For some reason, the white snake Hiyatu was not happy. And, not too happy. The statement of the guardian that the defense of the city has weakened, and everyone who is not lazy go there, she ignored. Attempts to jump on the snake body and yell could not be ignored, so she hissed that it was too early and threw Hiyata out of her world. The only thing left for the guy was to sit on the floor and blink in surprise.I had to return to the house of the guardian, to listen to her grumbling about the unrestrained and ungrateful boys who do not value their own health. But she fed Del these boys delicious homemade food, and all her punishment was washing dishes. Khiyat did not even immediately understand that the same assistant to Darine Atana demanded punishment.The night passed surprisingly calmly, part of the morning too, and then a small messenger bird appeared with the news that a red-haired candidate for guardianship was waiting for Ladai and Khiyat. Not only waiting for them, of course

A few minutes of rest
Dorana finally slept. For the first time since the storage candidates arrived in the city. The messenger birds did not fly. Mom, who opened the door to the messenger, did not wake up. Even Velda did not demand yesterday that they gather in the morning near the guest house to listen to another speech about how she will become a great guardian and remake everything in the city.Fine.The girl stretched, got out from under the covers and looked around. The room was bright, too bright, so that the day had long since arrived. And Dorana slept off, probably for six months, no less. She didn't want to go anywhere or do anything. I didn’t even want to eat, drink and put myself in order. Unfortunately, sleep too.Dorana looked behind the curtain, making sure that the day outside the window was in full swing. She walked across the room and stopped at the bookshelf.- Why not? she asked herself and pulled out a book with a green cover.The girl didn't have any questions. So she decided to just r

Alien secret
Dorana woke up from the fact that someone knocked on her window.The girl lay down a little, hoping that it seemed or that the sound was a dream. But the knock was repeated. Persistent such knock, rhythmic.Dorana sat down and listened.There was another knock on the window.“All right,” said the girl. - Persuaded, I get up.She armed herself with a slipper, made sure that the amulet ring was in place and went to kill the crazy one who knocks on other people's windows at night.The moon shone outside the window. It was big and yellow, like a head of cheese. And against its background, a human head and a hand raised for the next knock were blackened like a stencil.— Eek! Dorana said in surprise.She still hoped it was a tree knocking on the window. Branch. True, the girl did not remember any trees growing close to the window, but you never know, suddenly they are there, and the fact that they are not there was just a dream. There are dreams that seem more real than real reality itself

Alien secret 2
I wonder what he can be thanked for in such a situation? For doing a favor and surviving?- Why? - Khiyat asked in a strange way. Because I have to.- Must? The girl couldn't believe her ears. What and to whom do you owe? After all, you are not the one who keeps!Khiyat hatched on her like a talking dog.- Not keeping? Dorana asked, slowly realizing that no one but those who keep guards can do anything with the defense of the city. Even their relatives can't without special permission. And all sorts of strangers… — Khiyat?- It happened. Let's go from here.That's the whole answer. A real man.“But you will explain everything to me when we leave!” Doran set the condition.“Good,” Khiyat did not resist.The hardest part was getting Hiyat out of the bush. At first, the girl tried to lead him, then she spat, grabbed her armpits and dragged him, not listening to his comments. Then things got easier. The guy knew exactly where he needed to go, said where to turn and promised that at the en

Know more - sleep worse
Khiyat was lying on the floor. Eyes closed, arms outstretched, bliss on face.Liiran and Dorana sat in chairs. They sat with their feet without even taking off their shoes. Instinct kicked in as the floor lit up and strange patterns crawled across it. Neither he nor she wanted to accidentally step on something like that. You never know how it will react. This is Hiyata, it heals, but it can do with them exactly the opposite.They were frankly afraid to talk, it seemed that they would violate some kind of sacrament, or attract some kind of dirty trick with a loud sound. And what is there to talk about? It is better to wait until Khiyat gets up and finally tells what kind of nonsense is going on in the city, and why the candidates for the guardians have come to the fore. With these candidates, nothing is clear at all. Liiran, for example, studied well enough to know that any more or less close blood relative of a carnivore feels the presence of someone who has a similar gift nearby. Eve

older brothers
In the morning, Liiran began to feel as if he had dreamed everything. Well, he woke up in his bed. Under the door of the handle, the back of the chair is thrust, a kind of protection from drunken brides. Birds are chirping outside the window, the sun is shining. The time is closer to noon.Everything was ruined by a messenger who brought an indication that Liiran should find Khiyat and drag him to Darine Atana. Moreover, this should be done as quickly as possible.I had to say goodbye to the pale and unhappy brides, who were no longer happy that they got involved in grandfather's adventure, and did not really understand how and why they got involved. Promise mom to eat well and get plenty of rest again. Listen to grandfather's instructions. And finally, go in search of a subordinate.However, it didn't take long to find him. He was in his father's house. As pale as the hungover brides, but suspiciously cheerful.Dorana was found there. She busily mixed some medicines and thought aloud

How to exorcise a ghost
The next three days were very fun. The brothers no longer pestered Dorana, they were not up to it. Nich did not appear at home at all, doing something mysterious and important. Kairan, along with his older brothers, came only to eat and show his mother, they say, they are all alive and well. Mom was happy, grumbled that at least one should get married, because she was tired of feeding all this crowd, and listened to the news.And the news was, though expected, but not very joyful.At night, spirits began to roam the city, frightening various overly impressionable passers-by. Someone there even had a heart attack, he did not expect that a long-dead great-grandmother would come out of the wall and begin to shake her fist. It was not possible to find out how he saw his great-grandmother in the formless ghost, for everyone else these spirits were on the same face, also an absent face, and they were frightened of them, rather, from surprise. It is unpleasant to fly into a ghost that has cr

Water element
“Here you have to dive,” said Hiyat, and Dorana sighed heavily.At the moment, it was no longer clear to her what exactly she was counting on by escaping from the library. But no matter what she counted on, Khiyat behaved unpredictably anyway. And he himself led her to the very green turtles with which he swears.No, at first they walked quietly and peacefully through the city. Then for some reason they crawled along some kind of hole, ignoring the hysterically barking dog. Before the girl had time to stand up and dust off her knees, Hiyata was carried into someone's overgrown garden. Behind the garden, stone fragments and rocks that looked like the ruins of a giant structure were found.The guy quite confidently passed between the stone fragments, helped Dorana to squeeze into a rather narrow gap, either between the rocks, or in the rock. He confirmed that it was the sound of the surf that was heard and turned right. So they got to the point that the girl took for a big puddle and wh

Water element 2
“Not at all,” Ladai confirmed. “They didn't listen to her. They were more interested in throwing books. One hit me in the face.He touched the black eye and chuckled again.- Why are you giggling? – Khiyat asked and poured the powder into a cup.“Fun,” Ladai blurted into a smile. - Snowball game. Books.“One of them hit him over the head,” Liiran said. - We went to that drinking house to ask for ice to apply to the bump.“Yeah,” Khiyat said seriously and scratched the back of his head. “Did you get hit in the eye with a book too?”“No,” Liiran smiled sadly. “I got hit by the librarian's fist when I tried to explain why no one stopped Velda. Rough uncle.“Very severe,” Ladai confirmed.Dorana went up to him, looked into his eyes, grunted and demanded to show the bump. The boy bowed his head willingly, swaying forward and almost burying himself in her knees. The girl ran her hand along the back of his head, found a bump, gently felt it and, nodding to her thoughts, decided to treat him.

One more call
“Everything will be fine,” Khiyat said.Dorana smiled and nodded, although at the moment she didn't care. Even if the summoners came in droves and summoned the ancient evil, she wouldn't care one bit. She thought so.Now they were walking through the city. The guy held her hand, escorted her home and told her what he was doing in the library, while she sat alone with sandwiches and looked at portraits. It turns out that he was there, with the help of some mysterious guardian, slightly changing the protection of the city. Now he could influence her from afar, though not yet from anywhere, but only from that very library.Summoners will no longer be able to enter the city until they catch all the ghosts, this was the condition of the change. And after that, they will not be able to call anything dangerous in the city. They can try to turn safe into dangerous, but they are unlikely to succeed.Dorana nodded and smiled at Khiyat, the city, the sun, a puddle of unknown origin in the middle
