THE EARTH

– Business in that, – as always has precisely explained Hejvig, – that we, I and Leonsa, we leave the Earth. I doubt, that we will return.
– And so what for you have resulted me! – has exclaimed flattered Arlo. – Thanks, the friend. Certainly, I would find pass and itself, but with you faster. A new site for researches?
It took a stalactite and has put to the breast. Both hands has clasped its thick end has strained muscles.
Subsequently he could not remember at all as all it occurred. Battle was too furious and short. After all its opponents could do the same, as it. Moriarti has already disappeared from a room when Hejvig has appeared again. Shot Mendozy, Hejvig has thundered, not being late, has moved forward in time where at once has noticed escaping Moriarti. It has shot the gangster and has returned back.
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.
Certainly, more in detail having learnt about our mission, you have been shocked. But what you will tell about Hiroshima? What you will tell about many soldiers, your companions, Jack which have been compelled to die, laying in a dirt on a belly, for American freedom? And you have dared to oppose them this Greek woman with whom has inadvertently fallen in love?

Shades were carried by by when time was uncontrollably torn forward. They had the form and colour, weight and the sizes only when they stopped to eat, have a sleep, take a sip air. Over these hills years, were carried by decades, centuries … the landscape Varied, there came the glaciers accompanied by snow storms. Then they thawed, leaving after themselves enormous lakes from which drank water mastodonty. Then these lakes grew with a grass, turned to bogs … And again glaciers came, and again they thawed, but now on surrounding boundless prairies herds of enormous bisons wandered, whose heavy gait forced to shudder the earth. And here there were first people – mednokozhie, armed with spears with silicon tips. And then there has again come the Big Winter – both again warming, and again people, but already armed with onions and arrows. A mastiff conquerors, fire and a sword extracting to themselves the right to live on this blest earth … have come
– The woman should follow the man, – she has declared and with a grin has added: – Jack will not manage to get off me.
– Business in that, – as always has precisely explained Hejvig, – that we, I and Leonsa, we leave the Earth. I doubt, that we will return.
He has learnt at once this shaggy carpet, heavy furniture, photos on walls. Air was cheeses and filched. Through frosty patterns on glasses light hardly got here. Maatuk remained to protect an input. Hejvig and Leonsa have passed through an office in a bedroom.
Xenia was by then in a female monastery. Though it was here only the guest, its maintenance was strict enough. It has met with Hejvigom in a cold room brick walls under vigilant supervision of sister-nun. Xenia has been dressed in a cape from a rough dark wool and is not dared even to concern hands of the visitor-man, despite its generous gifts to a monastery. However Hejvig a smog see its deep dark eyes, has noticed, that, despite all difficulties and deprivations which to it should be transferred, its body was approximated, filled with feminity, and sounds of its voice have returned it back, those happy days, when it, it and her father …

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.
But Hton has already left it. Arlo stood discouraged and looked around, as if could find out presence of the god personally. What it is reproach? But of what he was guilty?
It hardly remembered, how has reached quickly the house. Somehow it has suddenly appeared there, panting and pulling pants. Kokena with surprise looked at it.
Hejvig began to move slowly forward in time. When behind a window it became absolutely light, it has stopped, has accurately corrected the cut cable that the cut has not been swept up, and began to wait. Never before time did not last so slowly.
The new group of its army has come up from time and has entered fight. And suddenly on a fortress the parachute landing its people who jumped out of the plane in the twentieth century and have landed now, at precisely appointed o'clock as each of them has been supplied by the chronologist has fallen. The confusion in the ranks of soldiers Eerii was the uttermost. They did not expect an attack. Besides they yet do not send from celebrating of New year. And if to add, that they were resisted by the soldiers specially prepared for such fight, accurately knowing the maneuver, victory Hejviga was inevitable.
Arlo has entered into the narrowed pass which has remained since those times – it is probable, centuries ago, – when the dragon was young. It has expanded the majority of tunnels, but them was so much, that on the brink of a den it has passed some. Possibly, has changed the initial plan and more them did not require, and even has left them intentionally – for an extraction input. Obviously, the most part of extraction to a dragon managed to be caught, differently it would die with hunger.

– Something else? – Now Arlo has got agitated. It had a thin scent on adventures («You have inherited it from the father!» – liked to speak Kokena, vzeroshivaja its red hair) and gift of the excellent walker. («From mother», – would tell, winking, Aton). Strange business, after all Kokena walks did not favour also all time sat out in rasslabljajushche to a warm cave near a boiling stream.
– We can reject bad, select the best, young, deduce them on a correct way, oh, damn! About My God! What to us these numskulls from Eerii? We will do the future, instead of they!
– If we will win, – has answered Hejvig and has thought, how many such promises it has given to the assistants scattered on different epoch. He has jumped from an armchair. – bring the weapon for my people. It is ti me to us to operate.

He already ran on wide tunnels. Soon it will return to a garden – and will meet danger. Coming nearer to a garden, the boy knew, that an animal very large. He had to choose tunnels on which it could pass therefore it and moved kruzhnym by and slowly.
– Well, it is young, – I have tried to calm him. – it is possible, streptomycin … – I has risen, has clapped it on the bent back. – Calm down, the sonny. Listen, that I will tell … – And I admitted to it, that five years ago in conversation with one writer from California could not be kept and have told to it separate details of epoch Mauri about which has learnt from Hejviga. This strange culture has intrigued me, and I have thought, that this person, the writer trained in reflexions and assumptions, can explain me their some riddles and paradoxes. Naturally, I have told nothing to it about Hejvige and about an information source. Having listened to me, the writer has asked of the permission to use some thoughts in the products, and I have not found the reasons for refusal.
It has prepared. Nine-millimetric «Smith and Vesson» hung on a belt, cartridges it has filled jacket pockets.
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.
