“I can’t do that to you now!!” A beautiful vision barked, and gave the Cat a good tug by the ear. He even jumped up in surprise.
-What are you?! He stared at Bagheera in amazement, and broke into a stupid smile. — It’s you!! It’s you!! But how are you…
-After, all after!! We need to hurry! — Bagheera looked back at the dark mouth of the cave.
Goblin jumped off the horse and allowed her to leave.
“You look bad, friends.” He smiled.
— But you’re disgustingly cheerful! Darkness snapped.
-Let’s go faster! Leshy chuckled and stepped into the cave first. It was disgustingly dark, too quiet and damp. Stalactites and stalagmites significantly complicate the path. The cat did not dare to disobey and slowly walked after Leshy. Darkness also gathered the last of his strength. Bagheera, on the other hand, went to the rear, so that if something happened, give the desperate kick a life-giving kick.
The cave at first widened, but then began to narrow, and, in the end, they had to make their way in single file.
The corridor led them into a round stone hall filled with bright light.
“Wow!!” Bagheera exclaimed. And everyone else agreed with her.
The light came from somewhere in the very center of the cave, but it was almost impossible to get close and see. The hall bristled with hundreds of stone battlements, which seemed impossible to get through.
— Everything is lost. Dark sighed wearily.
— Get away, slut. — Leshy stepped forward.
He pulled himself up, broke out a whole stone and, as if in a bowling alley, launched it forward, towards the center. There was a terrible roar, the cave shuddered, and seemed to come to life.
“Forward!!” Leshy yelled, already realizing that he had overdone it a bit.
The mountain shook, stones began to fall from the ceiling of the cave. Shouting in terror, the friends ran down the newly dug tunnel, toward a light so bright it was hard to see. They almost simultaneously entered the portal, and with loud screams fell out. Following them, a huge boulder fell out.
«Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!» the cat yelled and jumped out of his way.
Only then did everyone calm down and start looking at each other.
— Cat!! Are you okay?!
— Bagheera!! Is your tail intact?
— Darkness!! Are you back in shape?!
— It’s all right, Leshy is safe!
They were so happy that they did not even immediately notice where they were.
— Yes, two days to cut from here! — Leshy was amazed. — And it would be better to leave quickly. It’s my wife’s brother’s swamps… We’re… not getting along.
Darkness, having instantly absorbed the forces of true faith, turned its paw on its friends.
— Domchu in a second!
And domcha. Fast and windy. The cat was so happy that he instantly rushed to the porch, collapsed on the boards and exhaled happily.
-Home Sweet Home!!
Bagheera watched him with a smile. Let him rejoice a little, and then she will ask him!
The darkness turned to Leshem.
-So, the stone only reacts to the supernatural? And there, in the cave, it began to glow, because you are devilishly strong there? — He asked, furtively rubbing his side. Something strongly pricked him all the way. Like a stone…
— Yes, something like that. — Goblin retreated. -Pair me.
-Wait! Do you remember that you are our friend? And you can contact us with any request.
-Of course!
Goblin waved his paw at the end and rushed to run. His houses are already waiting. Also, don’t go too close. The forces are not the same! He unclenched his palm, in which lay the stone. Wrapped in a large plantain, it barely flickered. Yes, the forces are not the same. But he has friends…
