COULD NOT LEAVE OWN TUNNELS

Arlo has left a cave-oven and has hastened on a pasture. It w as the small network of tunnels given to an animal and fenced from different directions. Barriers interfered not with its runaway, and intrusion of dangerous predators. The boy has found out Slejpnira on a sound: continuous "shur-shur-shur". Slejpnir was from among eaters of a luminescence: it squared the large cutters a stone and extracted thus a lichen covering wall. The tiresome employment which is taking away a lot of time and efforts, – but at this creature were both time, and force, and almost there was no imagination. Atonu had to overtake continually Slejpnira on a new site, differently that should square a stone without a luminescence and to starve to death.
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.

However, absence Htona was not full – the dragon remained motionless. What meant refusal Htona of dialogue?
The beginning of the thirteenth century which Catholicism named apogee of a civilisation for then the western churchmen have struck blow to east stronghold of Christianity was such. And in one and a half centuries, having devastated Asia Minor, Turks have entered into Europe.

At Hejviga there was no huge army. The group consisted of three thousand persons. Also women there entered. It was too much to hold them on one intermediate base as various hearings could reach the enemy and guard him. Therefore small groups have been scattered on different eram, and now all has co me to movement. All groups began to gather to a starting point.
– It has begun as the brilliant young philosopher. And has finished a life the statesman. I speak you about it, as you one of two people of my time to whom I can let into the secrets. Whether see, I not a wise man, I can slide only on a life surface, collecting the information. But whether I can interpret the collected facts, whether I can understand, what occurs? Whence to me to know, that should be made, that I can be made - simply have slipped on a surface of years, and Karelo Keadzimu veins, worked, thought in a thick of events. Its help was necessary to me. – whether see, – has told to it Hejvig, – one element of your culture is too developed at the expense of the others.
– Iohannes, Nikeforus, you will incur mistress Anna: the Others who can, will help wounded men. – then at the veto it was pulled out in English: – Lines you pobral! It is necessary to be cleaned from here faster!
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.
Leonsa has screamed. Hejvig hardly has had ti me to seize it before it has disappeared, moving in the past.
On April, 12th 197D year. The spring, just arising greens, still crude after a night rain, white clouds in the sky, reflected in pools on paths, the crude cold earth sticking to fingers when I was kneeling, putting bulbs of irises.
The cross-section tunnel has seemed, and Arlo has curtailed into it. The dragon has braked on turn, having lost speed. Perfectly – Arlo time prize was necessary! Perhaps, Arlo could outwit a dragon while that sleepy, and itself to return back to the Hell and to specify it a flight way. Weak hope, but...

The passion has seized Hejvigom. Its fingers have squeezed a glass about which he has absolutely forgotten, and he has hotly started talking:
The fortress always was carefully protected, but now when Eerija already so much years prospered, anybody would not condemn sentries who in morning of New year have decided to leave the posts and to celebrate a holiday.
– Having disguised the traces, how much it was possible, I have gone back to Constantinople.

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.
When Bedokur how knew Arlo agrees with it, it is better to consider all anew. But suddenly in it has arisen strong feeling is intolerable. The wolf has found out a smell, has attacked on the Hell and torments her?
– You have not understood me. – I have waved a tube. – I have asked, whether you studied Eeriju consistently, year after year.
– Fine work, – has told Krasitsky, having read its report. – it is excellent. I am assured, that Sahem will award you for it.
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, that 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.
They could visit Karelo Keadzimu, but it a little than could help them. Besides, it occupied too high position, its life was at all on a kind.
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.

The person, reflected Arlo, it is much more difficult than an animal. Any time it considered the girl, trying to underst and its prompting. But they have appeared same imperceptible, as well as a flesh which he vainly searched at it between feet.
I am not assured completely not, that the victory over Eeriej has allowed it to fill emptiness which was formed in it with Xenia's death.
To find travellers in time is only the beginning. They need to be organised. How? Why they should agree to leave the houses, a habitual environment, to go on certain restrictions, to put the lives on something illusive, not clear? Also what can stop them when they will get tired of loneliness and will want to return on houses?
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.
Here Arlo has reflected. The dart still is useful to it. Even for certain – to take away the danger which is coming nearer to the Hell. It cautiously took it for the end, having lifted a salamander in air. Its eyes-businki spitefully devoured the boy, and it Arlo somehow has strange excited. It liked hatred of this small monster!
