\u00a0<\/strong>C\u00e2nd noaptea f\u00e2lf\u00e2ie greoaie pe codru \u015fi strigile \u00eencep s\u0103 v\u00e2neze \u015fobolanii v\u00e2sco\u015fi, m\u0103 trezesc ca din amor\u0163eal\u0103 \u015fi ies la plimbare. M\u0103 mi\u015fc greu sprijinindu-m\u0103 de copaci, \u015fi de\u015fi anii au trecut ca \u015fi via\u0163a \u015fi visul, \u00eemi e totul proasp\u0103t \u00een amintire. Trec pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 hele\u015fteul m\u00e2los \u00een care a intrat pentru ultima oar\u0103, pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 lumini\u015ful rotund ca un ochi de la marginea p\u0103durii unde se ivea s\u0103 ne cheme, \u015fi privesc din dep\u0103rtare cl\u0103direa p\u0103r\u0103ginit\u0103 \u015fi ur\u00e2t mirositoare a fortului p\u0103r\u0103sit, pe care cresc iedera \u015fi buruienile bolnave. Uneori m\u0103 av\u00e2nt \u00eentr-acolo \u015fov\u0103itor, dar renun\u0163 de obicei la jum\u0103tatea drumului. Ca beat \u015fi bolnav m\u0103 \u00eentorc spre r\u0103coarea p\u0103durii \u015fi a apei, \u015fi de cele mai multe ori m\u0103 a\u015fez pe o piatr\u0103. Sper (m\u0103 tem?…)<\/em> c\u0103 \u00eentr-una din nop\u0163i am s\u0103 o \u00eent\u00e2lnesc pe fata care mi-a luat inima, sper, m\u0103 tem<\/em>, c\u0103 am s\u0103 o \u00eent\u00e2lnesc pe ea.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

A<\/strong>cum foarte mult\u0103 vreme, venisem \u00een Transilvania cu afaceri. C\u0103l\u0103torisem de la Bistri\u0163a cu tr\u0103sura, \u015fi planul ini\u0163ial era s\u0103 cump\u0103r un cal de la Fortul Omului Mort, dincolo de pasul V\u00e2lcan, unde aveam scrisori de acreditare pentru c\u0103pitanul Morphis. Rom\u00e2nii opuseser\u0103 o rezisten\u0163\u0103 s\u0103lbatic\u0103, dar regiunea era acum \u00een m\u00e2inile trupelor imperiale, \u015fi tensiunea dintre localnici \u015fi ocupatori f\u0103cea c\u0103l\u0103toria deosebit de periculoas\u0103. M\u0103 \u00eenarmasem c\u00e2t de bine putusem \u015fi \u00eencercasem s\u0103 g\u0103sesc un tovar\u0103\u015f de c\u0103l\u0103torie, din nefericire tot ce putusem ob\u0163ine era s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eent\u00e2lnesc la Fort cu un asociat de-al meu din Cluj, un oarecare maghiar pe nume Ganaz. \u00cempreun\u0103 urma s\u0103 trecem Valea Lupului \u015fi s\u0103 ridic\u0103m o sum\u0103 de la evrei, dup\u0103 care, din nou, trebuia s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eentorc singur.<\/p>\n

Neimplicat \u00een politica Imperiului \u015fi venind des \u00een Transilvania \u015fi Valahia cu diverse treburi financiare, aveam rela\u0163ii destul de bune cu locuitorii acestor meleaguri, c\u0103rora le vorbeam, destul de bine, limba. Dar se putea \u00eent\u00e2mpla oric\u00e2nd s\u0103 nimeresc \u00eentr-o ciocnire, \u015fi la m\u00e2nie, localnicii nu mai \u015ftiau de nimic. Uneori p\u00e2rjoleau totul pe distan\u0163e uria\u015fe \u015fi calul murea de foame sub tine, iar f\u00e2nt\u00e2nile erau otr\u0103vite \u015fi nu puteai dec\u00e2t s\u0103 speri c\u0103 Domnul va trimite o ploaie ca s\u0103 scapi.<\/p>\n

Nu trimitea \u00eentotdeauna.<\/p>\n

Iar pe marginile drumurilor imperiale, g\u0103seai de multe ori cadavre eviscerate at\u00e2rnate \u00een pari, \u015fi erau de b\u0103rba\u0163i majoritatea, dar nu toate.<\/p>\n

Am ajuns la Fortul Omului Mort \u00eentr-o sear\u0103 r\u0103coroas\u0103 de iulie, r\u0103coroas\u0103 din cauza muntelui \u015fi a r\u00e2urilor care curgeau \u00een apropiere cu \u015fopot straniu \u015fi trist. Pe drum, tovar\u0103\u015fii mei din tr\u0103sur\u0103 vorbeau de atacuri organizate de localnici \u015fi de represiunea austriac\u0103, \u015fi to\u0163i erau sup\u0103ra\u0163i \u015fi \u00eengrijora\u0163i \u015fi nemul\u0163umi\u0163i. Nu mai primisem nici o veste de la Ganaz, a\u015fa c\u0103 dac\u0103 nu \u00eel g\u0103seam la fort, trebuia s\u0103 \u00eel a\u015ftept acolo.<\/p>\n

Cl\u0103direa fusese ridicat\u0103 la distan\u0163\u0103 de marginea p\u0103durii, at\u00e2t c\u00e2t o permitea relieful. Meterezele erau groase \u015fi se \u00een\u0103l\u0163au maiestuoase \u015fi amenin\u0163\u0103toare \u00een bezn\u0103, iar luna nu r\u0103zb\u0103tea prin norii gro\u015fi \u015fi negri care acopereau orizontul. Fortul, neobi\u015fnuit de t\u0103cut, nu d\u0103dea deloc senza\u0163ia unei a\u015fez\u0103ri pline de via\u0163\u0103, fie ea chiar \u015fi una aflat\u0103 \u00een a\u015fteptare atent\u0103. Dimpotriv\u0103, a\u015f fi putut crede c\u0103 era pustie. Au trecut minute bune de lovit regulat \u00een lemnul de frasin al por\u0163ii, \u015fi o und\u0103 de team\u0103 c\u0103 a\u015f fi singur pe meleagurile acelea cumplite \u00eemi str\u0103b\u0103tu mintea \u015fi \u015fira spin\u0103rii p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd u\u015fa cea grea se deschise, \u015fi fe\u0163e \u00eentunecate \u015fi neprietenoase m\u0103 privir\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 o vorb\u0103, f\u0103c\u00e2ndu-mi un semn s\u0103 intru \u015fi conduc\u00e2ndu-m\u0103 la c\u0103pitan.<\/p>\n

Figura lui Morphis era una aspr\u0103 de ofi\u0163er, acoperit\u0103 de cicatrici \u015fi de riduri. Uniforma \u00eei era ne\u00eengrijit\u0103. Sabia lung\u0103 o \u0163inea pe mas\u0103, dar am v\u0103zut rugin\u0103 pe lam\u0103 \u015fi m-am mirat. Nimic nu amintea de ordinea imperial\u0103. Nu a scos vreun cuv\u00e2nt c\u00e2t mi-a citit scrisorile de recomandare, apoi mi le-a \u00eenapoiat cu o grimas\u0103 \u015fi mi-a spus c\u0103 sunt liber s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2n dac\u0103 vreau. Ganaz nu venise \u015fi nici nu avea s\u0103 vin\u0103. Transilv\u0103nenii colc\u0103iau \u00een p\u0103dure, ucig\u00e2nd to\u0163i c\u0103l\u0103torii str\u0103ini. Mai mult ca sigur tovar\u0103\u015fii mei de drum osp\u0103tau deja corbii.<\/p>\n

\u00cenfiorat, l-am \u00eentrebat dac\u0103 nu poate trimite oameni s\u0103 \u00eei ajute, \u015fi a ridicat din umeri. Nu am mai zis nimic. Mi-a dat o camer\u0103 murdar\u0103 \u015fi ne\u00eentre\u0163inut\u0103 \u015fi m-am aruncat pe un pat de lemn cu armele la \u00eendem\u00e2n\u0103 \u015fi z\u0103vor\u00e2nd u\u015fa cu grij\u0103, \u00eentreb\u00e2ndu-m\u0103 \u00een g\u00e2nd ce a\u015f avea de f\u0103cut.<\/p>\n

De oboseal\u0103, am adormit.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Somnul mi-a fost greu \u015fi f\u0103r\u0103 de vise, ca somnul de mort, dar undeva dup\u0103 miezul nop\u0163ii m-am trezit dintr-odat\u0103, \u015fi pe fereastra z\u0103brelit\u0103 a camerei am v\u0103zut luna palid\u0103 ivit\u0103 din nouri, \u015fi ca o dung\u0103 de s\u00e2nge pe suprafa\u0163a ei alburie.<\/p>\n

M-am ridicat \u00een picioare.<\/p>\n

Greu de explicat ce s-a petrecut pe urm\u0103, c\u0103ci m\u0103 sim\u0163eam pe jum\u0103tate adormit. Ceva ca o atrac\u0163ie puternic\u0103 \u015fi fluid\u0103 curgea prin mine, \u015fi am deschis u\u015fa dintr-un impuls irezistibil, urc\u00e2nd alene pe meterez. \u00cemi spuneam c\u0103 ie\u015fisem la aer sau poate s\u0103 v\u0103d ce e cu luna mai de aproape, dar de fapt era ceva peste puterile mele, \u015fi cumva sim\u0163eam c\u0103 e ceva diabolic \u015fi r\u0103u.<\/p>\n

Pe metereze nu eram singur. Doi servitori rom\u00e2ni se aflau acolo. Priveau cerul \u015fi \u015fu\u015foteau, \u015fi c\u00e2nd m-au v\u0103zut m-au privit cu \u00eengrijorare. Dar eu nu le-am dat aten\u0163ie \u015fi nu m\u0103 mai uitam la lun\u0103 sau la ei, ci doar la fata care se ivise la marginea p\u0103durii.<\/p>\n

Nicic\u00e2nd nu mai v\u0103zusem sau visasem o asemenea frumuse\u0163e, o at\u00e2t de perfect\u0103 \u00eembinare a tr\u0103s\u0103turilor ei zeie\u015fti. Era ca \u015fi cum Afrodita cobor\u00e2se din mituri. P\u0103rul \u00eei era o cascad\u0103 str\u0103lucitoare \u015fi blond\u0103, iar ochii ca smaraldul lichid. Trupul \u00eei era numai unduire \u015fi forme. Purta doar o mantie de purpur\u0103 catifelat\u0103 \u015fi podoabe str\u0103vechi \u015fi minu\u0163ios lucrate, dar cumva nu p\u0103rea necuviincioas\u0103. \u00cei vedeam de la distan\u0163\u0103 buzele ro\u015fii \u015fi pline \u015fi br\u0103\u0163ara de aur de pe glezna delicat\u0103, vedeam chiar genele tremur\u00e2nd irezistibil peste ad\u00e2ncul ochilor mari, unghiile lungi \u015fi vopsite cu aceea\u015fi culoare purpurie care sem\u0103na cu nuan\u0163a observat\u0103 ceva mai devreme pe astrul cadaveric al nop\u0163ii. Pielea \u00eei era alb\u0103 ca marmura \u015fi corpul \u2013 un templu.<\/p>\n

Fascina\u0163ia m\u0103 cople\u015fea.<\/p>\n

Am privit-o minute<\/em> cum st\u0103tea nemi\u015fcat\u0103 \u00eentre verdele \u00eentunecat al copacilor, cu mintea, sufletul \u015fi inima amestecate de be\u0163ia sim\u0163urilor bolnave \u015fi trupul tremur\u00e2nd de dorin\u0163\u0103 ca \u015fi de friguri. Nu m\u0103 puteam g\u00e2ndi dec\u00e2t s\u0103 o iau \u00een bra\u0163e \u015fi s\u0103 o cer \u00een c\u0103s\u0103torie. \u00cen clipa aceea mi-a\u015f fi dat via\u0163a ca s\u0103 \u00eei pun inelul pe deget, \u015fi nu \u00eemi p\u0103sa dac\u0103 era o localnic\u0103 sau cineva de la fort. Voiam doar s\u0103 fie a mea \u015fi s\u0103 o duc de acolo.<\/p>\n

Cei doi localnici se uitau la mine cu spaim\u0103.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Cine este?… am \u00eentrebat, ar\u0103t\u00e2nd cu m\u00e2na tremur\u00e2nd\u0103 spre lizier\u0103.<\/p>\n

Fe\u0163ele rom\u00e2nilor erau albe.<\/p>\n

\u2013 O vede\u0163i?… \u00eentreb\u0103 unul din ei.<\/p>\n

L-am privit cu mare nedumerire.<\/p>\n

\u2013 E Fiica Lunii, spuse cel\u0103lalt. Nu v\u0103 uita\u0163i la ea<\/em>… altfel o s\u0103 v\u0103 fure inima.<\/p>\n

\u015etiam destul de bine limba valah\u0103, dar felul \u00een care a pronun\u0163at ea<\/em> mi s-a p\u0103rut ciudat, \u00eenc\u00e2t aproape c\u0103 nu am recunoscut cuv\u00e2ntul. \u015ei am\u00e2ndoi erau \u00eengrozi\u0163i.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Ce vre\u0163i s\u0103 spune\u0163i?… am \u00eentrebat \u00eencruntat. Cum adic\u0103, dac\u0103 o v\u0103d?… \u015ei ce e aia, Fiica Lunii<\/em>?…<\/p>\n

\u2013 Noi nu o vedem, spuse \u00eencet unul dintre localnici.<\/p>\n

L-am privit buim\u0103cit. Ce era asta?… Oare \u00ee\u015fi b\u0103teau joc de mine?…<\/p>\n

Dar fe\u0163ele lor ar\u0103tau r\u0103u<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u2013 E chiar acolo<\/em>, am spus indic\u00e2nd spre p\u0103dure, dar \u00eentr-adev\u0103r nu mai era nimeni. Disp\u0103ruse c\u00e2nd \u00eentorsesem capul, disp\u0103ruse \u015fi nuan\u0163a s\u00e2ngerie din lun\u0103, iar eu m\u0103 uitam proste\u015fte spre copacii verde-\u00eenchis \u00eentre care v\u0103zusem zei\u0163a. \u015ei cei doi transilv\u0103neni priveau c\u0103tre mine cu fric\u0103.<\/p>\n

M-am \u00eentors furios pe c\u0103lc\u00e2ie \u015fi am cobor\u00e2t meterezul, decis s\u0103 l\u0103muresc problema c\u00e2t voi putea de devreme diminea\u0163\u0103. De fapt, a\u015f fi vrut s\u0103 o fac chiar atunci, dar nu puteam s\u0103 \u00eel trezesc la ora aceea pe c\u0103pitanul Morphis.<\/p>\n

M-am plimbat cu frenezie pe ziduri, \u00een speran\u0163a c\u0103 fata se va ivi din nou, dar nu mai era nic\u0103ieri, iar luna ar\u0103ta normal\u0103. Pe m\u0103sur\u0103 ce orele reci ale nop\u0163ii treceau \u015fi zorii erau aproape, m-am g\u00e2ndit la absurdul vedeniei, la ce \u015fanse ar fi fost ca o fat\u0103 frumoas\u0103 \u015fi goal\u0103 s\u0103 se afle \u00een p\u0103dure singur\u0103 noaptea, \u015fi m-am \u00eentrebat dac\u0103 eram nebun.<\/p>\n

Dar localnicii nu negaser\u0103 c\u0103 era acolo. Spuseser\u0103 doar c\u0103 nu puteau s\u0103 o vad\u0103<\/em>.<\/p>\n

C\u0103pitanul m\u0103 primi f\u0103r\u0103 entuziasm chiar \u00een zori, \u015fi un b\u0103tr\u00e2n cu p\u0103rul scurt \u015fi albit se afla cu el \u00een \u00eenc\u0103pere. Mi-a fost prezentat ca fiind doctorul Klaus. M\u0103 ascultar\u0103 cu aten\u0163ie, c\u0103pitanul str\u00e2ng\u00e2nd din din\u0163i, doctorul cl\u0103tin\u00e2nd \u00eengrijorat capul. Spre finalul relat\u0103rii, \u015ftiam deja c\u0103 m\u0103 vor crede dement, a\u015fa c\u0103 am fost \u00eentru totul surprins c\u00e2nd l-am auzit pe ofi\u0163er rostind cuvintele:<\/p>\n

\u2013 \u015etiam c\u0103 a fost aici. A disp\u0103rut str\u0103jerul azi-noapte.<\/p>\n

Parc\u0103 m\u0103 lovise puternic \u00een cre\u015ftet.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Fiica Lunii<\/em>?… am b\u00e2iguit.<\/p>\n

Doctorul Klaus ridic\u0103 din umeri.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Vine aproape \u00eentotdeauna. St\u0103 la lizier\u0103 \u015fi cheam\u0103 cu mi\u015fc\u0103rile corpului, uneori \u015fi \u015fopte\u015fte. Mul\u0163i merg. C\u00e2\u0163iva rezist\u0103. Oricum ar fi, ia din noi.<\/p>\n

Nu-mi venea s\u0103 \u00eemi cred urechilor.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Vre\u0163i s\u0103 spune\u0163i c\u0103 e o localnic\u0103?… Atrage oameni, pentru ca tovar\u0103\u015fii ei s\u0103 \u00eei ucid\u0103?…<\/p>\n

Ipoteza era absurd\u0103. Era at\u00e2t de frumoas\u0103!…<\/p>\n

\u2013 Nu, spuse Morphis. Atrage \u015fi localnici.<\/em><\/p>\n

Eram complet n\u0103ucit.<\/p>\n

\u2013 C\u0103pitane…, am \u015foptit. Ce Dumnezeu se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103?…<\/p>\n

Ofi\u0163erul \u00ee\u015fi feri privirea.<\/p>\n

\u2013 \u00cenc\u0103 nu \u015ftim. \u015etim doar c\u0103 vine acolo, \u015fi unii b\u0103rba\u0163i se duc dup\u0103 ea. Nu se mai \u00eentoarce nici unul, desigur.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Am \u00eencercat s\u0103 o v\u00e2n\u0103m, zise Klaus. Nu reu\u015fim s\u0103 o g\u0103sim niciodat\u0103. Dar c\u00e2te unul din grup dispare, sau g\u0103sim pe cineva lips\u0103 c\u00e2nd ne \u00eentoarcem la fort. \u00centr-un fel sau altul… \u00eei ucide. \u00centr-un fel sau altul… ne va ucide pe to\u0163i.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Doamne Dumnezeule mare, am spus \u015foptit.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Vom abandona fortul, ad\u0103ug\u0103 Morphis. Dar acum este imposibil. Suntem \u00eencercui\u0163i. A\u015fa c\u0103 nu putem dec\u00e2t s\u0103 a\u015ftept\u0103m… \u015fi s\u0103 privim cum ne ia oamenii.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Dar dac\u0103 \u015ftiu ce \u00eei a\u015fteapt\u0103… de ce se duc?…<\/p>\n

\u2013 \u015ei tu \u015ftii ce te a\u015fteapt\u0103. Tu nu te-ai duce?…<\/p>\n

Am refuzat s\u0103 r\u0103spund. Am refuzat \u015fi s\u0103 g\u00e2ndesc r\u0103spunsul.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Tot ce putem face e s\u0103 st\u0103m departe de zid \u015fi s\u0103 nu privim afar\u0103. De asemenea, st\u0103m grupa\u0163i, pentru a ne feri unii pe al\u0163ii. Dar nu putem sta to\u0163i la un loc… c\u0103ci ne e fric\u0103 s\u0103 o l\u0103s\u0103m nesupravegheat\u0103 cu totul. Ne temem c\u0103 ar putea \u00eencerca s\u0103 intre.<\/p>\n

Mi se zb\u00e2rlise p\u0103rul \u00een cap \u015fi inima \u00eemi tremura de groaz\u0103.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Dar dac\u0103… am \u00eencercat, dac\u0103 localnicii disp\u0103ru\u0163i sunt de fapt oamenii ei, fugi\u0163i de aici \u015fi r\u0103ma\u015fi al\u0103turi de complici?… Toat\u0103 treaba asta cu Fiica Lunii<\/em>… poate nu voiau dec\u00e2t s\u0103 bage groaza \u00een voi!…<\/p>\n

\u2013 Au reu\u015fit, spuse mohor\u00e2t Klaus. Dar dac\u0103 e o fat\u0103 ca toate celelalte, de ce o v\u0103d doar unii?…<\/p>\n

Nu aveam nici un r\u0103spuns. \u00centrebarea r\u0103mase \u00een aer.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Nu putem dec\u00e2t s\u0103 l\u0103s\u0103m multe g\u0103rzi treze \u00een curte, care s\u0103 vegheze ca ea s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103 acolo, \u015fi ca nici unul dintre noi s\u0103 nu plece cumva. Dormim pu\u0163in. Suntem la cap\u0103tul puterilor. \u015ei oric\u00e2t ne str\u0103duim, tot mai e c\u00e2te unul care pleac\u0103.<\/p>\n

\u2013 \u015ei nu ave\u0163i nici o solu\u0163ie?…<\/p>\n

\u2013 Doar ne rug\u0103m.<\/p>\n

M-am rugat \u015fi eu \u00een ziua aceea \u015fi m-am ferit de ziduri \u015fi nop\u0163ile au trecut, iar oamenii continuau s\u0103 dispar\u0103. A\u015fteptam sosirea trupelor imperiale care s\u0103 ne despresoare, \u015fi \u00eentre timp i-am pierdut pe cei doi localnici care m\u0103 avertizaser\u0103, \u015fi \u00eentr-o noapte cu lun\u0103 \u00eens\u00e2ngerat\u0103 l-am pierdut \u015fi pe doctorul Klaus.<\/p>\n

\u015ei, c\u00e2nd mai eram numai trei oameni, l-am pierdut \u015fi pe c\u0103pitanul Morphis.<\/p>\n

Trecuser\u0103 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni de c\u00e2nd o v\u0103zusem dar \u00eenc\u0103 o mai purtam \u00een carne, cu dulcea\u0163a trupului ei revenindu-mi noapte de noapte \u00een vis. \u00cens\u0103 m\u0103 sim\u0163eam mai puternic. \u015ei \u00een diminea\u0163a acelei zile, am hot\u0103r\u00e2t s\u0103 \u00eemi \u00eencerc norocul de unul singur c\u0103ci ceilal\u0163i refuzaser\u0103 s\u0103 plece, \u015fi am decis s\u0103 trec de \u00eempresurare sau s\u0103 mor \u00eencerc\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n

Am plecat \u00een zori \u015fi am l\u0103sat la fort un om singur.<\/p>\n

Nu aveam cal \u015fi m-am gr\u0103bit c\u00e2t am putut, dar eram obosit \u015fi nu cuno\u015fteam regiunea. Am dat de dou\u0103 ori peste p\u00e2lcuri r\u0103zle\u0163e de localnici \u00eenarma\u0163i, \u015fi am reu\u015fit s\u0103 m\u0103 ascund cu spada \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103 \u015fi s\u0103 \u00eei urm\u0103resc din ochi cum trec cu ochii aprin\u015fi, spion\u00e2nd de la dep\u0103rtare fortul. Nu p\u0103reau ferici\u0163i ci bolnavi, \u015fi ceva l\u0103untric \u00eemi spunea c\u0103 \u015fi ei pierdeau oameni.<\/p>\n

Apoi seara a fost aproape.<\/p>\n

M\u0103 \u00eendep\u0103rtasem destul de mult, \u015fi puteam spera c\u0103 Fiica Lunii<\/em> r\u0103m\u0103sese \u00een urm\u0103. Dar nu \u015fi \u00een g\u00e2ndurile \u015fi dorin\u0163ele mele. F\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 vreau, parc\u0103 \u00eencetinisem pasul, parc\u0103 ceva m\u0103 \u00eempiedica s\u0103 \u00eenaintez, m\u0103 \u00eendemna s\u0103 adorm \u015fi s\u0103 a\u015ftept luna, \u015fi numai cu mari eforturi reu\u015feam s\u0103 continui s\u0103 merg.<\/p>\n

Reu\u015feam totu\u015fi.<\/p>\n

Apoi luna s-a ivit pe cer cu aceea\u015fi nuan\u0163\u0103 de ro\u015fu \u015fi eu eram l\u00e2ng\u0103 un hele\u015fteu, \u015fi m\u0103 oprisem \u015fi priveam \u00een gol \u015fi ea era desigur acolo.<\/p>\n

Era scufundat\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 la genunchi \u00een ap\u0103, de\u015fi apa p\u0103rea mai ad\u00e2nc\u0103, \u015fi imaginea ei era ca de \u00eenger ceresc. V\u00e2ntul bl\u00e2nd \u015fi r\u0103coros al p\u0103durii \u00eei f\u0103cea mantia s\u0103 tremure \u00een jurul trupului fermec\u0103tor, \u015fi buzele \u015fi genele m\u0103 chemau s\u0103 intru \u00een ap\u0103.<\/p>\n

Am scos pumnalul \u015fi am intrat.<\/p>\n

Pe m\u0103sur\u0103 ce p\u0103\u015feam \u015fi m\u0103 apropiam de ea, de picioarele mele tremur\u00e2nde se loveau trupurile moi ale celor care disp\u0103ruser\u0103 \u015fi al c\u0103ror s\u00e2nge colora apa, \u00een vreme ce se rostogoleau cu ochii holba\u0163i \u015fi pieptul desf\u0103cut \u015fi gol<\/em>, \u00eempin\u015fi de colo-colo de valuri. \u015ei tot cu pieptul desf\u0103cut \u015fi gol se lovi de picioarele mele cadavrul c\u0103pitanului Morphis.<\/p>\n

Nu v\u0103 uita\u0163i la ia<\/strong>… altfel o s\u0103 v\u0103 fure inima.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ia<\/em><\/strong>. Nu ea<\/em><\/strong>. Asta spusese localnicul. \u015ei, \u00eentr-adev\u0103r, fata lua inimi.<\/p>\n

Am ridicat pumnalul \u015fi mantia \u00eei alunec\u0103 de pe umeri \u015fi am sc\u0103pat arma c\u00e2nd zei\u0163a m\u0103 \u00eembr\u0103\u0163i\u015f\u0103 cald\u0103 \u015fi goal\u0103 \u015fi \u00eemi \u015fopti vorbe vr\u0103jite la ureche. \u015eocul veni totu\u015fi abia sim\u0163it, \u015fi c\u00e2nd se trase \u00een spate z\u00e2mbind eu am r\u0103mas cl\u0103tinat pe picioare, cu cadavrele putrezite \u015fi moi lovindu-mi-se lin de genunchi.<\/p>\n

\u00cen m\u00e2na cu unghiile delicate \u015fi lungi, ia<\/em> \u0163inea o inim\u0103 \u00eens\u00e2ngerat\u0103 \u015fi ro\u015fie care b\u0103tea \u00eenc\u0103.<\/p>\n
