THE EARTH AND

Lantern light was reflected from a smooth surface of a kitchen table. In the furnace, crackling, logs burnt. On the furnace there was an enormous coffee pot. Though to the nearest neighbours howled half-day of driving on a horse in the house stood among trees, Olaf Torstad always received visitors after darkness approach. That somebody will be issued in windows, did not confuse him: let think, that he suffers a sleeplessness.
I cannot understand, why he was afraid to glance in Xenia's future, to learn, when she will die. Really he considered, that ignorance will rescue its freedom, more truly, freedom illusion. I know nothing, besides, th at it remained with me two days, giving rest to a body and training to do injections. At last he has said goodbye. Neither it, nor I did not know, whether we will meet again. It has left by a taxi in the airport, villages in the plane and has departed to Istanbul there to move to the past where it will be grasped by agents Eerii.
At them in the house was three servants. It is not enough the then when works was not so much, and to employ people was in very simply. At Hejviga a service there was a groom – kappadokiets with the person of the swindler. It was married to the cook. Xenia with pleasure pottered with their children, indulged them. It looked after a garden which soon became the present corner of paradise. The rest of the time she was engaged in sewing, showing thus the big talent, read books which to it brought Hejvig.
– Business in that, – as always has precisely explained Hejvig, – that we, I and Leonsa, we leave the Earth. I doubt, that we will return.
– Everything what you require now, sir, it in good rest. You need to have a rest properly. I can offer interesting places.
– 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.

There has come the silence broken only by a sobbing of Xenia which held in a lap a head of mother and did not tear off eyes from Hejviga. All the others – both house Dukasa, and henchmen Mendozy – too looked at it. Hejvig has made the decision during these instants. It has estimated position of everyone in a room, has moved back in time for some minutes, has snatched out a pistol and has again returned at this time. Shots, and a head landsknehta have thundered has scattered on pieces. Hejvig has again moved back in ti me to appear in other end of a room.
Torn apart doubts Arlo has left the girl and has gone through a garden. The vegetation here was high and magnificent, with that gentle, fragrant smell which is inherent hvee – to a love flower. Old man Bedokur has brought several years ago to it to a gift runaway young hvei. Bedokur to the boy did not like, and Arlo to it did not trust, but this madman possessed touching ability to do fine gifts and besides during necessary time. Hveja – fine to volume an example.
Hejvig did not test special fear. If something is required to be made, who, except it, will make it? Nevertheless, when he, coming nearer to house Manassisa, has seen ten the dirty men going to an open door, its heart has broken. Fury has captured it, and soon three stained with blood francs have fallen to the earth and have more moved, and the others with shout have run up.

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 left from Manassisa rather anxious. It has returned back, to happier time, has rented a room in hotel, has densely had supper, has laid down to sleep. In the morning he has well had breakfast. It was not lishne for the person who soon should battle.
He was mistaken. It was not deadlock as someone has punched an aperture conducting in the new tunnel in a wall. On height of aperture Arlo has judged, th at it has made kamneedka size from the person. The harmless creature, and lives it alone – but what strong! The wall here was in finger Arlo. Silly kamneedka, possibly, has struck on it, counting on its durability, and has escaped away when the whole piece of a wall has fallen off.
– If I wished to study deeply civilisation Mauri, to stink, what percent of the truth consisted in stories about it Uollisa, I should get there. I could pretend to be one of inhabitants of islands easily. But what advantage was to the government from one more barbarian. And here to me has come to mind … – Hejvig has grinned. – you can present, dock? Is not present? O'kej. In the twentieth century I have got party of radioisotopes, like carbon-14 I have hidden them in a reliable place and have gone to the future. Here I became brother Thomas, the person from the far continent, got quite good education. You understand, dock? The basic direction of their researches – purely biological. First, it is caused by necessity of curing of wounds of the Earth and its animal and flora, and in - the second, because a human body – the natural converter of a solar energy. However at Mauri there was no the nuclear reactor making mechenye atoms for researches. Therefore my find would be for them "charisma".
So now at the first stop it could start to resist, but it could bridle itself(himself). It is impossible to arrive in Eeriju with the crippled body and soul, it is necessary to be ready to everything, that will think up for it Kaleb Uollis. It is necessary to keep in itself ability to revenge.

In comparison with a "spoke" spiral were short, but Arlo and with empty hands it would be required minutes ten to cross a den. Now time for it will leave twice more.
– Though skill of ancient sculptors is lost for a long time, – he spoke, – look nevertheless, look, as his face with firmly compressed lips … is majestic
Hejvig has collected a society in which women and men were approximately in equal Quantity. It was the present society soldered by the uniform purposes. They had customs, rituals, laws … Yes, it was present triumph Hejviga. Sahem has created army, and the person, sworn to destroy it, has created a tribe.
The thought on the killed servants, th at their children became orphans, has deafened Hejviga. Its sufferings were aggravated, when he has heard Xenia's cough.
Aton directed Slejpnira under instructions Arlo, and they quickly rushed to a garden. Even on such quick racer travel has occupied a lot of time – safe road, conducted around. Driving away terrible thought that there expects them, Arlo has started talking to the father, and it happened extremely seldom. Relations at them were not that that bad, but any incomplete. In effect, Arlo badly knew the father.

On October, 31st, 1971 it was necessary on Sunday. It means, that tomorrow children will go to school. Looking at children, I have recollected children when they were at the same age, I about Kejt. I have made fire in a fireplace, have prepared the favourite tube, a mug with hot sidrom, I have put favourite plate Kejt on a player have sat down at fire, having plunged in memoirs. To me it was quiet, and I was happy.
In a city fires flared. The bitter smoke curled. People as mad rats, hid in houses or ran out from them. And everywhere they were waited by one: murders, violence, robberies, beatings, mockeries. In streets corpses rolled. Blood flew on ditches. Mothers mourned over children, children with the loud we cry searched for mothers, yet did not become victims terrified from blood and murder of vandals. All priests subjected to severe tortures that they have told where church treasures are hidden. All has been plundered: subjects of art, a jewelry were scattered on the whole continent. And a little that was preserved. Not thinking of a cultural value of treasures, barbarians broke out precious metals and stones, the rest was burnt. So much was lost from this a cultural heritage that stored Constantinople till this awful day. And Turks were here at anything. All were made by crusaders.
– 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.
– I do not know. I had such impression. But it only impression. I do not understand much, and from me years of a life would be required to understand all. At all everything, and at least as much, how many I have understood in your life. And the life future Mauri has escaped me.
