🔥 Иказкан -> Тезот

Upon returning to Dorian's red tent, he finds a somewhat different scene than he likely expected.

- A-a! - Sukaya hovered above the ground, her hands on her hips and her cheeks puffed out, but not too high – just enough to be half a head taller than the guest. - I said that each traveler gets one item, but others came from you. - She twirls colorful pills with her fingers. - I didn't realize it right away, but it turns out you bypassed that condition!
- Ha-ha-ha, at this rate, a millennium will pass, and you might learn a hundredth of the human soul.
- I don't understand, Erebus.
- Humans are not meant to understand themselves either, because the potential of our diverse thinking is limitless. I could make your head explode like an overripe watermelon. I could do anything to share a bed with you, despite your condition. I could fall to my knees and kiss your boots. I could, inspired by your beauty, paint a picture, sculpt a statue, or compose a song. I could gut you and roast you over a fire. To satisfy my hunger. To satisfy my curiosity. To satisfy any other feeling. Our minds are unpredictable, and that is what makes them so interesting.
- I... do... not... un... der... stand. - The blows of fists on the shoulder are like a breeze to a human.
- All in good time, Sukaya. There is also an interesting legend surrounding my origin, and it so happened that this is my only memory of the surface. People said that my mother became pregnant from a talking family sword, can you imagine?
- What did she do? From Hekizo?
- I have no proof, but I am absolutely sure that it was another sword, a-ha-ha! You see, members of our dynasty have a specific appearance, which I did not inherit. I suppose that's where the rumors started – because for some people, it's easier to accept that explanation than the alternative.
The human man raises his hand and strokes the puzzled Ivilai on the head, then his gaze turns to the side, from where Dorian came.
- Go... Be ready for a rematch, it's coming soon.
After chatting with the Ivilai for a while, Erebus was about to leave.

- Anyone in mind? Of the people I know, there's Rurek. But he's already "done his part." Besides, where is he now? He promised to help and "bailed"... And there's also something about them "badmouthing" us humans...
- There's also Barley and Cabbage. You remember, right? They didn't want to help...
- So, yes, there isn't..., - he sighs too.

They're going to D3.

- Okay, we'll sort things out in the city.
They arrive in D3.
- See the pond? Glowshrooms grow around it.
