TO ISTANBUL AROUND DOCKS

– Aton! Navetrennyj wood! – has shouted Arlo, pulling Slejpnira for a tail. A hell dies, and it should potter with this feeble-minded animal!
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.
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.
– Means, it is similar to drugs. The person voluntary accepts a chemical compound which enslaves its brain.
It has not been locked at all. Here nobody could enter without the permission. If he, certainly did not intend to destroy all created Sahemom. Hejvig has widely opened doors.
In this area of caves there were no other people, except Atona, Kokeny, Arlo, doctors Bedokura yes several zombies! However Aton seconds did not fluctuate.
There was a November, 1213. Hejvig has chosen this month because knew: there will be a dirt, slush, a cold – and agents Eerii will not be on duty at my house. But on the bank of a bay the Gold Horn weather was not such cold though the penetrating wind blew through Black sea from Russia, bringing a rain. In houses of Byzantines for protection against a cold there were only copper braziers – fireplaces here were the expensive. Xenia's small body shuddered from a cold, in lungs rattles were heard.

– We simply wished to learn, they here same, how at us, or not? – Has answered Hejvig. – I heard. Owners differ the big variety.
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.
Aton has turned back. To it was fifty two years. It was temnoborodyj, strong, with resoluteness expression, and even ruthlessness on the person. It has stuck Slejpnira with a fist into a nose – so it caressed an animal. It was so mighty, that would not feel an easy touch. The unique eye Atom interrogatively looked on Arlo.
– Those people who have seized you, even such not ordinary and refined person as Krasitsky, have not thought at all to take this device for studying. Also it is a fine illustration to my point of view. Jack, at each traveller in time is a hit problem precisely during the necessary moment. And only you have approached to the permission of this problem scientifically: has developed the device and has found the company which has made it for you.
– But also, – has told Mendoza, even more strongly having broken hand Hejviga, – Stalemate Moriarti was my friend.

Tunnels here were not natural, but the powerful claws of a dragon scratched in an integral stone. However, the stone was soft enough: Arlo could square its stalactite. But even on the tiny tunnel months of tiresome work would be required – and these were far not tiny!
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.
– I am not so malicious on you, – he has told, – I even admire with your energy, mind. I would like, that you used them for me. Therefore I have ordered to the boys to allow to you to have a rest before it interview. I hope, your nerves have settled into shape. Sit down.
Leonsa … He has taken a sip of coffee. Will and forces have returned to it. Having returned during normal time, he has had time to hear hoarse whisper:
In a court yard explosions were heard. Hejvig has hastened to Leonse. It has braided, I have clamped feet of bottom often body Uollisa fingers of hands pressed on a carotid. Uollis beat its fists on hands, but it pressed and pressed. Blows Sahema all weakened, and here its hands have powerlessly fallen.
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:
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.

Sounds of steps on a stone floor were boomingly distributed in silence. They quickly rose on dark and dusty spiraleobraznoj to a ladder. Guttierez and Belyavsky remained below to protect a front entrance and the lift. Indhlovu and CHao have started to search the second and third floors to find out apartments of secretary Uollisa. And Hejvig was already on a following floor before the upholstered copper a door in apartments Uollisa.
They have not been prepared for a life in dokolumbovoj. To America also could remain there only very much for a short while. They could be transferred forward in time, buy that is necessary, and to return back. But after that both of them have gained, serene idyll for them was impossible.
But the happy ends are not present. And no ends are present. Nothing comes to an end. However, to us happy instants drop out.
At last they have reached to navetrennogo woods. Everywhere from a ceiling stalactites hanged down, incorporating with the stalagmites rising upwards, as columns. Many of them vertical were not: the constant wind rejected a dripping liquid, inclined stone sculptures turned out also. At times, after centuries, natural forces changed a wind direction, compelling these constructions to be bent in other party, and the increased number navetrennyh columns braked air currents that affected the form of columns leeward. Slow growth gave way to aeration. As a result at stalactites randomly hanging down branches, and at stalagmites – fancifully twirled roots grew. Colours were the most different: shone blue and pink strips, narosshy a green moss. Arlo saw before itself original annals of caves: the luminescence not always was here green, and in expanding columns its ancient versions have remained.

– Yes, you receive sensation of rescue. Go good luck. In the morning, after hour singing and meditation, the family has returned to usual affairs: the father manually processed a small garden. For it it was purely psychological necessity, but not economic. Mother continued work on a paramathematical problem. At one sight at its records at Hejviga the head has begun to spin. Children were engaged with difficult electronic system which carried out functions of the teacher and the tutor.
Probably, it is the zombie. Zombies look as people though them are not – and not only because they naked. Arlo itself dumped clothes constraining it when left the house. The zombie did not have a reason. They moved under instructions Htona and avoided the present people. Arlo never saw the zombie-child, but caves are full of unexpectedness.
– 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!
