- I'm sorry for them, I'll take the gnomes and black elves with me!
"Dara, I still understand gnomes, they will be useful as slaves, servants, they are good artisans, but there is no sense from black elves!"
"It is better to take elven slaves from the forests or ancient elves, they are more expensive, but more friendly!"
"Captain, you are such an ignorant fool!"
"I don't need slaves, we have a different path, we release slaves, we don't follow the path of evil!"
"Who are we"?
- We are modern people from my world!
- They are also living beings created by the Creator!
- We are people, we have no right to enslave someone!
- If someone is ill, you need to come and help!
- It improves fate, karma in the clear sense of the word.
"But you will lose a lot of money!"
- I have more than enough money!
- If with money you can buy happiness for another, ease his path, then this is money well spent!
"How so, these are creatures alien to you and not even people"?
- In our country, there were many very rich people who were themselves poor, fair and said the right things, but their soul lay in the wrong place!
- They deceived others, engaged in dishonest business, gained wealth by robbing their neighbors. They became very rich, but did not help more than one destitute!
- Their path will end, they will be among the losers!
- All of them were created in order to follow the path of enlightenment, happiness and joy, overcoming trials, getting better!
"If you can help them find prosperity, won't that lighten your soul?"
"No, I need money"! -
Money? And I don't need them anymore!
- Therefore, I will take the black elves, gnomes.
"Why? Waste of money, effort, besides, they will not be grateful to you!"
- I do not need their gratitude, like money!
- I want to get home!
"With this, I clearly have no questions!"
"I didn't know you were such a good and noble person!"
"In our mercantile world, people like you are rare to find!"
- Those like me? Yes, you are unique!
- Oh, you flatter me! I won't give you anything!
"No, that's not flattery!"
"It's true, you are a tyrant, you can destroy anyone in our world, while helping people, giving them hope and not expecting gratitude from them!"
"You are naive, but also powerful"!
"There are no such people in our world, I think!"
- You want to say, but you're afraid!
- What am I a naive fool?
The captain remained silent, looking away.
- I'm not a fool! I'm not such a good person, but I'm not a villain either!
- I help them for two reasons.
- Firstly, I feel sorry for them that they suffer just like that!
- Secondly, and this is the main reason I help them so that their karma improves and there is an opportunity to leave your world!
Everything is very mercantile, I have my own interests!
"Wow, and you, Your Excellency, are not a naive fool, but a cynic!"
- Oh, hold your long tongue, I'm kind, but I will not tolerate insults from you, do you want to go to a desert island?
- I will easily arrange it for you, there you can practice your wit as much as you like!
"No, no, your grace, forgive me the fool, I didn't mean to laugh at you, I was frank"!
- Sometimes frankness is worse than flattery!
The captain smiled, he already understood the character of his boss. He was quick-tempered, formidable in words, vindictive, but as a rule, rarely when his threats were put into action. Although... if you pissed off this fat man, he could destroy an entire continent and not a single muscle in his fat face would flinch. Dara, wanted to leave this world, so he tried to bring this day closer by any means! Even if for this you had to play the role of a good man or a villain.
"Yes, I understand, this will not happen again, Dara!"
"Come on, get angry"! - Forget it, although, remember, it's better not to joke with me! - Issue resolved!
"What are you going to talk to them about?"
"Will you go down"?
"We should go with you"?
"Will you take the army with you"?
"You scare them"?
- Why do I need an Army, you or the knights?
- I won't go myself!
Dara, closed his eyes, raised his right hand, snapped his fingers and that was it...
"What did you do"?
Asked in bewilderment, Captain.
- I'm sorry, what?
- Sent them to a good place!
Mountain valley in the gorge of monsters. The gnomes began to master it. Deposits and workshops. There was no need to hide from people, demons, monsters did not attack. A little boring, you can't go beyond the gorge, but there are no dangers either.
This is not in the nature of the dwarves, they are used to fighting. However, the struggle and suffering dragged on too long ... there were too many of them.
Therefore, the gnomes took this chance granted by that strange fat man as good luck in order to heal souls and wounds. Then, having come to their senses, they are gnomes, somehow they will figure out how to get out of the gorge or make contact with that fat man.
The long war divided families and clans. Secret mountain villages were scattered across all continents.
They survived as best they could in isolation from each other ... Sometimes the dwarves were sad, it's good that they had a drink now, the only way this small and proud people could take their souls away.
There was a legend that the gnomes of the mountains descended from the fiery salamander and the spirit of the craft. Flash. Greenish light.
Suddenly, before the eyes of the gnomes, many other gnomes and black elves appeared, in strange poses and clothes. Some in ancient armor, with old runes and ancient weapons, which were all cracked and scratched. But it was still fighting.
Warriors. They were scarred, with tired faces, heavy eyes. Their fingers dug into the hilts of battle axes, shields, spear shafts and swords. Swords have been forged for a long time, they needed a good blacksmith.
The warriors were tired, but ready to rush at the enemy at any moment, with ferocious expressions on their faces, they would inspire fear in everyone else. But the highlanders, the dwarfs, peered with surprise at these faces, they recognized in them their grandfathers, uncles, whom they considered long dead or dead.
They said goodbye to them several centuries ago. It turns out they were alive! Looking around, the gnomes found their other relatives and not only. They were dressed in cast-offs, rags with emaciated bodies, dull eyes.
Next to them stood in tense poses, black elves! their neighbors and allies. The dwarves believed that the race of black elves was completely destroyed in the last war! It was a shock for everyone! Underground gnomes with white faces looked around… they had not seen the sun, light, green grass, murmuring turquoise waters for a long time. Faces of people full of energy, light, life.
Their sensitive ears picked up such a pleasant sound for every dwarf! Hammer strikes on steel, gold coins clinking and the sound of swallowing and smacking from delicious alcohol! It was all there! Faces, gnomes! They were a little familiar to them...these were the young creatures that had fled...it seemed to be their grandchildren, nephews, children...the ones they thought had died in the storm of carnage.
They survived! They flourished! They drank alcohol!
Were rich! They had blacksmiths! They survived and became strong! For the first time in years, the dwarves of the dungeons were really happy!
They did not yet think how they ended up in another place, that they left their belongings ... The black elves were amazed by the changes that had taken place... pure air, full of magical energy. The water is crystal clear and healing.
They caught it right away. Greenery. They saw their allies, but among them, there was not a single face of black elves, only dwarves, really, only dwarves survived, but where are the black elves? At the same time, various emotions were overwhelmed, happiness that they got to a new place, with the sun and sadness that they did not see their relatives, sadness, heaviness in the soul. The underground country was empty. There was no one else in it. Only ruins.
The Captain, was startled and fell silent. Indeed, this Dara, could move an entire country in an instant, and what a country, a continent and their whole world to move to any place! It's truly scary!
Only now, Captain, did he realize that the warning given by this eccentric fat man is very real and extremely terrifying!
A cold sweat broke out in him.
"Where did you send them all"?
Said, Captain, with a trembling voice.
- Don't worry, they are in a good place, along with their allies and relatives!
Captain, he thought, so there are still dwarves and black elves on their continent ???
During the week I could not make an update, there was a lot of work. Now I have found a new job, it is interesting, they pay better than before. There is a lot of work and it's good, but there is little free time.
