THE HELP TO THE

– No! – has exclaimed Arlo, having touched to the girl. It all burnt: one more sign. – after all it not the enemy! I have wounded it, I have resulted it here – I should rescue it!
– Hton! – with a pain he has exclaimed, addressing for the help to the friend-god. But Hton still did not answer.
And the dragon already moved, for the present inertly and drowsily, shaking a stone footfall of the feet. Arlo has screamed, as if in fear – a simple problem! – also has run on the spiral tunnel.

I sat in the cottage over the book. Senlak, November, 1969. Night was surprisingly clear and is shrill the cold. Frosty patterns have covered glasses at windows.
– But according to your stories, Jack, my friend, in the future the mankind will refuse a science and will keep only the minimum of technology necessary for maintenance of a life on a planet. People will even more go deep into themselves, in mysticism … I have correctly understood you?
Soon forces have left it, and it has been compelled to sit down, having hung a head a little to come to the senses.
– Hton! – with a pain he has exclaimed, addressing for the help to the friend-god. But Hton still did not answer.
Arlo gauging. A hell! It remained in a garden one, without any protection, and something big and terrible moved to it. He has felt it that part which is adjusted for a life of caves. To this ability has learnt him Hton.

– To alter? You mean, to create our copies? No, certainly. I done not included into the government, but and I read reports on debate, works of our philosophers. The principal cause of destruction of the previous civilisation, machine culture, consisted that, she aspired to make all people similar. Certainly, it not the unique reason, but one that have led the world to accident. – Lohanasso has struck a mighty fist on hand-rail. – oh, damn, Thomas, we need all variety of mankind, variety of shapes, ways of thinking, a way of life!
Arlo has shrugged shoulders. It has picked up the weapon on the earth, and then has hastened on the tunnel to that place where last time saw to the Hell. First of all it is necessary to deduce it from a trap. And at a leisure it is possible to think that meant Hton.
– And so, – has continued Hejvig. – you remember, I told about the psychopreparations invented during an era Mauri? My friend Karelo Keadzimu was afraid of them. The person who is under the influence of such drug, is subject to proof suggestion. He believes everything, that to it will tell. Absolutely. It becomes a part of its being, its belief. Own brain will invent for it false substantiations for this purpose. You understand, what all it means? The uttermost washing of brains! So full, th at the victim will not suspect at all, that once it in a head had something another.
– Moreover, they at all did not suit to me an ambush at the parent house. Probably, it seems to them too obviously risky, after all they badly know our epoch. So be quiet, dock, I think, all will be o'kej. But now you should help me.
– Too good. It there has only preventive character. Therefore I consider, that in a case with Xenia it is better to me to take advantage modern to us of knowledge.

– I do not have sister! – has shouted Arlo, jumping aside. – why you do not answer my questions? Why from me hides Hton? Why turns away hveja? Who this girl of the Hell?
The dragon has reached crossing and the gauging confused with presence of two victims. What of them to pursue? But already through an instant has solved: the frightened. It has rounded a corner and has rushed after Arlo. A hell has stood on a place when by it the extended trunk has flown. Arlo has understood it not looking: except footfall of a dragon, other sounds it was not audible.
– 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?
– As the politician, I evade from the answer. – its sudden dryness has surprised Hejviga. – But I think, that you see the future in too gloomy light. Despotism can be destroyed. However we, Mauri, with the concentration in biology can leave to the future very bad inheritance.
Arlo has bypassed a dragon, trying to go vigorous step to show "approach". The exit will be outside more difficult. It is possible to take advantage of the spiral channel, but it will occupy more time and, perhaps, will wake a sleeping monster more likely. Business not in affinity or loudness of sounds, and in their nature and a direction.
Someone's hand has concerned it. It has hardly come up from embraces of an uneasy dream. The soft palm has clamped to it a mouth. And in blackness of the chamber whisper Leonsy was heard.
– Well, I will have it in a kind, Hauk. But you too are afraid. After all same all the same New Rome. Anna took both of them under hands, uncertainly smiling.

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.
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.
– Do not move, Hejvig, – the person in English has told. – Also do not try to run. Remember that the woman at us.
– About, of course, they could appear and arrange something. But I doubt, that they would began even to try. Anybody from them does not know a twentieth century life.
The cave was shaken under the awful paws of a dragon moving its trunk. Breath with a drop smell was pulled out from paste, as if burning gas. Arlo has understood, why the animals who have got to a labyrinth behaved silly and quickly lost self-control. The shivering stone did their gait uncertain, led to an incorrect estimation of the position and reduced mobility. Breath of a monster hardly probable did not blow off extraction, and its heat and a stench could paralyse it.
