BUT IT

– You will celebrate, when you will arrive. – it has hesitated for a time. – I did not wire, that the Federation has sent for you a dirigible balloon. To tell the truth, they, of course, faster, but are less reliable, than the ships. Engines at them weak, and the fire-prevention catalyst for hydrogen just passes tests.
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.
– Alas. We decline. The dying world. The death as is real for the whole people, as well as for separate persons Hejvig was silent, standing near the dying friend in a lap.
– To escape it was possible to the little, – he told to me then. – But also we have caught those later. After all from registration books Uollisa we knew about all of them so to us did not make work to learn, where they could disappear. Anybody from them was not the superman. All of them were or the ninnies put Uollisom to perform work of clerks, or soldiers, tupogolovymi, superstitious and severe. Uollis never tried to give to the people an all-round education. It developed in everyone only that wished to take from it. After all if the person is formed, he starts to think, starts to set superfluous questions.
Not including cunnings, there was only stalactite dart. Arlo has exposed it before itself, expecting when enormous jaws will click before it, and he will jump aside, will evade from a mouth and will amaze a dragon in an eye. A century a dart not to detain! Arlo has some times given up as a bad job, forcing a dragon to blink. That did not know, that stones at Arlo have come to an end.
– Yes, yes, – it has sobbed. – as though I would like to get there and to get acquainted with this girl … If it has presented to you such happiness … But it is impossible, I know. Well, I will wait, Jack, I will wait, how many it is required …
The only thing that reminded of severity of the Byzantian customs in their bedroom, there was an icon of Maiden Maria. Light getting through cracks in shutters, shined the walls ornamented by bright colours and cheerful animals Xenia laid in bed. It was such small, such thin in the nightgown. The skin fitting its fragile bones, was, as svezhevypavshy the snow slightly painted by a pink dawn. Its lips have dried up, have cracked. Dense hair were swept on a pillow, from a pale face the huge scared eyes looked.

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.
– Strike me! – she has spoken, having put in pawn hands for a back and having lifted a head. So it was very lovely.
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 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.
The mighty suntanned captain in saronge and with bare feet has slowly told, th at it povjal the passenger only just adapting to the modern language.
– 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.
Even more to secure itself against agents Eerii, he has thought up to itself(himself) a new name – John Andersen – and has accustomed Xenia to name it so. Fortunately, it was not curious and did not set silly questions concerning why it has replaced a name and why it, such rich and notable, has decided to marry it, the poor girl? Eventually, if so it wanted to it to have it why it has not made its concubine?
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.

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.
– Big. Our century – a severe century. We have received severe lessons what even generation Uollisa cannot present itself. Besides, the general style of a life, science level … He for certain heard something, for example, about the operational analysis, but never used it. Hejvig has strained.
– I have come to rescue you, – have told Hejvig. Its voice has sounded strange in this room over which fear and death atmosphere has hung. It has crossed: – For the sake of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. For the sake of Maiden Maria I of all sacred. Quickly follow me, differently all of you will be lost.
Snorting was heard. There was no need to turn around to understand: this time the dragon has woken up! Children faced to it, as on a saucer.
– 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.
«There has passed year since Jack Hejvig and Leonsa from Vahorna have said goodbye to me, I often think of them. Certainly, usual vanity fills my days, but also among it I always find hour to recollect them. They can be now in any place the planets indulging in despair or triumphing. After all right now there is all about what they told to me. But we never will meet more. The end of their life is immensely far from the moment of my death.

– 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
The ship has landed. On an invisible gangway the command has gone down on the earth. Hejvig saw men and women. The sparkling clothes fitted their bodies. Hejvig has understood, th at the Earth could not create similar perfect beings earlier, during an epoch of dinosaurs, later when painfully swelled red Sun will slowly burn it.
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.
Arlo has shrugged shoulders though him enraged, that its words have disregarded again. This little girl did not resemble the criminal, and after all if to trust Atonu, the most malicious offenders got to prison Htona only. What could it make to deserve such sentence?
I am not assured completely not, th at the victory over Eeriej has allowed it to fill emptiness which was formed in it with Xenia's death.
