Chapter four. Salvation

Translated by an online translator I apologize for any errors.
Ignat and Nikolai were in a hurry.
"Children may be wizards, but they don't know about it, and they don't have wands, and dead people can smell them in the daytime, even if they're blind, and after their bites it's hard to treat them for a long time if they don't bite them to death.
After saying these words, they ran to the misty haze between the trees.
Who here left the portal open! Yes, and one-sided! No old witch's gifts from two hundred years ago! Ignat swore.
And what do you mean one sided? Kolya asked, catching his breath.
-Well, anyone can go there, and back figs! Just me, the elves, well, or an experienced magician will be able to return, so they are stuck! Children may be wizards, but they are not experienced - and if they were experienced, they would not go there .
And there are the dead ones wandering about, " said the Forester, with as much indifference as if they were talking about earthworms.
Another second and they stepped through the portal.
"Well, I've already found the children!" Alive!Ignat said, pointing to the tree.
Let's go rescue them.
At this moment, Kolya saw a pair of dead men either running or jumping in their direction, with the obvious intention of grabbing a fresh human for Breakfast.
"Uncle Ignat! Hurry up!"stop it!" he shouted.
-Yes, what a stupid animal! Why can't you sleep in the mother earth?- said the woodsman, waved two hands, at the same moment two huge trees came to life, and dashing through on their roots, like octopuses on tentacles, they grabbed the dead and froze waiting for the order.
- Rest! the Forester ordered in a firm, unquestioning tone, and the roots of the trees tore the screaming infernals into small pieces and covered them with roots, pushing them underground.
"Nothing! Kolya shouted. Even being from a family of wizards, he had not seen the use of battle spells like this in real life, and not in the pages of books on magic. And it looked much more eppic in real life.
Terrible screams came from the tree's crown - the twins ' screams.
When they saw the trees being torn to shreds by scarecrows, they were even more afraid, and it seemed to them that the scariest thing that they had already seen and in life does not happen!
They would have crawled away, flown away, seeped through the earth, just to hide from the new unknown danger, but there was nowhere to run ...
Go Since, they are now another hour will out of a tree to get off to persuade! Ignat said cheerfully.
-You will Svetozarova?-asked the Forester pointing in the direction of the children with his finger, and then the whole village is looking for you, your parents must have turned gray already, and you are wandering around here.
- S.... s....Svetozarova,- shaking with one voice replied the twins.
"Don't be afraid to come down!" I've dispersed the animal! They won't come out again...!
"We can't, our arms and legs don't obey us," Ira said in a barely audible tearful voice and began to roar.
"Ah! I didn't think of that, " said Ignat, and waved his hand. The tree bent and lowered the branch with the children to the ground, and they let go their hands and were on the grass.
The Ranger easily picked them up and put them on their shoulders, then they moved to the portal.
-We tried yesterday and couldn't get out, - said Ira, sobbing, looking at Kolya.
"No wonder!- muttered Ignat, drawing in the air some spells, and the portal opened releasing them into the ordinary world.
The forest Ranger did something and the portal completely disappeared, as it never existed.
"We should have closed it," he said defensively, " in case someone else wandered in to feed the animals."

In General, while we will go Since you explain to them what was happening, but my eloquence was exhausted.
Ira and Sasha looked at Kolya with interest, waiting for an explanation, and he thought how to briefly describe all that had fallen on their heads.
-In General, this is the case!"what is it?" he began."You're turning eleven this summer, aren't you?"
"Yes," said Ira."We're going to school in the city.
"Don't eat....more precisely, go to school, but not to the city.
"How so?" the children stared at him, their eyes wide.
In General, you are both wizards like me, and you will go with me to Durmstrang-This is a school of magic, it is in the North, and we will study there like the others.
"Wizards?" IRIN's eye began to twitch, and she shook her head.
"You mean like your friend, we can manage trees and all that...?"!
-I don't know about trees, not everyone can do it, but there are definitely a lot of interesting things that you can do.
-And why didn't mom and dad tell us that we were special ....?
"Because they don't know. They are ordinary people ...
"How do we tell them?"
-Well, we will tell them part of the truth, that you will go to an elite school, because you were selected at the end of the Olympics.
And we were sent to bring you certificates.
"They might believe that!" We did the best in elementary school.
"How are we going to school?"
-Transgresion.
-Transgre what ?!
"I'll tell you later -it's like teleportation.
- A! and this happens!, - Ira was surprised.
"There are many things in the Wizarding world," Nikolai told her cheerfully.
So they reached the village while talking.
"When are we going?" Sasha asked.
- Probably tomorrow, today we will not be released alive from here, - the Forester joyfully reported, seeing as about twenty villagers run throwing their hats to them.
"By the way, I probably shouldn't tell them about the dead!""They were hiding in a tree from the wolves, so they couldn't come back.
- Great idea!- said Irka smiling, - and then I do not know how to lie especially and honestly did not even know what to say.
- Found!!!!"stop it!" shouted the people who ran up, the parents of the twins running ahead of them.
"Alive !!!!!Thank God!!!!"Oh, no!" wailed the mother, kissing them one by one .
"Where did you find them?" We didn't know where to look anymore! The entire nearest forest was bypassed!
"They were at the swamps in the far forest, where the wolves chased them up a tree.
- Wolves!!! Oh, my mammies!!! my mother wailed.
-How did you stay alive!?
"They climbed a tree.
"My good boys! My school!"it's not for nothing that I've taught you since you were a child.
The noisy crowd was rushing to the houses, where the grandmother was already hobbling from the last hut.
"Here! She shouted joyfully! You see how quick they are from the city! Immediately found! And then you clueless in the forest prowled a herd and did not find children, and these immediately! Well done! And beautiful just like my late husband, the pilot, God rest his soul!
Tables and food were brought out, and everyone tried to treat the guests on the occasion of such a holiday.
- The main thing is not to burst! Ignat whispered in Kolya's ear, and they both laughed.
Of course, there was no question of going anywhere today. Until the evening, the guests were not allowed to leave the table and carried all the food and drink that was there, there was so much of it that the phrase "how not to burst" took on a very real meaning .
Gradually the guests dispersed and the main question came up-
and where exactly did the dear guests come from, and what is their purpose in coming to this God-forsaken backwater?
- The fact is, - said Ignat, - that I am a teacher in an elite school and your children have been selected to study at the end of the Olympiad, so by the way, they have certificates, and he handed them to their parents.
"So we have to leave tomorrow." Here are the tickets.
- Yes Yes.... - said the mother, handing the tickets to the father, - it's very good that our children were noticed, they are very talented, I told everyone about it.
Kolya noticed how Ignat moved his fingers lightly under the table.
There was no need for sorcery, he thought, agreeing with the Ranger's methods. Mother immediately went to collect things, of which, given the poverty of the family, there were not many, and the father fell asleep right at the table.
"Will we come home?" Irka asked in a whisper.
"Of course, every vacation, winter and summer," said the Forester.
"That's good - otherwise I'd miss my parents very much."
Kolya and the twins were put to sleep in the same room, they lay in warm beds, but they could not sleep, their life changed so quickly that excitement did not allow them to close their eyes.
- Col, where is this school?
"No one knows, it's a secret.
"Are both your parents wizards?"
- Yes.
"Have you known since you were a child that you were a wizard?"
"Yes, since I was a child.
Suddenly Ira's voice stopped and there was a light snoring, and they fell asleep together with Sasha instantly.
In the morning they were barely woken up, and if it wasn't for Kolya sitting on the next bed, the twins would have sworn that they had a very scary and exciting dream.
But it didn't smell like sleep.
In the kitchen they were already waiting for Ignat, who was eating an omelet of twenty eggs with pleasure.
"What a fine appetite a man has!- boasted the hostess of the house, - eats a lot and you can immediately see that the strength is heroic!
- You don't even know what it is, - Ira whispered softly and giggled.
They ate, took things and moved in the direction of the forest, as it is not strange parents were still under the spell, and they were not surprised that in the remote Taiga travelers did not start in the direction of the railway station, but in the opposite direction.
When they got back to the swamp, they all stopped.
Ignat as on the way here threw a piece of moss into the water and formed a road.
"I'll probably never get used to it!"- said Irka with surprise.
"You'll get used to it," Kolya said.
They crossed the swamp and joined hands on the other side of the clearing.
"You must buy everything for school," said Ignat.
They joined hands and the second was transgressively.
