I awakened after setting of the sun, all body was ill, but to the already acquainted pain from supersaturating a languor was added yet and, as after a thermal or sunny blow. Apparently, my precautionary measures were not enough, and I had time slightly to toast. Oh, books, not liars, did not tell, a sun operates, yet as operates. That him! Direct sunbeams in a hut could not be, but also the dissipated lasted the that, fully to ravage my magic reserve and add a few burns. Alike, if yesterday I did not accomplish diablery, then today would present from itself the compact small group of ash. On the other hand, if I did not accomplish, for me it would be yet hour three on that, to find a place for a daily dream. But however asserting that my suffering was vain, is impossible; now I possessed though and a bit damaged, but fully by the active network of energy channels that were perceptibly ill now, as muscle, after the long training.
With every minute conducted on earth, and on that, to get up at once for me moral forces were not simply enough, my state got better, the pain had left gradually, and ahead returned ability soberly to consider. Foremost, it was necessary not to lose time and begin to collect trophies - there are no guarantees, that I interrupted all band; quite possible, that some part can be and elsewhere. At night they will come hard, and the next day staying too long is in any way impossible here to me.
With grief in half, but nevertheless getting (a head spun yet, and an opposite weakness was felt in a body) up I conducted an examination of a body of ataman. Dead body as a dead body dry is bony; that bull, what he was in the time of life, reminds poorly, however and like the small group of ashes not nearly look. Rather on a mummy, only not in bandages, and in chainmail and fully durable, placed even to the very quality and, to all appearances, expensive clothing, that now was to him obviously great.
And what from its conclusion does follow? And generally much them, conclusions, it is possible to do. As most obvious and plausible - earthly books told insolently. Well, the second variant, that the state of the body of the victim upon completion of ritual depends on the set of the personal properties of diablerists.
Does such can to be? Fully.
And as the third variant, it depends on the properties of the victim. Shorter, we have not ashes and not ash, and skeleton covered by skin; it would be necessary to him to chop off ahead, and then yet will rise in the look of some dirty trick. And to other robbers too, so, for the sake of good order.
Heaving up the here weltering sword of ataman, I was tried to the neck struck. The blade of resistance did not meet, or, that more faithful, I did not feel, and went away in earth kind half. Well though a leg from a trajectory I cleaned beforehand, and then all would make off very comically and infamously.
Quietly cursing and smuggling out of a blade, I go outshut. Never engaged in snagging of dead bodies, to carry out the first test with the dried-up mummy quite not heaved up. In addition, need were there, at most, two-three complete set of clothing to me, thus suitable in size, but not all that can be found in a camp, too same touched a weapon. In this foreshortening, at first, it was necessary to examine all kill, plus their booty from a line, for one and to conduct "control".
To the word to say, ambre above a camp stood that yet, apparently, dead bodies already began to decompose. The same what heat here was in the day-time? Though now not to say, that was cool, a thermometer, certainly, is not present but on the feeling of degrees twenty it fully was in mid-air, and here yet and smell, how I do not turn inside out only?
While rambled on the places of yesterday's "exploits", mentally worked out the preliminary totals. The dream of all my previous life came true is I in the world where magic is, I have to her capabilities and main - I am potentially immortal. That is yet needed for happiness? In principle, I and was happy. As a naked fellow can be happy in-field and in surroundings the heap of dead bodies. Нда...
But even mentally it sounds where more frightful than felt at direct participation, amusing incident... However, happiness does not abolish circumstance that, as well as tasks that it is very desirable to execute problems ahead mass.
So, which are my aims? Obvious and priority: to survive and become stronger.
