The seer turned out to be a much more serious adversary than hurt fanatics in the guise of angels with cudgels. Albina moved with tremendous speed and agility. Under her mad pressure, Thur began to retreat little by little. I really wanted to intervene, but even more I was afraid that I would just blow off my head in one blow.

A hail of blows fell on Thuru, which she barely had time to block: blood spurted, bits of flesh flew, wounds instantly filled with black slurry — the keeper constantly fought for the life of her bearer.

After one of the series of blows, Thur fell on one knee - Albina grinned slightly, intending to deliver a crushing blow. Thair rushed forward, throwing herself into the long legs of her rival. After a moment, Albina is in the air, and then with a terrible crunch, her back is imprinted into the floor. As soon as the fight went to the ground, I and even Anya also rushed into a fight. But the seer was in no hurry to give up, although she was at a very disadvantageous position.

Breathing, groans, sticky blood covers our bodies, muscles contract in inhuman efforts. A clawed hand digs into my ribs and rips the flesh down to the bone, barely flashing, the pain immediately disappears. At the same time, a long spike pierces through my shoulder.

Using numerical advantage, we finally managed to immobilize Albin.

- Wow, here it is, you parted! - Suddenly came the shocked voice of Dasha, who somehow got out of a trance. - Blood is how much - horror!

- Can you help us with something? - I croaked, holding the right leg of Albina. - This is your grandmother!

- Um, she's actually my great-grandmother.

- Oooh!

- Okay, okay, drag her chair, - said Dasha. - I have one idea.

As soon as we threw the kicking woman into the nearest chair, black stripes stretched out of it and tightly swaddled the enraged seer.

- What happened to you? - I asked Dasha. - I sat and stared stupidly into nowhere until your granny let us loose the guts.

- Yes, I hung a little. This chair connected me to some information system, and there was so much there ... - Dasha began to explain with a thoughtful look. “But I still didn’t understand almost anything, there’s some kind of incomprehensible language.”

- Why didn't it work on us? - Anya asked, trying to scrub the blood on his stomach.

“Probably, it took me for her,” suggested Dasha. “In the end, I'm not exactly human.”

“Well, the beast is your great-grandmother,” said Thur, feeling her ribs. - Just a chop out of me did not.

“Nothing, now she is tightly bound, she cannot get out of this chair,” Dasha said, poking her finger to Albin cautiously.

The visionary tied up at her hands and feet moaned angrily and tried to twitch. She could not speak because of one of the black stripes that covered her mouth.

- Well, with the seer we figured out. How do we use it now? - I said, waving his hand in the direction of the ball hanging in the air.

“Hmm, it seems to be done like this,” said Dasha, pointing her finger at the glowing points on the map, after which strange icons began to appear there.

“We need to eat first,” said Teira. “The wounds are so easy.” We can just use the portal through which Albina passed.

- What shall we do with her? - Anya asked.

“Take with you,” Dasha said thoughtfully.

The chair was also able to move: it had a lot of small legs, on which it nimbledly moved towards the yellow circle. True, we are so tired that we barely paid attention to such a curiosity, and just one by one passed through the Albina portal.

On the other side, we were waiting for the most common house for Tenebris, located just near Black Lake. Very large, apparently not subjected to changes at all, but the internal situation was like in a mansion of a millionaire.

- Oh, ho, ho! - exclaimed exclaimed Anya. - The Providians live richly in Tenebriz.

Albina moaned protesting when we collapsed on her expensive leather sofa. It seems she did not like that we use her things in such a dirty way.

- It seems to me that Albina wants to say something to us? - I said, fidgeting bare ass on the snow-white surface of the sofa.

“Probably, he says that we should feel at home,” Anya suggested in a phlegmatic voice.

“I’m more interested in whether she has something edible,” said Thira. - And because of the wounds, I have already lost ten kilograms, my keeper urgently requires energy to restore the body.

“I’ll find it now,” Dasha said. “Surely she has a fridge here.”

Soon, with greed, we devoured real earth fruits, cheese, sausage, yogurt and chocolate, washed down with juices and some expensive wine. Teire most of the products was a wonder, especially she was surprised by the bright wrappers, and she never tried ice cream in her life. Dasha undertook to paint to her the features of earthly food, considering herself a great expert in this matter.

- Oh, we must feed our captive! - suddenly remembered Dasha.

She released Albina mouth and brought a bottle of milk. She greedily drank it all and looked unkindly at Dasha.

“Now set me free, I'm your great prophet!” - Albina tried to put pressure on her authority.

“Oh, I don’t want something,” Dasha replied in a caricaturally serious tone. - Besides, your position of the seer always seemed to me utter nonsense. And I consider your stupid rules and the exclusive right to the secret of the work of the “windows” to be terribly unfair and counterproductive.

“Frrhh ...” Albina snarled angrily.

“But I’m ready to forgive everything if you show a little desire to help us,” Dasha said and stuffed a loaf in her mouth.

We found the bathroom and finally washed off the skin with sweat and dried blood. We were left without our clothes, so we had to use Albina's wardrobe. Thira simply turned into a terry robe, which barely covered her massive figure. Anya liked some way to dress. And I had to wear a dimensionless T-shirt with silly flowers and spacious sports shorts.

- Now it is necessary for my beloved great-grandmother to tell us something! - rubbing hands said Dasha.

- We kind of got everything you need? Thira asked.

- In principle, yes, but to quickly deal with everything, you will need some information. Although Albina could not use this round thing, she had been watching her for a long time. First of all, we need to find out where we are located on the planet, otherwise I didn’t understand there. If we get the coordinates, then we will not have weeks to deal with the maps and poke at random on the model of the planet.

“I don’t think she is in the mood for conversation,” Anya said.

“Nothing, now we will wash her and start interrogating her,” Dasha said cheerfully and dragged Albina into the shower.

She did it again with the help of a strange black device, which we called the chair. In any other way, Albin would have been extremely difficult to restrain. But, to our luck, Dasha managed this chair as easily as we and our guardians.

- Done! - Fifteen minutes later, Dasha reported.

After her, a chair crawled into the room with a naked and washed Albina lying on it.

“And what shall we do with her?” - Anya asked uncertainly.

“First you need to return to the control center,” Dasha answered. - And there everything will depend on whether it shows our location or not.

We again used the portal, which was located directly in the house, and returned to the spherical structure located at the bottom of the lake.

Albina is still very unkindly looking at us, from time to time trying to test the strength of black stripes surrounding her body.

- Well, so how? - Dasha asked, sitting down next to Albina.

“Hah, little mess!” - smiled arrogantly ... Read more →
