what you saw in a few minutes, it took more than two hundred years. All this time, Alex and I tried to save the people of Atlantis from devastating and bloody wars. All this time, our friends, our contemporaries, stubbornly sought us out. One of them succeeded. Drago! I ask you here! - the dragon in the guise of General Torah did the same pirouette as Leah, and stood beside her, - and now it's time for Alex and me in our time. I believe that now General Rustam will be wise to rule you.

- Leah, why are you leaving us? Stay with us and drive further Atlantis increasing its power and lead us to prosperity, - Rustam went down on one knee in front of Leah.
- Get up, General Rustam, - Lia lifted the general from her knee, - from now on you are ruling our country. Wisely rule over Atlantis. I ask everyone to think and maybe someone will wish to settle families across the Earth. But never forget that you are all from Atlantis.
- Lia, is it really that bad in Atlantis, and in your time everything is fine, that you leave us?
- General, do not pour salt on my wound. It's hard for me to part with you.

“Dear inhabitants of Atlantis,” Drago said, “I understand you, but you must understand Leah.” There is only one country in your time. Not even the whole planet, but only a country. And let it be highly developed and beautiful, but this is just a country. And in his time, General Liya is the chief of staff of the Alliance of many civilizations, - the dragon launched a hologram, showing the Alliance meeting, where more than thirty different civilizations were present. There was a sigh of admiration for Rustam.

- Just imagine: CIVILIZATIONS! Not individual countries, but entire civilizations. And do you think the warring alliance will not take advantage of the absence of the brilliant commander of General Leah? As a result, the destruction of the Earthlings civilization is possible. Do you really want to destroy your grandchildren, your descendants?
- Lia, I believe and do not believe that this is possible. Isn’t it? Maybe you are forced to leave us? So we will all stand in your defense, - Rustam only made an imperceptible movement, and all the fighters jumped into the arena.

- Not. My family. No Rustam. I want to go back by my own will. Everything Elder Drago said is true. How do you prove? - Leah thought.
“Lil, now the robots will drag the kameniuki into the arena,” I said telepathically to Lia, “turn them around.”
- Good. I will now prove that it is impossible to force me. Where are the robots with granite?

The robots dragged into the arena a stone “egg” about ten meters in diameter and not less than ten in length. And polished parallelogram (measuring 2m by 2m and 1 meter high). When the robots moved away, Leah reached out to the stone "egg", which rose and stood on the point. Then she showed her hand down, and it began to slowly load. When about half of this “pebble” remained on the surface, Leah commanded:
“The fighters, so that you have no doubts, ask them to come and see that this is really granite,” everyone came to feel, some even sparks with swords, “now I will ask to hold hands around the stone, but close.
Several fighters "hugged" this stone.

“Hold each other stronger,” Lia, with the help of telekinesis, raised a stone with fighters hanging on it about a meter above the surface and began to unwind. The fighters hardly held each other by the arms, and their bodies were almost horizontal from centrifugal force. Someone could not resist and disengaged the seizure. The dragon (more precisely, General Thor) managed to catch all and smoothly lower it to the ground. Then I flew to them in exactly the same pirouette.
“Just a minute, Leah.” Give me a little exercise.

Spun this stone like a gyroscope, then in the other direction. Instantly stopped, then destroyed it into small crumbs. Some came up and tried to touch.
“Guys, but stand aside,” after a while, a “snowball” came out of this granite crumb. When everyone touched they were convinced that the baby had once again turned into a granite ball, gave movement to this pebble and it fell far into the sea.
“General Leah, please give me your sword,” the dragon asked. Leah took the sword from her belt, got down on one knee, and solemnly held out the sword with both hands. Thor took the sword, carefully examined it.

- Dear residents of Atlantis! Each of you saw the power of your Leah. The power of your descendants is enormous! Alex plunge your sword into this stone!
“But this is impossible,” thought Rustam. And I calmly walked up to this stone parallelepiped and easily drove my sword to the stone at the very handle.
“And now the fun begins,” continued Thor, “try to get him out of there.” Though one by one, though all together.
The fighters rushed to get the sword out of the stone. It's good that Rustam just watched, and did not twitch like the others. They even tried to pick out with their swords, but all is useless.
- It is enough to suffer. Alex, can you take your sword, - I took out the sword almost without straining, - everyone saw it ?! Then watch! - he thrust Lee's sword into the stone, too, to the very hilt, - if there is a hero among you who can take this sword out, then he can rule the whole world. And now you will be led, as Leah said, dear General Rustam. Free residents of Atlantis! Read it and do whatever it says. This is your time, it belongs to you, use it wisely. Leah, your descendant. It is more necessary in its time. So let's arrange her lush farewells! Walking! And let this stone rest in the distance for the time being, ”under the influence of Drago, the stone rose several meters, and then, as if released from the sling, disappeared with a whistle from the eyes.

Drago, Leah, Ney, and I left behind and returned to our box. And in the ranks of the audience swept rapturous. After that, the robots quickly changed the look of the arena, turning it into a scene. And the songs and dances began. This concert was already going on for half an hour, when Phaeton's telepathic warning sounded in my head:
- Commander, on the object 863 possible attack.
“Show the aggressor,” answered Phaeton in the same way telepathically. Actually, the good thing is telepathy. I sat at a concert and mentally examined the army approaching our vanadium mine. For us it was not dangerous, but those few thousand fighters will find their last refuge in the form of charred coal in front of the mine’s territory. I would not want extra deaths, and I don’t want anyone to die. But, damn it, when Drago and Ney are nearby, it’s almost impossible to hide anything.

- Alex, may need help? - anxiously asked Drago.
- How can you help? Negotiations are needed here.
- Hey! What is this? Why do you decide something without my knowledge? - Leah was outraged.
- Sunny, Phaeton warned that an 863 mine could be attacked. And I don't want to distract Rustam. Yet this is his finest hour. Why darken?
- And the fate itself is not destiny?

“Then our farewell dance will break with you.”
“Let me teleport and negotiate,” Ney offered naively.
“General, if you trust Her, then allow her to solve this problem.”
- I do not even know. She never negotiated.
- And if I will be with her?
“Elder Drago, you cannot fight.” And with weak people or with those who refuse to fight they do not conduct any negotiations. You can certainly work magic, but over time it dissipates and then it will be even worse.

“General, I will be here with Ney to watch your dance.” And we will send our phantoms to the negotiations. Like what Alex left at Nazoferov.
- But they can get to the core. Moreover, they must be managed. In addition, they are active at a short distance from the ship or the shuttle.
- Barbarian, it was before. And now you and She have other opportunities. Your phantom will be no different from the real body. The distance is also not a hindrance. Within the star system, you can ... Read more →
