After the Shaman was brought to his senses, and the warriors finally recognized their Leader, the whole trinity gathered in the largest yurt.
— In general, the plan is simple! — The leader paced back and forth and fiercely twisted the hatchet in his hands. “Since these two managed to escape, we will demand from the Shaman to find out where they went.
— But is it possible? — Bagheera experienced mixed feelings. On the one hand, joy. These ferocious people with spears did nothing to hurt either the Cat or Gloom. On the other hand, she was worried. This new old world felt much bigger and more dangerous than their usual one. The sounds and smells were different. Sharper, richer, more disturbing.
-Of course! Fly agaric decoction and special herb. Visions for the whole night. — The Leader explained.
-Won’t he cheat?
— If he wants to live, he will not deceive him! — Leshy grinned, clenching and unclenching his fists.
It was already getting dark when the whole tribe gathered around the fire. The leader expressed his demands, and Shamanam happily nodded his head. Everything he needed was brought to him. A bowler hat, a few fresh fly agarics, a bowl of water, and a bunch of green grass that looks like nettles.
— It’s a cana… — Leshy was surprised, but Bagheera poked him in the side, calling for silence.
It was crazy to watch it all. The shaman drank his potion and began to dance. He twisted wildly at different angles and galloped wildly to the booming beats of the drums. Sometimes it seemed to Bagheera that some images appeared in the fire, she saw a Cat, for some reason completely transparent. Darkness was seen, barely standing on his feet. At such moments she would close her eyes and try to banish the vision.
In the morning, the Shaman collapsed as if he had been cut down and fell into a heavy sleep.
-Finally! — The Leader sighed, throwing a club in his palm. “I was wondering if I could help.
«So what now?» Bagheera sighed.
Well, wake up by noon and find out.
The leader benevolently invited the guests to his yurt. He offered to settle down, and he collapsed into a corner and instantly fell asleep. Goblin, like a gentleman, gave way to Bagheera the rug, and he himself perched forlornly in the corner. She just shook her head. She went outside and sat by the fire. The warriors had long since dispersed, and the clearing was empty. Bagheera raised her eyes to the sky. The darkest hour is just before dawn, she reminded herself. The bright stars were blinding. I wanted to stretch out my paw and touch, feel their coldness, take a walk along the path of the Milky Way.
— Well, at least, Cat, now we are under the same sky. she muttered, and returned to the yurt. It was necessary to sleep.
