Prologue
At first she did not even realize what she saw
Sh to be called a tombstone
Even stele it is difficult to call – just a stone mounted on the side of the road It is unlikely that someone put him at least some effort There was not even an inscription This stone is placed on the ground as well as the child puts on the floor cube Because of this horrible negligence seemed buried their dead man did not feel him no pity or respect If she did not knohat exactly is this stone, just passed to the target
– It’s … it?– Hardly said Dominic Skoda
Due to the heavy leaden clouds landscape around it was painted such gloomy colors that afternoon did not look like himself A tombstone of this darkness looked even more pathetic
– Y … yes, it’s … the grave of Mrs Lucia – confirmed rustic old woman accompanied her to this place
She did not dare raise his wrinkled face … and her voice could be heard deep fear
Of course, some of this was due to the fact that she spoke to the ruler of the land, who returned in triu and hard war … butbehind Dominica
It co colors in his body – silvery white and absolutely black
Huge blackneck The size is reater than the cow and the horse … rather, it was so huge, like eating their lunch
But, unlike the beasts … the location of the limbs and head had been more human
However, “hu neck His arth does not like people On the head, so a horse, had a pair of horns But th of the creature held the tail – a body that is least associated with the human body
It was like people, but it was not a hu
He had wings, but it was not a bird
He had a tail, but it was not an animal
What other word than “monster”, we can describe this creation?
Oddly enough … most of all when you look at this monster attracted attention not its shape
His fur is not covered Not smooth skin Some called it “scales”, but it is not that the scales which were snakes and lizards … it was made up of enormous smooth plates connected to each other Most of all, she rehts
That is why people gave this monster a name
They called theons
The sight of these monsters was so terrible that the man was next to him, it was hard not to be afraid to talk Perhaps the old woe – because she did not run away screa, and could lead to Dominica here Even the Dooon
– Lucia … – dazed, barely discernible Dominic whispered name of the person buried under that tombstone
Lucia, her younger sister, was the last living member of her family
“Sister Sister-ah … “
She loved her sister His only relative, related to her by blood
When she closed her eyes, her s face itself floated out of the darkness
As soon as there was silence, to hear her voice in my head
“Look, what a flower It is great to come to your hair “
“Oh yes We need to visit the grave of his father and mother … “
Skoda was ruined knightly family
More specifically, their estate was disappointingly shtly family” houses, and even a peaceful life in its territory has been difficult to conduct They were the typical “rural aristocracy” with a tiny estate
His father, who had to work to strengthen their fae of reason, and never returned Although the faive birth to it, had their strengths and weaknesses Dominic did not just think about the fact that her father, perhaps, was not born for battle
As for the mother … she died from the disease within a few years after my father disappeared on the battlefield
Like her father, she was a person straight to stubbornness On raising two daughters and content Skoda estate modest income tax she took a lot of effort So many that a relatively simple disease became fatal for her
“Sister, have shared with us today duck
Wait a little, I will make your favorite mustard sauce “
Since then, Doether and under one roof
