The beginning of the fairy tale: https://zen.yandex.ru/media/skizi/skazka-pro-kota-i-mraka-kamen-vremeni-chast-1-5f1ddd88bd3a507b1b03bc78
Bagheera woke up from the noise. Someone on the street was shouting too loudly. Not seeing the usual whitewashed ceiling above her, she jumped up, but instantly remembered everything. The Shaman must have woken up and is now telling his visions! She quickly slipped out into the street. So it was. The shaman, surrounded by the whole tribe, told the Leader about night visions.
-I eeeeeeee how darkness surrounded them!! — Shaman howled almost at the ultrasound.
-Darkness surrounds us all at night! — The Leader sighed and gestured to the Shaman to hurry up.
-I saw how one of them fell into the water, oceans and oceans of water swallowed him up !!
“Yes, there are only a couple of streams in that direction!” The Leader chuckled. Have you lost your ability, Shaman?
-I veeeeeee, — the Shaman squealed, a little frightened, — how they wandered with their last strength to the foot of the Mountain! The mountain has almost swallowed them!! The mountain is about to take their souls!! They can’t make it!! They don’t have time!!!
— What? What ? How?” Bagheera muttered.
— What are you talking about? — The leader got angry and swung at the Shaman.
He pouted and fell silent.
— Where are they now!? Leshy yelled.
— Three hours from the mountain. But they don’t have time. Himself — no way!
“Why did they drag themselves there at all?!” Bagheera stamped her paw.
— And what can we do?!?! — Bagheera uneasily ran around Leshy.
“Everything has already been decided!” Shaman declared in a loud, tragic voice. “They will disappear and stay forever on the Mountain!!!
The leader still gave him a slap in the face.
Leshy chuckled.
— We’ll see! Thank you all, bye everyone!
He beckoned Bagheera to follow him.
— What to do?! Goblin!! What should we do?! We’re already late anyway!??» She rushed after him, trying to keep up.
Goblin, on the other hand, raced in huge leaps deep into the forest.
«Don’t panic!» he shouted back. “Nobody here still believes in either God or the Devil. Therefore they disappear.
What the hell do they believe?
“Me!!” he barked.
He had completely forgotten what it was like to feel the Boundless Magic within him. The forest obeyed him. Every blade of grass, every leaf, every living being here obeyed him. He could summon any animal, any bird, he could turn the rivers back!
Leshy froze, as if listening to himself. And suddenly burst out laughing!
“Sbrendil, or what?” Bagheera was surprised.
«So that’s what it was!» Then!! And I couldn’t take it all in!
Taking a deep breath of intoxicating forest air, he hit the ground with all his might, waited, and hit again. Then he laughed again.
He well remembered how that day his favorite horse threw him off his back. Fast as the wind, the wild horse reared up. She moved her ears. And in a second, she was gone somewhere.
— Hey, I thought we were friends! — He then shouted after her. He rubbed his bruised backside and shook his fist.
They were friends. But the horse fell on the call of the Master. He always knew that horses are the smartest animals!
Bagheera jumped off the path, and almost rolled into the bushes, when a bay mare stopped in front of them. Leshy jumped on his back.
“Is this your plan?!” Bagheera was taken aback.
— It blows faster than the wind!
Bagheera sighed heavily, exhaled, promised the Cat all heavenly punishments, and jumped on the back of the horse.
________________________________________________________________________________________
The cat stumbled over every bump. The darkness didn’t look good either, and they both didn’t feel so good. It became more and more difficult to move the paws, the road took more and more into the mountains, and there was less and less strength left.
-Everything, I can’t do it anymore! Darkness muttered and collapsed under the nearest spruce.
— Hey, get up! — The cat pushed his friend in the side, could not stand on his feet and fell next to him. — Gloom, we need to go!
They sat for a while, then got up and moved on with a heavy tread. Finally, the forces left them almost at the very entrance to the cave.
-Cat, come on, come on! There is not much left! — Darkness turned around and could barely see the silhouette of his friend. He already looked like a ghost.
— That’s it, Darkness. This is the end. The cat fell, spread its paws and looked up at the sky. Maybe not the worst death is to melt into fog. He felt like a horse whinnied somewhere nearby. I remembered my favorite cartoon about a horse in the fog. It’s not scary to die, it’s a pity that the beloved is not around.
— Kooot! — It seemed to him that Bagheera called him. He smiled a sad smile. Mind games. She can’t be here.
— I’m sorry, my love, that I could not return to you. — With his last breath, he said and closed his eyes.
