I knew everything about everyone, such a job, or something… I don’t know how

He sat down on a chair near the window and

stared thoughtfully into the distance. Then he got up abruptly and went into the room. —

To be honest, I am very concerned about what is happening. I

’ve lost my sword, and I can’t feel my brothers. It looks like

something serious has happened.

Moving to the spot on the parquet floor left by the wreckage

of the black arrow, he added —

«And this is… It’s not from Earth. And not from heaven. He looked

at Reana excitedly. —

It seems that everything that is happening now is somehow connected. Will you

help us?»

«Yes, of course… I’ll help you in any way I can. But what can I

even do? I’m a small person, I

have nothing. «Reana sat down in a chair and hugged a pillow. – I don’t know how I

cured you. I couldn’t do it before.

And she held out her hand and showed me the half – healed

cut. «I was the one who swung the knife badly the day before yesterday… and it didn

’t heal at all! There was a lot of blood…

«Reana,» Damiel began to explain. – You are a creative

person, your inspiration and talent have always replenished

my strength, expanded my opportunities, this is a special energy,

in your world you do not see it, but we, energy,

if you can say so, entities, perceive it

differently. I’m stronger around you. I was hoping you could help

I need to get better, and that’s what happened. But there were no such

precedents before. I also don’t know how it all

works now.

«I see…» said Reana, although it wasn’t entirely

clear, what was happening just didn’t fit in her

head. – As always, everything is complicated. Does this

energy also strengthen Keijigen?

– Perhaps… you were able to heal him, too, as I

understand?

– Yes… but he wasn’t as seriously injured as you… Oh,

Is it okay that I call you «you»?

38

– Nothing! This is definitely better. I

don’t even feel comfortable – " Damiel smiled.

Reana thought again that these strange

adventures that had found her so unexpectedly were probably

dangerous and could cause a lot of trouble. But in the soul

of settled some joy because it is boring and not enough

someone’s life has changed, that someone needs her

help, and this time she is really able

to do something, perhaps important and necessary. It was as if she had been asleep

all her life, and this night she woke up full of energy

and the desire to do something absolutely out of the ordinary

,exceptional.

– I want to understand how I can be useful,

and I probably need to train myself somehow, «she said to Dami-

el.

«I just need you to be around.»

– I’m close enough as it is.

Damiel stood up, put his right hand on the bottom of the sofa

,and lifted it as easily as if it were made of styrofoam.

«But people can’t, can they?» – he asked.

Reana rolled her eyes and shook her head.

At least I’ve never seen anything like this before!

– Go out to the garden, let’s see if something changes.

The girl ran into the garden, right up to the gate.

Damiel came out a moment later.

«Nothing’s changed,» he said, and

looked down thoughtfully. – I do not know what to say and how it should

be…

– What if it is?» Reana touched a finger to his

arm, and then a light flickered around him.

«Oh, it seems to be working! Reana said happily, and lowered

her finger.

The glow was gone.

39

– Well? – What is it? «she asked happily. – Something to the feeling-

eat?

Damiel looked perplexed.

«No,» he said, sighing sadly. – I don’t know, I don

’t feel anything.

Reana poked him in the shoulder again

,and he glowed again. She removed her finger and the glow disappeared.
