TO THE SECOND

Now Arlo moved more cautiously for new tunnels could be killing while their features are unknown. This site seemed ordinary, but Arlo not such fool to rely on appearance. It has sniffed, studying suspicious smells. Sometimes on such here dry territory the chimera trapped...
And when he has turned back to the red-haired girl who has arrived together with it, the smile has appeared again on his face.
It has not receded, but also has not attacked. Instead she has suddenly smiled – prokazlivoj and a carefree smile which as he has understood, it teased it. He has smiled in the answer, understanding a situation humour, but the girl has suddenly grown dark.
– But also, – has told Mendoza, even more strongly having broken hand Hejviga, – Stalemate Moriarti was my friend.
Now Arlo has seen, that it is the girl. At least, not the boy. A breast as at the man, but between feet it is not visible any shoot.

– You have forgotten, what it is ordered you? Your problem – investigation. You should not be exposed to risk, appearing here during such time,
It hardly remembered, how has reached quickly the house. Somehow it has suddenly appeared there, panting and pulling pants. Kokena with surprise looked at it.
The pas big fires and ruins of New Rome have been restored a relative order. First of all the government and occupational armies required food and water. Therefore townsmen could not be plundered and held more on pain of death. They needed to provide possibility easy to work. Later Baldwin Flandrsky, the deputy of the emperor in this part of the world where Constantinople entered also, has decided to squeeze out of the citizens more. But soon it in war with Bulgarians has been captured and has died in prison. Its successor Anri the First continued its line. The king latinjan could belittle Greeks, cast them into poverty, to take them in soldiers. But for all it it should provide with it relative safety.
Aton has rested a palm against back Snejpnira and vsprygnul on it. Its vigour has not seemed Arlo to the strange: the father always was the active person. Only recently Arlo has overtaken it in growth. Aton has bent, has picked up the son and has set on a back segment of a racer. Slejpnir at all has not paid to it attention: it that on it sits Aton interested only.
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.
Hejvig has led group in a tower. Behind he has heard shout which only has surprised him, but has not disturbed. Forward, on a ladder!

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.
I took the tube. We had already dinner and sat in my office among books and pictures. The sun has risen highly enough, and I declared, that it is already possible to drink a few temples. But nevertheless atmosphere in an office remained strained.
Slejpnir did not understand words, but now its desire to find the owner accrued, and it has moved from a place. A brain tiny, but a scent excellent. An instant later it took a fresh trace and potrusil on it.
It has helped Xenia to rise. The girl has seized it both h ands, and he has stroked its long confused black hair, having recollected as held it when it w as the child. Through a shoulder he has shouted the rest:
But it was not its own fear. Here, keeping balance, he felt in safety. In that safety which in general is possible in caves.

You have spent there some years. Also has collected a lot of information. How sharing it? And to transfer us the money? It you will deserve returning in our brotherhood. Or you prefer the heated iron, nippers for vydiranija nails, appointment to those who has huge experience to force people to dream of death vainly? But I long will not allow you to die …
However, his parents always seemed sad and not only because one has lost an eye, and another – possibility to move but also therefore, it is probable, that could not forget the first-born which name Arlo never heard. That boy has died in infancy, till birth Arlo. He knew about whom only according to old doctor Bedokura. That is why the letter "And" of the First-born has passed to the second child – differently it would name in another way. Arlo knew, that he is the second son and in the opinion of parents belongs to the second grade though they never about it mentioned – there was no need.
The person, reflected Arlo, it is much more difficult than an animal. Any time it considered the girl, trying to underst and its prompting. But they have appeared same imperceptible, as well as a flesh which he vainly searched at it between feet.
The head has risen. On the dirty person tears flew, and behind the confused yellow locks huge eyes shone.
– You think, what me will accept as the scientist? – It is disturbing has asked Hejvig the captain. – but it at all so. At all of us such, as I.
– Listen, – she has whispered, – you will move forward, at morning. Let they will bring to you a breakfast, and then come back here. You have understood? I want, th at they considered, that you have run away in the morning. You can move? If is not present, you were lost.
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.

– Do not stir, – she has ordered. – it is possible, they will decide to check up and this time. Keep for me, and we will depart to the past. Do not hurry up, I will adapt to you.
The science, rationalism, planning, the control … And on the other hand, the myths, the released mentality, the person as a nature part, whence it gets knowledge and wisdom …
So its reason argued, but also feelings have already entered business. It has caused to the girl a pain – and is obliged to help it. He almost did not know it, but she promised to fill the emptiness which has arisen in it suddenly.
Arlo happened in vicinities of a labyrinth and knew, th at 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.
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.
