Oddities of life. Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Training is a useful thing, but in moderation, at least I thought so. But our nasi thought quite differently. An elderly elf named Taylar wished me and Mai to run thirty circles around the castle, for a warm-up! Do you understand the warm-up? That is, this is only the beginning of my suffering! Of course, you can and rejoice not knowing the size of the castle! As I thought the nightmare was just beginning, this monster for the sake of persuasiveness dropped on us his "dogs" with large sharp teeth, which they were shaking in our direction. For about five minutes he walked back and forth and telling something.

- Mai, is this your first training or do you already know how to fight it? - pushed in the hip of Maidry, standing next to me, I asked in a whisper.

- I do not want to upset you, but the first ... - staring at the beasts, the elf replied in a whisper.

- What are you up to? Quickly outside the castle and ran! I explained the route to you!- Snapped the old man. And we ran outside the fence and rushed away from the "sweet little dogs" that were catching up with us. As they say, in order to save yourself from the bear, you must overtake a friend, which I tried to do, but I do not just know this wisdom. Since Mai also ran pretty fast. On the tree I noticed the flashing figure of Taylar, it's wonderful, then it will not turn out, but we will try, we are clever. Our route ran around a small lake, about five kilometers from the castle, so Mai told me, then we need to run back and run around seven circles around the castle, which was about the size of Red Square. Halfway to the lake, my breathing began to lose, and the reason for this is very simple, I always skipped physical education classes and generally did not run so much in my life. The elf was already quite far away from me, but he kept turning back to check where I was. It's nice of him, especially behind me there's a growl and louder. Aa-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, the doggies are catching up! I do not like running with obstacles, do not like it, do not like it, do not like it! Gathering all my strength into a fist, I rushed to catch up with Maidre. When, finally, I caught up with him and we ran along one line, the most ill-fated lake loomed ahead.

- Mai, and these dogs can swim? - I asked in a stunned voice.

- No, and what is it? - The elf turned his head slightly to my side. Hooray, justice!

- Run to the lake! - I turned to the lake, I yelled. And here we are at the goal, the lake is literally a couple of meters, right in front of me.

- It is better not to do so, but it's time for us to fade away! - Maidre understood my words and dived into the water behind me. In the middle of the lake we emerged and admired the little dogs that ran around the pond and viciously growled at the water, trying not to touch its edge.

- Why do not they like water? - Strangely, but for some reason this very issue got into my stupid head and just now.

- There seems to be something on the bottom of it. ... - lying on the water in the form of an asterisk, Mai said, but immediately realized that he said and jerked me by the scruff from the pond towards the shore, where the dogs were already lying in wait for us Well, like dogs, big animals like wolves, only with big fangs and drooping ears. So, stop, did he say there was something in the water? Idiot! I did not say! I began actively rowing toward the shore, it's better dog than an unknown crap. When I felt the bottom of my feet, I stepped on a fairly large branch of the tree. Oh, something viciously chuckled in me, bringing this same cudgel, I, like not normal, although why, I rushed to the dogs. There are brains in dogs, they glanced at each other and ran away from me. Too late to drink Borjomi, when the kidneys fell off. The elf remained standing on the shore looking at me in perplexity. I almost caught up with one of the dogs, when I was grabbed by the scruff and how the kitten was raised above the ground. Taylar looked at me, obviously furious with my behavior. I smiled at him with my firm smile in thirty-two teeth, which, in principle, can not portend anything good. In short, in vain I cracked the elf on the head with a cudgel, again I was convinced that I must first think and then do it. We flapped, I and the carcass of our nasi, from a height of about a meter or two. Or rather I flopped, and already on me the body fell. It hurts, of course, well, nothing. By this time, Maidre came running. It was funny to watch his eyes take on the sizes of saucers.

- What have you done ?! - screamed running up to me and pulling the carcass of nasi from me, Mai.

- He is to blame, I was afraid of the suddenness of his actions. Well, I aimed at the dog in the beginning and the situation is so formed and turned into this ... - it's not good to lie, but it's vital, like this. Already from a sitting position, I watched the reaction of Mai.

- And now what i can do? He will go to my father, and he is terrified in anger .... - The elf clutched his head and sat down on the ground.

- Let me think think, where do we put the corpse? - The brain, that's what you're awake now? Go on sleep and without you are doing great. Why does Mai look at me like that, does not he understand jokes? - Yes I'm joking! As woke up, say some nonsense, for example, hit his head on a branch that he did not notice when he ran after me to rescue the dogs. Or something else ...

- Well, well, it seems like a it is logical , but he will not believe it. Above him you know how many small scoffs ... - Fi'elu Jr. turned his head to the crunch of branches. Shit, the beasts came to the master. But strangely enough, they did not growl at us, but began to caress. I did not get that? What's this? Sly crafty plan against us with such a beginning, where a dirty trick ?? Poking into the approaching dog, I was convinced that this is not a glitch. Maybe they originally wanted to make friends ... and then growl why, okay. We spit on the logic. Peace, friendship, gum!

- Maybe we can take him to the doctor's room. Tell Taylar my version of events. Well, or that he overheated in the sun. - rising from the ground, I looked at the ruffled Maidre and smiled sweetly at him. You can not to be nervous because of some garbage. And in this life, all the garbage, hehe-heh.

We returned more slowly, without running and panicking. Our nasi was still off, which greatly simplified our task and explanations. I carried Taylar by the feet, and Mai by the hands, behind me there were two dogs that were already completely petted and were ready to lick me from head to foot. That's the kind of train we reached the castle, the elves who meet us on the way shied in different directions. That's right, let them be afraid. Already on the territory of the castle dogs were taken away, and wonderful. In the hospital wing, Taylar was taken away from us and put on the bed.

- What happened?- Asked the elf, dressed in a green gown with gold embroideries. It looks like a doctor, well, the show begins.

- Our nasi, he ... he banged his head against a tree branch! He wanted the dogs to save! He ran so abruptly, we did not even expect ... With .. it will be all right? - I trembled, I said, now and then sobbing. And now let's have a tear for persuasiveness. It worked, the elf stroked my head and smiled.

- Of course, everything will be fine, the bruise is not strong, tomorrow you can continue your training. I'll tell Taylar that you brought it and what happened. So do not worry and go get some rest.

- Thanks, thank you very much! - the enemy is crushed, the account 1: 0 in our favor.

Our journey from the hospital wing to Mai's room was short-lived, just crossing the threshold of his room, I immediately fell to the floor, face down.

- Why are you falling? - giggling and sitting down beside me on the floor, asked the elf.

- I do not fall, I lay down sharply.

- I did not expect that you would round your finger around our doctor, he's picky, but to you he believed so easily.- Mai looked at me admiringly.

- I have an inborn charm. By the way, where do Miktian and Nadal live in? We also need to come up with desires, otherwise it's not good somehow, we suffer, and they relax ... - turning over on my back, I began to consider the ceiling.

- You still do not have enough of Taylar?- Laughed Maidre and leaned on the bed. God still exists! Mike and Nad fell into our room, both laughed, I wonder why.

- Why are you laughing, victims? - giving both a skeptical look, I asked.

- We saw you through the window, why is so cruel with an elderly elf?- Said the demons, continuing to laugh in chorus.

- Whoever is cruel ...- I mumbled.

- Did you forget that you were lost and we have desires that need to be fulfilled? - slyly looked at the brothers Mai. Young man, thats my school. There's nothing to neigh here. Demons immediately changed in the face.

- And what does your soul want? - Looking at me, asked Nadal. That's why he have to squint at me? Nothing is written on my face.

- Well, twenty desires, so I guess ten to me, ten to Mai, yes? - I looked at the elf, he only nodded in the affirmative.

- Well? - Mike could not stand it now. I will torment you, torment you as well as us that monster. And then a great thought crept into my head. From what I disgusted laughed, it attracted attention, so I was already looked at by everyone.

- I know what you will do, my dear ones. - we stand a pause, heat up the situation, oh, how they fidget. - You will engage with us, and the entire run are carrying us on your hands. Or is it better to incite the little dogs to you? What do you think, Mai?

- Let them carry, physical loads are useful for the body. - A malicious smile crawled to the elf's face.

- No, think of something else. I disagree.- Nadal, Nadal, who will listen to you? You do not know me at all.

- Refusal is not accepted, Mai comes up with the following desire, because to me laziness ... Go on! - Laughing at the expression of Miktian's face and Nadal's fruitless attempts to change my decision, I reached out and sat down so that everyone could be seen better. Time before lunch we decided to spend in the room, telling jokes, even held another contest "Who is funnier than joke", of course the competition is also on the desire. We decided to play with teams, suggested it to Miktian and Nadal. Whoever jokes laughs ridiculously removes one desire, if it's Mike and Nad, and if it's me and Mai, then we add the desire, but not to ourselves. Thus, when the time came to dinner, Mike was added five desires, Nad took a couple and added a ten from Mai.

At dinner the whole family of Fi'elu was again gathered, all the guests were treated very well, and me, even as a native. As soon as the servants brought food, I and Mai attacked her. So what? We have not eaten anything since morning, and a run of ten kilometers is not a joke. Amaael looked at us carefully, as if we were little ones that did not understand anything.

- How did the training go? - an unexpected question, Mai and I both choked and turned their heads, looked at the Axelellon. He knows something, that's for sure.

- Oh, well ... - I decided to take the attention of the lord, all the same I am to blame for the incident, although not, not me. Taylar. He is to blame, yes. I'm not selfish, brain! Lie down and go to sleep, it's better when you off!

- Nothing bad happened? - he definitely knows.

- Yes ... - Oh, my God, my lips are twitching, it's bad. Turning back, I took a sip of herbal tincture.

- But why is the Honorable Taylar now in the hospital wing? - in vain I drank, coughing, I caught a glimpse of Maidre, mda-ah, the boy turned pale.

- You do not know? He banged his head against a tree branch! So it's a pity, even the training was not finished ... - once play, then play to the end! I need to die with music, in my case, fanfare. Music to me.

- Hmm, good that you brought him back. - sparkling with eyes Axelellon continued the interrupted meal. With a sigh of relief, I hurriedly filled my stomach. Sticking stress is not my favorite pastime, but this occupation is delicious.

The rest of the day was spent at the company of Maidre, Miktian, Nadal and twins Fi'elu, Ikkiel and Nelva. I told them all the rules of the game of hide and seek. The twins really liked this idea. We decided to play almost throughout the castle. Guess who drove? I? No, Nad was the seeker. When he began to count, all fled in different directions. At first I ran after Mai, but then lost sight of him and shrugged, decided to hide in another place. Walking past the closet that was in the wall, I was grabbed by the hand and dragged into the closet. I was frightened, because it was more than unexpected.

- Ts-s-s-s-s ...- He pressed his finger to my lips and sniffed ... who could it be, if not Miktian. The idiot scared the dumb, I almost died of fear. I nodded and removed his finger from my lips.

- You scared me. - I hissed at the demon. And what does the closet do in the corridor, especially empty? So, we do not bother, if there is, then we need it.

- I'm sorry. - Mike said softly, and seemed to smile, because I saw something whitish. In the dark can not make out, but like teeth. There were footsteps that made us tense and silent, do not even breathe, demons and elves have a good hearing, I already understood this. The footsteps stopped when they were very close to our closet, thirty seconds of silence and again the steps, only already retreating from us. We sighed together with relief. The door of the closet opened sharply and Nadal's grinning face looked at us.

- Gotcha! - Nad shouted at the victoriously-elevated tones.

- Only us or everyone? - I, of course, a little upset, but I'm glad that we were found.

- Only you two.- Listening Nadal said.

- Then there is nothing to rejoice so much, go on we need to find the others. Lead the way, Susanin. - I crossed my arms.

Sighing, apparently accustomed to my statements. He does not ask "what does this mean?", "And this?". Wandering around the castle was accompanied by comments from Miktian and me, for example, "Oh, the kid can not find anyone ... poor fellow " or simply giggling, if only because we walked in circles in the same place, even I understood this with my topographical cretinism.

- Do not like it, lead it by yourself! - flared up, you're what kind of, not by the rules decided to act, you will not get anything from me.

- We do not violate the rules, so you lead, lead, you look for a year or two later, you'll find someone. - Miktian laughed, but I heard another quiet grunting chuckle, coming from around the corner. It seems that not only I heard it. Nadal went there and already laughing from the corner came Ikkiel and Nelva.

- Are you always so cheerful?- Asked the twins in chorus.

- Well, how to tell you .... Yes, well. - the girls giggled again and took me by the arms dragged somewhere.

- Uh-uh, where are you going? - Miktian was indignant.

- We want to show Ariadne our room! - Girls threw Miktian and showed him the tongue.

- And what about your brother, we have not found him yet. Maybe we'll finish it, he seems to have even won. - especially not resisting, I said.

- He's hiding at our place ...- twins said quite quietly. Interestingly, they always say in a chorus or is it for my honor? Probably always. The demons heard us and slowly followed us, making a bored look.

- Okay, lead me, sweethearts. - the girls, as if just this and waited, broke off and ran down the corridor, continuing to hold my hands. We rushed to the room, as quickly as if we had a train. I would never have thought that I could develop this speed, even with someone's help. In the room, lying on the bed, Maidre quietly dozing. The twins let me go and came from different sides, jumped on brother. He made an incomprehensible sound and opened his eyes, throwing off Ikkiel and Nelva. A little later he noticed me, i was sliding down the wall to the floor. The legs somehow buckled themselves and refused to move further.

- I found you ... hehe-heh. - I said, waving Mai hand.

- And where can I go? I know all about it by heart ... - sitting on the bed so as to see me, the elf spread his hands to the sides.

- What shall we play now ?! - babies asked with interest.

- And let's play tomorrow, I ran into my limit already, to be honest. - Smiling tiredly, I scratched the back of my head.

The door opened and Miktian and Nadal, breathless, came into the room. Nad still had a triumphant remark, but I did not listen to her. I wanted to sleep terribly, so I started crawling from wall to door. I asked someone to take me to the room assigned to me. The first to volunteer to take me to my room was Ikki and Nelva. After washing and changing clothes, I collapsed on the bed and immediately disconnected with reality.
