🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

Before the mission, with full understanding, writing supplies are replenished, some more, some less, without any shame, and after a very close acquaintance with new people: [spoiler=] 1. I rested in a sanatorium, and they assigned me a strange task. One new face, a pretty one, who speaks well; several old ones, one unpleasant. We walked around the territory, it was gray and gloomy, and it turned out to be even more insidious. But I already suspected this; life has taught me. I almost failed, my hand slipped, and I got hurt again; next time, I'll be more careful. I thought – everything has become too oppressive lately; maybe I should just take a normal vacation, without all this. I'll go see the wonders of the world; how many are there (x8)? Tickets will cost a fortune; I don't even know all the details yet (x6). I found out where I could stay in Enlil and Sizka if things really fall apart on the front. It's unlikely to be needed, but you never know. Later, I met a very familiar face – that same jerk from the gang who was harassing the farmers. But that situation won't repeat itself. I suddenly thought – did the books survive, our legacy? There has been so much chaos lately, but no, the library and the librarian are both fine. I didn't like how he acted, as if he didn't care, or maybe he's in cahoots with the enemy? Although he's a foreigner; he doesn't understand the local atmosphere, who knows what kind of mentality they have. I didn't press the issue. I spent the rest of the day traveling and spending money. ... 2? 10? 50? I stopped at a new place, many faces are familiar. A lot has happened, things I wouldn't be proud of if I were a staunch pacifist. But life is such that you have to make do with what you have. And we have one familiar guy, who used to be in his place, and other concerned people; I see them, I know them. I visited a famous artist in his workshop; he did everything to the highest standard. I stopped by a couple of places, everything is as it should be, only the workshop isn't working without its boss, just like the forge. The rats ran away. Nothing, nothing, we'll all die soon, and the world will finally be at peace. [/spoiler] [spoiler=] - Marcell. A piece of Margel.
