Game room - Novella and the description of the game "DEMON'S REVENGE".

  (C) Gleb Rozum, 1997.



  ... I'm going to the east. I go for a long time. My boots
rubbed, cloak begun to leak, and in the backpack wind looking 
for crumbs of bread, there is a long time no. An evil wind. As 
far as I remember, he was always like this - angry, cold and 
hungry, consuming the last heat of the traveler. 


  But it was not always the case. The old men told
that their grandfathers remember a time when the east
came the heat. Came to light, so big
that and a thousand fires could heat the as
he said. And the sky was clear as spring water, and
Lights of Hope, now more rarely occurring
from behind the clouds, then called Lights of Faith - Faith,
that light will always come and warm
land. No one believed the old windbags.


  Believe them, my uncle and went to the east, yet I
not born. And gone for a long time. I have been allowed to 
carry a sword and standing on guard, and only returned to his 
uncle - very old. Its settled in a house in the suburbs, and 
went about the house tenth road. Once I visited my uncle, wore

food and a secret from all studied magic. Brother
My father returned a decrepit old man, but
powerful magician.


  He told me of lying far to the east
strange land called the Land of Light and
became terrified of understanding occurred woes.

  One day, when even our great-grandparents were children,
Lights the Faith froze in the sky, chained cold
who came from the east. People waited in vain Light.
Powerful sorcerers who lived in the east, wanted to light is 
always served them and not leave them Edge. They froze the 
lights the Faith, to those ever sleeping on other lands, not 
letting go light. 


  My uncle made it to the ground, warmed by eternal
Light and got into the service of one of the magicians the 
east, having managed to please him. Magician uncle taught 
magic, instead of requiring that all remain in themselves at 
the service at the castle. 


  It was terrible service - uncle of the oldest in the three
times faster than my father, stay at home.
Learned he was ill at the magician, but most
valuable was the ability to read magic runes. Uncle
able to read the Book of spells of his master
and learned how to release the Light. An ancient spell
one of the first seven spells, could move
ground up and this move earth firmament
must be reset to the consternation of Lights of Hope -
Cold Light custody.


  My uncle did not have time to utter a spell in the room where 
books are stored, there was her boss. Magician was furious 
betrayal of his beloved servants, and longed for the massacre. 
But his favorite was already not a novice in the magic and 
could fend for themselves. The battle began. Battle Mages. 


  Shook the walls of the castle, bent trees, groaning
land. Smoke and soot covered the Light.

  My uncle could not long resist the one
of the strongest wizards east. Deciding to save his life and 
knowledge, he caused the hurricane, and caught up to them, flew 
to the west. Home. 

  He barely had enough strength to move himself through the 
mountains surrounding the valley where we lived. He had a long 
walked until he was picked up our horse guard.



  All this is my uncle told me, in the intervals
Between lessons, magic, which I studied
willingly and diligently. I've always been inclined to
learn and easy to learn to read the runes of ancient magicians 
who wrote to my teacher. I've been able to cast spells, even 
without knowing what fate prepares me cousin.



  And so it happened an event which I was destined to
remember the details until the last of his
day.


  One day, replaced with guards and typing of food, I
hurried to his uncle, expecting to hear amazing new stories. 
Suddenly, a deafening thunder, low clouds lit up by bright 
light. I saw from his house came my uncle and

raised his hands to the sky, showed me at the next flash, a 
very long and ugly tentacles. He did spell unknown to me, 
because I had felt, and poured over our heads and intensified 
glow. 


  I had no time to look around and see what
do other residents. I'm all eyes looked at
my teacher, lost its human face.
Before me vyrostalo monster. It was not
my uncle. Rising on his hind legs and tearing off
remnants of clothing, a servant of the eastern magician turned 
in my direction. In my head, someone familiar whispered:



  - Light magician east bestowed on a visit.


  I could not squeeze out a word, and stood
terror-stricken. Monster raised its head to
clouds and bellowed greetings to her master.

  Sky replied to him an eerie howling, with a cumulative
each heart beat. I remember I had time to think
that no one will survive this nightmare, we all
perish, except that my uncle, no longer the person will survive.


  From behind the clouds burst stream of fire and rushed 
straight us. And almost immediately rushed out to meet him

Monster hug bright lights. They knocked
above the ground and could not understand that there
happens - the light dazzled and clutching my thunder
head. Finally, my courage came to an end and I
fell senseless.


  Nobody knows what happened to my uncle
after a battle with Eastern magician, no one has seen and
most of the battle. Only the ruins of houses and a fire 
engulfed the city tried to convince jaded people that This was 
a nightmare come true. None of my relatives have survived, and 
many had similar grief. Old men cursed place where he stood 
over our city and All the survivors with all their belongings

moved west.


  My way lies in another direction - to the east. His uncle 
described in greater detail its way to the Castle and explained 
how to find a room with only one book - the Book of Spell ...
