A journey into the unknown. In the city/Путешествие в неизвестность. В городе

Continuation. The beginning read: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

The rest of the way we came without incident and the next morning went to a high wall surrounding the city. Iya, quickly found the gate with the window and pressed the call button. The window opened, she said to the man, looked out at him, the door opened and we entered the city.

Before we opened a beautiful view of the city. Simply, in the futuristic building around them, broken beds, on which grow flowering riotous color unusual flowers, above which fluttered no less amazing, beautiful creatures of unparalleled beauty. The air was kapanen fragrant smell.

I stopped involuntarily, struck to the depths of this beauty.

Near one of the largest buildings stood a statue of a courageous man with eagle eyes, thrown over the shoulders of the coat, and with something like a sword on the side.

I asked the girl who was captured in this monument. But Iya could not really answer my question, only said that it was her distant relative, famous in ancient times for his actions.

We went on. People on the streets were not so many, but those that met us on the way, with curiosity considered me.

I wonder what I could attract the attention of citizens? Really, despite local outfit, generously presented to me, Ya, did not hide the fact that I was for them incomprehensible to an outsider. Pleased only that no one was frightened of me. I still remember the first fear, which is experienced at the sight of me, Iya.

But I soon ceased to pay attention to the inhabitants of the city enjoying the beauty of new to me, architecture and landscape, this lovely in all respects of the city.

I did not notice any form of transport, and my question is how to move residents, Iya explained that the center is only allowed Hiking, and the centre is reachable by metro or taxi, but all the stops are outside the ring, wrap around the center.

In other parts of the city you may move to other modes of transport. Flying aircraft over the city is prohibited at all.

After we crossed the Central square of the city and passed a happy high-rise buildings, we were in a more tranquil area, dominated by mostly two - and three-storey mansions.

Here lived mainly people who occupied certain positions in the city government. One of them lived and uncle Iyi Itwill.

The house where the family lived Iyi, was even further in the neighborhoods where they lived less eminent citizens of the city.

However, homes here also looked good and at the same time seemed to be slightly floating above the surface. Everywhere there was a lot of greenery, flowers and trees. On the lawns of frolicking children that watched adults. There was peace and grace.

Everything is so contrasted with what is left outside of the city, had a wholesome effect on the nerves, I gradually calmed down. I had hoped that my journey from this point will only be enjoyable.

Finally we reached the end of the road, stopping at a neat house with a front garden. Meet Iye popped up a creature resembling the form of the earth dog and whining lightly began to RUB against her legs. She patted him on the head and missed me forward.

On the porch, meanwhile, left two people in appearance slightly older girls. However, it was her parents. They smile welcomed me and daughter hugged and kissed. This scene was so similar to earth that I barely held back tears.

Then we went into the house, the girl's mother bustled, setting the table until we had cleaned up after a long journey.

We ate a hasty lunch and went to their rooms. Especially for me highlighted one of the guest, which was all to relax, read and even watch TV.

Towards evening, Iya, when we are a little rested, asked me to walk on evening city and to look to her uncle, whom she was supposed to deliver the letter, and I could see his famous menagerie, which she told me earlier.

Evening the city was quite beautiful, illuminated with colored lights. On the streets and in the squares was a lot of walking.

We leisurely walking, quickly came to the house uncle. There we were equally warmly welcomed, fed delicious dinner, after which, Iya quickly finished the business part of the meeting and asked uncle to show me his menagerie.

He agreed, adding however, that the time for inspection is not chosen very well - many animals are already asleep, so he can only show him the night life.

But in order to see the rest, will have to come at another time, preferably in the output.

Indeed, almost all animals are peacefully sleeping in their cages. Some of them only slightly opened eyelids and again went to sleep.

Only at the very end of the zoo was waking several animals met strangers very unfriendly, but as soon as the owner talked with them, they calmed down, but kept still away from us.

The lighting was rather dim, so to see animals I do not really managed.

One such animal was a creature, like a cross between the earth of the mole and Armadillo only unnatural pinkish color.

Also, quite interesting struck me as being submitted by the owner of the zoo as sherstokryl. He can not fly, only plans in the air, moving thus from tree to tree. On the same tree, finds food, eats young leaves, shoots, flowers or fruit.

Very good was a little mole Zvezdara with such an interesting organ of touch.

Tour of the zoo was brief, as, indeed, our very stay in this house. We said goodbye with the owner, agreeing to meet on the first day off I had to wait not too long, just a couple of days.
