Earelen-16 the final chapter with the epilog.

On arrival to the palace, I first of all went to mother. She lay in a beautiful bed similar to a huge shell. Here at many such beds. But mother's it was made in a special way - in it there were many gemstones which alternated with nacre and pearls. Also there was a cunning spring - pressed and the bed departures in a niche. But now mother lay.
At the sight of me she joyfully smiled.

- "How are you, expensive?"
I swam up to it and showed caskets.
"Oh, you found them? Or you found?"
- "At it was, the father gave, and I found on ruins of our house" - did not begin to specify that there children ran and were thrown by our things.
- "And how? You..." - she quickly looked at a hand. I stretched it that mother could admire a ringlet.
- "As I am happy! Earelen, my girl, give I you I will embrace!"
I clung to it. What she is thin...
The come father and found us embracing. Having seen him, mother joyfully exclaimed:
- "Formaite, our Earelen became engaged to Neryoram! You told me about him much".
The father very much was delighted. Too huged me and told, having discharged a little and having glanced in eyes:
- "I congratulate! I hope, you with it will be happy".
- "The father, mother, I just wanted to talk about it. I very much love him, but I do not know whether he will want to live here. And, if we are betrothed, probably, it is necessary to celebrate a wedding... How will all this occur? Where? Here, there?"
- "Do not worry, the daughter, everything will be very much and very beautifully!" - the father cheerfully told and, having given smacking kiss to me in a cheek, departured. Probably, to prepare for a wedding.
I said goodbye to mother and went to our Sovereign-grandfather.

If the people think what it only also does that sits on a throne, then it is a big mistake. The grandfather froliced with grandsons! He has their heap actually! There is a lot of children. By the way, they are my sisters and brothers! And I their sense know nobody. Swam up and stood aside, admiring as they pulled it a beard, hid in it from each other, generally, darted about as small fishes. Well was where, the grandfather very big!


Having seen me, he tried to shake youth from himself, but it worked well not at once.

I had to help it, tearing off the got naughty rusalchik and to let in further swimming. Here fun was at them!
At last we got rid of them and floated to retire to talk over.
I told about an engagement, about Oro, and everything that I knew about him. Showed a ringlet. The grandfather lowered the ruchishcha to me on the head and stroked me. I blinked. So pleasantly... Long ago it was. In that life, on the earth, on the solar coast...

- "I wanted to talk concerning a wedding. Probably, it is necessary to make somehow so that all could celebrate," - I look at the Sovereign, having inclined the head under weight of his hand.
- "Of course, dear princess Earelen, and as! Everything will be kingly!" He clapped and came pieces 10, probably, of multi-colored small fishes and attacked on me.
What, again??? But it was necessary to reconcile. They scurried about around me to and fro, I did not even remember everything that they with me did. Then fell asleep at all. Because well very long they did of me the bride beauty. And at this time, as I was told then by Lu, all my numerous relatives (did not trust others such important issue!) sewed to me a dress. One more! new and is even finer than the first! I was lost in admiration when saw it. I was dressed up in it, put on a crown of the bride and brought to a mirror. I gasped when I saw myself! Hair did not stick out in different directions a huge oduvan any more, and were laid in an inconceivable hairstyle. Hair were not with small ringlets, as usual, and are twirled upward and from above several curls went down. Improbable beauty the dress fitted tightly my figure about which I and concepts, in principle, had no. I and such had no mirror. The proud, beautiful girl, with the head raised majestically, in a crown looked at me. I looked some time at myself, trying to realize and digest what was seen.
Then deeply sighed and looked back to all who stood behind. Of course, on my shining eyes all of them understood at once and joyfully clapped the hands, embraced me, kissed.

All this is good, but is farther that? The bride is ready and where the groom?
I still was in the full dark of further. Well got used to do everything, and here completely from everything removed. It was necessary to be content with admiration of younger little sisters. We stirred, sitting in the huge hall and that occurred out of the palace, I did not know, but tried to keep printsessky calm and smiled quite cheerfully. At least, so it seemed to me.

Then I learned everything. As trained Oro that was done by gnomes. Oh, these cunning, the kindest person! I just adore them! They, preparing for a wedding, our with Oro, quickly organized the huge room before that cave where I spent the first underwater day. Men dug up boulders on which it is possible to sit absolutely quietly in mountains. It for the murmaid tribe that it was where to sit, without getting out especially of water. Mermaids caught the shining small fishes and put them in crystal vessels with water. Women led by Trika suspended them on all perimeter of a cave though in caves of gnomes and so always light.
And men so tried, swinging the pickaxes that on all mountains there was a rumble improbable! Several stones, having broken from top, fell down absolutely close from extreme home, having fallen just to our house, having built a certain pyramid. Poor residents of the village were so frightened that, having abandoned everything, they in a hurry ran away into the most distant part of the coast.
Our peshcherokopatel nevertheless not for nothing dug - they found the adit labyrinth. Having quickly run on it, they came across on... the relatives, on one of the lost families. It is so much joyful events!
The magician together with Gore did something unknown to all, some surprise. Malyshnya continually tried to break to peep, but they did not manage it.
Of course, I learned all this later. For now... Oh, here the father floats! And mother is near... It holds her by a hand.
Having swum up to us, he gave me a hand:
-" My dear Earelen! Daughter! Everything is ready to your wedding. I invite you!"
Whether it is necessary to say how I was delighted! Well at last! I was tired to wait. Who married, probably, I will be understood. I gave a hand and we floated. Mother on the one hand, I with another. We together! But how for a long time? Perhaps last time? And, maybe, so at we will live side by side. I did not know yet what expects me ahead.

And ahead - Oro! Beloved Oro! The best man in the world! The most beautiful and strong! The kindest and attentive!
We came up about a cave and I rose in it, slightly shaking off a dress. Fabric such that water instantly all ran up in different directions. Only hair still shone water droplets, competing to pearls that was are pinned in a hairstyle.

Body stockings even thought of flowers - everywhere there were beautiful mountain bouquets. Behind them kids when they saw that all left the village climbed. The cave was such beautiful! If to remember what it was for the first time, then I would tell that it magically changed! The old doctor took part in a holiday too - it did different drinks.
Food there was a sea! And from the sea, and from above - nuts, apples, even vegetables from kitchen gardens. Probably, from rural. But I did not begin to specify.

Here all who were invited from the sea - the Sovereign emerged, all relatives, and all of them had enough place. All were incredibly beautiful, in the sparkling scales, in hair of mermaids there are a lot of precious vpleteniye. Gnomes tried to put on more brightly too - not only green coloring, but also yellow, both red, and white flashed.
But still there was no Oro. Where did they put him? And, maybe, he was hidden in general and now will palm off on me absolutely another? I pined in uncertainty, trying not to give a sign. And when twisted pipes from long shells played, I shuddered from surprise. Very much they are loud! Here entered Oro! I laughed for joy. Probably, it silly looked from outside, but I could not keep. It left, squinting on light (where it was held?). He was led by the hand by the elder of gnomes, Grak. It was very important as entrusted it such mission! Oro got used to light and quickly found a look me. On his opened mouth and expanded eyes, I guessed that efforts of my relatives were not gone a gift groom was struck! But also with it worked wonderfully well! Of course, it had no loop, as well as crowns, but dressed up him in down and ashes - long trousers and a shirt were snow-white, tufts are brushed, on a neck - some intricate pendant. All right, then I will look. The father took me by an arm and under incredibly loud sounds of pipes we were brought to each other. And there came the silence. It seemed to me even that from this silence rang out in ears.
We did not manage to enjoy contemplation of each other as we were already developed towards water where there was all my family. The sovereign delivered a solemn speech:
- Our dear girl, our Earelen, marries the brave young man, Neryoram today. He from a high kind of people of Eagles - Apansorne and with our permission we release our princess with it to this its World!

Here so everything is simple... Why to me in spite of the fact that itself wanted to ask about it, it became offensive? Or this another? So far I thought how to ask how to explain everything, everything was solved and presented as a gift... Probably, so.
The grandfather Gosudar swam up, sitting on a killer whale, and a plot to us on ring fingers, fastened on necks wedding stars from pure gold with a red stone and around it many diamonds on a chain. To me the father clasped it behind on a lock. I raised the eyes full of tears and saw how it brushed away a tear too. About mother and there is nothing to speak... I called her about myself:
- "Mummy, do not cry! First, I will abandon you not today! Secondly, I will surely visit you!" She nodded to me on each word, smiling weepingly, pressing thin hands to a breast.

After this ceremony us turned the person a klitsa again and pushed to each other. Oh, Gods, well why nobody told me that he what follows? Ours in the village had everything not so, certainly! They sang much, drove young people around a fire, throwing them with any miscellanea - food products, kerchiefs, dresses and children's things. And then they kissed and went to the house prepared for them. And here it is impossible to kiss public thanks, Lu managed to give it to me at the last moment! It is necessary just to embrace also everything that we also made. I made it the first, having warned Oro's rush. There would be an embarrassment!

And everything, fun began! The old doctor Evine distributed drinks which he did. They were all multi-colored and everyone who drank became the same color as drink in a glass. Children gnomes plaid pranks - took several glasses with different drinks and drank from everyone two-three drinks and became striped. Here to laughter at them was! We sat down with Oro on the flat boulders prepared for us laid by rugs and we were given glasses from a thin stone, in gold and gemstones. Probably, their gnomes did by request of Oro because they were with wings. I cautiously drank and quickly looked at the hands - in what color they will become! But nothing occurred. Slava to gods, on us such drinks were not palmed off. I think that Lu would not allow it. To me it became ridiculous. I already married, and still I think of the to the nurse Lu. I was sorry that we so late met it. And now it is even worse than that - we leave for unknown time... Lu did not leave me and now. As soon as we drank, he ordered to pour out the remains to us on the heads - I am Oro, it to me. What we also did. As I was afraid to drink, I drank slightly more than a half. And Oro drank everything. Perhaps he knew, what will be farther? Generally, to him got. Slava Engea, he did not take offense. And here, as soon as we povylivat everything at each other, from above on us flowers alternately with asterisks, poured spiralkam fell down! However, poured not only on us, got to all. Of course, to an unexpected rain children especially rejoiced! Gnomes brought to us a huge dish with sweets and we distributed them to all who approached. Then walked along the coast and presented with them all mermaids and their satellites.
The father approached and told that mother was very tired and he would like to departure with her back. I nodded, having thrown a restless eye on mother. She wearily smiled, but summoned up courage and waved to us with Oro a hand. Having approached it, embraced her, kissed and wished to have a rest well. She promised to come again tomorrow. Having said goodbye to them, we went to guests again. While went, I several times looked back to them though I already and did not see. I hope, tomorrow we will meet again.

Fun proceeded. At last surprise time from the magician Horst and Gore came. They pulled out some tubes and began to set fire to them since other end. They chose the smallest from all tubes. And here began! Women! Bach! Trrrakh! Roar, sparkling! All at first got a fright outright, but then in admiration looked at the sparkling letters arising time behind time - one by one they developed in words - Earelen... Neryoram... It was very beautiful! Then just flowers blossomed also stars, of course...
And here time when guests began to say goodbye came. The first took away children and from that party, and with another. The sovereign departured the latest, having once again embraced us at parting. Grak showed us our mansion and, having bowed, left.

Here we also remained some... The room was small and everything was lovely arranged here - walls in flowers, a floor in carpets and the large bed occupying the most part of the room. I sat down on edge of a bed and now only felt how I was tired. Legs hooted, the head too... Oro sat down nearby, and began to let mine hair down. A lock behind a lock they fell to me on a back and I felt great relief. After all it is unusual to go with such hairstyle. At last Oro released all locks and I with relief sighed.
- Thanks! how did you guess?
- I love you, my princess. Now and the truth - mine! - he embraced me and kissed. And he suddenly dexterously pulled out from where svyortochek and stretched to me.
- Do not you want to measure?
I developed a parcel and it appeared my dress! How did it at it appear? Not that, of course, which ruthless Lu destroyed, having broken off on small klochochka, and another, it remained in the house. Whether I wanted to take off this dress, let and beautiful, but very heavy? Of course! Dear Oro helped me also here - without his help I would not remove him. While removed, puffed, I to him admitted about what I was lost in day-dreams now - to rise in the favourite grotto. Oro agreed with pleasure also we as soon as I changed clothes, muffled in a cover and in a minute appeared in a grotto. Through an opening of a grotto bright stars and a silver path from Isil still sparkled called somewhere afar, in novel... We sat, having nestled to each other, wrapped up in a cover and as last time (how long it was!), kissed... This time I too...

For the morning we returned to that room indifferently. Left as soon as to us were knocked. Gods! All were going to feast again! How many it is possible! But, glory of Engea, nobody demanded that I urgently did hair or put on a wedding dress.
I put on in that dress that I had prior to a wedding, the first murmaid. It though is lighter. And again fun, a laughter, bustle, splashes, the sparkling sparks! This time, having found out that inhabitants did not return, transferred tubes upward and went off with a bang there. And any more not the smallest. The roar stood terrible! But to what it was beautiful! Fun dolphins who learned dance added and at the same time jumped out of water in different directions above, below, just on water floated with an improbable speed both directly, and around. And here at the next flash of sparks I saw how on the coast Meunya strides, and behind it - five kittens! Gods, this joy! And when was in time? I already mourned the kisunyu, and it - here it, in all beauty! What gift to me on a wedding! I rushed to it, picked up on hands and kissed it directly on a moustached muzzle! And she caressed, purred, rubbed about me with a joyful urrrr... Then it was released and began to show the madcaps - five kittens as found out, four cats and one girl who resembled Meunya, as like as two peas, except for one red spot in a forehead.
- It is necessary as an asterisk at it, look, to Oro! - I exclaimed.
- But we know now as to call it.
- Precisely! Elaine! - I gave smacking kiss a small Asterisk and she in reply gently licked me in a nose. Mother Meunya did not worry concerning the daughter, apparently, she understood that I not against to take away it to itself and was very happy with it.

Week as one day rushed. Also day when we have to abandon the family came... I did not see several days mother, only the father came to me. But yesterday and it was not. I wanted to say goodbye to them, but Lu, my lovely Lu! dissuaded me, having told that they already float to me. And I have to collect everything that I want to take with myself and to bring to it. Well, I will go I will pack the dresses. I hardly could curtail them though into some similarity of knot. They were continually developed and it was necessary to turn them several times anew. At last, I finished collecting and carried knot on the coast where I was waited by Lu. In a mouth it held a small casket. It is not one of in what there were our wedding rings, another absolutely. It threw it to me and ordered to thrust everything there. I began to laugh. There is a joker! AS I will pack into such small casket this bale with dresses and some other things and gifts which presented to us on a wedding. But Lu was unperturbable. He hooked a nose my bale, threw it up and when that fell directly to a casket, instantly disappeared in it! I stiffened with the opened mouth and, having looked at a dolphin, saw that he laughs in all the teeth! I stamped a leg on water, having sprinkled it, but that to it some water! He screeched, cracked and began to clap from pleasure flippers. Then, having sailed from me, dived. I stared at water - where it? Good-bye to you, anything... Came on a belt into water and put a face in water, to look where it there. And here it jumped out under the very nose! I grasped it by a fin and we floated. Eph flew over us and something shouted, I think that she said goodbye to me too. A lovely bird, she made for me so much! While we swam, I forgot about everything on light! Wind, the sea, Anar that else it is necessary! But here Lu turned to the coast. Though at someone the head cooks...

I left, shaking off water and got directly to embraces of darling. Oro waited for me ashore. Having embraced one hand, another waved to a dolphin and led me to mountains. I on the run picked up a casket. The foot of mountains had gnomes. They came to say goodbye. I serially embraced them, kissed, cried, promised to be screwed, but... heart clenched in a presentiment... Whether I will return?
Slightly at some distance there was a father. He was concentrated and quiet, but on densely shifted eyebrows I saw that it is disturbing.
- Father! - I rushed run to it. - Hi! You are one? Mother could not?
- No, expensive, she not very well feels.
I looked to it in eyes and... understood everything. Having raised the head and having clenched teeth, I went with the husband to the mountains. We were followed only by the father. He held little Elaine in hand. She was in small basket with a cover. We took away it with ourselves. Having looked back, saw how Meunya jumps on stones for us. Waited my beauty and I took her on hands. Over the heads of us seagulls with Efoy at the head turned. My heart clenched from a grief of loss and grief of separation. Not so I imagined farewell to the family... The father at last started talking.
- Oro, tell, you already flew sometime?
- No, it was not necessary - the guy in reply smiled. The father frowned even more and wanted to tell something else, but here my husband turned to me:
- My princess, you trust me? - he asked and glanced to me in eyes. Whether I trusted him? Yes, it is unconditional! Nodded to it:
- Yes, Oro, I trust you! - also enclosed the hand in him. So we reached that top with which his father departed. Meunya jumped off from hands and it is so awkward that she broke off my children's necklace, sinenky... Beads cheerfully jumped on stones what back what down, in an abyss...
- The father, do not forget me! - I looked at it with despair, understanding that it remains one... He nodded to me, awkwardly embraced, passed small basket from little Elaine and stepped aside not to disturb us. Oro got a wide belt from a pocket and firmly fastened us to each other. Having once again nodded the father, we got up on the very brink and rushed down... What there waited for us?...

EPILOGUE.

When the daughter with the young spouse jumped from mountain top down, Formaite felt how his heart fell a cropper together with them somewhere in a chasm. He approached the edge and glanced there. They already were practically not visible. He saw only as the pack of huge eagles turned in air, gradually leaving further and further.

Earelen was not deceived, her mother was not any more. She died away, without having managed to recover from Undume. And it did not know now how he will live further, without her, without daughter... He could not drown because drank so much in due time potions to which gave to drink to him Lingez that could already breathe freely under water as early as years hundred. Again approached edge of top. It is only necessary to take one step and all... But as soon as he thought of it, felt that someone persistently clings it for a trouser-leg. Having looked, saw Meunya with kids. They also tried to get to him on trousers upward. Formaite grunted and, having lifted one of them, the most persistent, thrust to itself for a bosom. Having looked back, shook the head and went down, towards the sea. When went down, suddenly saw the beads from the daughter's bracelet scattered on all stones. Bent down to lift at least one, but they one by one turned into the small blue florets which are smelling sweet all around. He remembered her last words: "Do not forget me"... Having lifted a floret, put in a pocket: "I will not forget, expensive!" Now it had the whole economy from kittens and it did not make sense to die. Ahead the sea which did not tear away it lapped, and welcomed a kind roar, Lu who will not leave it for one day, Eph, gnomes... Life proceeded. Having looked back to mountains, Formaite saw many blue florets... Earelen. It is the memory of it... Having lowered a kitten on sand, he went to build the house...
