Chasodei. The secret of Adelia's family

Had been raining in Astrograd since early morning. Frequent drops of autumn rain falling on the roof of the Pigeon Tower made Vasilisa wake up. It’s only five in the morning, too early for school. Zaharra was sleeping a quiet, sound sleep. Vasilisa tried to fall asleep, but the drops, pounding every moment on the roof, did not allow her to do it. When she got tired of struggling with insomnia, the girl decided to do gymnastics, because even if there are classes today, but no one canceled the training. Any activity should always begin with warming up the muscles of the body. Then he will start stretching. However, gymnastics classes did not go as usual. Vasilisa suddenly realized that she could not hear her friend’s breathing… Although the raindrops were pounding, but not so loud that you couldn’t hear the sounds of breathing. Frightened, Vasilisa cautiously approached her friend. I was about to sink her by the shoulder, when suddenly. — BOO!… Out of surprise, Vasilisa fell to where Zaharra was supposedly sleeping. Meanwhile, her friend was laughing, bent over. — Not funny! —Vasilisa objected, getting up from the bed. After the last three words, Zaharra began to laugh even harder, it would seem that soon the whole Lazarus would be shaking from her laughter. — It’s not me, silly! Ah‐ha-ha-ha! This is my mantissa! She waved her clock arrow and the “False Zaharra” disappeared into thin air. — Yes, Vasilisa…— she drawled.— You still have a lot to learn. The Mantissa is a powerful ether that causes the chasodei to substitute itself. Well all. Enough talking. I’m terribly hungry. And at this time, there is fresh ready-made food in the kitchen. — Did you steal food from the Azure Kitchen? Aren’t you ashamed? — Oh, Vasilisa. She didn’t steal, but took our portion only. Okay, you do as you want, and I’ll go eat. I can’t take another minute. Vasilisa sat down next to Zaharra at the table. Unexpectedly, I shivered from the cold. In the Pigeon Tower, it was always cold at this time of year. However, hot tea with the same hot glaze was very welcome. And plus to all this, a basket of hot pies was on the table. Breakfast was held with conversations about the school of Light Hours. Zaharra talked in detail about how and what is arranged. I was a little sorry that Mortinova sent Vasilisa to the zero circle. — There’s nothing particularly scary about it. Your dad is very influential, I bet he’ll persuade Elena to transfer you to a higher circle. However, Vasilisa was not very sure about this. Dad may not come to the aid of the younger Ogneva at all. If you remember how he treated her… she lived for twelve long years without him on the Rest, and then suddenly, he did not show up dusty! If you think so, then we can safely say that the father simply used his daughter in the extraction of the Ruby Key for his heir son North Ognev Jr… Vasilisa’s school uniform was beautiful: A blouse with sleeves up to the elbows, on the blue tie of which the golden number zero was located. A long dark blue skirt and pointed black shoes. After collecting the timer bags, the girls went down from the Pigeon Tower to the first floor, where a carriage pulled by thin horns was already waiting for them…
