Cytat
Do celu tam się wysiada. Lec Stanisław Jerzy (pierw. de Tusch-Letz, 1909-1966)
A bogowie grają w kości i nie pytają wcale czy chcesz przyłączyć się do gry (. . . ) Bogowie kpią sobie z twojego poukładanego życia (. . . ) nie przejmują się zbytnio ani naszymi planami na przyszłość ani oczekiwaniami. Gdzieś we wszechświecie rzucają kości i przypadkiem wypada twoja kolej. I odtąd zwyciężyć lub przegrać - to tylko kwestia szczęścia. Borys Pasternak
Idąc po kurzych jajach nie podskakuj. Przysłowie szkockie
I Herkules nie poradzi przeciwko wielu.
Dialog półinteligentów równa się monologowi ćwierćinteligenta. Stanisław Jerzy Lec (pierw. de Tusch - Letz, 1909-1966)

.Derian, for his part, was replenishing their sadly depleted supplies.Edlin was assisting him at Derian's invitation.However, with Bold's help, Firekeeper collected her stragglers before the morning was much older.In a private room witha thick door and Bold outside the windows to make certain none snooped on their conference, she informed them of what theperegrine had discovered."So," the wolf-woman concluded, "how soon can we leave?"Derian frowned thoughtfully."I'm nearly finished with my purchases.There are farms along the way, even a tavern or two with rooms to let.We don'tneed to carry as much."Edlin nodded agreement and seemed to be about to launch into one of his incomprehensible speeches when Doc spoke up."Have we thought this through?" he asked."So we go.What are we going to do when we get there?"Firekeeper honored Doc for his healing talent a talent he had insisted on using to her benefit as soon as he had recoveredsome, so that her hip no longer ached and the bruises were fading to a nasty purplish green.Because of how she honored him,she held back her exasperation."We must ride for days and days," she reminded him gently."Maybe we can plan on the road?"Doc nodded a trace impatiently."We can and shall," he said."However, do you really think that the few of us can take Smuggler's Light?" Firekeeper was sincerely puzzled."We not take this light.We take Citrine.She is very small.""Firekeeper," Doc persisted, "they won't give her to us, not just for asking, nor do I suspect that she's going to beparticularly easy to steal away.This matter has advanced beyond our ability to handle it alone.""I say! I'd wondered about that," Edlin said diffidently."I mean, this Endbrook is an ambassador, what? Wouldn't ourgoing after him and I know you, Sister, you're not going to let him hurt Citrine and then go free as air I don't particularlywant to let him go myself& But what I was saying is, wouldn't our going after him create a diplomatic incident?"Firekeeper felt her patience melting."Not again!" she wailed."Isn't anything simple?""Maybe among the wolves," Edlin said kindly, "but not among humans, what?""And not among wolves either," Blind Seer added from where he lay beside her on the floor."If it was, you wouldn't behere.By the way, have you considered how you're going to get the artifacts you gave to Elise and Wendee away from them?They sleep with them at night and wear them under their clothing by day.""Shut up!" Firekeeper growled at him.The humans blinked at her and she slouched down."Not for you, Edlin," she apologized, for it was clear that everyone thought she'd been snarling at Edlin."That's all right," he beamed.Firekeeper sighed."This diplomatic incident," she said, sounding out the words carefully, "how do we prevent it and rescue Citrine still?"She had expected this simple question to start another long wrangle, but Doc surprised her by saying:"I have an idea.It will take some cooperation from your wingéd-folk allies, Firekeeper, but I think it's time we brought inPrincess Sapphire.Citrine is, after all, her little sister.Sapphire's not likely to refuse a call to come to her aid.If the crownprincess decides an ambassador is out of line, she can act against him& ""Boot him out, you mean," Edlin translated happily."That's right," Doc concurred."She can also bring in some of the Royal Guard to enforce her wishes."Elise asked a trace hesitantly, "But didn't Princess Lovella fail to take Smuggler's Light with an army?""True," Doc replied, "but Sapphire isn't Lovella and she'll have Lovella's failure to learn from.Sapphire won't be lookingto take the tower, just to remove two of its residents.I think the pirates may see reason and surrender Baron Endbrook andCitrine if their choice is that or losing the light house.""I could ask Elation to carry words," Firekeeper said, glancing over at the peregrine, "but she is one.Do you need morethat you speak of allies?"Doc nodded."I also suggest that a message be sent to King Allister.From court gossip following the wedding, I know thathe was planning to have ships patrol the coast lest Queen Valora get ambitious.He may be able to divert a ship or two tocover the coastal side of the swamp just close enough in so that we can inform Baron Endbrook that there's no escape thatway."Elation moved uneasily on her perch, lifting first one foot, than the other."I cannot be everywhere." she said."Nor do I care for the idea of flying over the sea searching for ships.I begin tounderstand why Doc speaks of 'allies.' ""So do I," Firekeeper replied, impressed and unsettled at the scope of Doc's vision."You will someday be among theMothers of your people," she continued."If you went with Doc's message to King Allister, could you convince some of theRoyal Gulls to seek out the ships?""I could try," Elation said, "but I can no more promise for a seagull who isn't here than I can promise for the wind.""Elation will try," Firekeeper said aloud, "but she cannot promise.Bold could carry the message to Eagle's Nest.He is nota falcon nor yet is he known to Princess Sapphire, but you can make the writings talk for him.Consider what you will writeand write it small.I go and speak with Bold."She leapt to her feet and hurried outside, not wanting the others to see how Doc's idea had troubled her world.A fewmoons ago, Doc had not known of the Royal Beasts.Now he had swallowed the idea that there were beasts intelligent enoughto serve his needs and was turning them to his use
