IT, NOT KNOWING

Leonsa has turned to me. She has softly smiled, as though apologising for weakness and vulnerability of its man; that she has told, for it was the simple remark which does not have resolutely any value:
Loops have begun to creak. The door has opened. In a doorway there was a bearded person in the Byzantian clothes. The pistol barrel in his hand seemed Hejvigu huge.
But these thoughts flashed at it in a head as something extraneous. All soul it was flooded Xenia's with death. He already hardly saw, how its house has flashed from a fire when Turks took a city as then the city began to build up as before it persons flashed, persons, persons … till that time when the city has been wiped off the face of the earth huge explosion. They have stopped among radioactive ruins and have departed by the plane through ocean to continue travel to the future where waited for them Sahem. But in a shower there was nothing, except Xenia. He saw, how it remained one to die in an empty room.
Now Arlo has seen, th at it is the girl. At least, not the boy. A breast as at the man, but between feet it is not visible any shoot.
I cannot understand, why he was afraid to glance in Xenia's future, to learn, when s he 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.
When Slejpnir ran, he ran. Arlo has seized both hands a tail and has rushed off, but the racer has appeared for it too quick. Soon Arlo has ceased to move feet: having connected a foot, it has begun to jump, as the stone which has been started up on a surface of water, – the prompt pace of an animal carried away it forward. Severe exercise – but it delivers it there where it is necessary!
Here too there were four agents dressed by crusaders. Hejvig at once has learnt them. Mendoza, the criminal from Spain of the twentieth century. Hejvig met it in Jerusalem. Moriarti, the Brooklyn gangster of the nineteenth century. In hands on c all it held a small machine gun. Hans, landskneht the sixteenth century, with curiosity observed, how Konrad from Brabant struggles with Xenia.

– Who such minonetka? – It already asked this question Bedokuru, but has not received the satisfactory answer. Certainly minonetka – the woman from a planet the Minion. Why it should matter? Why it compare to sirens, valkirijami and death?
– I love you, – he has told to it, not knowing, whether she hears it, captured by illness and horror. Lips which it has concerned with the lips, were completely not such what have remained in its memory.
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.

Night at first has come to the chamber, then has glanced in a window. Hejvig stupidly looked at a supper, brought to it while the plate has not disappeared in darkness.
– I have left it in Istanbul when me have seized. I think, th at the people, which steels to live in this house, either have thrown out it, or have taken to pieces with curiosity. I have already made to myself new.
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.
Itself Dukas laid near an input. Its skull has been split. Blood has filled in a floor, was absorbed in white tuniku the jeweller, has painted a grey-haired beard. The hand still compressed it tiny jeweller molotochek which he tried to protect the women.
Their house was empty in the beginning, but in due course it has been arranged and decorated with taste which she has inherited from the father. From a house roof it was possible to see a bay the Gold Horn and walls and domes of Constantinople on other coast. From such distance it seemed the rich, not plundered city.
– Having disguised the traces, how much it was possible, I have gone back to Constantinople.

Byzantines, spoke Hejvig, were full of superstitions. The magic, guessings, amulets from an evil eye, omens, bewitching potions … Xenia took a great interest in an astrology. Naturally, its hobby was harmless, it made horoscopes, interpreting them how it seemed to it interesting. At often nights they together went to observe stars. About My God as it was fine in a moonlight! He constantly struggled with a temptation to present it a telescope. At least the small. But it was too risky.
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
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.
– Means, it is similar to drugs. The person voluntary accepts a chemical compound which enslaves its brain.
To time for meditation does not remain. The salamander has moved to it for these beings always attack and never recede. It is necessary to battle or run. Under usual circumstances Arlo would escape, but here there was no roundabout tunnel which would allow to bypass it and to continue a way.
Hejvig marked places where marauders with extraction stopped, and transferring to record to people on Eerii which, changed clothes by crusaders, took away extraction. In this bedlam it was possible to do anything you like, not involving attention. Extraction was transferred on the ship standing in a safe place.
– Can be. – I have got matches, have lighted a tube. This small centre in my hand always operated on me uspokaivajushche. – Jack, I thought that you have told to me in last visit much. It is natural. I have time for reflexions. And you have now come to me in hope, that I will give to your advice. Truly?

Hejvig has returned to a room. Near a wall laid dying Moriarti. House, servants and pupils Dukasa have bunched. Some of them have been wounded in firing. Bardas the dead laid.
– You have forgotten, what it is ordered you? Your problem – investigation. You should not be exposed to risk, appearing here during such time,
– I love you, – he has told to it, not knowing, whether she hears it, captured by illness and horror. Lips which it has concerned with the lips, were completely not such what have remained in its memory.
The boy has stopped at the most promising niche where the new version grew. These flowers were blue and – yes-yes! – were slightly shone! The first shone blue hybrid! Arlo has brought to a flower a palm, but that has deviated. Actually hveja did not move, petals simply nearest to it hardly have hung, designating refusal.
