Danny Osipenko "The Black Book of Souls"

My satellite was obviously mind-blowing.

– To be so shocked! – he peeped after looking at my works. – And so you will be able? – he took an interest and, having taken a feather, «mister Shtyr» clumsily nashkryabat.

IВ decided that he wants toВ receive the exact copy and, having studied features ofВ absolutely terrible handwriting, most precisely reproduced an inscription.

– Shran shobachya, – the big guy got agitated even more, – to Dasha I cannot otlishit. Indeed you are a mashter. Well to perekushit shamy time.

According toВ the sign ofВ the pin the young woman with aВ tray full ofВ food approached aВ table. What there was only not! Fried fish, baked shrimps, tentacles ofВ an octopus, unleavened cakes, cheese, sour cream, hot sauce and whole mountain ofВ fruit and vegetables.

Without wasting time IВ grabbed aВ piece flat cake, dipped inВ sour cream and stuck into it teeth.

– Correctly! – the Pin approved my actions. – Eat, eat. When still poluchitshya it is so good to eat.

IВ only smiled and having swallowed aВ floor ofВ flat cake undertook the fried fish.

On aВ table the jug ofВ wine and two leather mugs appeared. As it turned out, for that short time so far IВ finished with flat cake the servant managed toВ descend on kitchen and toВ return with drink. Only now IВ paid attention that it absolutely naked apart from aВ tiny loincloth which did not cover aВ hip and on aВ third.

IВ lifted up eyes on the woman and heart clenched from sympathy. The hunched figure traces ofВ aВ beating, on the bald head covered aВ fresh scar, the forehead is spoiled with aВ brand, the eye is turned inВ aВ floor, on aВ face hopeless melancholy, the neck is squeezed byВ aВ slave collar.

While IВ examined the poor creature, she was developed and limped on kitchen. The pin caught my eye and is perfect it having misinterpreted, grinned:

– Nravitshya? Do you want it?

IВ rocked the head here and there and lowed the filled mouth:

– U-at.

Then ate up and already normally answered:

– No. It is a pity for the poor creature.

– And what it to go crazy? – the Pin was surprised, sipping wine. – She is fed, give to drink to her and meshto where to poshpat, given. Work only, you do not lenit also to a business vsha. You at our poor creature were: without hearth or home works. Golodukh yes bustle from a strasha.

IВ noticed that it is better on freedom toВ starve, than toВ eat too much inВ slavery.

– Well-well, – clapped the Pin me it can do and suddenly waved a hand. – Hey, shyuda! – He shouted and explained to me: – Here and drushya mine came.

ToВ ours at aВ table two soundly dressed men approached, greeted the Pin and byВ his invitation mudflows. The slave brought toВ Tutzhe two more mugs.

– Let’s drink drushya, – my benefactor exclaimed, spilling wine.

Drank.

IВ took aВ good sip too, but continued toВ lean on the fried fish, saucing her. It seemed, IВ am more tasty than nothing inВ life did not eat and toВ stop pleasure ofВ saturation there were no forces.

Suddenly inВ aВ conversation ofВ my messmates slipped the word В«chastenersВ», and IВ pricked up ears.

– Similar to their work. All are dead: protection, members of household, servants. And fifteen best mercenaries in guards were. Both locks reliable and magic protection. And nothing helped, – the bearded story-teller lamented. – Here it as leaves: though you are a merchant notable though the servant of the possessor, and will order you to chasteners and remember as called.

– It is good to see the customer forked up if the vladetelevy servant were not afraid to ruin, – shook-headed his lean satellite.

– So to chasteners to a vsha it is uniform, – the Pin hemmed, – though the possessor will be sewn by eshl ponadobitshya.

– Quietly you! – hushed on it bearded, having turned the head on the parties. – Do not bring gods of the servant of the possessor will hear.

– So I only shred shvoy, – waved away the Pin.

IВ finished aВ meal meanwhile and, drinking wine, fought against yawning. Having not felt hungry any more and, probably, and would not get already. The stomach was incredibly inflated, and IВ absolutely got drunk with satiety and hardly battled against aВ somnolence.

My state did not remain unnoticed, and the Pin with aВ smile addressedВ me:

– Well nayelshya?

IВ nodded, feeling that the person grows stout inВ aВ grateful smile.

– Here and well, – my benefactor was delighted and shouted: – The owner rashcht!

The fat man approached and reported that from us exactly two silver.

– Vshe of a shlyshala? – the Pin took an interest, and having received confirmation, addressed me: – Well, Lansh, you wave to pay for my ugoshcheniye copper, gold or silver?

IВ shook the head and smiled.

– No, of course, you know – I have no money. But I will work. I will work everything.

The pin grinned enough, slapped inВ aВ palm and indicatedВ me.

– This shelovek, spoiled my imushcheshtv on two sherebryany and otkazyvayetshya to pay. Under our laws I declare that from now on he my slave yet not rashplatitshya of highway it is full!

– Hey, – I was indignant trying to rise, – I did not spoil any property!

But acquaintances ofВ the Pin seized me byВ hands without allowing toВ get up, and the bastard, shortly hokhotnut and explained:

– Food to Tosha Imushcheshvo under our laws. And vshyaky chushaka do not need to shnat it!

IВ tried toВ escape again, but IВ was strictly beaten, and then chained inВ shackles and put on aВ slave collar. At the same time the head toВ me was held byВ the slave whom IВ regretted recently.

CHAPTERВ 03.

IВ was dragged out on the backyard ofВ aВ tavern and thrown the person inВ yellow dust. Over the head squeaked aВ hated voice:

– Kultyapka, accept the newcomer. Din into him that yes as, but especially do not cripple. Yes define for easy work so far.

IВ spitted out blood and tried toВ rise, but the rigid kick threw me onВ zem.

– Well, friends, we will wash this business? – joyfully offered the Pin.

He with enthusiasm was supported, and steps ofВ bastards were removed.

IВ have aВ fit ofВ coughing, raised the head, spitted out, took breath and tried toВ get up. At once the faintness rolled, the nape cracked from pain. IВ involuntarily moaned and leaned aВ forehead against the clenched fists.

– What sprawled? Get up! – the snuffling voice directly over me was distributed.

IВ lifted up eyes and saw inВ aВ half step before myself two barefoot dirty feet with the broken-off nails.

It is strange that the stranger managed toВ approach me imperceptibly, IВ do not suffer from weak hearing. Perhaps pain dulled ability toВ perceive signals ofВ sense organs. But it can be found out later, and now my body suffered and wished only rest and rest.

IВ loudly moaned, showing as toВ me it is bad, and hung the head.

At the very same time the back was burned byВ such pain that IВ shouted, being curved back, and from eyes tears scattered. Recent sufferings were instantly forgotten, and I, having leaned back back, stared at the new torturer.

Over me the thick-lipped earless slave with aВ short leather whip inВ the right hand towered. The well-muscled body was covered byВ numerous scars, the left hand was absent.

IВ did not manage toВ consider properly the stranger as that threatened aВ whip again. IВ contracted and closed the head hands, but instead ofВ blow the derisive voice was distributed:

– Well, you will get up or to put once again?

InВ soul the anger began toВ arise. Nobody has the right toВ mock so at the person for aВ debt inВ pathetic two coins! Sense ofВ justice demanded toВ rush on the bastard and toВ allow it toВ try own whip, but the sober mind advised toВ obey. Unless IВ will be able, hackneyed, with the held-down hands and legs, toВ overcome armed even if also one-armed, the bigВ guy?

Even my modest experience inВ fighting arts said that there are no such chances, and IВ am waited byВ ruthless beating byВ the angered opponent. Why the term ofВ my stay inВ slavery will only increase for several days ofВ sufferings wounds will heal soВ far.

No, aggression inВ this case not an exit, but what then remains?

To obey force – means to lose self-esteem, to lose the I, to lose a part of soul. Whether I will be able to become after that former again, having found freedom?

Difficult question, but most likely not. Broken never becomes whole any more. So toВ do?

Exit was prompted byВ spiritual disciplines which inВ addition toВ martial arts IВ studied at the University. The equipment used for overcoming pain and also usual laziness could help and here. It is aВ pity, IВ was not aВ diligent pupil at the talented teachers, but now only their lessons could help outВ me.

IВ should have shared consciousness, toВ put on aВ mask corresponding toВ aВ situation, toВ be discharged and watch myself as if from outside. At the same time the body turns into the puppet which is operated byВ the reason which was any more not involved inВ aВ situation so absolutely free.

Unfortunately, I had no actor’s skills for a similar game, but unless there was other exit?

Alas, no. Besides use ofВ the technology ofВ bifurcation could become an excellent rule inВ spiritual disciplines.

Having made the decision, IВ represented expression ofВ humility on aВ face, took aВ mental step back and already as if from outside observed how my lips were said:

– I get up, I get up.

The hand stump noticeably sadanut toВ me inВ anВ ear.

– I do not get up, I get up and as you will order, mister! Also do not look at me so impudently, and you will obtain that. Got that?

– As you will order, mister, – I murmured, obediently bowing.

– So get up, the moron, or you do not understand words?

– As you will order, mister, – I repeated, observing as my body clumsily rises to the feet. Stirred not only shackles, but also back and edges pain which, however, after division of consciousness was perceived much easier.
