Andrey Kolyasnikov - World. From death to life

– Why are you all such geniuses… – Pavlov wanted to swear but stopped in time – he remembered that he was told about the behavior of autistic and sociopaths.

On the screen of major Afonin, a picture appeared.

– Herman Alekseevich you can hear me? – The Colonel couldn’t understand what was happening. – Major Afonin can you hear me?

– No feedback. – Said Romanov.

– I can see that without you. Major Afonin, can you hear me?

Herman looked out from behind the stone, among the rocks and rivers of boiling lava. There, below, gray horned people in loincloths, pulled on ropes, behind itself a system from women and children similar to earthlings, than on these horned inhabitants of Venus.

– You see this? See? He whispered into the microphone. – I’m going to zoom in. That’s impossible. – High, edifice brown girl hair with blue eyes eyes, turned to Herman, if seeing his. – Is It Taya? – Surprise, Herman rose to his feet, and again the connection was lost.

– Who’s Taya? – The Colonel asked Daniil Karlovich.

– Why are you asking me?

– Afonin saw a red-haired girl and said: Taya. After the connection is terminated. If he was not an android, I would have thought that the major was cut down from behind – of head.

– Where saw – I do not not understand. He called his wife Taya, but she died four years ago – Taisia Nikolaevna Smirnova. Where’s Herman?

– We don’t know yet. His sensor went crazy-he jumps all over the planet. You need to find Afonin’s: he came to the link from places more like hell – around the rocks and rivers of fire, in the rocks a lot of caves. From the place where he came out, overlooking the plateau with a large stone horned skull, in the center of it.

– Is this a joke?

– We’re not an organization where you can joke like that. Our operators will launch drones to repair the machine. We will control them from The earth. With God major – you’ll need It.

In the booth, on the bridge, climbed the blonde middle age. Her hands were trembling, as was her voice – she was frightened:

– May I address you, Colonel?

– Captain, please!

– We’ve got an emergency – room simulations Afonin’s in motion.

For a year and seven months that the Gods were on Earth, Ger Afin did not get in touch, but it did not bother anyone. Eight envoys of Geya was busy with people, studying them, not physically getting into their world. The gods were interested in everything that concerned the man: his relationships, language, hunting, life, psychology and even love joy (although the latter was something vile to the Gods, but only in the beginning, but later, strange, and sometimes desired).

The gods no longer quarrel, as if Abyss, in the life of a Zef, it was not, but not for leader of Gods, he is often exploring the people on the screen, left to itself, was sad, for all this time – haven’t touched your Alya Mut never. He didn’t recover his body next to her, not kissed her, as if Alya is not his wife, but she kept silent and endured, though, and worried.

The gods did not quarrel – they were divided into two camps, vneglasno boycott each other. On the one hand was the cells Zef’s and Aik’s, on the other the rest. Everyone pretended that the other half does not exist, but only in the home, and the work had to communicate, dryly, but still… Zef Seth didn’t pay any attention to it, but his wife tried to reconcile with the rest, after I tried and Aik Semis, and Osia Ayamo, but all was in vain. Having lost a year to the irreconcilable Gods, wasting time on the empty, Alya and Zef engaged in their duties.

People built temples to the Gods, with columns and statues of the Gods themselves, if all were like themselves, then Zef Seth, called the Sun, was portrayed as strong, but an old man with long gray hair and a beard. He was standing in a cassock with a hood over his head, with his arm outstretched, with his hand open to the people, showing something on it. The sun was considered the Supreme God who gave people life, and the protector of all adversity. According to the legend: the palm of his hand, kissed his wife – the Goddess of the Earth and after the palm of the God the Sun is out people.

Zef liked to look after people in temples, they rarely asked for anything, basically glorified Gods and sang them songs, bringing to Gods berries, fruit, wine. On holidays, people carried sweets and pastries to the statues of the Gods. All this tempted the head of the Gods, and one day he could not resist the temptation, decided to visit people.

Dressed in human clothes, wearing bracelets on his wrists, taking a knife similar to the one that helped him in the Abyss, Zef Seth teleported himself to the temple. While the people nearby was not visible, Zef Seth sat down at the marble feet of the God of the Sun, I decided to try an offering to the Gods: breaking the pie, he ate a piece and drank wine. After more, and more… The taste of strawberry pie was amazing, such robots, in Society, did not cook. From pleasure Zef Seth closed his eyes and forgot himself, until he was brought to his senses by an old man, wrapped in a gray cloth with patterns on the edge of the garment. The stranger was struck with his staff the stranger on the shoulder, shaming him:

– Ignorant, how dare you touch the face of God? Food you could get, but the barn, in the Pantheon temple, have not allowed anyone. How could you desecrate the shelter of the Gods?

– Excuse me, – confused Zef, but gathering thoughts… – I wanted at least a little time with my dad, eat with him, like old times.

– So you’re the son of the Sun God?! – The elder was indignant, but looking at the marble statue, then at Zef, he cooled his ardor. – Yes, your features are similar, but how will you prove your kinship?

– You have often asked the father, salvation from the dog-a giant that is attacking the village. You said that only the power of God could defeat him. So, he sent me to you. The road was long – I was hungry. Only from my father’s dish did I eat and drink from his jug. Tell me, how could I save you on an empty stomach?!

The old man pondered – “what if he is the one for whom he pretends to be, and if he lies, the beast will destroy him and will be fed today”? !

When Zef watched the people, he saw a scary black dog, two meters tall. He attacks the nearest villages if they don’t give him a sheep or a cow. The dog traverses the village in a circle, every day, eating fresh meat, having visited once a month in each of the nearest village. Tonight was this town, Lika, and Zef Seth knew about it.

– Well, – said the old man with a sly squint – I hope you’re not a fool to give his life for a piece of cake and a glass of wine. My name is Nikon – I am the Lord of these places, and this is my capital, but how will you allow yourself to be called?

– Z… – Zef wanted to say his name, but he changed his mind, – Zarnitsa.

– Well, come with me, Zarnitsa.

Nikon lived in the center of the cities, in a large stone house. The elder had many servants and two twin sons, Arthur and Stepan. They asked to fight against the beast with Zef, but he refused the twins, afraid to hurt them with his weapon.

The sun went over the horizon, when a terrible howl woke nature horror of the most secret corners of the human soul. Bonfires lit at the gates to the capital. The Moon was shining in the sky, its full strength.

People hid behind a high fence, fearing that Zef would not defeat the giant dog and he, angry at the people, would pounce on them. In this case, one of the townspeople tied a cow at the Central gate of the city.

Glowing yellow eyes appeared in the darkness, they approached more and Zef saw the open mouth of the beast, with huge fangs. Saliva dripped from the fangs of the dog, he saw Zef Seth – he stood with a dagger in hand, with my right leg forward.
