I fell backwards into the water. For a moment, he was knocked out of breath and caught his breath. Only a few seconds later I realized that the water was terribly cold. My mortal carcass was spinning in different directions, hitting the stones, and the noisy stream effortlessly dragged me along. There was desperately not enough air and panic was already close. When once again I managed to emerge, something painfully dug into my shoulder. I screamed, but immediately swallowed water and my insides exploded with pain from the cold.

Rush, more jerk. Some force was pulling me against the current, causing terrible pain in my shoulder. I tried to relax. Since someone decided to save me, it’s better not to interfere with him. Because on my own, without magic, I can’t get out.
A minute later, I felt the stones on my back and tried to roll over. She crawled away from the water on her knees. The big wolf collapsed beside him, exhausted.
-Holy! I wrapped my arms around him and leaned against his forehead. -Thanks.
«They’re coming.» Svyato coughed. «Dry your clothes while you can.»
— We need to run! Hurry! — I was alarmed, jumped to my feet. -Let’s go! Faster!!
I drew a teleport frame, but it was clear to the uninitiated that it came out crooked and weak. Damn!! Too close.
— You can’t! — The wolf bit my hand, attracting attention. “They need your help. They’ve come for help, witch.
-For help?! I glared at him, clenching my fists in indignation. — For help?! Yes, they almost killed me!! It seems to me that they are asking for help somehow differently !!
“Roxanne!” The big wolf covered his eyes with his huge furry paw and grunted something. “I saw something in their minds. If you don’t try to help, there will be no magic left in this world at all. Our world will cease to exist! Understand?!
I looked at him and couldn’t believe my ears. Eyes burned with tears. I closed my eyes and shook my head.
-Not! No and no!! Holy no!! Something bad happens every time!! What if I lose you or the cat?! What if I lose you forever ?! If Klaus takes you into the darkness?! What will happen then?!
-Then? He shook his head and bared his teeth in a crooked grin. “If this world stands, then the price is not great, Roxana.
-This world?! But why would I need it? Why should I save him if you won’t be in him?! My world is you and the cat. And every time I get into something like that, one of you gets hurt. I don’t intend to anymore. No. Let this world go to hell, but at least we will go there together!!
I burst into tears. From resentment. Out of indignation. From injustice. And from what I know for sure, I will not stay away. But a dark premonition had already crept into my heart. The wolf approached and I hugged him by the mighty neck. Buried her face in the fur.
— Dry your clothes, Roxana. We have little time.
I wiped away my tears with the back of my hand. Gathered strength. It’s not the time to get sloppy. First, I’ll find out what the problem is. Maybe it will cost a little blood.
But it took a lot of blood. And mine. And in the very near future.
