It was the last lesson, Labyrinth. Lets go there, their mentor replied.
Well done, Ull, friends shouted to him, we have passed!
Arpad quietly whispered in Kateys ear: This is the purpose of the tests and teachings, what would they feel all together, that it was WE who passed, and not I passed. Katey imperceptibly nodded to the ataman, lightened up.
And then, after the passage of Ulm the Labyrinth, something bitter happened. Ull completely lost his mind, spoke to everyone only in an imperative tone, did not recognize anyone, and when they tried to attack him in order to instruct Katey and Pal, trained fighters, the guy scattered both of them. Four tried to approach him, he was able to incapacitate even four. Ulla, like a bear, lured Gong into an ambush, the guys threw a fishing net at him, his hands fell into mesh cells, and his left leg too, and they pulled the earth out from under the enchanted bogatyr, and he poked his face into the ground, rolling his curls in the mud, he roared, straining his arms and legs, but the rescuers had come to a halt and had already pulled off the ropes and leather straps, so they pulled them to the guys torso.
What is the matter with you, boy, Arpad stumbled along the cheek of a madman, Remember, our friend, our hope, repeated the voivode, crouching next to the fallen man, what can we do with you?
About sister, witch, we forgot, mentor. We will send her a message if she does not help, and I dont know what to do, let Seven decide then.
Gun, carry the bark and wrote, Knut, Tal, Arius and Sirac will sail for Elicia, gifts, carry all that we, the mammoths have a tooth, jade bowls, all for Pryakhs and for Mara. And you Gong drive, youre his friend, and youre the most talkative of us. But be careful, take care of Mary, and if the tales of Ella are at least half true, then keep your mouth shut and pity for pity, because her brother fell ill. But who knows what Pryhahs did to her, and Arpad I grabbed my head with my hands, I will sail out to send the youngsters, and he jumped off the stone, but Katey and Tal kept him.
Ataman, it is impossible, you made a vow, The island will not leave without the order of the Seven.
The pressure of the mentor weakened, and he no longer burst from the hands of his warriors, only took a breath, and everything looked and looked intently at Ulla, and straightened the belt with a dagger, then laid his thumbs over the belt.
Okay, Gun, he sighed again, although this sigh was more like a whales exhalation, you can handle it. Lets bark here.
Arpad began to write:
Mare from Arpad bow and hello.
Please send Ella to us on Buyan Island,
With Ulls bad, he himself is not his own, became obsessed,
will not recognize anyone. On her one hope that his
cure
Here, take the message, and he took the ring, smeared with soot, and put a seal on the bottom of the inscription. Gun took this message, put the letter in a leather bag on its side, and the detachment followed the boat, which stood on the shore near the pier. When the gang came to shore, Arpad went to the boys, and hugged everyone on the road.
One hope for you, and he smiled faintly, Ilios is a witness, there has never been such a thing here. Do not try to drown on the way, we are waiting for you from the Virgin Island here. Take a couple of jails just in case, and Pal put two long spears in a boat. In the meantime, the young men dragged the raid out by boat.
Wait for us in four days! Gung shouted, jumping into the boat to be friends.
Come on, and stood up at the steering oar.
The oars struck to the beat, ripping up the water surface of the Frozen Sea. It was calm, as if the weather had conjured up, and the rowers tirelessly quickly worked with oars, and the mountain and the eternal mists of Alatyr Island seemed to appear. The pitching was small, and Gung noticed that Sirac was tired, replaced him on the bank, and began to row together with Tal. It did not remain long, the pibrya line appeared, and slow waves crashed against coastal stones, raising heaps of spray. There was another paddle, and the boat passed over the pebbles, and the youths jumped out of the boat, kneeling in the water, but their leather pants did not allow water to penetrate and wet the heated bodies, but they felt the cold of the sea right away, and grabbed the boat by the edges. The feet of the youngsters in their boots slid over the stones under water, the pupils breathed loudly, and at the cry: And once! with a jerk, they dragged her to the shore, and carried her about a dozen more steps, so that the waves would not damage the ship.
Whats next, Gun, he asked, like a senior, Sirak, a forbidden island, men cannot go to their abode. Visit Alatyr? No one would believe.
Well, the mountain can be seen from here, now we will connect two forts, and we tie our jacket to them, then they will notice.
Not bad, Arius praised, take a spare belt from me, and handed it to his companion.
Gong leaned over to the boat, took out his spears, put them on the stones, leveled, his friends supported the boiscels while he tied them with a belt, slipped the belt in the buckle and tightened it, and then wrapped the spears tightly, and got a five-meter yarn, and tied his jacket with a rope, and the sleeves of his jacket, too, and hoisted his improvised banner over himself, Arius stood next to him, supporting the flag on the left, Tal stood on the other side, and did not believe his eyes, the wind arched the fur so that Guna turned out of the sleeves, fur collar and wide floor of Gunas garb GRIFONA.
Griffin is coming
The younger pupil emerged from the cave, opening the door and the canopy, it was colder and more uncomfortable outside than the warm hearth, but she had to go to the spring and get some water. The girl straightened the hood on her head, removed the braid under her fur coat, and took the leather buckets and went to the stream. She looked around, it seemed to her that in the distance, on the shore, someone was there, and looked closely, and saw on the pole next to the figures of people, a banner of signs. Griffins banner, the girls hands opened up by themselves, and the buckets hit the stones deafly, and she promptly opened the door of the aisle, and ran along the corridor, but did not make a sound Marys lessons affected, and ran into the upper room, gave a bow to her elder, touching the palm the right hand of the floor finally said softly:
The griffin is here. -What are you, Uta, spoke quietly, but threateningly Mara, Did Uryok Pryakh hear a lot for the night? Tomorrow again you will go around the island traps, and yet she got up from the seat.
Come on, show.
And the two of them passed through the corridor of the monastery, and went outside, toward the bright sun from the dim light of the upper room. Uta showed her hand where she saw the banner, Mara turned there, and saw what was expected.
They went girl, lets see who Lada brought here.
And they went over stones, somewhere covered with low grass, and small tongues of the earth, where the grass grew thicker. Mara, in her excitement, took off her hood, her legs buckled in her lap, she was afraid not to hold out and scream, but Uta distracted her, and she didnt want to show her horror, and was afraid to see what she had to do. They approached five young boys, one of whom was holding an improvised banner in his hands, while he himself was without a jacket in the wind.
