  KASP'99.

                   03.


  Waking up, I found myself lying on the
back near the site of a recent massacre, and over my foot 
conjures Svetomir, applying to the wound some of the herbs and 
lotions at the same time muttering kakieto plots. Pain in my 
leg has subsided, and Now only a slight healing itch reminded 
that all this was not a dream. 

  Noticing that I woke up, Svetomir interrupted his lesson and 
charming smile said: 

  - Do not worry, the wound is not dangerous ... I
it was almost healed, so that soon you'll be like new. Only 
hobbled a bit - he shrugged apologetically and

added. -For a while.

  - This is it me? I asked, nodding at
side of the corpses.

  - Yeah.

  - Are you him? ..

  - Uh-huh.

  - Tell me please, how it happened
that this kind of hurt me ... -I sat up on his elbows and a 
wound in the thigh immediately expressed displeasure about it 
dull, aching pain. -You're, like, had to take it on themselves. 

  It turned out that when I managed to knock the spear in 
zmiulantsa, I somehow managed to injure his hand and when he 
rushed to lift it, then pulled his wounded hand to her stomach. 
Svetomir did not hear, I cry, but seeing that zmiulanets 
holding his stomach down upon the earth thought that he was 
mortally wounded in the stomach and switched their attention to 
the second duel. Accordingly, he, like me,

missed the moment when his zmiulanets
Lance picked up and Rushed to me ... A
I am just at the moment, rising from
Land suspecting nothing. In general Svetomir managed to get his 
partisan, but before that this bastard still managed to plunge

his spear into my thigh.

  - Hey holy, give it a bottle from his bag, and then something 
in my throat very dry. 

  Svetomir took out a bottle and threw it
me. Catching it on the fly, I unscrewed the cap and permanently 
to it will come. Soothe my thirst, I finally asked a question 
whose answer I am very interested in: 

  - Holy, where have you managed to meet
these freaks?

  - Scary ... -Svetomir chuckled. -It
You surely noticed. And I met them,
By the way, under very interesting circumstances. I went in 
that direction who have elder and soon really came to the river 
bank. Left of I placed the dense forest, resting right in the 
river and on the right towered the so-called "snake mountain". 
Pretty grim, I tell you, the monument Mother Nature. Entirely 
out of some black stone resembling marble ... Shimmers in the 
sun, as some offspring of hell, as much afraid to approach. It 
clearly has an entry, although it is currently closed and open 
it as I have not idea.


  - And where did you get that there is an entrance?
- I interrupted him. After all, what is told the old man does 
not prove anything. A whole this evil here you can smuggle just

just like us, teleport.

  - Yes, there really is ... Firstly there
the road straight into the rock rests on (why
ask), and secondly when I got there
came the first time, there was nobody nebylo ... And when I 
came back half an hour later I discovered that my meeting from 
the mountains, on this very road, stomp These two monster with 
spears at the ready. Future developments can not imagine ... 

  - Where do you wandered into this half an hour? ..

  - I wanted to see the same forest ...

  - Well, as in the forest ... Foliage noise?

  - I do not know ... I'm so up to him and did not get.

  - Then I, especially for people with low IQ, I repeat
your question. Ton-investigator I said. - So where have you 
wandered all time?


  - Do not interrupt me and learn everything. -
Svetomir was calm as a truck before
pedestrian. - I'm telling you, go see the forest ... But as 
soon as I walked to the edge, when suddenly out of the woods on 
the road came a huge wolf, and slowly trotted into my side.


  - I-clear ... -I gave. "You turned around and including the 
fifth speed tore back, and then how to meet these evils

Two ... -I have to zmiulantsev. -Are you
They peruntsem and ticking, and they follow you ...
Are you from them, with all his ... You run and
yelling ... Then turn around and peruntsem their peruntsem ... 
Then again, running away and yelling, running and yelling ... 
Am I right? 

  - Of course not. Have you ever
tried to escape from a wolf? .. No, but from
dogs? .. Either. That's just it, and it is, and I
tried ... Watchdog Doberman ...

  - Well, as well?

  - Successfully. Total number of weeks the hospital and dozens 
of scars on his body, escaped. Here So there. Hence the idea to 
try to escape I do not even arose. On the contrary, my legs as 
if rooted to the ground, but my head is spinning a question: To 
kill or wait? And while my brain feverishly to solve this 
difficult question, the wolf ran up to me quite

close. Shoot it was too late and so the answer was found by 
itself, wait. The wolf came closer and sat down, and his eyes, 
I realized that it is not just wolf. "Ugorazdilo run into 
werewolves, Slaviša its elusiveness," I thought ...


  - Stop filosovstvovat, tell
on the merits.

  - Well, I say, went so villages
peredomnoy and said: "I feel you can
help me guy. To contact
Wolf, I have to spill over twelve knives stuck into an aspen 
tree stump. But the trouble is if someone removes at least one

Knife: I can not go back into the human
appearance. And some magician did it, more
common man can not do it. Help me find my twelfth knife. "" A
as I know if I can find? "-I ask. And he answers me -" His 
power you feel as soon as he gets back to your hand. If you 
find it, return it to me I owe not stay. "" And turning, he 
trotted toward the woods. "Wait." - I called him. - "Tell me, 
What do you know about Snake Mountain? "Gore ..."-Stop, "he 
said in surprise. -" We-ell, as it opened, in the woods are 
strange things happening. All snakes from the vicinity of slip 
to it. " - Having said that, he disappeared into the woods.


  - Yeah, and then into the woods to go you do not
decided. "I said with a smile.

  - Of course not dare ... You just do not
can you imagine what I experienced.
The motor I have, at that moment, knocking so
that was pushing forward his punches. And the adrenalin was 
probably once a a few more rules. Even a little bit and

I myself would blow enough. Someone then b
your leg healed? ..

  - Yes, if-used so it happened, as you say, then my foot would 
be all in order.


  - ... Is that the head would be lost while sleeping ... - 
Continued Svetomir. -A with foot, you're right, everything 
would be all right. Okay, get up ... The wound is delayed. 

  I rose from the ground and tried to walk a bit. Indeed, the 
wound is not completely made itself felt as though her never 
nebylo. Only a red scar, will now always remind me gloomy, 
rainy evening of that my mistake (or stupidity, whatever). 
Yielding to the hip dull, aching pain in the slightest awkward 
movement. But, as one wise man: "scars adorn a man. "And that's 
right, dammit! 

  In general, with my leg was all right, what could be said 
about my appearance. Merely a cursory glance was enough to 
understand that I need a bath, and wash my clothes. I was

just from head to toe is covered with a brownish crust of dried 
blood and the smell of I came one more. Therefore, any man, I 
think, when dealing with I would have thought that I was 
probably a maniac, hungry for blood, and returning to of a mass 
murder committed by me. Yeah, with that will not be ceremony 
even their ... 

  "We need to urgently arrange somewhere postirushki. - I 
thought. Vaught only which, damn it. Well, after think of 
something, and while it would be necessary to look on the 
reptiles, with whom I met Bare was not worth living. "


  Going to the corpses, I finally was able to personally 
ulitsezret what happened to zmiulantsem after my fall. Two hands

He had broken zhutchayshim way
the elbow and turned out at an unnatural angle. Broken bone 
sticking out. Plus, his face, result of a sharp contact with my 
shield, turned into one big a bloody mess, in which, at 
present, already crawling flies and other various insects. Add 
to this a deep wound on her neck ... Y-yes, the picture

received very preotvratnaya. On chest
second zmiulantsa broke bloody
spot can be seen throwing Svetomira was so strong that 
partisan, drove the in the back, punched right through him. He 
lay with eyes wide open, and from the open

jaws dropped out snake tongue. Stench
was terrific. Twisted, I turned to Svetomiru and nodding in the 
direction of corpses, and asked:


  - Tested?

  - Aha ... None. -Svetomir stood up and approached me. Para 
copies and holes in their pockets. 

  - It's a shame. -I confessed. -I would like to
get ... increase to their pensions.

  - And you still too early to think about retirement.
- Svetomir smiled. -It is not an old man
yet.

  - When our work is never too early ...
- I said, heading towards the trees. -We are literally under 
the Disability each bush lurking. Neither came there - ran off, 
is not there in the river went - Sail, not carded out their 
power-dovydelyvalsya, and so on ... Understandable. 

  - Okay philosopher, where are you headed?

  - There ... -I pointed toward the trees. -Cast wanted.

  A little deeper into the undergrowth, I chose the subject of 
his "washing" the mighty century-old oak, with a vast barrel 
and unusually lush foliage, which was filled perelivistymi 
trills kind of bird. And when it, in the words of one 
well-known song, "... it has suffered, having fun and playing 
... come stream through the rough bark ...", personally 
appeared before my eyes one of the greatest mysteries of our 
world-the birth of the elemental. 

  No, you do not think that the elemental
a rarity, no.
On the contrary, the elementals themselves are springing up 
everywhere are often, but witnessed firsthand his appearance is 
... Well, I I do not know, anyway, that finding a fern flower.


  See this is not just luck, but superudacha.

  And those lucky superudachlivym
I was, can you imagine!

  In short, before my eyes appeared a
picture. Completely absorbed in his work, I suddenly noticed a 
corner of his eye, that the right of me a couple of meters, 
rather tall grass suddenly began to be laid on the ground in a 
clockwise direction, forming an almost perfect circle with a 
diameter about a meter. On the edges of the circle

grass blossomed out on the basis of
flower buds. In general, had the
impression that blossomed large
Flower ... from the grass. Suddenly this tsenr
"Flower" in a moment cut through a bluish glow, as if cutting 
through it hole and the next thing out of it

began to beat fontanelle sparkling substance which is very 
similar to water. This is the most substance spread over the 
surface circle until it fills it completely.

Once this happens, there fontanelle
also ceased its operations. On blue surface, formed puddles, 
suddenly began to travel along a fog, shimmering in all 
possible colors, within which the flickering, weaving intricate 
patterns, multi-colored zipper. 

  Oh, it was perfect! From this spectacle could not tear his 
eyes away. It fascinated consciousness, hypnotized eyes, was 
called to plunge, to merge with this magnificence, and never

leave him. Looking at this surface, you seem to comprehend all 
the mysteries the universe, understand the complexity and

while the simplicity of this world ...

  What a pleasant ease in the body ...

  I did not keep ...

  Euphoria!

  I can fly ...

  At this point, puddle began to climb upward, forming a 
perfect cylinder silver, which immediately

began to rotate clockwise, shimmering with this, the most 
bizarre flowers. Lightning flashed its depth

stronger, forming ever new twists. At its perfectly smooth 
surface began to appear some symbols and images, absolutely 
chaotic and useless, but not for me. I read them like an open 
book ... I learned the not understandable - do not accept, for

It is obvious ... I could feel the energy
of life, every cell of your body shell (oh how she embarrassed 
me) and this energy, time and again, filled me with 
overpowering bliss. 

  Finally!

  I am omniscient, I learned all that possibly comprehend. I am 
omnipotent, I'm clicking your fingers is created and destroyed 
worlds. 

  I. .. But what really trivia, it's time to call a spade a 
spade ... 

  I am the LORD! Kneel down, you
nothingness ...

  Ah-ah-ah-ah ...

  Orgasm!

  And suddenly it all ended as quickly as it began. The veil of 
lightning suddenly fell to the ground and disintegrated into 
thousands of colorful sparks and the air was left hanging just 
an ordinary, not interesting elemental. 

  At that moment, every divinity
left my mortal body, leaving a huge void in his heart, which 
immediately filled with such sadness mixed with anger, that 
wanted to run up to this elemental and break his teeth on the 
part of the fact that he dared to deprive me of the divinity of 
... 

  Here are just a body, the body does not listen ...
Does not want to move ... No longer wishes to
be someone who a moment ago he was ready
(No regret) to bring it into
sacrifice for a drop of an imaginary deity.

  "Do-paralyzed ... I tried to lick his lips. It did not work. 
- Petty thoughts, take the above ... Why fool ourselves, this 
is the end ... End throughout everything he wanted, what he 
dreamed of. " 

  "But I do not want to die Lord, no ...
- Trying to blink. Again failed. -I
're not to blame ... I do not want to comprehend this mystery 
... I do not need any What divinity ... Lord, save me and I 
will go to church on Sundays and praise your name as long as I 
will be allowed to be on this sinful world. "


  Suddenly, to my ears heard the voice of
Svetomira, calling me from the misty distance. - Jaroslav ... 
Where are you, your mother? Go here, I found something.


  "Yeah, what about now resorted ... I'd rather you to us ... 
By the way, thank God." 

  Voice really became progressively
approach, constantly calling out to me and
shouting in my address different nepotrebschinu.

  "I wonder how he would react to me, a statue depicting" 
written in terror of God ", with the total vypuchenymmi

mad eyes, open mouth, from a corner which the land drains thin
trickle of saliva and the person which reflected all the worst 
human emotions. And what if he can not give me back my mobility 
... Evacuation! But he dragged me to the portal, or kill, so I 
ended up there myself ... "Oh, bother that for thought in his 
head climb. Perhaps this damn elemental still poured sand in my 
ball-roller mechanism, fundamentally it zaportachiv. " 

  Panic! She is coming over me completely ... Fills without 
reserve, all corners of my mind psyched.


  "Run - do not get ... Hide
- But where? "

  And the voice is getting closer.

  "We need to urgently do something. But what
damn, what? .. Jaroslav quietly, not
drift ... What was discussed at seminars in psychotherapy, have 
to think about well, what happened to you lately. Lord, I do 
not remember happened to me when something good. "


  At this point, because of the trees seemed to
Svetomir.

  - Oh, look, elemental bezhozny lying around, do not order ... 
-Svetomir touched elemental hand and he began to shrink in size 
until it became the size of a golf ball, and was then carefully 
preprovazhen in a travel bag. 

  Continuing to dig into his bag, putting the elemental, 
Svetomir whether peripheral vision, or their sixth sense 
noticed my presence and turned to I do not even raising his 
eyes: 

  - Yarik, where are you shlyaeshsya? You seem
would like to arrange a halt to lead
themselves in order. So I found a stream,
where possible and wash and odezhku prostirnut. What do you 
say, eh? -Svetomir raised Finally her eyes to me and I'll bet

that at this moment I clearly saw
as he began expanding his pupils. -
What? - He looked at himself in the back, but
saw nothing, and again turned to
me. - What happened! Hey, can you hear me? -Having said this, 
he came up to me close and held in front of my face with his 
hand back and forth. 

  "I heard ... And how hear ... But
my body at the moment, assaulted by two
the worst enemy of mankind: the complete apathy and boundless 
pofigizm ... Previously hunted exclusively of representatives 
of Homo Sapiens separately, but for the sake of this case have 
combined their efforts and, after full occupation of my body, 
is firmly entrenched in all of its key points. Now my body has 
flatly refused to obey the orders of the brain, where, nor how 
it their behavior is not motivated. "


  - Yarik, wake up! - Svetomir began
shake me by the shoulders. Suddenly he stopped, thunderstruck, 
and then slowly turned and looked at it

a place where until recently hung elemental, mumbled voice 
trembling with excitement. -Did you see it ... 

  And at that moment I decided that if that's
Now I can not give him at least something wrong sign, the price 
of a penny to me. Do not know that the conspiracy in me: 
whether military training (as used to say, my sergeant in 
combat tactics: "Bad is the soldier who, even being dead can 
not benefit his country."), or simple human feelings (which is 
neither what did not want to give this damn

"Divine" essence, which actually put me into the current 
state), but most likely these two of my "best" quality of the 
currently agreed show that if you really agonize, be sure to 
get something. I had to gather all his will into a fist. The 
voltage on the forehead of my bulging veins and the blood 
pounding in my temples drumming. For the first time in my life 
myself controlled release of adrenaline into the blood.

I even thought I feel like a
this voltage bursts of flame burn
My nerve cells ... But I had
donate it to the fire is not extinguished, because I knew that 
I had not forces will be to light it again. Brain worked

with feverish speed, sending the eyes
over and over again the same order ... Finally, when I had 
almost lost hope my eyelashes are stirred, and completely 
chutchut, but it was enough ... I realized that win in this 
confrontation and the last bit of strength redoubled efforts.

Very slowly, as if forced his way
through sticky treacle, eyelids were lowered until a fraction 
of a second light in the eyes not dimmed, signaling that this

they are closed and a moment later re-
returned to its former state. This fight lasted a moment, but 
it seemed to me that was at least an hour.



       Press 2 to continue ...

              Continued

  Still, I blinked! I managed
then all is not lost! Most importantly,
that Svetomir noticed and regarded as
affirmative answer to your question.

  - So after all seen ... It's unbelievable ... - Svetomir 
shook his head and reproachfully said. - How to, say,

as you ugorazdilo ... -Began to walk back and forth, "he said. 
-Damn! You could not have anywhere else to stay

cast, eh? Do you realize what a miracle he remained alive. 
Found than admire. Where are you interesting bore when the 
department read lectures on the nature of elementals.


  I do not know of any alleys memory
cropped up this memory, but I remembered
- These lectures were given to us in the first year
"Theoretical Foundations of magical arts, and as I'm being a 
warrior, respectively, was not a magician, then the lecture I 
skipped these, so to speak, with a net the heart. "


  - Now I have you on their hump
to haul water, until you finally
dry. Fucking asshole! -Cursed Svetomir, vzvalivaya my shoulders.

  "I hate when he swears his
professional terms. - I thought. "And what is interesting to 
me, he had only just had called." 

  This was my last idea, because
as soon Svetomir hoisted me on his shoulder,
as I have throughout the body, a wave of searing pain exploded 
in my head a fountain of sparks and I had a second day is 
completely disabled. 

  Consciousness returns, but very slowly, like a mosaic, 
folding of the individual pieces, piece by piece. I lay in the 
water with his eyes closed and felt a huge sponge, constantly 
absorbing a reviver. Enjoying

murmur of the brook and the rustle of leaves on
wind, feeling like a breath on my skin water, enclosing me in 
his cool hugs, holding hands on the floor and feeling like sand 
seeping through your fingers carried away a weak current.


  Conducting hands?! Seeping through
fingers?!

  I opened my eyes. Without any stress, as it should be. Still 
not believing own happiness, I tried to move my hand, managed 
to kick-without any problems ... All numbness miraculously 
asleep, and only a terrible weakness still continued to lord it 
in my body, but also it is gradually handed over their 
positions. 

  By adopting a sitting position, I looked around. The first 
thing that caught the eye was that I was completely naked, and 
my Launder clothes hung on a tree branch. Next to a tree near 
the fire burned which sat Svetomir and engaged

that was roasting on the fire carcass of some
animals the size of a squirrel.

  Seeing that I came to, he
detached from its lessons and with a smile
spake:

  - Ochuhalsya, "divine" you're ours. Come stamp your here, 
closer to the fire, and then you in the creek for more than an 
hour "cool" More inflammation catch it, then vozis

with you.

  I note that after my so-called "revival", when I regained my 
senses, I whole body felt that the water is nice but the cold I 
still specific. No sooner had I close to the fire, as in my 
nostrils struck the scent of roasted meat and in the mouth

I began to actively salivate.
Swallowing as the judges, I squatted down and just
heard tapping his teeth with cold cold hands stretched out 
toward the fire, keeping in This hungry eyes from the roast.


  Svetomir by tracing over my eyes,
nodded in the direction of meat and said:

  - Are you hungry?

  - Yeah. - Honestly I confessed. How-
wolf.

  - Eat Well, until hot. "He
handed me the carcass. -Eat it and tell me
how you managed to once again plunge into crap.

  The story turned short, but very
colorful, because memories in the memory
were still very fresh. Svetomir not listened to
interrupting, pretending that all fascinated absorption of 
food, only occasionally allowing himself mocking grin. 

  -... That's how I run into this, so
called, "divine". -Graduated
I. Now, over a lifetime does not wash.

  I said no, but Svetomir, looking at
I suddenly, for no apparent reason, began to
wildly neuderzhno laugh.

  - What? .. Well, something funny? -I stared at him.

  - Sorry ... - Svetomir wiped his sleeve
tears. - Just a thought
what position you was when I found you just statue fashioned 
slight shock "some. Incidentally, I have this your posture on 
fotokristall filmed. Then print, enlarge and hang on a wall in 
his future study.


  - What's that? -I have my eyes on the forehead, climbed. - I 
mean a little "horses or moved, and you are still managed and 
fotokristall fix.


  - Yeah. -Svetomir nodded. -This will be
my little revenge for all the ridicule,
I have suffered from you for
years of our work together.

  - Come on, you're bluffing. When you're me
found, I was conscious and something I do not remember to have 
seen in your hands fotokristall. - I looked into his eyes. - 
Admit it, you just decided to play me. 

  - Not at all. -Svetomir was simplicity itself .- The fact is 
that while you, as you say, was conscious, in my hands really 
nebylo fotokristalla, y I was at that moment the thought of 
such a head nebylo. This idea came from me Only after I pinned 
you to the themselves to this stream. Heavy physical

work, you know, likes to waft various
thoughts ... Well there, interesting ideas suggest. And the 
fact that drag you here was occupation is not an easy one, 
you'd better believe me on the floor. "He stood up, walked

to the creek and scooping up water with his hands began to 
drink. Drunk and wiped his sleeve mouth Svetomir continued. 
-Well, When I pinned you to imagine the stream, I visited an 
interesting idea that when we come back and I'll tell

about how I had to save your skin, you'll be all by itself to 
deny the I of course no one would believe, because in

this story is really hard to believe. So, I decided to make a
a couple of shots at the memory. Remarkable
tell you to take pictures.

  - Erase! - In horror I cried. AND
Ask what you want.

  Svetomir smiled a smile and the devil
unctuous voice said:

  - I have two news for you: good
and bad. First, bad-late rush, you're late already. Information 
has already gone to the department. 

  - How?

  - Yes that's right. I like a man visionary, foresaw that you 
would be me ask for something like that. And as I

everything else, yet the man is soft,
why take the trouble, just in case
You will be able to convince me now, about
fact that I did not have to feel sorry about this
later. Therefore, the contents of fotokristalla sent to the 
department. That's it. 

  - Oh, no. -I suddenly ached left
shoulder and I started massaging it. -I
do not survive ... Holy, I have now
stroke would you think about it.

  - Do not be. - Seeing my efforts
Sveomir said. - Stroke hurts
head, not the shoulder.

  - And at what if your shoulder aches?

  - When a heart attack. By the way, get dressed,
Clothing must have dried up.

  - Thank you, comforted. -Feeling clothes,
"I said. - By the way, you said that
there is good news, and what
it?

  - The good news is, information
went into my personal file, which, while I
alive, can not open one, except me.

  - While you're alive. -How to spell "I repeated. - That is, 
as long as you're alive, "and if ...


  - If you die, or rather if the relationship with my
personality matrix for any reason will be lost, "interrupted my 
Svetomir. - All information from this file go to a central 
"steam bath" and then will be printed and given to analysts.


  - Holy tell you saved me specifically
to then slowly and painfully kill? Groaning, I said, putting on 
myself pretty rough after washing clothes. -Yeah, God rewarded 
the sadist-mate. 

  - Okay, do not dramatize, ludshe meet promptly ... We are 
because of you so already order delayed. Incidentally, I have to

you a present ... - With these words he
handed it to me, blackened with soot, a torch. - I've found 
here, do not throw the same, and you can come in handy. 
Suddenly you will be in the very dark hole, where you and place 
will be at least than shine. 

  - Much obliged. Your care about my well-being, there is no 
limit. I quipped, prilazhivaya torch next to his arms and hung

all that stuff behind your back. -Let 's awake, we need to get 
to the tavern until not dark.


  Svetomir rose to his feet, shook himself
and thrown over the shoulder travel bag,
said the enthusiastic voice. -I
ready.

  - Well, then moved.


         to be continued (maybe).
