Chapter fifteen. Conversation

The children were in a hurry, they had to get to Ignat as soon as possible. Almost running, they passed the edge of the forest and rushed into its thicket to the cherished hut.
Finally, the soul-pleasing light of the windows appeared in the distance.
They came up and knocked on the door,
Ignat, pleased as usual, opened the door to them and said:
"I was expecting you, Kohl, and in addition I received the company of a young charming young lady. Come in Arin!
The children went inside and sat on a bench near the table.
-I have a question here that has arisen. What exactly, you were looking for Arin in a cave, no one has gone there for a hundred years because of a family of werewolves!?
Of course, I shouldn't be telling you, but the last time that the cave was visited by Since your father and Inga his faithful friend on the order, and then your father asked carefully for the cave to look up and no one came, and suddenly you and yesterday's events...
-That's what we want to talk to you, ' said nick, only of course this is just between us!
-Oh, I smell the smells of fried here, said Ignat.
- Come on, spit it out...
- In general, our father and her mother,- Kolya pointed to Arina, - hid rare artifacts in the cave, which for some reason they could not own themselves, and Arina found them, we dressed them and they recognized us as their owners.
- Wait, wait! Inga is your mother?! And what does our father mean! Don't you want to say...?
"Yes!" said Kolya.
- Oh, he's a rascal, because I guessed that his friendship with Inga would not just disappear without a trace....and here he is, sitting in front of me.
- That is, you and Arina...?!
- Yes, we are brother and sister.
- Now it's clear why my father asked me to keep an eye on the cave, and I thought even earlier where he hid his amulet! Then he wore it, he wore it on his finger, and then once he disappeared...
So the artifacts recognized you, you say?! And now you are talking to animals, flying, moving in space...
- Are we flying?!- with surprise, the brother and sister asked ...
- And you don't know what their value is?
- No!
- This is the ring and medallion of Chernobog and Marra, that is, in whose veins their blood flows, they are able to control them and thanks to them they have tremendous power!
-But we can only talk to animals so far!"we haven't tried the rest," Arina said, "
and how do you know about the artifacts?"
-Well, I kind of knew the previous keepers! I was friends with them. Oh, how! I'll tell you what kind of things we did! They were great people!
-And what happened to them?! Arina asked cautiously.
-Yes, nothing special, they lived for five hundred years, well, old age came, and they gave the amulets to children, and unfortunately they could not use them, they kept them secret from generation to generation until you were born ...
- There was a period one year before the birth of Kolya, when Mitrofan had a fight with his mother and lived separately, and then they abruptly reconciled and after a little while you appeared, as I now understand, not just like that it all happened ....and not just like that he abruptly became friends with Inga while he lived alone-he wanted the prophecy to come true, so that you fulfilled the destiny.
In general, what can I tell you:
-On the one hand, I am very glad that we have a lot of things to do, on the other hand, there is a responsibility, we need to protect the amulets from those who want to use them for evil! The last time these artifacts were found by their rightful owners, ancient sorcerers came from the north and tried to take away the talismans by force. But it was not there! The war was be healthy! Let's hope that this time it will be all right, maybe they won't find out so quickly that the artifacts have gained strength again... In any case, be very careful! We need to teach you how to use them. I'll go to your father tomorrow, he'll tell me what he knows, and then I'll tell you everything. Come every other day in the evening, although I did not put it that way - do not come, but apparate, amulets allow you to be transported to any point where you want, even protected by enchantments from ordinary transgression. I'll tell you how to do it now! This is not how wizards usually do it, it's closer to the method of brownies and goblins like me. You just need to imagine the final goal and touch the amulet, wanting to be there. By the way, I would advise you to talk about artifacts with a familiar mermaid, they know a lot about them, their local priest was also friends with past keepers and may know some details unknown to me.
- A familiar mermaid?! Arina was surprised.
-Yes, I'll tell you later, but in the meantime it's time for us to go home.
Arina and Kolya said goodbye to Ignat, promising to come back in a day, he once again repeated how to move them and they went out into the courtyard.
-Where is it better to apparate? Arina asked.
- Let's go to the east wall of the castle, they won't notice us there.
"Good," said Kolya, they touched the amulets and a moment later they were in the right place. The sensations were much more pleasant than with a normal transgression, the children quickly went to the entrance separately, so as not to arouse suspicion.
Kolya ran into the library, took a couple of the first books he came across and quickly went to his bedroom.
-Where have you been?! Irka asked sleepily sorting through the scrolls of homework on various subjects.
"In the library," Kolya replied, sensing her suspicious tone.
"I didn't know you were interested in astronomy and the political laws of the elves!"- she gave out sarcastically.
-What makes you think that?! Kolya was amazed
- Well, such books are in your hands! - Ira said even more suspiciously and snorted, lifting her nose.
- Oh, right, I took it in the evening to look through the pictures....
- Well, well, Ira said suspiciously assessing him with her eyes.
Kolya got into bed and pretended to be asleep. He understood that he would not be able to hide everything that happened to him from Ira for a long time, but he still did not know how to present it to her.
In the end, he decided that a new day would come, and maybe he would have an epiphany, and he would come up with something.
With these thoughts, he fell asleep.
