take Feodore to the kitchen.
– Yes, Livie.
– Do you just call the above by name? – Chris Feo asked
– Yes.
The kitchen was also beautiful, as was the hall. Table made of smooth stone, wooden chairs. Crystal mugs, silver spoons and a kettle, a fire in the fireplace – everything was like a dream.
– Chris, am I sleeping? – Feo asked.
– Why do you think so?
– Well, you know, you treat everything as easily as ordinary things.
– Well, yes, we have this good in bulk!
– That’s right!
Chris put three mugs on the table and poured tea. Feo looked for a long time, then asked:
– What it is?
– A tea. Have you never seen a tea? What do you drink there?
– No, we drink tea. But this is something else.
Chris sat down at the table next to him.
– Have you never drunk tea with rose petals?
– No…
– Foo, how boring you are!
At that moment, Livie came with a woman.
– Chris, put another mug.
He complied with the request and poured tea. Feo watched intently as an elderly, silver-haired woman with large brown eyes sat opposite. She also looked at him for a long time, and then said:
– Did you bring the loybie here again? How many people can be brought here!
– Well, Mom…
– It’s time to grow up! Then you disappear somewhere, then you lead strangers!
– Wait a minute! Let me introduce you! This is Feodore Bill, the lobe who defeated Merak himself. Theodore, this is my mother, Jane.
– For you, young loybie, Mrs. Jane.
– Nice to meet you, – Feo bowed.
While he drank his tea, Mrs. Jane kept saying what a silly daughter she had. “I’m out of luck!” Feo Bill thought.
The boy wanted to go, but Livie stopped him.
– You promised to tell about Merak!
– Fine.
Livie led him out of the castle and asked Chris to gather all the fairies. Feodore had to tell the whole story from the appearance of Merak in the Green Lands and his sweet speeches to victory and his departure from his native lands.
And it was so.
Long ago, in the lands of Feodore, Bernard and his friends, there was a “messenger of God.” He wore a human mask, was always in a mantle, and in his hands tightly clutched a book. His name was Aurelius Merak. Aurelius decided to establish control over the whole region, but he was hindered by the kings who ruled the Green Lands. Someone sided with him.
Aurelius took everything from those who did not obey his laws – did not give him women who did not share the harvest, did not pay taxes. He killed whole lands, and then completely opened his book, and wars began. Feo, several kings, his grandfather Bernie and his friends led a resistance detachment.
The team was able to go through seven wars, and expel Merak, destroying what they believed was his book. Merak dissolved and disappeared. And peace returned to the Green Earth.
Of course, this is only a brief recital of what happened in that battle.
At the end, some fairies sobbed, the soldiers looked at the loybie with admiration, someone just smiled.
– I understand you now, – Livie said, saying goodbye to Feo. – See you later.
It was late, and Elven had been waiting for him on the shore for a long time. Feodore told her about Tember.
– Be careful with fairies, – she said softly.
Gone are the days. Sebastian introduced Feo to his children, and Penn and Merron to their wives. Arina and Rina are red-haired curly women. Arina’s eyes were green (Pena’s wife) and Rina’s (Merron’s wife) had brown eyes. Five children moved with Sebastian to Eltorro in the Forest of the Ring (Eleanor, the eldest, had already served in Arwen, the elven princess, in the Green Lands). They were all brown and with curly hair (their people in general, almost all curly). Only Frodo and Rozochka were darker than the others. Frodo was very proud to be named after the famous Frodo Baggins, although he did not look very much like him. Merron and Rina had three children: Aurora, Mickey and Ness. Aurora is taller than the others and the eldest daughter in the family, with red long hair and light brown eyes. Mickey and Ness had blue eyes and short hair. With Pina’s son, Leo, Feo was already acquainted.
One day four friends were sitting with Feo talking, when suddenly he looked out the window and saw an eltorro girl, a golden-haired woman passing by, carrying buckets of water on a rocker. His heart beat faster than ever. And friends noticed his amorous look out the window.
– Who is that? – Feo asked.
– It’s Camellia, – Penn smiled.
Penn and Sebby looked at each other.
– And what is it that draws you to the golden hair? – he asked Feo Merron.
– I don’t understand…
– Well, see for yourself: Elven – Golden-haired, yesterday she saw you with a fairy with golden hair, and now you laid eyes on almost the first beauty, and Camellia, too.
Feo smiled.
– It really turns out strange.
– Mr. Feodore, do you know that she is your neighbor across the house?
– So?
– So. Only I already have to go home, or my Rose be angry. I mean my wife.
– Well, it is clear that not daughter! – Penn laughed. – Go, I’ll introduce Feo to Camellia.
Feo and Penn caught up with Camelia when she was home. She was helping an elderly woman plant something. Apparently it was her mother.
– Camellia! – Pin shouted at her.
– Yes!
Camelia got up, shook herself, and walked over to them, and Feo saw her large emerald eyes of a purebred eltorro-girl. And, in general, she had an oval face, arched eyebrows and plump lips. Camellia was a slender girl, a little shorter than Feo, with a playful voice and the same character as it turns out.
– Congratulations! Brought to meet me again?
– Are you against it?
– No.
– This is my friend, Feodore Bill, you can call him Feo.
– Are you Feodore? But you have all your fingers in place… What, were the empty fables that your finger was cut off when you had a battle on the Rock of the Red Sword with Merrak?
– No, it grew back! My friend – the mag helped me.
She wiped her hand on her long skirt and held it out to Feo.
– Let’s get acquainted, I’m Camellia Jenins. For you, it’s just Camellia.
They shook hands.
– You know, you’re the first person Penn, a blue-eyed brunette and slender, introduced me to. Local green-eyed. This is you, visitors, with a different eye color. Dryads and I have lived here before. I’ve heard your friends brag that almost all of Eltorro has been rebuilt.
– And you are not the first golden-haired, but the only
