The beginning of the fairy tale: https://zen.yandex.ru/media/skizi/skazka-pro-kota-i-mraka-kamen-vremeni-chast-1-5f1ddd88bd3a507b1b03bc78
The leader brought Bagheera and Leshy to his clearing.
-Eehhh, — Leshy sighed, looking around. -Eehh.
“Well, don’t moan already.” Bagheera was indignant.
— What are you, — Leshy murmured, — this is Eden! Paradise! Delight! Look what a forest! Mansions!! I’m here that your King was! And what swamps! And wastelands! And no people for you! Who would have known they would grow like this.
— What? — The leader lost his pace and turned around.
“Nothing.” Leshy muttered angrily and shook his mighty back with his fist. Then he sighed again. — You know what kind of tribute he paid me! Cranberries! Pounds!! And how many nuts! And skins! Bear!!
Why do you need skins? Also bears? — Bagheera was surprised.
-And the devil knows! They dragged, I took! Who in their right mind would refuse a skin!?
-Really! Bagheera just shook her head. She nervously looked up at the sky. To be in time before the return of the newlyweds. I don’t want to disturb the World once again.
-Come! — The Leader hissed at them and first darted into the bushes.
Bagheera hesitated, but Leshy quickly dragged her along.
“Why hide, why?” she exclaimed indignantly.
— First you need to make sure that everything is in order! — The Leader explained, and measured Bagheera with such a look, as if he had never seen anyone more stupid in his life.
The observation turned up nothing. The tribe lived its own life. Warriors sharpened weapons, children played, women cooked food.
-Okay. The leader grunted displeasedly and climbed into the clearing.
The warriors instantly rushed to their Leader and tightly surrounded him. The identification process has begun. Some assured that it seemed to be similar, others — that it was not very. Leshy just laughed in the bushes. Bagheera remained silent. Finally, the brave warriors showed miracles of ingenuity and decided that only the Shaman could help them in this matter. He reluctantly got out of the largest yurt, which the Leader had previously occupied, and waddled up to the main warrior.
“We all saw our Great Leader devoured by fire!!” he yelled.
— Yeah! — Picked up the warriors.
-It seems to be a trumpet. Bagheera was worried.
“Wait!” Leshy waved him away, giggling.
— This impostor cannot be our Leader in any way! — Shouted the Shaman and the soldiers pointed their spears at the pale Leader.
-Ah! — The warriors were horrified, and the circle narrowed.
— What? — the Leader was indignant, — Why did they surrender to me !!??
-Eat our children!! — The Shaman raised his voice.
— What? — The leader wanted to rush at him with his fists, but the warriors came even closer, and sharp tips rested on his sides from all sides.
— Goblin! — Bagheera got worried.
“Okay, okay!” He giggled one last time and put on a stern look. Resolutely went out to the clearing.
— Eeeey !!!! — he thumped loudly so that the trees swayed. A flock of birds flew up, and the insects fell silent. The forest smelled the owner.
The warriors turned around in horror, and in a matter of seconds they were behind the shaman, already leaning against his back with spears. The leader did not move. With an effort of will, he forced himself to stay where he was. Turned around slowly. Leshy winked at him and stepped even closer. The leader spoke.
-I was really devoured by the light!! I got into another world!! He fought there like a Warrior, like a Lynx, like a Wild Tiger!! And returned back to you, with a victory!! I captured…
-Khm…- Goblin interrupted him.
— The Master of the Forest helped me to return. And his sub…
— Hm…
-And the Great and Wise Goddess of the Night!!
— A born orator. — Bagheera admired.
She got out onto the path next to Leshy. The warriors gasped and fell to their knees. The shaman completely fell into a swoon.
