Utter gloom was night. Lil, not stopped, the rain, with strong wind gusts. In making our way through the night storm, running figure. Barefoot man entangled in the grass, that the skin torn by foot, with his spiked stems. Chain with shackles on his hands betrayed rang. From his clothes dirty loincloth. Behind the fugitive, heard the barking of dogs chasing him. Lai interrupted, apparently the rain and wind hampered not only by the fugitive. Running man staggering with exhaustion.He fell, stumbled, but the desire for life raised him to his feet, not looking at the body exhaustion. The dogs of war fled, rattling arms and shouting curses. Fugitive headed for the woods, to which had about a hundred yards, he thought that his salvation thicket. The forest seemed solid and impenetrable as a wall. It is often almost invisible shine, shining lights that resemble eyes. Fugitive prevoznemogaya fatigue burst through the solid wall of branches inside the forest. Thus further scratched legs and tortured body. Not paying attention to increasing pain, he continued to delve into the depths of the forest. The man was afraid to look back. It seemed to him that the dogs caught him and was about to break off. Not thinking about the pain, he gave all the power running. Venturing into the forest, he did not realize how dark silhouettes with small flames were closing around him. Fugitive looked at his pursuers. Dark thicket enveloped on all sides. Strength left him, and he fell not vsilu up. Ferocious dogs overtakes evader, whined and stood rooted to the spot as the front of the forest. They whined, glancing toward the forest, but then the chase, were not solved. Shouts of soldiers recall their dogs.- All that we do not continue to run. Said one of the pursuers, probably older. This boy is dead. If he ran into the woods, then we will not have to spend time on his murder. Dense forest, it will do for us. We can safely report that the fugitive is dead ...
Somewhere deep in the impenetrable primeval forest was artificially carved into the field, with most of this fortress. On all sides of the field was dug large depth and width of several meters ditch half full of water. The ditch in two places were thrown lifting bridges connecting the fortress with the forest and mountain range. Forest surrounded by the artificial island of land on three sides.

Creating is another line of defense, starting from the forest and mountains. Just magical dome barrier could be weatherproof and serve light at night, changing their light intensity. Under the high-arched tree that stood near the middle of the fortress, under the branches hid a small round house, very similar to the consulting room. Such observation towers were built, cities, castles, fortresses, so that you can see the enemy before they will approach the walls of the city. Here she was on a high, the mighty oak. A bright light lit up the grass and flowers, not penetrating through the crown of the tree. Lookout cabin was protected from the wind and the heat at the tip of a mighty oak. There was a fresh breeze, bringing the sweet aromas of forest plants. The entire island served as a fortress, and its size is like a small village. Despite the size of the island it was only a few buildings. Perimeter wall of the fortress had stone ledges with wooden railings, making it possible patrolling the perimeter, and the protection of the walls in case of attack. The entire territory of the fortress was lined with stones rocks with a smooth surface, which is found only in large cities. The exceptions were the sites for the garden, driving range, and a corral for horses. Just all kinds of beds, with colors and unusual herbs. When viewed from the forest, the yard looked like this.

On the left side of the tree stood two stories built stone house with smooth, cut stone lined walls. To him on the road led to a stone staircase with carved wooden railings, marching to the balcony of the second floor. Balcony served as part of the first floor, fenced all round wooden railings between the stone pillars, serves as a support for the glass canopy balcony. Stone balcony continued wooden balcony shingles around the house, which made possible the great reviews. At the rear of the structure of the wall of the house to the fortress walls taut rope bridge connecting wooden balcony with a wall of the fortress. That at any time in case of emergency you can chop. The stone of the balcony, a summer kitchen with a stove, a round table, expected for a large number of seats. Glass roof of the house was covered with metal inserts in the form of a pointed cone with high metal pin, aimed at the sky. At the end of the probe was located faceted crystal ball, a bright green color. From it in all directions stretched beams connecting it with the magical dome. On the left side of the house was built large wooden bath adjacent to the wall of the fortress, and located on the stone dais. In front of her was a deep artificial lake with walkways leading from the bath. Further along the perimeter of the castle garden was located themselves to the gate leading into the woods.

Around this table is something stirring, worked elder. He had a long white beard, and the same hair. He was standing with his back to the boy and did not notice as he opened his eyes. The old man looked at the draped liquid instruments, occasionally glancing at the book lying on the table beside. Making her mark in the elder mumbled to no known language guy. The boy tried poshivilitsya slowly, but his body responded severe pain.- And ... already awake? This is very good. Unexpectedly for the kid, the elder said, without turning around. Do not be surprised I have a good ear. Lasted a few days your delusional state. I tried to remove your shackles and treat wounds, but you started to scream and thrash about. Then excuse me, of course, I had to snare you drink herb tea. After that I processed your wounds, restore your broken arm, removed the shackles, and made the shot.- What kind of injection? What is injection? Not understanding the meaning of a word, asked a little boy.- Too long to explain. Quickly replied the old man. The most important thing is that you come to. The old man went on to say with a smile on his face. Now you're sure to get better. From your wounds will be no trace of it, I'm telling you. As that pafastno said the old man, who for his age too quickly and confidently move. It's for something hurriedly began to explain how the kid broth, and the more he rubbed the wound. Then, suddenly, looking at the boy's eyes, paused, sighed and said. E, May, ... how much I have to tell you, explain. Although I am glad, very glad! You have no idea how this is important to me, but ... that's me all about yourself, yes, about me ... - How are you son? Such as a relation to the chal it. What's bothering you? How are you feeling? One more thing. Continued the old man, smiling and winking at the boy. Came to the table, he took a glass vial with a liquid. Then another glass and poured the liquid from the bubble. Then handed a glass boy. Drink this relieve pain and destroy the spirits. Boy by surprise all events automatically took the glass and drank the contents. The boy somehow imbued with confidence to the old man. Yes, I would not treat people, and then veer thought boy.- What now? Asked the old man.- Dry mouth was. Boy replied.- You see, you're kidding. Glad the old man. So, it's going well. Soon the pain will go away. Now in order to feel better, you can go swimming, and then if you want, tell me what happened to you. The little boy thought for what that - time. He did not want to remember what it was, but a stone throw from the soul, to speak out, it is a must. Besides medication starts to work, and the pain disappeared somewhere. Head was clear and he thrust in the bed, he asked.- Where you can swim?- Now all organized. Replied the old man. Oh, do not be afraid, be at home! Maltz heartened man. At the same time will get acquainted with who brought you here. Dag! He called. Not what happened. Then the old man stood up, walked to the door and pulled a small stone on the door jamb. Then sat down and put a chair near the bed, where he lay kid. After a considerable period of time is not the boy heard the front door open. There were heavy footsteps came into the room, a great physique, tall black wolf. He was standing on two legs like a man to his full height. He wore a loose leather pants. Boy in amazement and fear fell. Well, the bed was behind him. Just in time for it, he fell down and buried in the skin, which served as covers. Boy, that there are forces screamed.
- Help!- Sorry kid. Orobev, apologized Doug.- You what? Absolutely crazy! The old man shouted at him. - He barely, barely, came to. Dress the hoop. We quite estranged from the people. Blame the old man said. The Wolf Man pulled out his pants gold hoop. Putting it around his neck, he is guilty excuses. Speaking of that used that no one in the house of strangers there. Besides, they say, it adds napilennye Palen, which is easier to carry a wolf, prick. Hearing this conversation, looking at the speaker wolf boy trembled, not what is not understood. While the boy was confused, Doug wearing hoop and shaking his head, became a man. Just a little bit shorter, though, it's not noticeable. Its human dimensions could also catch up on any fear. With strong naked torso rippled muscles, he looked awesome.- Take it easy kid. Stroking the lad's head, the old man tried to stop him trembling and sobbing. Dagan blame his head and went out. He soon returned with the bubble, holding his old man. Elderly stranger gave to drink liquid Maltz, after which he quickly calmed down. Forgive us, eh? The old man smiled. We live here too long without people who are not used to guests. But not when we do not offend you. Firm voice, said the old man, smiling and helping the kid up. The boy came, in itself, slowly calming down. As much as he shied away from the Wolf Man, he had smeritsya. Since the run was not much, but the medicine helped to calm down. Plus the smell of sweat, forced the boy to go to the water treatment. He gave her fate.-Uncle Doug? Timidly asked the boy. Can I have a different outfit?- Do not worry, everything is there. Calm voice convinced him wolf.They came out of the house on the stone balcony. Go down the stairs and turned to the right. After passing between the pond and the house, they found themselves in front of a log large bath made master of his craft.-Come to the bathhouse. Politely offered Dogan, making way Maltsev. There you will find everything you need.- Thank you! Here again, ... thank you for saving me, not allowing to die from their wounds. Bowing to the ground, said the boy, referring to the wolf in human form.The boy opened the door, entered the spacious dressing room. Undressed and went into the steam room. What flavor was in the bath. It was clear flooded with skill. The smell of wood, needles, some are not familiar to the kid incense, soothed, possessed the soul and the body to water procedures. The little boy sat comfortably at higher lags, showering himself and splashing water of a ladle on the stove. He leaned back, lying at full length, looking forward to a pleasant bliss.After the bath boy dressed and went back into the house. Old clothes he had as he was, said cast into the furnace bath. When he entered the house, he was invited to go to the cafeteria. Seeing a richly laid table, he was a little surprised. Around a large round table, stood twenty-one chair. Could be another nineteen wolves? Thought to myself, boy. Maybe the old man Glova pack? The guy looked at the old man's neck, not seeing the hoop, he calmed down. Now, sitting on the bed, he slowly began to remember the night before. Remembering his flight, he thought the lights in the forest. When falling unconscious, lad saw the dark figures surrounding him. That is so, why not the persecutors followed him into the woods. He recalled how the soldiers of the camp anxiously looked toward the woods, when they broke their camp. Now, in the memory of all the horror stories have surfaced about the primeval forest, which retold the war by the fire. If I wanted to kill him, there would not be so welcome. The boy drove the terrible memories. To look at a table laden with dishes, boy forgot all fears. If I were to die, he thought, let it be on a full stomach. While he was thinking, Doug laid the table, walked over to him, holding out an open hand in a vial with a viscous compound.- Here, this solution smear afternoon. He said, and went into another room. The old man continued to read something, holds a book. Wolf returned to the samovar, hoisted it on the table and invited those present to proceed to dinner.- Others not wait? Timidly asked the boy, nodding at the chairs.- Others will be too late. Said the old man. Today, the gain when someone wants you to look. Usually there are twelve people in the castle, train, go about their business, and relax. Six patrol the forest, they in turn vary as units. One man, Dogan always with me it our senior squads. Sam will see. Now you ask the young man is slowly and gradually, otherwise it will be bad ... You did not eat a couple of days, and the stomach can not sustain. I know you have many questions, but later, when you eat and rest.- I got it. Nodded at the boy.- I would also like to know your name young man?- My name is Egor. Blushing, embarrassed, replied lad.- Very nice. I Verlat Vladimir. I was also called a witch and my name scare naughty children. I tell all the stories about my fiction. Kids are my weakness, but the delinquent adults wickedly in this world ... a meaningful pausing grimaced man. I teach them what's what. Dagan you already know. Now, all a pleasant meal. Wished the old man.- Thanks chorused the others.Upon completion of each lunch to do their business. Dagan started to get out, Vladimir, went out on his own business. Egor, smeared with ointment, and lay down to sleep, on the advice of an old man. Boy comfortably curled up in a ball, wrapped brought him a wolf, a patchwork quilt. The boy fell asleep, undisturbed sleep child.Waking up refreshed, full of energy, Igor noticed that his wounds miraculously healed. Small scratches do not, and the scars have almost disappeared. Sense of gratitude for the care, warmth, shelter, overcame a kid all the fears and doubts. He's in his later years had forgotten that it happens that kindness still exists. He went away after a little bit of sleep, the boy noticed that lies on the bed in a spacious room. Where such beds ten. Apparently, it was moved here, while he slept, thus giving it a rest. The old man probably did not want to disturb him, conducting their experiments. Yegor got up deciding to look around, and at the same time find a washbasin. The house was roomy inside. As the boy had noticed, the basic material finishes in some of the rooms there was a tree, creating comfort against the stone walls. But the stone walls, too, did not give the feeling of heaviness and darkness, because they were white. That betrayed light rooms with a transparent high roof. In the house were four rooms. Spacious entrance hall, with two staircases. One led to the roof, where, as has proved to be an observatory. Another staircase from the hall was the hallway on the first floor, where the storeroom. The house is located, dormitory room, large dining room, which served as a living room and one room of Vladimir. In the room the old man, who served as his office and a bedroom with a fireplace, just woke up for the first time Egor. The office was full of different books and unknown guy things, although he has seen a lot. When was the slave of a shopkeeper in a military unit, from which only recently escaped. Dining room, and dormitory were connected passage. The dining room you could walk into the hallway where the door to the porch. From the hallway, another door led to the study. Boy for fun thought his steps from one wall in the dining room to the other.
