable to swallow in some hours a skeleton. But the Hell it was still live and, despite troubles which it to it delivered, he did not want, that she has died. Not including adults, friends at it never was. Now he has understood, how they did not suffice it.
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:

This city drew to itself people from different parts of the world, and two more strangers could not involve in themselves special attention. Yes, Sansisko was Mecca pilgrims: after all well-known guru Duago Samito here did the revelations. Nobody trusted in miracles, but people believed that if to rise on high hills over a city, to merge with the sky over a head and the sea underfoot, special gift of internal vision can visit you.
The hunter, shamanka, the prophet, the mistress of many and the murderer of many … and here it before me, dressed in the most ordinary clothes: a fashionable suit, nylon stockings, shoes on high heels, in hands a handbag, on lips usual lipstick, also speaks it in English, absolutely not not differing from mine.
– Means, it is similar to drugs. The person voluntary accepts a chemical compound which enslaves its brain.

Hejvig did not participate in actions of agents. It and so has much made also much saw. And that he saw, was awful. Therefore it was transferred to the past and there cried, recession, came to the senses, gained strength for the future.
– Everything what you require now, sir, it in good rest. You need to have a rest properly. I can offer interesting places.
They have moved for some days. The door in the chamber has not been locked. They have come downstairs, have passed through a court yard and left in gate which at that time were always open. Soon they were in wood and began to move to the past, stopping for rest only at night.
Sounds of steps on a stone floor were boomingly distributed in silence. They quickly rose on dark and dusty spiraleobraznoj to a ladder. Guttierez and Belyavsky remained below to protect a front entrance and the lift. Indhlovu and CHao have started to search the second and third floors to find out apartments of secretary Uollisa. And Hejvig was already on a following floor before the upholstered copper a door in apartments Uollisa.
They stood on a high ridge. Uncountable stars have been scattered in the sky from one horizon to another. Meteors drew the sky. Air was cold, at breath steam clouds were formed. Leonsa has nestled to Hejvigu. The eternal silence of space surrounded them.
