Chapter 1. Goblins
I regained consciousness, feeling that I somewhere connected am carried. Legs and hands became numb from pain. Having opened eyes, I lost a speech power for an instant — around in a dense grass there were low little men less than a meter high with green skin and the wrinkled faces. Four porters carried in free hands a spear of rough quality, reminding a spear of primitive people. They went apparently to the tents standing not far.
— Hey boys, it is good to play the fool! — Loudly I said to these green guys in hope that it is some silly joke. I have likely hallucinations and at all not green people, and quite to themselves such simple children in white dressing gowns carry me on a stretcher now.
In reply, one of these little green men uttered rapidly something, but I did not understand any word from told. These little men resembled very much computer characters — goblins.
Soon they reached a glade around which the semicircle located tents.
The biggest tent left the goblin who unlike other goblins on a neck had a necklace from small crocks of small rodents. In his hands, he was holding a staff of a bigger skull.
— Grrbvkhukh to the tkh? — This goblin rumbled, pointing a finger at me.
— Arrgkh vren tkha — continued he, showing to a staff on me.
— Who are you such? Why I was connected? — loudly I was indignant.
— Kungkh drin vtykh — loudly said the goblin and touched the staff my forehead, empty eye-sockets of a staff sparkled a green flame and right there went out.
For an instant, I fainted…
— Now you understand me? — I hear a voice at myself in the head from nowhere.
— Yes well to hell what occurs? — I thought.
— I am Gliston, the leader of the tribe of goblins «A green grass» and the shaman of the 7th level! I communicate with you through a spell of thought
Speeches. Answer who you are such stranger? — The leader looked at me with feeling of own superiority.
— My name is Vladimir Naumov. I do not know how I appeared here. Why I am connected? — I answered.
— This night in the side of the Middle Mountains there were lightning and most of them beat in the area of poles of ancient. In the morning on this glade, my soldiers found you and delivered here. And now I have to be convinced that you do not constitute for us danger. — having said it he suddenly fixedly began to look to me in the face and made hand pass, from top to down.
My eyes were closed and consciousness failed in darkness. the come dream was some strange: I dreamed what happened to me since that moment as I regained consciousness on the witch Garvena’s altar till the moment as threw out me on this glade Ancient. There was a feeling as if whom — that stands nearby behind a shoulder during my dream and watches me.
It was difficult to call awakening pleasant precisely. Having opened eyes, I found out that I lie on a laying from withered straw in one of huts of goblins. After a while couple of goblins came into a tent, threw to me some rags, which are bearing a faint resemblance to trousers and a shirt.
Having put on and having reeled up couple of rags on legs, I with high spirits proceeded for goblins to the leader’s tent.
The leader in the tent sat on the decorated chair with such important look as though he sits on a gold throne.
— The stranger, you arrived from other world to our world with the name «Centroniya». Your memory of other world until your capture by the witch is closed for me. Therefore, we cannot release you just like that. Especially as you know nothing about this world at all and do not know local language.
— Dress this amulet, it will help communication until you learn to tell and understand our language.
The goblin approached me and gave an amulet on a rope. Having put on it a neck, I addressed the leader:
— What will be with me? Why you left me in live?
— Ancestral spirits told me that in you there is a magic spark. And it means that you can leave the good magician at due desire and training. I can train you in what I am able to do itself, but you will have to swear an oath on blood in devotion to my tribe, or can go wherever one wishes. But know if you leave now, then most likely you will die. Around there are a lot of dangers which to you without knowledge and the help not to experience. You have time to think till tomorrow’s morning for now go have a rest. Also remember, Noted that we the only tribe of goblins, which does not eat people…
I was taken away by the same goblins «escorts» back in that pathetic tent in which I regained consciousness. Lying on straw, I tried to collect the thoughts. What turns out, I actually in other world and it is not similar to a hallucination. Here really there is a magic and I am a potential magician??
Probably the leader did not leave me the choice, to go now to uncertainty means to die. But also ther
