From that the very moment he entered the Forest, he was not left the feeling that someone was behind him observes. But behind a thick veil of water it was impossible to see anything, and the sound of the rain drowned out all other sounds. However all three days Marlock felt someone presence, and even, it seemed, a couple of times noticed strange flashes, but with such the weather could not be guaranteed. And now Marlock acutely felt: someone else very close. He looked behind the tree and I saw a familiar black beast, cautiously getting closer. Gigantic the wolf covered the divide between them in one leap distance, but hesitated, finding himself next to Marlock, and that second turned out to be enough for the sparkling sword to describe semicircle, cut the monster in half. young man looked at the disappearing ones with a quiet hiss remains and thought aboutreason forcing these the creatures of Death freeze before him in indecision. Marlock remembered his mother, who was known in the village as a witch and who mysteriously disappeared a year before father's death, but is the mother's efforts already two times they saved his son’s life, he didn’t know. Feeling that, standing still, he was already I fell ankle-deep into black mud, Marlock hastened to move on. According to their own According to calculations, he had to make it before dark get to the Bloody Marsh. Caution avoiding particularly large puddles, Marlock walked forward and recalled the conversation that he I heard it by chance a week ago. ... That morning turned out to be warm and sunny. Elder Zeddicus asked Marlock to collect medicinal roots, and he was happy to wander around mountains. Marlock liked living here, but past events still weighed heavily load on him. The physical pain is gone leaving only scars on the body and face, but the mental pain still reminded itself. young man was grateful to Zedd for his kind attitude, because the old man introduces him to herbs and surrounding nature, but he wanted go back to your village, see what what's left of her. When he thought about it, a dull feeling of revenge began to boil in his chest. Marlock left contentedlyfar away, but felt that their house was approaching several people. This ability detect the presence of living beings, seems to have been with him from birth, although Zadd said that even talented magicians should efforts to develop this skill. Marlock suspected that Zeddicus himself was a wizard, although not very tall rank, since he lived only in a small house in the mountains. Marlock tried to talk on this topic, but Zadd preferred remain silent or found something for him urgent work. And now, sensing someone's presence, he hurried home. Already near the door Marlock I heard my name and, becoming interested, stopped. - Marlock is not ready, he’s still quite child,” it was Zadd’s voice. - But you yourself said that no one but him can’t cope with this matter,” he said again someone. - Yes, I did, I still think so, but you need to wait at least a little. - You know what to expect - an unaffordable luxury for us, especially now that Zandik seems to be able to move your army through the mountains. “That’s absolutely accurate,” he entered the conversation. third voice. - Mishakal stones in hishands, and he has already let a piece of Life into army of the Underground Kingdom. - We prepared for this day for almost ten years, and when it came, we have nothing to oppose the army of Zandik, - it was Zadd again. - I need at least week to prepare Marlock. - Okay, then today I’ll go on a hike. Sir Edward, and let us hope that he lives up to his nickname. - He can't do it alone. We need two more person and one of us. The one who can save the diaries in case of danger. Marlock had already rushed forward to declare about your desire to participate in the upcoming march, but a heavy hand fell on him shoulder It was Ulrich, the barbarian from the islands, who came with Zadd from his travels and now living in these mountains. “You shouldn’t disturb them, baby,” whisper Ulrich could probably be heard a hundred meters. - These people know better than us that do. Marlock obediently remained in place and soon I saw six people come out of the house in expensive clothes. He followed them out and Zeddicus. - Hurry to warn the Mountain Guardians and return to the kingdom, your help needed by the High Council. Five people nodded silently and began rise up. They are simplyslid through the air without making any movements. Yes so quiet that Marlock didn't hear anything, Zadd said a few words to the remaining magician, and he, having flown over the abyss, disappeared behind turning. Chapter 4. A bright flash behind the trees interrupted Marlock's reflections. After a dozen steps the trees parted and revealed traveler's wide stripe of scarlet colors. On the other side of the Bloody Marshes a man walked in a black canopy and time from time to time released fiery fire into the air balls. This activity seemed to amuse him. Moreover, in the center of the Forest there was no rain, which seemed to Marlock quite strange. And then he noticed his goal - a small book bound in gold. It was for her that Zadd sent him, it was about This book was spoken of in ancient manuscripts. The book contained knowledge that would allow awaken the Magic of the Earth and the sprouts of Life. The wizard also hoped to learn from her how to defeat Zandik. The magic of the Book was so ancient and strong that no one could destroy her, without first destroying all life inCountry. Zandik couldn't even keep this book in his tower, for his tower was a product of the forces of Death. All that was a great master of magic is capable of protect her as much as possible from encroachment who want to get this book. What is he and did, placing it next to his tower, surrounded by a swamp of the blood of dead warriors, filling the forest with many of his servants. And if servants of Zandik, thanks to a wonderful gift, Marlock was not noticed, then from the quagmire some kind of hands or something appeared tentacles trying to grab everything they can able to reach. But that’s not why Marlock came here, to retreat shamefully when the target is already so close. Especially if you own levitation spell. Deciding that the guard on the shore he will be quite frightened by the huge army marching towards him, Marlock unleashed cast an illusion spell and flew forward. Black the canopy was really scared and, no without even releasing a single fireball, ran into the thicket, towards the tower. Tentacle hands could not reach the floating man, and now Marlok is on the other side. Next to The Book of Life is another, smaller one. This the same diary of the magician who went to the last week, together with Sir Edward nicknamed 'Lion', to the tower of Zandik! One more good luck today. Isn't everything too successful?does it add up? Marlock would have preferred more serious battles for these books. But now this is not the time to think, you need to take the Book Lives and diaries and quickly leave from here. Not everyone can touch Books of Life and stay alive. How would It didn't sound terrible, but the Book takes away take the life force of people who are not ready for it take or intend to use it to evil. In any case, the Earth Magic itself decides: isn't there a lot of hatred in you? has your soul been filled with black envy? whether the hand of Evil has closed your eyes. And there is only one way to subjugate the ancient Magic. Marlock relaxed internally and said a spell to help clear your thoughts and open your soul. And let the ancient Magic, dissolved in it, but retained his 'I', my memory, although flashed before there are thousands of ghosts of long-dead people and called with them, calling a thousand names and showing pictures of long-vanished worlds. But they all passed, but Marlock remained in the middle of the starry sky, right there top. And other ghosts appeared angry and scary, they tried to throw off Marlock from the top, take with you to a boiling black whirlpool pierced him body with thousands of arrows, but even here he resisted. And suddenly all the stars went out. Stickydarkness filled all space, even the air began to disappear, being drawn in by this Darkness. Marlock began to choke, and suddenly, obeying some impulse, threw it away hood White strand on his head radiated a bright light that dispersed the darkness and filling everything around... Suddenly everything stopped. Marlock knelt in the middle of the Bloody Swamp, and in his hands it glowed dimly Book. "I was able to do it!" - young man excitedly ran his hand over his face. But what is it? Where did the scar go? His thoughts were interrupted by the appearance earlier escaped warrior. Seems like an illusion ended and he was in a hurry to deal with violator. etc...
