Chapter 4. A minor incident and a castle

And now we were approaching the city. Among the trees could be seen the high walls of the castle made of precious stones and metals and the stone fence of the city.

But there was a slight hitch. Suddenly, a cemetery appeared out of nowhere, which had not been visible until that time.

The year -1274 was indicated on the slabs, and it was on all the graves.

— When have you already managed to bury the bodies of the fallen soldiers? Rail asked,

looking thoughtfully at the tombstone inscriptions, as if looking for someone.

— When we left the city, there was not yet this cemetery, and we left only two weeks ago, - Dinah replied.

- Hmm... Grave grave would take at least a few months to bury such a number of dead, and then so much...

Suddenly, when I looked at the grave of a certain Vagda Kanzha, a huge hand appeared from the grave. And later the whole body appeared completely... The size of this skeleton was about 5-6 meters... I got goosebumps from what I saw...

I ran away as soon as possible: suddenly he would bang on me with his huge hand, because I would turn into

a bloody cake all over...

— Who disturbed the rest of the deceased? — he asked, after which the rest

of the skeletons in this cemetery rose up. Yes, skeletons, without flesh and entrails.

- It depends who asks! Rail shouted and at the same time rushed to attack this huge skeleton. His sword flashed when it hit the bones of this skeleton, but the skeleton itself didn't seem to take any damage at all.- Deal with the change, Dinah! — he shouted, having already moved on to the skeleton's skull.

Dinah threw herself at the human-sized skeletons. Her snow-white hair was fluttering in the wind and her look was to some extent even masculine. Her body also stood out. Although she looked manly at first glance, but still not like a woman. But after looking at her in battle... So wait, she's younger than me in age... Calm down ...

And after a few minutes, all the skeletons that were there were already lying split into pieces, and there was absolutely nothing left of the big skeleton, because Rail had torn it apart with his sword so that there was not a speck of dust left from it. How strong this boy is...

And after Rail defeated the skeleton, he suddenly grew up himself, so that he was up to my shoulders, but his face did not change at all. And this was not surprising, because I read in a note from Reid that the appearance does not change until six years old, and he is only five.

— Well, well... Soon I'll grow up to your height," Rail said, looking at me with a strange smile on his face.

At the command from Dinah, we continued our movement towards the city, there was very little left before it.

The only thing I don't understand is why Dinah gives orders, because Rail is also part of the royal family.

I asked Reid directly why this was the case. And everything turned out to be extremely simple: Dinah was one of the generals of the knights of the kingdom, that's why everything obeys her.

When we reached the gate, we met a woman and a man who were standing and crying in front

of the gate guards. Among their crying, the words could be heard: "Help us find

our son Kite."

They turned around, saw me and started hugging me. I moved away from them

a little and said:

- I'm sorry, but unfortunately, your son is already dead. My soul has taken up residence in his body,

so I'm sorry.

- No need to apologize... We knew that our son was going to die soon...

Thank you for bringing us the news of our son's death, without you we wouldn't even have known about it," said the man who was most likely the father of the Kite.

- You are called, then... Yeah, it's a hard case, but okay, stay in the body of our

son, I think he himself was not against leaving you in this body.

But really, was he against me settling in his body?.. Most likely not, because he so easily gave up trying to return to his body.

The city, where we entered a motley company, looked simply gorgeous for its time. People were all as if completely provided for... Everyone was in expensive clothes, but for some reason it was in winter clothes, although there was no cold at all, or I only felt it that way...

The streets of the city were shrouded in flowers and the whole environment smelled of them. Yes, flowers... In the winter town. Yeah, it's really a miracle. Also, unusual animals, snow-white in color, galloped along the streets. The houses were made of snow-white stones, and the castle just shone with snow-white, because it was not only made of white stone, but also of metals that looked expensive

After a while we found ourselves near the palace. There was a mirror on his doorstep, although I don't understand why, because you could see your reflection through precious metals...

Looking at myself, I was surprised how young I look. Of course, because in my world I am already twenty-four years old.

Rosy cheeks with freckles, blonde hair and green eyes. Straight handsome... In my own world, I was, to put it mildly, not very in appearance...

When we entered the castle, we were met with honor. The knights immediately dispersed to their rooms. Everyone bowed before us, or rather before the royal children.

We entered the throne room. Yes, it was unexpected to show up to the king and queen like that, without an invitation... Only Rail and Dinah entered the hall with me.

- Greetings, Dinah and Rail! The king exclaimed in a voice that almost deafened me.

His appearance was like that of an ordinary king. Expensive clothes, weapons near the throne, expensive boots and a distinctive feature of the entire royal family - long snow-white hair.

— And who is this person? The queen asked, pointing her finger at me.

— Well, in general, pointing your finger, well, how to say ... is not beautiful... — I said it out loud, although I wanted to say it in my head

— Are you going to tell me what I should do? Quickly introduced himself! Otherwise, we'll throw you out of the hall!

Rude queen though... Okay, I know I blurted out the wrong one...

- My name is Nid. I came here to ask for help with a curse on me that prevents me from using my abilities to the full.

The king shouted something and an old man with a long stick and the same snow-white hair, though not long, but already short hair, came into the hall...

- Greetings, my name is Leka, the father of the current king, I recently resigned from the throne. As I heard, you need help with lifting the curse, so it's not that easy, you know... You will need a little time, and there will also be one important condition, which I will tell you about a little later. In the meantime, settle down somewhere in the castle," the old man said, chuckling as he spoke the penultimate sentence.

Out of the kindness of my heart, I left the hall and began to look for a suitable place for myself, because no one told me exactly where to look for rooms. Therefore, several unexpected "problems" occurred during this very search…
