HIGH SCHOOL OF LIBRARY 5

CHRONICLES OF BOOKWALKERS

Chapter 1

There is no such thing as a good morning, even if it is the morning of the first day of autumn. And it is especially unkind if you had fun with friends until late the night before. And let the hangover does not torment, but you still want to sleep ...

A black-haired, shaggy monster slid down from the next bed, moaning, hobbled to the kitchen cabinet and greedily clung to a jug of water. I watched my neighbor through my eyelashes and categorically did not want to get up.

Get up, witch, - the monster croaked.

Nope, I said dully.

Let's go to the shower, - Lola rubbed her face. - Soon distribution, textbooks should be received. And Ivar will show up. It is necessary to prevent scuffle.

Do you think... it will? - I sighed, remembering how once the Fiend scooped me out of the shower stall to look at my hand.

Aha-ah-ah ... - Lolina yawned with a long yawn, covering her mouth with a graceful palm. - It is with you that he is soft, but otherwise he is the highest derkhan. Rivalis be beaten today.

Listen, - I said thoughtfully, - but what do you think, is it at least theoretically possible that for my sake Ivar will go against the traditions of the family? He will let go, although this is not practiced and cannot be, and will spit on the fact that he needs two boys. Suddenly, in principle, I can not reproduce the boys into the world? I'm a witch, girls like me are born. After all, the gift is transmitted through the female line.

No, Kiryush. And don't dream. Even in my family tradition is sacred. No options!

Okay, I nodded slowly. - Well, if we allow a tiny chance that if I cannot accept the fate prepared for the wife of the head of the Stensi family, then for my sake Ivar will refuse the inheritance and ... Well, I don’t know. Shall we live somewhere together with him, not dependent on anyone?

Do you yourself believe in it? - mockingly snorted the neighbor. - What for the sake of you, a poor, rootless human girl, the highest derkhan from an old noble family will refuse a colossal fortune, vast territories and a ducal title? Really?!

Well ... - I looked down, - in books, fairy-tale princes usually do just that, if there is no other way to be with their girlfriend.

Fairytale fool - it's you, forgive me! - the mischievous derkhan laughed. - Cyrus, sometimes you blurt out something, at least stand, even fall. It seems like an adult girl, she managed to get hold of a son of elven appearance and is older than herself in years, but you believe in fairy tales.

Understandable, I said. - So, the Bunny will be beaten today, but at the same time, with the Monster, a priori, nothing good will shine for me in the future. Shine!

It was under such “rainbow” thoughts that we gathered and preened. Then Teltina ran in, and the three of us went to the lawn in front of the main building of the HSB. There was already a table with a “globe”, schoolchildren were pulling up, looking forward to the next entertainment. All our guys, except for Ivar, were already in place. Slightly rumpled, with red eyes from lack of sleep, but on the whole quite cheerful. Oh, to patent my anti-hangover potion! Just a megathing!

After watching the distribution to the end, our entire company leaked inside the main building in order to have time to get the timetable and books faster.

Everyone had their own plans for the day. I anxiously awaited the arrival of Ivar. I felt a little guilty, but at the same time I was angry, nervous and afraid. In short, a complete set of girlish reflections. Some of the guys needed to go to the city on business and shopping, some just needed to take a walk, and I was going to visit Larissa. And then they left the poor housekeeper and went about their business.

However, everything went completely wrong ... Namely, Ivar Stensi appeared to the people.

Our whole friendly gang gathered on the lawn between the dormitory buildings, so that later we could fall out of the school gate together. And it was at this moment that the derkhan appeared with Gavryusha on his shoulder. The fiend was walking with bags from the main building, probably just having arrived at the teleportation tower, and when he saw us, he waved his hand. To be honest, my soul went to my heels, and the first thought was: where and how to hide the Rivalis ring. Because ... because it's scary, damn it!

Kira! - having caught up, the guy called out to me in his usual detached manner. And don't say you're bored. Probably still offended that I left him. - Guys, hello!

Gavryusha also waved his paw at us, amiably tossing his tail with a pipe and depicting with his muzzle a semblance of a lemur smile. The people responded in a discordant chorus, everyone clearly felt out of place.

Hello, - I smiled, getting more and more nervous. Oh what will happen now...

No... I don't understand! - dropped the Fiend, looking at my hand.

Y-s-s! Had seen! Right away...

Ivar, this is ... - I began to mumble, but no one was going to listen to me.

Rivalis! he barked, throwing the bags to the ground and sending his familiar there as well. "Did I warn you, you bastard?" Well, I asked in a good way ... As I tried to communicate with a normal adequate guy ...

Derkhan's face began to change rapidly. Scales crawled down her cheeks, her jaw began to move forward, and her shoulders splayed out. Shirt cracked...

Ivar, wait! I yelled, clutching his arm. Let's talk, I'll explain everything. Is not…

Kir-ra! - the fearful monster growled, shaking me off and tearing off the torn pieces of his shirt.

The guys were saying something, the frightened Gavryusha was squealing in his animal language, Karel was trying to intervene. Lolina, gesticulating violently, also loudly explained to her compatriot that a fight would not solve anything, and he needed to discuss everything with me. What nothing such it didn't really happen that he misunderstood. Yes, I screamed the same thing. But ... The Fiend finally blew off the roof. He did not even try to delve into our words, ignoring not only the guys, but also me. Everything I told him and explained to him, he simply did not hear or did not want to hear.

And then he rushed at Reeve, and it was scary. Really scary! Because a slender, thin elf had nothing to oppose in a fist fight to a scaly monster with spikes on his shoulders and elbows. But not to use combat spells against a friend?

The guys intervened, trying to drag the Fiend away from Rivalis. Evart flew off with a slashed chest, Jurgis landed next to him, crouched. Karel, Maldin and Gaston three of them hung on a brutal turf... Ivar lost control over himself completely and completely, he was not fighting with his friends now, he was... killing.

It was so wild and unpredictable that none of us even thought to put up shields. After all, they did not fight with the undead, but with Ivar, with our good friend. With one of us! Nobody could have guessed what would happen. such. Bunny, of course, was preparing for what he would get in the jaw, as from Karel, but then he would explain, and everything would go back to normal. No one even thought that the Fiend could fall into a berserker state and stop perceiving reality.

The students who witnessed the incident screamed in panic around. The mantle of one of the teachers flashed by ...

Ivar! You will kill them! - I yelled in despair, rushing to the derkhan.

What was I hoping for? That he won't touch me? That he loves me and can't hurt me? That I can get through to his fury-blinded mind? Will I distract? Can I save a minute for my friends? I don’t know myself ... I just got madly scared and tried to do at least something, because it was because of me ...

Ivar! Stop it please! Listen to me...

Without looking back, the derkhan put back his bent left hand to block my way, and I ran into this hand with acceleration and did not have time to slow down or deviate. Considering our difference in height, the huge spike on the elbow of the Transformed Battle Beast dug into my neck.

I don’t know what happened next ... I still heard heart-rending girlish cries, gurgled a couple of times with a torn throat, and the world spun and died away. It seems that I died, at least the light at the end of the long dark corridor beckoned, called ... It was only necessary to take a few steps. Just a little bit, and I will see what shines there. I would like to believe that I will get to the place where good girls are transferred after death. After all, I did not have time to sin so much. But those who say that at the moment of death all life flashes before their eyes are lying. Nothing flashed, there was only an unbearable tearing pain in the neck, and then this calling light ...

There was no way to leave. An unknown force dragged him back, holding him back, forcing him to return. The light receded until it died out completely, and I fell into black nothingness. And it was damn embarrassing! I could get to Paradise, if, of course, restless witches are accepted there. And so...

From time to time, quiet voices reached me from the darkness.

I'll just look and leave, - someone said crackedly.

Yes, she wakes up, ”a gentle girlish voice answered him with a sigh. - You don't know Kiryushka? She's a living thing. People like her don't give up so easily. You'll see, though she's a human being, she'll outlive you and me. Especially the Master...

Chapter 1
About the unpredictable consequences of rash acts and about the fact that you should not climb arm in arm with angry derkhans

"Get up, witch," the monster croaked.

“Nope,” I said dully.

“Let’s go to the shower,” Lola rubbed her face. - Soon distribution, textbooks should be received. And Ivar will show up. It is necessary to prevent scuffle.

– Do you think… it will be? I sighed, remembering how once the Fiend scooped me out of the shower stall to look at my hand.

“Yeah-ah-ah…” Lolina yawned with a long yawn, covering her mouth with a graceful palm. - It is with you that he is soft, but otherwise he is the highest derkhan. Rivalis be beaten today.

“Listen,” I said thoughtfully, “what do you think, is it at least theoretically possible that for my sake Ivar will go against the traditions of the family?” He will let go, although this is not practiced and cannot be, and will spit on the fact that he needs two boys. Suddenly, in principle, I can not reproduce the boys into the world? I'm a witch, girls like me are born. After all, the gift is transmitted through the female line.

- No, Kirill. And don't dream. Even in my family tradition is sacred. No options!

"Okay," I nodded slowly. “Well, if there is a tiny chance that if I cannot accept the fate prepared for the wife of the head of the Stensi family, then for my sake Ivar will refuse the inheritance and ... Well, I don’t know. Shall we live somewhere together with him, not dependent on anyone?

– Do you believe in it yourself? the neighbor snorted derisively. - What for you, a poor, rootless human girl, the highest derkhan from an old noble family will refuse a colossal fortune, vast territories and a ducal title? Really?!

- Well ... - I looked down, - in books, fairy-tale princes usually do just that, if there is no other way to be with their beloved girl.

- Fairy-tale fool - it's you, forgive me! - the mischievous derkhan laughed. - Cyrus, sometimes you blurt out something, at least stand, even fall. It seems like an adult girl, she managed to get a son of elven appearance and is older than herself in years, but you believe in fairy tales.

“Understood,” I said. - So, the Bunny will be beaten today, but at the same time, with the Monster, a priori, nothing good will shine for me in the future. Shine!

After exchanging greetings, we arranged ourselves so that we could see everything that would happen. I wonder who will join our ranks this year...

Everything went as usual. Welcoming speech of the rector, timid first-year students, cautiously spinning the "globe", their joy or disappointment, depending on which faculty they ended up in. There were surprisingly few magicians this year. A whole bunch of future detectives, a little giraffe, science fiction writers and a little bit of people for other faculties. There were no action movies from the fantasy genre at all, which was strange. Even the head of the school expressed his surprise, while Master Lucas Arron was completely puzzled. No, the stern dean of the militants, of course, did not say anything, but his face showed that he was perplexed. Does he not have a first year this year? How is this possible?

After watching the distribution to the end, our entire company leaked inside the main building in order to have time to get the timetable and books faster. We were not the only ones so smart, so there was already a small queue. Then the library, huge piles of textbooks (I, as usual, the most). This year it was easier to drag all this wealth to the hostel. Well, we're kind of almost cool - levitation, telekinesis and all that. So we walked from the main building to the residential buildings, accompanied by piles of books hovering behind us, to the delight of freshmen, to the envy of non-magicians, and as a reminder to those who forgot that they can do it too. Ha! It’s just that Karel and I have Annushka, who, even in a world without magic, beckoned luggage behind her with her finger, and did not carry it in her hands. A good example is an incentive!

However, everything went completely wrong ... Namely, the first thing that happened was the appearance of Ivar Stensi to the people.

- Kira! - having caught up, the guy called out to me in his usual detached manner. And don't say you're bored. Probably still offended that I left him. - Guys, hello!

“Hi,” I smiled, getting more and more nervous. Oh what will happen now...

“No… I don’t understand!” – dropped the Fiend, looking at my hand.

Y-s-s! Had seen! Right away...

“Ivar, this is…” I began to mumble, but no one was going to listen to me.

- Rivalis! he barked, dropping the bags on the ground and sending his familiar there as well. "Did I warn you, you bastard?" Well, I asked in a good way ... As I tried to communicate with a normal adequate guy ...

Derkhan's face began to change rapidly. Scales crawled down her cheeks, her jaw began to move forward, and her shoulders splayed out. Shirt cracked...

Ivar, wait! I yelled, clutching his arm. Let's talk, I'll explain everything. Is not…

- Kir-ra! - the already fearful monster growled, shaking me off and tearing off the torn pieces of his shirt.

The students who witnessed the incident screamed in panic around. The mantle of one of the teachers flashed by ...

- Ivar! You will kill them! I yelled in despair, rushing to the derkhan.

- Ivar! Stop it please! Listen to me...

I don’t know what happened next ... I still heard heart-rending girlish cries, gurgled a couple of times with a torn throat, and the world spun and died away. It seems that I died, at least the light at the end of the long dark corridor beckoned, called ... It was only necessary to take a few steps. Just a little bit, and I will see what shines there. I would like to believe that I will get to the place where good girls are transferred after death. After all, I did not have time to sin so much. But those who say that at the moment of death the whole life flashes before one's eyes are lying. Nothing flashed, there was only an unbearable tearing pain in the neck, and then this calling light ...

From time to time, quiet voices reached me from the darkness. Someone swore, slightly raising their intonation, and then, frightened, subsided.

- ... All evil from women! one of the speakers said.

- ... The women are to blame for everything! - echoed another.

Then, judging by the sound, someone gave these debaters a resounding slap in the face, and it became quiet.

There was another conversation, which, of course, I did not hear in its entirety.

“I’ll just look and leave,” someone said crackedly.

“May she wake up,” a gentle girlish voice answered him with a sigh. - You don't know Kiryushka? She's a living thing. People like her don't give up so easily. You'll see, though she's a human being, she'll outlive you and me. Especially the Master...

What some master did there, I did not hear, again I swam away into my inky non-existence.

And then suddenly woke up from a feeling of wild hunger. It felt like I hadn't eaten in days. Grimacing, I sneezed and opened my eyes. She stared at the white ceiling in bewilderment, then glanced around. Oh how! I'm in the infirmary ... It's interesting, so she didn't die, but these evil Aesculapius starve the girl. The chaos is complete!

I fidgeted, with a groan, rolled over on my side, pulled the pillow higher and, mentally groaning from terrible weakness, moved with difficulty to a sitting position. Fu-uh! It’s hard, like… It’s like running a marathon, already sweat came out from the effort.

Catching my breath, I straightened my hospital gown, began to recall the events that led me to this place in my memory, and, remembering, shuddered. Ivar, the fight, the injured guys, me, who crashed into the elbow of a distraught derkhan... Oh, mother!

The hand itself rushed to the neck and began to feel it. So, the throat is fine, no bandages, no scars, which means that the doctors were in time and mended me. It's good that there is teleportation. Never in my life would I have been saved - with a torn throat - on Earth. Neither paramedics nor resuscitation would have helped. Only a miracle!

While I was examining the injured part of the body and reflecting, the door silently opened and Karel entered the room.

“Ki… Kira!” He sighed and rushed towards me. - Woke up! How can you… How dare you die?!

In an instant, my partner crossed the room, fell to his knees beside the bed, grabbed my hand and pressed it to his cheek. And he had such an expression on his face ... And you won’t understand what is more: wild joy that I came to my senses, fright or anger at the fact that I was again (hell, really, again) was going to leave him forever.

He did not have time to answer, because, having heard his voice, Rivalis and Maldin immediately burst into the ward, followed by everyone else, except for Ivar.

Noise, commotion, Lola and Tina sobbing with happiness and relief, Bunny beaming with an insane happy smile, excited guys ...

“V-edma, you are shameless!” Lolina wailed, sobbing in relief and smearing tears mixed with black mascara down her cheeks. How dare you die?! Scared us all! You have no shame, no conscience! How are we without you? And Ivar? He is a fool, of course, a psycho jealous. But do you have any idea how he felt? He killed his girlfriend...

– Lola! - also softly sobbing, pulled Teltin's raging friend. Then she thrust a handkerchief into the sobbing derkhana, and she blew her nose noisily, spitting on all her aristocratic manners.

- Hey how are you? - Revalis asked Karel, who grabbed my hand, pressing his knee and sat down on the edge of the bed.

- I am hungry! Thinking, I whispered. "And why did you bury me?"

After all, I didn’t go into that tunnel into the light? Didn't leave! So, she didn’t die, but only slightly lay on the edge. People have been lying in a coma for years, and no one is in a hurry to write them off. And at death that just does not show up. Why are they talking like I'm a zombie? Died... Killed...

My last question silenced everyone. The guys began to exchange glances, and I didn’t like it at all. Frowning, I stared into the eyes of my partner. And let him just try to lie to me!

“Kiryush, we didn’t bury it,” he answered with a sigh, looking away. - It was you who died. When the magisters and the healer arrived, you... well, you were already dead. For real…

“Yeah,” I blinked, realizing. Still not on the verge... - That is clinical death. I understand. So, the light at the end of the tunnel seemed to me not in vain. – How did it all end? Are you okay?

- What are we? – shrugged his shoulders, shifting at the threshold Jurgis and stroked the head of his tear-stained girlfriend. “We were also taken here, patched up and released in the evening. Not the first time such wounded. Reeve got it the most, they held him for a day.

- Bunny, how are you? I asked the elf.

“The main thing is that the ears are in place,” Rivalis flashed his teeth in a smile. - If anything, you can’t sew them back on and new ones don’t grow back. And everything else is nonsense.

“And…Ivar?” I asked a question. - You made it up?

“Yes, we have reconciled,” the elf’s smile faded. “Really, he…avoids us. Only to you here goes as to work, sits and looks. And if one of us appears, he immediately leaves. Karel and I explained everything to him.

- And I! Lola calmed down. - I told him everything, and about the fact that you were scared and panicked, and that this engagement was not real, but within the framework of your agreement with Rivalis. And that you yourself wanted to talk to him first, but did not have time, since he arrived late. And he…

- When he saw you there ... on the grass, in blood, with a torn throat ... - choosing words heavily, Maldin spoke, - as if he had gone crazy ... Immediately took on a human form and ... screamed so ... And he kept staring at his hands, and they after all, in the blood ... They also put him in the infirmary, pumped him up with sedatives and put him to sleep for a day.

Everyone looked down, and I got the feeling that they were not saying something, but I did not press. They let me out, I'll find out for myself.

“I tried to explain to him that this was a tragic accident,” Karel stroked my arm. “Everyone saw what happened. There were a lot of witnesses. But he… blames himself. Said that…

“Karel, don’t,” Teltina called out to him quietly. Let them talk for themselves. You saw what happened to him. No need…

The degree of mood in the ward dropped significantly, and I decided to transfer the conversation.

- Will they feed me? she whispered demandingly. - Feeling like you haven't eaten in three days.

One week, dear! Rivalis snorted. - Only, I'm afraid, except for the broth, nothing shines for you.

“Kira, how can you be so heartless? Tina said reproachfully. - We were worried, Ivar was going crazy, and you are talking about food ...

“Tin, you were worried, and I died,” I said, ceasing to smile. “What’s the use if I start to get nervous and worried again now?” Somehow I do not want to go back to the other world. I’ll go away, refresh myself ... And in general, it’s better to smile. I can still cry.

“Forgive me, Kirill,” the elf flushed to the tips of her ears and looked down. – I didn't think. It's all nerves and ... Monster zhalko, we're friends. He's a psycho, but such an unfortunate psycho. And he has…” She raised her hand to her hair, but did not finish.

Our friendly get-together was violated in the most unceremonious way. The chief healer, Master Lithaniel, entered and dispersed everyone. She said that I can’t talk so much yet, the affected vocal cords are not ready for the load. And yes, you need to eat...

I didn’t mind about “eating”, although in fact it turned out to be “drinking”, since they gave me a deep broth with rich chicken broth and a spoon. By the way, it would be better if they singled out a cocktail tube, but my hands are shaking from weakness. How do I handle a spoon? Given this, I asked permission to have a partner sit with me. Making pitying eyes, I whispered to Magister Lithaniel:

“It’s hard for me, but he will help ...

- Okay! Slowly, she nodded. - But don't talk!

She herself called Karel and launched him back into the ward. I winked at him, holding out the dish, ordered him to hold it and feed the unfortunate hungry girl, because my hands do not obey me well. In the meantime, I sipped the warm broth, which my partner obediently regaled me with, ordered me to tell.

- What to tell something? the partner asked.

- Yes, we are already in general ... You fell, Ivar looked around, saw you and immediately returned to a human hypostasis from shock. I started shaking you, and when I realized that ... It was scary, Kir. I even felt sorry for him, although I myself was lying nearby, he slashed my shoulder. The teachers came running, Master Novard, Annushka. She touched your neck for some reason, her fingers were covered in blood, I saw it. Another master Zakarius rushed in, he cast some kind of necromantic spell on you, I did not understand. Something about the soul, so that it does not run away. You didn't have a heartbeat.

- AND? I hurried, as he fell silent.

– Magister Lithaniel quickly healed the wound on her neck, because it was fatal, and restored all the vessels. You wouldn't be able to breathe in that state. They were going to take you to the infirmary to try and get your soul back into your body, only... Cyrus, won't you swear? he clarified apprehensively and made a movement as if he wanted to move away.

- Mmm? I rolled my eyes at him.

“I struck you with lightning,” my friend told me the stunning news.

- Why?! I hurried. - And most importantly, how? We haven't gone through this...

- I don't know how. I was so scared that it happened on its own. What for? You know, I always dreamed of hitting you with lightning for all your antics, ”he joked, and nevertheless moved back a little.

Chapter 2
About the defibrillator, Annushka's unexpected revelations and a difficult conversation with Ivar Stensi

– Cyrus, remember, you told me about the defibrillator from your world, which is used to start the heart if it has stopped? And about clinical death, which, in fact, is a reversible stage, a transitional time between life and death. And that you are pulled out of such a state without any magic. The main thing is that the time should be no more than three to five minutes. Here you go. I thought that quite a bit of time had passed, your heart was not beating, and your throat had already been restored. But while the masters would try to return your soul to you ... And it’s not a fact that it would have happened. More precisely, I thought this later, and at that moment I was in a state of passion, and the only thing that surfaced was that lightning is electricity, because you yourself told me so. So, if you hit you with a current, that is, lightning, then your heart should beat again. Well, I ... twice.

- Well, you ... actually, - I breathed.

- But it worked! Kirill, it worked! You… ahem… got so pissed off that you arched like an arc, and then… Well, in short, your heart started to pound. True, then I got so much from the masters, oh! When I remember the thrashing that they gave me ... The rector almost killed me, the head doctor hissed and promised that she would not treat such a bastard like me, who mocks at the corpse of a partner. Annushka ... It turned out to be easier with her, she interceded and explained everything to them. You know, I think she's been in your world or similar ones.

- And if I was charred from your "two times" ?! I threw up my hands. She looked at the spoon, tore it out of the hands of her "breadwinner" and cracked him on the forehead. - It's lightning! Holy porcupines! Yes, I probably had braids standing on end in full length from such resuscitation. How did I not crumble with ashes?!

- Sorry, - rubbing his forehead, which suffered from cutlery, his beloved partner confessed. “I tell you, I was in a state of passion. Cyrus, you can't imagine how horrified I was. I didn’t think anything at all, I just saw your bloody, lifeless body and understood that if you were gone, then I had no reason to live. I just can't do without you. I panicked so much that ... But in general, I'm not such a strong elemental to release a discharge of such power that could incinerate. I myself do not understand how, in principle, he managed to create lightning. And don't worry, I've already been punched in the face for this. Twice…

- Who? I burst out.

- Rivalis and Maldin. But then I explained everything to them, and to the rest too. And then Lola and Tina intended to scratch my eyes out.

I shook my head with a smile.

- Horror! So, okay, but what about Ivar?

- Avoids us. He apologized, handed gifts to all the guys, well, who suffered. The weapon is good, of course, not like your sword and dagger, but very worthy. The guys are from poor families, they themselves would never be able to buy anything like that. I also got it, although we all refused. And then everything. Escapes from conversations, immediately runs away during breaks, sits away from Jurgis and Evart at lectures. He blames himself for everything and believes that he is dangerous to others.

“Actually, it’s my fault,” I said sadly. All because of my stupidity.

“Talk to him,” my partner stroked my arm. - He is very ill.

I just nodded. I'll talk, of course.

They kept me in the infirmary until the evening, after which they kicked me out with a certificate stating that I had to lie down for two more days and that I was not allowed to attend classes for that time. All teachers were warned, so I had only to follow the instructions of the doctors. And in order to fully relax and eat right, it was decided to send me to our mansion with Karel. This is what Annushka ordered. She came to check on me, looked me up and down with a calm expression on her face and said:

“You look disgusting, Zolotova. You do not suit the appearance of a striga at all.

From such a statement, I even suffocated, and the dark fairy continued:

- I hope in your immediate plans death no longer enters? After watching me shake my head frantically, she continued, “That's good. And, you know, you wouldn't be able to do it anyway.

- Mmm? I muttered.

- You, Zolotova, extremely tired me with your ability to get into trouble. You just have an amazing desire to die. Either in the castle you rush to the artifact of Primordial Darkness, then you activate another ancient artifact that sucks magic from everything around you, then with all ... ahem ... you fly into the spikes of the derkhan in combat transformation with all your ... ahem ... strength. But this is not enough: your partner from a great mind decided to finish you off with lightning. And this is Karel Westov! An example of sanity and calmness. I'm not even mentioning all your attempts to jump off the cliff while escaping the dragon and other art.

“But I didn’t do it on purpose, master! - in a whisper, but I was offended from the bottom of my heart.

– Yes, yes, I know. You, adept, like a cat, have nine lives? Not? However, it doesn't matter anymore. You see, Zolotova, I'm not used to losing students. This is a blow to my reputation, and I value it very much. Therefore, while your lifeless body was lying around and frightening those around you with a torn throat, I had to take action. Very timely, by the way. If I hadn't had time while Magister Lithaniel mended the wound, things might not have ended so rosy. Your partner was extremely irresponsible, although I understand his motives. But the forces must be balanced! With those discharges that he managed to release out of fright, it was possible to burn down a medium-sized village.

I stared at her, completely not understanding what it was about and what she had managed to do. But she wound it up. Wow Karel! Defibrillator, damn it!

So, Zolotova. I have two news for you, good and bad. I'll start with the bad. You now have to live a very long time. I can't even guess how much. Now the good thing is that you will never grow old and you will not be able to kill yourself in your usual stupid manner, because now you have regeneration, like me. I suppose even if you jump off a cliff and smash into a cake, then after lying down for a while, get up, dust yourself off and go about your business.

“Ahh…” I nodded slowly. - And why?

- Zolotova, but it's obvious! She raised her eyebrows, looking at me with disapproval. - Or did your mental abilities atrophy after death? This would be very upsetting.

She admired my amazed face, because I really did not understand anything. Have I become a ghoul? Zombie? An immortal pony?

“Adept,” the dark fairy said with a sigh, “it’s not so difficult to guess what could lead to such metamorphoses. I poured some of my blood into your wound. Not enough to make you like me, but just the right amount to mutate your body a bit. But now you will have more strength, you will be able to study much more and will not be tired as much as before.

So it's the last one. I'm now an immortal pony...

- Golden!!! Master Kariboro flashed her eyes indignantly. "No one has ever insulted me like that before!" What do you allow yourself?!

Oh, it turned out I whispered the last one out loud.

- Master, what are you! It's just a phrase from an ironic rhyme of my world! I am in no way... You know how much I respect you! And thanks! I ... sorry, I didn’t think anything bad and didn’t mean it!

- What is the verse? - the teacher of bestiology and fairies asked with displeasure.

- ... Horses die from work, but I ... an immortal pony! - I finished, rattled off the entire verse, which in my world is known to any Russian-speaking person who is on the Internet, and blinked guiltily.

- Well, well, pony ... See you at the weekend. You have a lot to catch up, classes have been going on for several days. And you missed not only them, but also the annual ball of the beginning of the year. Tell the address of your house with Vestov, I will open the portal.

- Master! I called. - And now I look like this forever and stay? A nineteen year old snot? But how to grow up, blossom, prettier?

“Adeptka,” Annushka arched an eyebrow in surprise. “I said don’t grow old, not grow up and mature.” And then, what do you need cosmetics for? Dress decently, do your hair, make-up and look as you wish.

I mentally figured out that, perhaps, this is not bad. I can always look older if I want to. But younger - here you need to try hard. Having comprehended, I dictated the address of our mansion with Karel.

There, the dark fairy passed me from hand to hand to the anxious Larissa, who already knew Master Kariboro. The housekeeper listened to the instructions and swore that everything would be carried out exactly. Then she helped me up to the second floor and fed me regularly for two days with lungs, but very delicious meals and gave medicines by the hour to restore the vocal cords and raise vitality.

But there were no guests. Only Karel visited me, the rest were not allowed on the threshold, so as not to disturb the patient, that is, me. But on the other hand, in two days in bed, I completely rewrote all the notes given to me by friends, read the chapters of textbooks, the contents of which had already been told in lectures. You need to catch up.

Larissa also brought an envelope to my room, which Rivalis brought. It contained a small letter from Princess Clayton. I don’t know what Zaichik told my parents about what happened, but they were worried about my well-being and wished me a speedy recovery. Lady Lariel also reported that Mishka was already studying and he really liked the school, and she carefully watched that all the books he read were enchanted from the spontaneous formation of portals. And at the end of her letter there was a postscript in a clumsy childish handwriting with a bunch of mistakes, blots and the complete absence of commas. It was evident that Mikhalindar was not yet very good at reading and writing words, but he was trying. For a week, he really could not learn anything. My ward was worried if everything was all right with me, because he felt something bad, but he could not understand the sensations. The elf ended his message like this:

“Mom Kira, I try and blurt out obscenities, but you don’t even dare to go to hell. I really need you, I'm worried about you. Take care, I'm waiting for a letter. Your teddy bear Mishka.

I read these sincere words with a smile and, probably, for the first time since this little boy became mine, I felt something warm and related to him. So strange, there is someone for whom I am a mother ... I honestly wrote the answer to both Lady Lariel and on a separate piece of paper - Mishka. She assured me that nothing irreparable happened to me, she just got sick, and wished the kid success in his studies and praised that he was doing well and I already see progress. I delivered the letter that same evening through Karel so that Reeve could send it home and put everyone at ease.

During these two days, my health was completely restored, my voice became the same, and with renewed vigor I returned to the Higher School of Economics in order to immediately join my studies. It remained to find Ivar somewhere on the territory of the school, because he was absent from the room. Or he didn’t open it to me, which is also quite likely.
