At memoirs on Daniel person Gaumaty was deformed by a grimace of animal hatred. "This upstart of much has reached. And
for what short term! Really god eboreev, indeed, so is powerful? He has tried to banish this seditious thought, but it, time
having arisen, precisely importunate fly, turned nearby, appearing again and again. No, it cannot be. Unless mighty god
would give truly the people under a heel of the conqueror?! And what, if would give? What, if their god in the immense
cunning has wished, that eborei, having come to these earths the humiliated captives, became proud masters of Babylon?
What, if Daniel, indeed, is sent by the god to break a temple of Marduka and to enslave the Gate of God? The bowstring is
tense, the arrow is sent to the purpose, now, perhaps, only from it, from Gaumaty, depends, whether it will get to the
substituted board or in an open breast of Babylon. Not to happen to it!" To itself the Supreme priest has spoken, and with
force has pushed the gilt doors of a sanctuary.
From kurilnits, placed on a circle near the gold statue of Marduka, rose a fragrant smoke of burnt aromas. Gaumata has
passed between them and habitual movement has dropped to stops mogushchestvennejshego from gods. "Accept my
fidelity and my service, about the lord of destinies! A sculpture silently listened to words of a priest. In a breast of that the deaf
irritation has involuntarily moved. Now, when it could present favorable messages to the Master of gods, that pretended to be
the gold idol, without wishing to divide its pleasure!
It nidintu-is white, on what has not been allocated by refined reason, was not mistaken. "Angels" who have gone from
Babylon were unexpectedly found near Karhana among guards of Valtasara. However, why unexpectedly? If actually they
only demons, paternal to them not to follow this mysterious Scythian? That and, oh, as is not simple! Several months ago it
has appeared in Babylon and not particularly as has come to be before the tsar. How many tried Gaumata to find out, this
person and who has spent it to a palace of Valtasara whence undertook, nobody could tell about it of anything distinct.
Karhan has appeared anywhere, precisely thundercloud, was called as the Scythian, and it is easy, as if effortlessly, has
overcome in a duel of the best fighters of the Babylon kingdom, with the weapon and without the weapon, top and the
pedestrian. Kir knowingly named this shaggy savage Enkidu, it, indeed, seemed generation of any terrible animal, unknown
and dangerous. Long time of Gaumata not too cared of it. Scythians always were famous for eagerness to fight and skill, but
since then when casually it managed to overhear conversation of the commander of imperial bodyguards with Daniel, he has
understood, how much was mistaken, without showing to zveropodobnomu to the savage of steadfast attention. This
generation of a night nightmare expressed with such language that visitors from the far Ellady, famous for rhetoric art, quite
could recognise as its best pupil.
