The summer-like hot sun mercilessly baked the back of my head. I rolled up both pants and dipped my feet into the cool water of the lake. The bluish mirror surface reflected rare fluffy clouds and crowns of nearby trees. A turquoise dragonfly flew past and hovered nearby over the water surface, sparkling its wings in the sun.It's good to be a dragonfly, I thought. You fly all day long back and forth and do not know grief. The fat frog appeared out of nowhere. A swift throw and the life of a tiny creature was cut short.In the same way, a couple of hours ago, my last hope for Nick's mutual feelings was cut short. And now the feeling of uselessness and bitter disappointment in myself corroded me from the inside. And all because of my friend Lisa. It was she who constantly praised Nick and made me pay attention to him.“Look what it is,” she sighed languidly. Well, I looked.Black-haired and black-eyed, like all dark ones, Nick was indeed handsome and, last but not least, bore a well-kn

foreSeveral hundred years ago, my race faced an unsolvable problem. The Luerians, having achieved colossal technological progress and the development of science, were unable to save their planet from energy depletion.The problem was that we existed simultaneously in two bodies: material and energy. My home planet Luer was surrounded by a powerful force field, which was a kind of receptacle not only for the essences of the living Luerians, but also long dead.From the moment of his birth until the end of his life, every Luerian drew from this field of power and could transform its energy into various objects, and after death, his second essence went back to the Foremother and Forefather, in order to return again one day. So it used to be...When it became clear to even the most optimistic that the planet could not be saved, the High Council decided to look for a new home. Not only the heads of state, but all the inhabitants of the planet pinned great hopes on the very first expeditio

The first thing I heard, as soon as I woke up, was an argument between three men and the monotonous clatter of wheels. The first thing I felt was a terrible pain in the back of my head and neck. With great difficulty, I opened my eyes, and the only thing I could see in the position that I was in was my own knees. My hands were behind my back and bound so tightly that I could hardly feel my fingers. I wonder how long I stay in this position?- How much do you think they will give for a knife? The vile voice of one of the kidnappers sounded right next to me. Two more sat opposite. I squinted down at my hip and with great effort forced myself to stay still. They took my mother's blade, and the one who twisted it in his hands had already signed his own death warrant.The carriage swayed, my splitting head swayed in time, I wanted to scream in pain, but I only bit my cheek from the inside.“Too conspicuous,” the second one chuckled, “are you not afraid that the crows will figure you out?”

I opened my eyes and tried to focus my gaze, despite the luminous points flickering before my eyes and the glare from tiny lightning. It was dark all around, as if I were in a closed room without light sources. The head and back hurt very much, on which the main blow fell. He tried to move his legs and with great effort brought his hand to his face. Your fingers felt something warm and wet. Blood. Oh, Vir will not like this very much.Something stirred nearby. I squinted and managed to make out a girl who was poking around in ... my filter mask! Horror covered my head, the air suddenly seemed heavy and alien, I touched my mouth and nose and only now realized that the mask was not in place. We have not yet managed to determine the composition of the air in accordance with our physiology. This is the end. If blood poisoning doesn't kill me, my lungs will soon fail.The plunderer of my equipment sat beside me and enthusiastically studied Luerian technology. She took off my mask! The girl

A recognized beauty, a good student, an advantageous match for any dark ... for some time now it did not matter. Twice thrown at the altar girl - that's what really excited the minds of everyone around.It is difficult to describe the feelings that have twisted her soul for years, especially after regular dinner parties in her father's house. Previously, it always seemed that her parents love her for who she is, her friends respect and even slightly fear the higher dark one, and the whole world lies at her feet.

Kyle Kears-Eyre carefully studied the reports handed to him and came to disappointing conclusions. Most likely, the head of the Order of Darkness himself came to the same conclusions and now wanted to hear his opinion. The fact that Aiden Air himself was listening to him always puzzled Kyle. It was whispered behind his back that this favor was the fruit of their close family connection, and the uncle was just trying to promote his nephew in the service. Only Kyle himself, and even more so the head of the order, knew that they were not relatives at all. Then why does the high-born dark listen to him ... flawed ...- What do you say? his uncle asked, interrupting Kyle's gloomy thoughts of his own worthlessness.- Nothing good. The fact that the inhabitants of the north saw a group of mercenaries could be attributed to anything. But emissions of darkness? Something is happening. I understand that the south is also restless. Obviously, they want to distract us from something important and

The sun barely touched the horizon, and the boundless sky, slightly covered with clouds, blazed red.Reiner stood at the window and watched with bated breath as Mira fooled around with her nephew in the yard. She tossed Chubby Race up, and the air shook with children's laughter and squeals. The dark one put the baby on the ground and gave a tear. Race, as if glued, ran after his aunt, accompanying this matter with unimaginable sounds.Venira was sitting nearby on a bench with a book and did not take any part in this strange game. That's someone who is definitely not interested in children. Reiner took a deep breath. Until recently, it seemed to him that his wife did not think about it either. But then Lane came to the shelter with her family, and now Mira spent almost all her free time with the little one.Hunters don't have families. This simple truth seemed absurd to him for the last couple of years. Why not? Since his feelings woke up, and Mira finally reciprocated, the ban on star

Roland Reid's office was different from the others. Or rather, he differed precisely in order. So frightening. Perfectly fitted racks, between which even a speck could not fall, papers on the desktop are folded one to one ... the folders behind the glass stand perfectly even and sorted by color. Veneera shrugged her shoulders involuntarily and turned her gaze to the Steward of the Western Lands.- What do you say? - he asked.What could she say? On this conversation, he pulled her right out of the next congress of the dark ones. The dress embroidered with stones to the very throat made it difficult to breathe normally and move the neck, the shoes rubbed, and the head hurt from the high hairstyle. All this was tolerable compared to the numerous undressing looks of dark men and contemptuous appraisal from women. But today there was also something pleasant, forbidden, which excited the blood and made the whole evening bestow smiles on gentlemen ... That's why she thought about him again?
