THE PLANE

– 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.
But to Russia Tatars have gushed, and in Europe Sacred Inquisition dominated. Hence, before them the terrible scenes which witnesses they were here will be developed everywhere. Besides, they do not remain not noticed. It will be clear to everyone, th at they give out themselves not for those who they are actually. Therefore Hejvig has bought the house in suburb of Constantinople – the Feather. There usually there lived strangers.
The city with the spikes directed in the sky and gracefully rounded off domes was empty. The invisible barrier has for a short while detained them. They have moved forward in time, yet have not seen in air the ship. Then they have stopped.
Arlo stood on a place, and three women have come nearer to it. Urd has stretched the lean hand and has put to its boy on a breast. Its fingers zaskolzili on muscles of its breast, and from a mouth the stream of any gibberish has poured down.
Arlo was not afraid of a dragon but only because that could not leave own tunnels. Its bulky body succeeded only in the territory. In the big caves the dragon became awkward, to slip away from it did not make work. But within the tunnels in diameter of metre in three it turned to a fiend – furious and invincible. The dragon was carnivorous and ate big and small tvarjami which by nonsense or casually got into its den and had not time to get out in time therefrom.
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.
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.

Perhaps, the most surprising for Hejviga was that Uollis perfectly looked. It is majestic sat at a table in the office where traces of battle and a blood stain have been already destroyed.
It has helped Xenia to rise. The girl has seized it both hands, and he has stroked its long confused black hair, having recollected as held it when it was the child. Through a shoulder he has shouted the rest:
Arlo has reached the central cave. Here, having buried in powerful folds of a skin, the dragon slept. Even laying it was time in two above Arlo. However, standing it almost same: paws at it short, and the trunk at run is extended. Stank here fairly – everything, the cave floor is filled up by a sewage. The snore of a dragon reminded howl in distant tunnels-vozduhoduvkah.
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.
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.

That they will meet with similar to them, of course, will influence. On it has played Uollis, will play and Hejvig. But, of course, it is not enough of it. Besides, Uollis promised all the power and greatness, he asserted, what each of them – the creator of the future That could tell to companions Hejvig that they have like hatred to Eerii, have understood necessity of war with it?.
– I have spent more year among early Mauri, – have told to me Hejvig. – Also has received there that formation which was necessary for me for my purpose. It were very lovely, kind people. About, certainly, among them were both rascals, and swindlers, at them were the lacks, but as a whole Federation of that time was the happiest and suitable for normal human life. That you will not tell about earlier stages of development which I have passed, up to the twentieth century. There I have sat down in the plane and have flown from Vellingtona to Istanbul. I wished to meet Xenia. Soon we have got married.
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.
Hejvig has arrived to Istanbul around docks and has gone kruzhnoj road not to guide spies. The road was almost empty. In one hand it bore the chronologist, in another – a flat small suitcase where Xenia's life consisted. The rain strewed from the grey sky, and soon all its clothes were dripping wet, the cold rose to a body. The sound of its steps on slippery stones was boomingly carried on deserted streets. He hurried up. After all has passed more than fifteen minutes since he has left Xenia. There were three o'clock in the afternoon, and twilight has already hung over a city.
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.
Arlo has brought to the Hell in the favourite secluded corner and has lowered near foaming falls. It has begun to enclose to it under a head a moss, but while was engaged in it, the girl has sat down – and so it is live, that he has guessed: any time it already is awake.
And when it had to disappear, it, on the one hand, was glad to changes, and with another – very much longed in separation from Xenia. However, to it to justify the role of the businessman, often enough it was necessary to leave. Though its office was in the house, affairs of firm demanded, that it met the agents in a city or even in other cities.

– We have answered: about the past, the future and the present. Your angry incest will destroy a life and death.
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.
– 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!
– Fine work, – has told Krasitsky, having read its report. – it is excellent. I am assured, that Sahem will award you for it.
Somehow he has told Xenias, that its favourite classical poets are rather far from a real life. And it to prove it the return, has read to it the Homere, the Greek dramas, hymns … its Voice sounded with inspiration, the finger ran on lines, and among roses bees … hooted
Hejvig and its half-dozens of friends stood at morning New, 1077 of continuous existence Eerii. Stars brightly sparkled in the western part of the sky, but have already started to fade in the east. In illusive light bricks of walls and towers, the glasses of windows covered with hoarfrost cobble-stones of a roadway were seen. The extraordinary silence reigned over the world as if all sounds have died out on this frost which at breath pinched from time to time a throat and lungs.

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.
Hejvig remained it is happy. Its returning was difficult operation. He had to wait long for the plane in the dead Istanbul infected with a radio-activity.
As tried, it has come too late. By the moment of its arrival agents have cracked a door and have got into the house. They have put the person at doors that that has met robbers about whom has warned Hejvig. Now it has made the business and has joined the rests to have a good time together with them.
