Land – Nordale, Veronica Melan – LitRes

It smells of cinnamon, space and the sea,

There are different maps, the reactor is built,

There, the old woman wrapped herself in comfort,

There the sleeping heart woke up with delight.

People are different there; and there is a Map of Fates,

And only Drake knows what was and will be,

Magic carpet weaves a miracle underfoot,

There you can and should follow your dreams,

There guys are steel, the laws are foggy,

And the Commission is in charge of them strange,

I’ll come to the station, and the cashier, squinting.

“One to Nordale” I will say. And I will close my eyes…

Chapter 1

Bernard.

I didn’t notice this balcony on the second floor of the mansion until Claire “pictured” it. From somewhere, a longitudinal soft rug appeared on the floor, a couple of macrame panels on the walls, plants blooming in tubs near the wall, a table and two wicker chairs. And that’s it, the balcony has become my favorite place for breakfast.

Now I was enjoying my morning tea; outside the window the sun, greenery sprouted on the trees. Space outside, space inside. Nordale knew how to show not only the change of seasons, but also to infuse feelings into you: if it’s winter, then fluffy, with a fireplace and falling snow, if it’s summer, then with tanned cheeks and shining eyes after swimming. And if spring, then an incomprehensible alluring freedom, as if not only dormant plants woke up, but also a new reserve of strength in yourself, in that part of the soul that desires flight, new impressions, achievements, stormy joy.

For some time now I have had a fetish to bring newspapers from my home world and read them with tea with thin sweet wafers. The contrast came out amazing: in their native world they are fighting for power, building factories, rallies, releasing new medicines, introducing traffic rules, discussing football matches. And then there’s Nordale. And always calm. I’m sure, because behind my back there is always the silhouette of a loving, able to protect Drake from all the misfortunes. Drake, who at the snap of a finger will build a new level or demolish the old one. This knowledge has always tickled from the inside with solar pollen.

This time I was reading international news: about old people in Cuba, a simplified system for obtaining visas to Malta, and a submarine missing off the coast of Bali. It’s so interesting to learn about your native world from the parallel world, it’s like sitting in a movie theater, taking the best seat and wearing 3D glasses on your nose.

When Dane stepped onto the balcony, I was just rustling through the pages.

A big white-haired man stormed our house a couple of times a week in the morning: he came for cookies that Claire baked specially for him. These cookies in large bags (breathable! She specially bought breathable ones so that the pastries did not become stale) went to the headquarters, where they were eaten, as I believed, by Dane (mostly) and Steven (less). It might have gone to someone else, but I’d bet a couple of coins on the fact that Elconto didn’t want to share it with junior employees, because he got too attached to crumbly “bois” baked according to a secret recipe. The buas, which I first called “buas” and later “bugs”, were sprinkled with almond petals and abounded with chocolate chips. In general, the taste is extraordinary.

– Are you reading?

They glared at me, pushing through the carcass of the adjacent chair.

– Yeah.

– News of your world?

Colleagues knew about my hobby. The more interesting it was for them, the less scrawl they understood in the overseas text.

– Exactly.

Dane tried to sit like a master and stretch his legs, but the balcony was too short – he had to push his legs under the chair.

– Read to me the first thing that comes across.

– You won’t understand anything anyway…

– Well, just out of curiosity.

I smiled. It was always warm and safe near Elconto. And more fun.

– Okay … – I opened it at random. – “Today, the Indian Raja Govindan takes office…”

– Gawyondan? – Elconto already leaned from his chair to my newspaper. – Is that what it says? Gavnadan?

“Govindan,” I chuckled.

When a man is two meters tall, has a white hedgehog on his head and bulging eyes – it’s funny.

– Come on! No one in sober memory could call his son Govnodam. I don’t believe it!

– Well, this is India, another country … Maybe there it means “sun-faced” or, I don’t know, “bright-eyed.”

– Clear-eyed Gawyeongdan? Dane suddenly burst out laughing so loudly that the windows in the frames shook. – No, well, it had to be invented!

I did not explain again that it was not “Gavnadam”, but “Govindan”. God knows, indeed, what meaning this name had among the Hindus, but in Russian it sounded funny. And just give our sniper everything related to the “gomno”, and jokes will fall like a cornucopia.

Dane was silent for a while, thinking. He put his hand into the bag with the “insects”, began to put them one by one in his mouth. Before paying attention to the unnatural silence, I managed to finish reading the article and skim a couple of headlines below. And then she looked at Dane.

He always laughed as if he wore a disguise. A kind of brave, resilient guy, capable of going through any mess with his own laughter, but I wouldn’t be Dina if I hadn’t learned to determine the degree of seriousness under the mirror lake from jokes.

And now the sniper was scratched from the inside, I would even say, gnawed. Probably, thinking about his own, he would have finished half the package, would have sat with me for another ten minutes, and then got up and left. But I asked:

– Hey, what’s wrong?

Elconto started up. I realized that the mask had cracked, I wanted to cover it with a new one, hastily woven, but decided that I could be honest with me, sighed.

– Yes, something unpleasant happened here.

– With whom? Sled?

– No, thank the Creator, not with Anya.

And who should he grieve about then?

– Speak already…

And I stared at the two-meter friend, with whom we, as it happened, went through both fire and water, intently, like an owl.

– You know that I lead the War…

Surprised. I know.

– So one of my acquaintances, a friend, got there.

– You mean hit? How is the rebel? – I thought. – Well, it will pass to the end or wake up if it grabs a bullet.

“Ani has passed.”

“That’s the point,” Dane sighed, “not like a rebel. But as a soldier.

The soldiers, I remembered, are those on the other side who are fighting against the rebels. Usually these are convicts exiled to death. And soldiers from the War no longer go back to the Levels, only to their world in case of death. Drake once explained this scheme to me, but I remembered it only formally, without details.

– You mean like a soldier? Was he convicted?

– Was. And exiled to the war for life.

Unpleasant. But I suddenly thought that it would be wrong to go to Drake with the words “help Dane’s friend” – something in this case did not stick and did not fit, as if intuition had previously declared that this step would be wrong. And so I was silent for a full minute.

Elconto sighed, he understood.

– I didn’t want you to go to Drake. In the end, I would go to him myself if I felt it was right. But something tells me the answer is going to be tough.

So something told me the same thing.

The topic is, of course, a touchy one. On the one hand, an acquaintance of Elconto and, therefore, not a stranger, on the other hand, not all friends of friends can be helped if the latter stumble. So as not to offend, I chose the next phrase as carefully as possible:

– Well … he will die, he will return to his world. Maybe good too? Maybe he finished things on the Levels? Drake had explained that those who had gained the necessary experience…

Dane continued to grimace.

– I wouldn’t worry if everything is as you say. But he is a good guy and also a better fighter. One of the best I know. He will fight there to the end. One, two, ten, twenty… Like Boyd.

Like Boyd, that’s bad.

With all my dislike for such topics, I still asked:

– Why was he convicted?

Elconto was silent for a long time before answering. He chewed one cookie, then three more at once, and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

– I have known Brown for more than a year. He could be one of us, could work for the Commission, that’s how good he is. It’s just that no one called him. Or he didn’t want to, I don’t know. He worked in a private agency as a bodyguard, the last couple of years guarding some businessman – I don’t know the name. And this businessman went badly wrong, they came for him from the Commission. But Brown did not understand that the Commissioners (they were in civilian clothes), tried to put one of them to bed, got it immediately “for life.” You know what laws we have if you raise your hand against Werther.

I knew. Harder than hard. Agents were not very fond of forgiving without that, and even if an attempt was made to attack…

– So this Brown tried, without knowing it, to kill the Agent?

– Uh-huh.

Then it is clear why the War.

– Well, maybe tomorrow he will die at your Level…

– He won’t die, I already told you. Will fight there to the end. People like him don’t give up. And war, especially ours – senseless and endless – burns out. And in ten years nothing will remain even of the best person. That’s why I’m dark. Since you asked.

We could probably end the conversation with that. It’s a nice day, sunny, everything will sort itself out somehow. Elconto will go to headquarters, eat about thirty more “insects”, in the evening Ani will cheer him up … But suddenly something began to scratch me too. With all my love for Nordale and the Levels, the Commission, in my human opinion, has not always acted fairly. Although Drake would probably argue with me. I would have given a bunch of arguments that were incomprehensible to me, but very cleverly formulated arguments, I would have said “trust me” and I would have to believe. I loved the Great and Terrible, and love without trust is not love.

But Drake was away from Noredale because he was away for a couple of days to investigate a “secondary core” unknown to me in a parallel system. God knows, I did not understand anything in this wording, but I understood that so far it did not exist, and there were no arguments. Brown is at war, Dane is sad.

“Listen,” I asked after a long pause and intense creaking of my brain, “is this friend of yours, is he not aggressive? Not a maniac, not a moral freak?

Dane frowned.

– No. I vouch for his character. And what?

– We can move him to my world, that’s what. I just don’t want to move any … unstable minds there, if you understand. I love my planet too.

– Move?

We looked at each other for a long time like conspirators.

– Well, look. If the Commission sent Brown to War, then they don’t care that at some point he will disappear from the Levels, right?

– So.

– And surely they don’t care if he disappears in ten years or today? So why would a person burn out?

Elkonto’s blond eyebrows went up.

– Today?

Uh-huh, because Drake will be back soon. And if he returns, and we do not complete this business, then Mr. Chief can impose a strict ban on our actions. Until he put it on.

– Time is a zigel. I tapped my watch wrist.

– What?

Nothing. You just need to seize your Brown until the Chief returns and forget about it with a clear conscience. As if nothing happened.

– Will we get hit in the neck?

The million dollar question. There was a chance, of course. On the other hand, I did not see any contradictions in the system: in case of death, soldiers leave the War for their home worlds. Who cares if one good guy leaves without a “case of death” and not to his world, whatever it may be, but to mine? There, of course, you will have to deal with money, housing and documents, but all this can be thought out later, now, the main thing is not to fall under the direct gaze of the “all-seeing eye”.

– Let’s agree this way. Until you go to the War, find your friend, bring him to the headquarters to be safe. At the same time, you will bring the Hulk there …

– Why the Hulk?

– To measure the level of stability of consciousness, aggression and so on. I need to be sure that I will not throw a moral freak onto Earth.

– Logically, I agree.

– And then give me a signal with a bracelet that everything is ready. I’m still thinking about the details.

Here is the morning for you. I didn’t finish reading the newspaper, I didn’t finish my tea, I undertook to save “Private Ryan”.

But there was something important in all this – Dane’s eyes cleared up. It was as if a heavy stone had moved aside, as if a cloud that covered the sunlight and mood had dissipated. Important, however, to our sniper was this friend.

– Five bugs from you! I held out my hand brazenly, even though I could have gone into the kitchen and asked Claire to make me her own bag. But here the principle is important, not the cookie.

Elconto willingly put a huge paw into the bag and pulled out much more than five for me. He poured all this into the palms of his hands, from where the “buaches” safely migrated to the tea saucer.

– Deal! Now to business.

Dane looked at me as seriously as ever before getting up.

– I am your eternal debtor.

“Eternal,” I confirmed with the stone face of the red-skinned leader. – Let’s remember that.

While leaving, the sniper still grinned. So, complacency returned to him, so not in vain.

Chapter 2

(Furkan Sert – Hold on to Me)

The one who started it all, Brown, sat in Elconto’s staff chair with his back to the screens. Without handcuffs, unshaven, downcast, with a broken face, but, judging by the look, unbroken. Exactly, the second Boyd.

The Hulk stopped me in the hallway. By the time the call button on my bracelet lit up, I was still puzzling over where and how to rent an apartment for Dane’s friend and what to do with his documents – there was no single plan of action.

“I watched it,” Konrad said quietly, “and…

For some reason I didn’t like the pause after the “and” at all.

– So what?

– The level of aggression … within the normal range, I would say. Practically.

– Practically? Let’s use simple words to make it clear.

The headquarters was always dim, and bright eyes flickered against the background of the sensor’s tanned face.

– He is… on edge. Perhaps because he fought an hour ago.

– Will it calm down if placed in a safe environment?

– There is a chance. So far, the data is such that he himself will not get into an unreasonable fight, but if they say bad things, he will respond with a blow.

– Understood.

This confused the plans even more. This means that Brown is not desirable to be placed in a densely populated area, that is, in a city. Better somewhere away from people. To a village, a village? Into the wilderness? Where to look for housing there?

– Can you force him to calm down?

– I wouldn’t rush into it.

– Why?

– Talk to him first. You will understand.

– Clear.

And I moved into the main screen room.

Here, even indoors, war felt like war. Too gloomy faces, the elusive smell of burning from clothes; bruises and scratches on the face of the prisoner did not add to the atmosphere of joy.

I was able to see him for the first time, Brown. A tall man, well-cut, long hair on top, stubble, hard look. I even remembered the detachment in those days when I was not part of the team, but was their unwanted possible future “colleague”. Then I pricked a lot about such unfriendly glances, making their way to the spine. Baal alone was worth something… The man in the chair did not look as hostile as Regnostsiros once did, but he did not beam with friendliness either. And I decided to move on to the main thing without preamble.

– We offer you a choice: stay in the War or move to another world where a peaceful atmosphere reigns. We will provide you with money and housing for the first time, then you can arrange life as you wish.

Brown, whose eyes were either gray or bluish (in the twilight it was impossible to make out), squinted at Dane standing next to him.

– Who is she?

– You better listen to her. And carefully.

I rarely heard steel in Elconto’s voice, but now it cut through.

– I can transport you. – I deliberately chose this word instead of “teleport” – no need for details. She added softly, “Why waste years on senseless slaughter here?

The prisoner was silent for a while.

– Why are you helping me?

He was not inclined to trust, he also stopped believing in free cheese a long time ago.

“Because I asked her to,” the sniper growled. I haven’t seen him not “darling” for a long time, then I was directly surprised, I looked again at the length and breadth of the familiar Dane. Of course, another man could not rule the war, and maybe it’s a good thing that I didn’t see him like this very often. Here, in the underground bunker, a man ruled, shooting without a miss, whose hand did not tremble when the trigger was pressed. Because of the striking contrast, I looked at the “hedgehog” for a long time. Then she returned to Brown.

– What do you think? Are you interested in our offer?

In the doorway behind me, a sensor was watching our dialogue.

– Move to another world?

– Yes.

Pause.

– Actually… I was planning to go back to the Levels. When I get out.

“You won’t come out,” Dane clarified, “soldiers from the War only go out into death.” And then they go to their native worlds.

– I… can’t.

Strange phrase. Completely unplanned, like everything today. I thought Brown would rejoice at the opportunity to avoid a long and senseless punishment, seize the opportunity, but he only grew gloomy.

– What’s the matter? Elconto asked for me. – Do you want to fight here until the victory? So this War has no meaning, no end. Was it in vain that I bothered for you?

And for the first time, the one who was sitting in the chair sighed, lowered his head, and rubbed his eyes. Not like a soldier, like a human being.

– Here I have… a beloved woman. I promised her that I would return.

Ugh, you irritatedly spat Dink inside me. I understood her. And this guy too. If you promised to return, you will not want to live in another world.

“Dane,” I called softly, “we need to talk.”

Already in the corridor we were talking at the minimum volume.

“Listen, I didn’t know,” the sniper justified himself. He didn’t tell me anything about the woman. Maybe you just found it?

– That’s not the point. If I throw the “family”, Drake will definitely not praise me. “Even with all your love for me.” Some things I already knew. – To do what?

– Return him to the War?

– He will die on it. Sooner or later. And then he will definitely not return to the Levels.

– Any ideas?

– Yes. But very unsteady so far…

– Go ahead.

Now the words had to be chosen carefully.

– In general, you have such a choice. Or stay here to fight, but if you grab a bullet, we won’t know where to look for you, because you will end up in the world from where you got to the Levels. Or you can wait for some time in a quiet place, and we will think about whether it is possible to transfer data about you to the Commission Base. The process, as you know, is not easy. Perhaps nothing will come of it… No guarantees… You must understand that.

Brown listened carefully. In fact, he was sympathetic to me even with his incredulity. He was adapted to defend himself, to survive, he has not yet left the fighter mode. His words about the woman made it clear that he was normal, just like me or Dane, just a person who did not want to be separated from the one he loved.

– So, will you go back to the battlefield? Or will we start looking for a peaceful home for you?

In the eyes of others, tension, an attempt to predict whether a change in the Commission database is really possible, despair, unwillingness to make the wrong choice.

“I won’t insist,” I sighed. After all, I have a lot of other things to do today. – Decide.

Brown is about six feet and a bunch of pounds of bare muscle. A kilometer away from the bunker, shells are exploding, people are dying. The rest survive on rare dry rations and half-empty first-aid kits. Not life, but complete shit, we all remembered the stories of Ani-Ra …

– Housing, peaceful, – Brown finally said hoarsely. “But I will have to go back.

That’s hard-nosed.

You must leave the War first, I shook my head. Baby steps, as they say. One step at a time and you’ll see.

Chapter 3

(UNSECRET feat. Katie Herzig – Buried)

Same day.

Inga Kret.

– … your irresponsibility led to damage to the bridge structure and human casualties. Do you understand it?

Commission Court Hall. For the third time in my short life. The first two times I got off with verbal warnings (lucky): at first I was detained in the company of guys selling dope, then, trying to fight back in the gateway, I hit one freak with a stone. And no, he didn’t die, so I wasn’t imprisoned, but this time…

How to explain to them, these faceless robots, that everything that happened is just banal bad luck? Yes, I’m not the best person in the world, I admit it. Temporarily unemployed, I like to hang out in the evenings in bars – who likes being alone? I was just trying to build my own happiness. Last night I tried, by the way, too, when I wrote SMS while driving that I had escaped from the traffic jam, that I was already on my way. The guy who invited me on a date looked decent, I wanted to finally be happy. Is it punishable?

Who would have thought that I would be carried out on the bridge to the oncoming lane, that a truck would be found there that swerved because of my ridiculous maneuver, that the gas tank would be too heavy, that the truck would collapse, and after a couple of seconds it would blaze. And yes, watching what happened in the rearview mirror, I was horrified.

The bridge was damaged – that’s true. I sighed.

I was told that the driver did not die, escaped with burns, that he would be cured at the Commission’s expense. So everything is fine?

But it wasn’t good, judging by the faces of the three in silver uniforms sitting at the table. Another one, standing at the door, drilled me with a hard look.

“Just bad luck…” I wanted to say, but it’s useless to argue with them. I tried the first two times.

– I understand. I plead guilty,” she whispered softly.

They won’t execute me, will they? Not sentenced to death? There were no casualties other than the driver. It seems to be…

– You fled the scene of the crime.

– I… got scared.

Was it necessary to stop and run towards the flames that soared to the sky? The panic of last night was still pounding in my throat. A night spent in a deaf room without windows only added to the weakness.

“Got it. To the fullest.”

Agents found me quickly, too quickly, I didn’t even have time to get home.

– Inga Kret, inhabitant of the fourteenth Level, – the average man, buried in papers, was silent. – You are being sentenced…

Scenes from the horror film circled before my eyes – mines, damp chambers, closed Levels. Which of these is scarier? They were going to deprive me of my freedom, but that’s the same as killing me. And no one gave water to moisten his parched throat.

– … to be deported from the World of Levels. Code D2C. Do it.

The last one was thrown to a man in uniform standing at the door.

My brain is deaf. Deportations? Am I being evicted from Levels? Where? I’ve heard of homeworlds, but you had to die to get to them. Will I be deprived of my life? Execute? What is this D2C?!

On my own, I couldn’t even get off the rostrum where I was standing – someone else’s tough grip helped me by taking my elbow.

* * *

(J2 feat. Coleen McMahon – Flame Keeper)

He, the one who took me outside, was now driving a car. For some reason I thought: there will be a new camera. A table, a syringe with poison or gas … Well, if not an electric chair. The street is good, the street is better than the camera.

While the driver filled out the luminous sign, marking something, I felt like an inadequate stoner. I was laughing, almost hilarious, and horrified to the point of what was going to happen next. Hence the complete confusion: it was as if I had already fallen out of the Levels, but there was no ground under my feet – I had to forget the house, this city, the people I knew. For them, I no longer exist, for no one else.

“Don’t kill,” I asked hoarsely.

They looked at me calmly and heavily. And for the first time I noticed that the driver is handsome. Damn. This made it even crazier. He was one of the people that I would fuck, which is a big compliment. There are girls who, looking at the photos of guys, say: “Well … he’s okay,” “does it,” or “cute.” I almost never said that. For me, men were usually divided into “terrible” or “complete freak. ” I don’t know why. Someone had the wrong shape of the head, someone had protruding ears, someone had inexpressive eyes, cheekbones or mouth – for me there were always flaws.

But not this one.

The face is correct, very strong-willed. Almost magazine-like, only with a touch of hardness, a very direct piercing gaze, a beautiful nose, well-defined lips. And these barely noticeable folds at the mouth – a flint man. It smelled like a nuclear warhead; he was wearing that damned silver uniform with white stripes on the sleeves. Next to this … it was not scary.

A completely stupid thought when you are about to be executed. Probably, my obsessive brain clung to any nonsense distracting at a critical moment and therefore got hooked on the appearance of the driver tightly.

Green eyes… Or turquoise with blue – it’s hard to understand in the deceptive light of lanterns.

“Your execution is not scheduled,” they answered me evenly.

Deportation. I remember. Only through what – through hanging?

“If you are going to kill, do it painlessly,” I asked quietly, “put me to sleep first.

– Calm down.

It was an order. An order from someone next to whom it is useless to flutter, next to whom it is better not to raise your head, not to look straight, not to speak.

The car started; I clenched my shaking hands in my knees.

We were leaving the city. What for? Don’t know. Maybe in order to arrive at the place of deportation, or maybe this time capsule in the form of a silver car needed speed.

Capsule… It’s a joke, if the world outside the window didn’t tremble from time to time, if it didn’t become strangely unsteady, unreal. We were still driving down the road, but we already existed in some other time dimension, I felt.

The person next to me is calm as a rock, focused on the steering wheel, on the roadbed, or on something else; his hands are beautiful, I thought distantly, very masculine. Moderately sinewy, with bulging veins, the hands of a man with strength.

– Do I have the right to a last wish? I asked when the houses began to get lower and lower, when the rich area was replaced by sleeping quarters.

– Shall I give you a cigarette? – in voice zero mockery, rather, indifferent curiosity.

And he probably would have given it, but I thought that I would have time to smoke later. Someday, somewhere.

– No… Just… give me a ride. I like … to ride with you.

The neighbor looked at me and the thought crossed my mind that I would probably never learn to determine what he was really thinking.

– Ride you to your home world?

Sounded strange.

– Can you?

He just turned away, returned his attention to the road, but I managed to catch the answer that sounded in his aura – I can do a lot.

– Ride on…

I couldn’t believe that this could be true.

– I have to put you to sleep.

The red traffic light changed to yellow, then green; the drivers of neighboring cars were unaware that the nondescript silver sedan, the stripe on the side of which is not yet visible, is a Commission vehicle deporting a girl who has been fined “home”.

– Don’t. Please.

My last chance to admire this world. But much more I was absorbed by something else – my split mind, which, in addition to worrying about my own future, began to catch something else – the feeling that I was fine with this guy in a silver uniform. It doesn’t matter that now is not the time, that we are moving away from Nordale in some way that I don’t understand, although we are still on one of its roads. I also separated myself from myself by vanity and felt that, perhaps for the first time in many years, I was quietly happy. Very, very quiet, but still.

The commission agent looked at me thoughtfully for the first time – my executioner and my appeasement rolled into one.

Buckle up.

So we won’t sleep. I knew. I knew!

And she was right about one more thing – this machine was actually a time capsule. It was almost dark when she, leaving the city, accelerated to a monstrous speed. And no, no shaking in the car, no hysterical engine noise – calmness and silence, only the world on the sides of the road split in two and blurred completely. The highway was lost in an obscure haze, the sky merged with the horizon – it was no longer there at all, the sky. We did not rush through the distance, we did not absorb kilometers – I stared at what was happening, drowned in surprise and dumb delight – we rushed through the facets of an invisible crystal. Gently crossed the borders of the worlds – one, the other, the third … It became almost impossible to breathe: not from fear, from the astonished shock that froze in me. Somehow I knew that now, right now, real dark forests are rushing along the sides of us, in which orcs and elves live, in a second we are where there is nothing but volcanoes, a little further landscapes with harsh rocks and steep cliffs. Somewhere people like me live. Somewhere creatures that are completely different from people. There are many worlds, frontiers – transitional lanes – even more, and only my neighbor knew where and when to stop.

I looked at him… and hovered. Never with anyone have I felt the unity that I felt now with this man – complete. It doesn’t matter that he is wearing a silver uniform, that he is now playing my “guide”, it doesn’t matter at all what my name is. It must have been a side effect of reality shifting – I was no longer up to it. I was drowning in a feeling that I had never experienced – he is mine. I am ready to be with him to the end. The same one. And no, that was not an assumption, but pure knowledge that came straight from within me. I needed this Commissioner sitting behind the wheel, I needed it completely and for good, we are one with him. For such, I am ready to cross space and any difficulty, such will always find a way to bring our meeting closer …

And right in the middle of the shaky reality in a quiet salon, I said:

– You are my man. Do you know about it?

I didn’t suspect that this was possible, but probably everything was possible for him, because he stopped the car right in the middle of “nothing”, in the middle of a haze. If there was a road under the sedan’s wheels, I didn’t see it. And anything could come out of the fog swirling outside the windows.

The agent looked at me. He looked strangely, with a barely perceptible mockery and regret. Or maybe I thought so. He has beautiful, deep eyes, but even deeper he himself is a well. My well. And no, he could not let my words go past his ears, because they sounded not even one hundred percent confidence, but pure knowledge. That is when there can be no doubt.

This pause in the cabin, complete silence.

The alien background flattened, crushed from the inside – I didn’t give a damn about that. Now I have cut off everything superfluous, even if this superfluous influenced my physical shell.

– I’m not a man – the answer is without emotion.

– I don’t care.

Now I was reminding myself of the heroine of the film, who finally had a goal in her life, and, therefore, a mission. The compass needle was in an empty box, and this arrow pointed to the man on the left.

– You are stressed.

He was referring to the fact that the fog swirling around, and the fact that we just rolled through God knows what, affected my consciousness.

– This is not stress.

Well, no, my arrow is now not shifted from the right course and magnetic mountains. Wow, how many years I wandered through the Levels in search of my man, and found him at a critical moment in my life, while moving to another world.

– You know what I’m talking about. Inside. You feel it.

Even though we are still different, even though I have not yet got used to this too direct look into the very soul, even though I still want to form a house of cards in front of him – it’s still him. My. My. My.

The driver was silent – the most significant moment of my life, when the window is completely gray. When we ourselves are in “nothing”.

12 3 4 5 6 7 …11

Veronica Melan ,

The maps are different there, the reactor is built,

There, the old woman wrapped herself in comfort,

There, the sleeping heart woke up with delight.

People are different there; and there is a Map of Destinies,

And only Drake knows what was and will be,

A magic carpet weaves a miracle under your feet,

There you can and should go after dreams,

6 , the laws are vague,

And the Commission is in charge of them strangely,

I will come to the station, and the cashier, squinting.

“One to Nordale” I’ll tell you. And I will close my eyes…

Chapter 1

Bernard.

I didn’t notice this balcony on the second floor of the mansion until Claire “pictured” it. From somewhere, a longitudinal soft rug appeared on the floor, a couple of macrame panels on the walls, plants blooming in tubs near the wall, a table and two wicker chairs. And that’s it, the balcony has become my favorite place for breakfast.

Now I was enjoying my morning tea; outside the window the sun, greenery sprouted on the trees. Space outside, space inside. Nordale knew how to show not only the change of seasons, but also to pour sensations into you: if it’s winter, then fluffy, with a fireplace and falling snow, if it’s summer, then with tanned cheeks and shining eyes after swimming. And if spring, then an incomprehensible alluring freedom, as if not only sleeping plants woke up, but also a new reserve of strength in yourself, in that part of the soul that desires flight, new impressions, achievements, stormy joy.

For some time now I have had a fetish to bring newspapers from my home world and read them with tea with thin sweet wafers. The contrast came out amazing: in their native world they are fighting for power, building factories, rallies, releasing new medicines, introducing traffic rules, discussing football matches. And then there’s Nordale. And always calm. I’m sure, because behind my back there is always the silhouette of a loving, able to protect Drake from all the misfortunes. Drake, who at the snap of a finger will build a new level or demolish the old one. This knowledge has always tickled from the inside with solar pollen.

This time I was reading international news: about old people in Cuba, a simplified system for obtaining visas to Malta, and a submarine missing off the coast of Bali. It’s so interesting to learn about your native world from the parallel world, it’s like sitting in a movie theater, taking the best seat and wearing 3D glasses on your nose.

When Dane stepped onto the balcony, I was just rustling through the pages.

A big white-haired man stormed our house a couple of times a week in the morning: he came for cookies that Claire baked specially for him. These cookies in large bags (breathable! She specially bought breathable ones so that the pastries did not become stale) went to the headquarters, where they were eaten, as I believed, by Dane (mostly) and Steven (less). It might have gone to someone else, but I’d bet a couple of coins on the fact that Elconto didn’t want to share it with junior employees, because he got too attached to crumbly “bois” baked according to a secret recipe. The buas, which I first called “buas” and later “bugs”, were sprinkled with almond petals and abounded with chocolate chips. In general, the taste is extraordinary.

– Are you reading?

They glared at me, pushing through the carcass of the adjacent chair.

– Yeah.

– News of your world?

Colleagues knew about my hobby. The more interesting it was for them, the less scrawl they understood in the overseas text.

– Exactly.

Dane tried to sit like a master and stretch his legs, but the balcony was too short – he had to push his legs under the chair.

– Read to me the first thing that comes across.

– You won’t understand anything anyway…

– Well, just out of curiosity.

I smiled. It was always warm and safe near Elconto. And more fun.

– Okay … – I opened it at random. – “Today, the Indian Raja Govindan takes office…”

– Gawyondan? – Elconto already leaned from his chair to my newspaper. – Is that what it says? Gavnadan?

“Govindan,” I chuckled.

When a man is two meters tall, has a white hedgehog on his head and bulging eyes – it’s funny.

– Come on! No one in sober memory could call his son Govnodam. I don’t believe it!

– Well, this is India, another country … Maybe there it means “sun-faced” or, I don’t know, “bright-eyed.”

– Clear-eyed Gawyeongdan? Dane suddenly burst out laughing so loudly that the windows in the frames shook. – No, well, it had to be invented!

I did not explain again that it was not “Gavnadam”, but “Govindan”. God knows, indeed, what meaning this name had among the Hindus, but in Russian it sounded funny. And just give our sniper everything related to the “gomno”, and jokes will fall like a cornucopia.

Dane was silent for a while, thinking. He put his hand into the bag with the “insects”, began to put them one by one in his mouth. Before paying attention to the unnatural silence, I managed to finish reading the article and skim a couple of headlines below. And then she looked at Dane.

He always laughed as if he wore a disguise. A kind of brave, resilient guy, capable of going through any mess with his own laughter, but I wouldn’t be Dina if I hadn’t learned to determine the degree of seriousness under the mirror lake from jokes.

And now the sniper was scratched from the inside, I would even say, gnawed. Probably, thinking about his own, he would have finished half the package, would have sat with me for another ten minutes, and then got up and left. But I asked:

– Hey, what’s wrong?

Elconto started up. I realized that the mask had cracked, I wanted to cover it with a new one, hastily woven, but decided that I could be honest with me, sighed.

– Yes, something unpleasant happened here.

– With whom? Sled?

– No, thank the Creator, not with Anya.

And who should he grieve about then?

– Speak already…

And I stared at the two-meter friend, with whom we happened to go through both fire and water, intently, like an owl.

– You know that I lead the War…

Surprised. I know.

– So one of my acquaintances, a friend, got there.

– You mean hit? How is the rebel? – I thought. – Well, it will pass to the end or wake up if it grabs a bullet.

“Ani has passed.”

“That’s the point,” Dane sighed, “not like a rebel. But as a soldier.

The soldiers, I remembered, are those on the other side who are fighting against the rebels. Usually these are convicts exiled to death. And soldiers from the War no longer go back to the Levels, only to their world in case of death. Drake once explained this scheme to me, but I remembered it only formally, without details.

– You mean like a soldier? Was he convicted?

– Was. And exiled to the war for life.

Unpleasant. But I suddenly thought that it would be wrong to go to Drake with the words “help Dane’s friend” – something in this case did not stick and did not fit, as if intuition had previously declared that this step would be wrong. And so I was silent for a full minute.

Elconto sighed, he understood.

– I didn’t want you to go to Drake. In the end, I would go to him myself if I felt it was right. But something tells me the answer is going to be tough.

So something told me the same thing.

The topic is, of course, a touchy one. On the one hand, an acquaintance of Elconto and, therefore, not a stranger, on the other hand, not all friends of friends can be helped if the latter stumble. So as not to offend, I chose the next phrase as carefully as possible:

– Well … he will die, he will return to his world. Maybe good too? Maybe he finished things on the Levels? Drake had explained that those who had gained the necessary experience…

Dane continued to grimace.

– I wouldn’t worry if everything is as you say. But he is a good guy and also a better fighter. One of the best I know. He will fight there to the end. One, two, ten, twenty… Like Boyd.

Like Boyd, that’s bad.

With all my dislike for such topics, I still asked:

– Why was he convicted?

Elconto was silent for a long time before answering. He chewed one cookie, then three more at once, and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

– I have known Brown for more than a year. He could be one of us, could work for the Commission, that’s how good he is. It’s just that no one called him. Or he didn’t want to, I don’t know. He worked in a private agency as a bodyguard, the last couple of years guarding some businessman – I don’t know the name. And this businessman went badly wrong, they came for him from the Commission. But Brown did not understand that the Commissioners (they were in civilian clothes), tried to put one of them to bed, got it immediately “for life.” You know what laws we have if you raise your hand against Werther.

I knew. Harder than hard. Agents were not very fond of forgiving without that, and even if an attempt was made to attack…

– So this Brown tried, without knowing it, to kill the Agent?

– Uh-huh.

Then it is clear why the War.

– Well, maybe tomorrow he will die at your Level…

– He won’t die, I already told you. Will fight there to the end. People like him don’t give up. And war, especially ours – senseless and endless – burns out. And in ten years nothing will remain even of the best person. That’s why I’m dark. Since you asked.

Read Ticket: Earth to Nordale online – Melan Veronica – RuLit

I was pierced by a discharge, and not at all weak. Cracking through every cell of the body is unpleasant, immediately nauseated, muddied, but I pushed the unnecessary side effects away. I felt another connection between us. The one that, just like me, does not care about “small” differences – structures, shapes and formulas. I was convinced of the main thing: I want to be with him anywhere, to the end. Yes, probably, I will always want to fall on my knees in front of him: a representative of an alien race pressed with his background and attitude so that his face immediately fell to the floor, but … And this very BUT destroyed all barriers.

He removed his hand before my consciousness began to fade. I looked for a long time, and for the first time I caught something new in my eyes. Shadow of wonder. An attempt to apply some absurd theory to the world from beliefs that have long coexisted with each other. Dissent. Albeit still extremely weak, but already a grain of sand crammed into the gears. And if he, accustomed to the absence of emotions, can grind it, then I will never.

– You are taking your woman to another world. I laughed inappropriately; the fog behind the windows, responding, swayed.

– Crazy. Human. Girl.

Sounded flat. Cynically. Cold. And just a little warm.

Hands on the steering wheel, eyes on the road; the car started again.

I didn’t care that he didn’t believe. I was happy because I believed in us.

We must have been driving all night, I thought. It is impossible to determine the time when there is neither sky nor sun. The shock of the touch (sorry, I’m still weak, but this will change) had a detrimental effect on the tired mind – I fell asleep.

I woke up when the sedan was already standing in the foggy forest of my home planet. I don’t know how I knew, felt – this is the Earth. Another smell, another air, another atmosphere, after the Levels of difference there is.

And startled. Little time, very little time to say the main thing…

“Don’t erase my memory,” she asked immediately. Probably, he has an order, because it would be right, this is how it should be done.

“Get out of the car,” it sounded flat.

But you can’t go out, because he will just leave, I won’t have time …

– I will return, – I looked at the man, in whom I managed to see my own reflection, burning, sharp, – I will find my way back.

– You will be judged for this.

I don’t care.

“You are worth it. You’re worth everything!”

He looked back hard, a little tired. As if he thought a lot about something, as if he never found a way that the virus could break the system.

– Get out of the car.

I couldn’t help but obey. But she broke away with pieces of her soul from the one to whom she had become attached, baked. She was ready to growl in helplessness. And she was terribly relieved when he came out too. Came closer, closer.

“Erase the memory!” I leaned back against a tree trunk. The Commissioner standing a few millimeters from you is torture in itself, too much pressure on the psyche, body, emotions.

“I will remember you,” she said confidently, “even if you do this.

But he was just watching. I could not remove the strange new serifs in my head from the previously perfectly smooth orbits of the usual train of thought.

And my confidence in “us” didn’t go anywhere, it got stronger when I finally sank into the pupils reflecting the foggy forest.

I was exhausted from despair, anticipating parting. And I desperately needed to know one thing:

– Will you have coffee with me when I get back?

He heard with his soul, I was sure of it. Not by what made him a Commissioner, not by the usual looks of an “alien”, not by the shell in which he was wrapped.

This is probably how Galileo Galilei hoped to be right in his theories, like a man who suddenly leaned close to my face wanted to know if the impossible was possible.
