Hi\u00e7bir \u015fey s\u00f6yleyemeden uzun bir s\u00fcre Bruz\u2019la oturmu\u015flard\u0131.

Sudor\u2019un yeri Ulna-i\u2019nin iki han\u0131ndan biriydi. D\u0131\u015far\u0131dan bak\u0131ld\u0131\u011f\u0131nda han oldu\u011fu anla\u015f\u0131lmayan bu yeri akl\u0131 k\u0131t Sudor\u2019un nas\u0131l bat\u0131rmadan i\u015fletmeyi ba\u015fard\u0131\u011f\u0131, halk aras\u0131nda dedikodusu dola\u015fan konulardan biriydi.<\/p>\n

Han t\u0131ka basa doluydu. Mishar i\u00e7eri girdi\u011finde, Bruz ve Oruvan\u2019\u0131n bir masada oturmu\u015f ve \u00e7oktan \u015farap i\u00e7meye ba\u015flam\u0131\u015f olduklar\u0131n\u0131 g\u00f6rd\u00fc. Bruz g\u00fcl\u00fcmseyerek aya\u011fa kalk\u0131p arkada\u015f\u0131na sar\u0131ld\u0131. Gen\u00e7 adam y\u0131llar i\u00e7inde hi\u00e7 beklenmedik bir \u015fekilde uzay\u0131p neredeyse Oruvan\u2019a yeti\u015fmi\u015fti. Ama c\u0131l\u0131zl\u0131\u011f\u0131 hala ayn\u0131yd\u0131. Mishar elinde olmadan Bruz\u2019un o ac\u0131 g\u00fcnden sonra hi\u00e7bir zaman eskisi gibi g\u00fcl\u00fcmseyemedi\u011fini d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnd\u00fc.<\/p>\n

Mishar da masadaki yerini al\u0131nca hanc\u0131 Sudor yanlar\u0131na geldi ve bir kupa \u015farab\u0131 Mishar\u2019\u0131n \u00f6n\u00fcne koyup hi\u00e7bir \u015fey s\u00f6ylemeden gitti.<\/p>\n

Oruvan, \u201cOrada k\u00f6t\u00fc bir \u015fey mi oldu?\u201d diye sordu.<\/p>\n

\u201cHay\u0131r, neden sordun?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGeldi\u011fimden beri arada s\u0131rada y\u00fcz\u00fcn\u00fc buru\u015fturuyorsun.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHastay\u0131m biraz, midem bulan\u0131yor. Bir t\u00fcrl\u00fc ge\u00e7medi.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mishar, \u201cKendine dikkat etmelisin,\u201d dedi. \u201c\u00c7ok s\u0131k yolculuk ediyorsun ve seni ne zaman g\u00f6rsek hastas\u0131n. Sana bakacak birini bulmal\u0131s\u0131n.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bruz ka\u015flar\u0131n\u0131 \u00e7at\u0131p, \u201cAnlamad\u0131m\u2026\u201d dedi.<\/p>\n

Oruvan keyifli keyifli g\u00fcl\u00fcms\u00fcyordu. \u201cBir kad\u0131n bul ve evlen diyor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bruz\u2019un patlatt\u0131\u011f\u0131 kahkaha, \u00f6ks\u00fcr\u00fckleriyle kesik kesik s\u00f6nd\u00fc. \u201cBana Ulna-ili bir kad\u0131nla evlenmemi mi s\u00f6yl\u00fcyorsun?\u201d<\/p>\n

Mishar y\u00fcz\u00fcnde ciddi bir ifadeyle, \u201cEvet,\u201d dedi. \u201cGidip gelsen de burada ya\u015f\u0131yorsun. D\u00f6n\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fc bekleyecek bir kar\u0131n olsa, sana baksa fena m\u0131 olur?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEvet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gen\u00e7 adam yumruklar\u0131n\u0131 sinirle masaya vurup h\u0131r\u0131lt\u0131l\u0131 bir sesle, \u201cAsla!\u201d diye ba\u011f\u0131rd\u0131. Di\u011fer m\u00fc\u015fteriler k\u0131nayan g\u00f6zlerle onlar\u0131n oldu\u011fu masaya bir an bakt\u0131lar.<\/p>\n

Bruz masaya do\u011fru e\u011filip g\u00f6zlerini arkada\u015f\u0131na dikmi\u015fti. \u201cBabam annemi g\u00f6zlerimin \u00f6n\u00fcnde katledip kendini de \u00f6ld\u00fcrd\u00fckten sonra bu lanet \u015fehirde kalmam\u0131n bir tek sebebi var.\u201d<\/p>\n

Y\u0131llard\u0131r hakk\u0131nda konu\u015fulmayan konu birden a\u00e7\u0131l\u0131nca Mishar da Oruvan da ne diyeceklerini bilemediler.<\/p>\n

Mishar, \u201cSen hala \u00e7ocukluk hayalinin pe\u015finde misin?\u201d diye sordu.<\/p>\n

Bruz arkas\u0131na yaslan\u0131p meydan okuyan g\u00f6zlerle Mishar\u2019\u0131 s\u00fczd\u00fc. \u201cBana bunu hi\u00e7 d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnmedi\u011fini s\u00f6yleme Mishar.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ve maalesef o hayal de onlarla birlikte yok olup gitti. Zaman, hi\u00e7bir \u015feyi umursamayan, sadece e\u011flenen \u00fc\u00e7 \u00e7ocu\u011fun g\u00f6z\u00fcne ger\u00e7ekleri ac\u0131madan soktu.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bruz tekrar masaya do\u011fru e\u011filip Mishar\u2019\u0131n g\u00f6zlerinin i\u00e7ine bakt\u0131. \u201cAksine bunlar olunca o hayal kendini b\u00fcy\u00fctt\u00fc. Art\u0131k \u00fc\u00e7 \u00e7ocu\u011fun heyecan arayan yolculu\u011fundan bahsetmiyorum. Bunu isteseydik, elimizdeki \u00fc\u00e7 be\u015f alt\u0131nla bunca y\u0131ld\u0131r zaten yapard\u0131k.

Oruvan, \u201cAnlamad\u0131m?\u201d dedi.<\/p>\n

Ac\u0131yla y\u00fcz\u00fcn\u00fc buru\u015fturan Bruz, Oruvan\u2019a d\u00f6n\u00fcp, \u201cZenginlik, \u00e7ok b\u00fcy\u00fck zenginlik,\u201d dedi. \u201cT\u00fcm aileni bu handan b\u00fcy\u00fck bir evde ya\u015fatmaktan, hi\u00e7 \u00e7al\u0131\u015fmamaktan, Mekrolin\u2019in hanlar\u0131nda m\u00fczik dinleyip sabaha kadar i\u00e7mekten, alt\u0131nlar\u0131n\u0131n sat\u0131n alaca\u011f\u0131 ve hayalinde bile g\u00f6remeyece\u011fin g\u00fczellikteki kad\u0131nlardan bahsediyorum.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oruvan, \u201cBu kadar zengin nas\u0131l olunur ki?\u201d diye sordu.<\/p>\n

Mishar, \u201cNeymi\u015f o yol?\u201d diye sordu.<\/p>\n

Bruz g\u00fcl\u00fcmseyip deri yele\u011finin cebinden a\u011fz\u0131nda mantar t\u0131pa olan, k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck, tombul bir \u015fi\u015fe \u00e7\u0131kard\u0131 ve masaya b\u0131rakt\u0131. \u015ei\u015fenin i\u00e7indeki beyaz s\u0131v\u0131 suland\u0131r\u0131lm\u0131\u015f s\u00fct gibi g\u00f6r\u00fcn\u00fcyordu. \u201c\u0130\u015fte bu.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEvet, evet unutmad\u0131k. Yan\u0131mda babamdan kalma bir han\u00e7er var. Art\u0131k bize neler oldu\u011funu anlatacak m\u0131s\u0131n?\u201d<\/p>\n

Bruz yata\u011f\u0131n yan\u0131ndaki duvara s\u0131rt\u0131n\u0131 yaslad\u0131. \u201cKaranl\u0131kta elimde mumla beklerken Gamuth geldi ve pen\u00e7eleriyle omuzlar\u0131mdan tuttu. Bu biraz ac\u0131t\u0131yor ama san\u0131r\u0131m yarat\u0131k zarar vermemeye \u00e7al\u0131\u015f\u0131yor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oruvan, \u201cBu olurken sen hana do\u011fru bak\u0131p g\u00fcl\u00fcmsedin mi peki?\u201d diye sordu.<\/p>\n

Bruz keyifle, \u201cEvet,\u201d diye cevaplad\u0131. \u201cBeni izledi\u011finizi biliyordum.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mishar sab\u0131rs\u0131zd\u0131. \u201cDevam et.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u015eehrin d\u0131\u015f\u0131ndaki mezarl\u0131\u011fa kadar u\u00e7tuk. Gamuth yakla\u015f\u0131nca mezarl\u0131ktaki mozolelerden birinin kap\u0131s\u0131 a\u00e7\u0131ld\u0131. Oradan girdik ve kapkaranl\u0131k bir t\u00fcnelden a\u015fa\u011f\u0131ya do\u011fru u\u00e7tuk. Gamuth beni burnumun ucunu bile g\u00f6remedi\u011fim bir yerde b\u0131rakt\u0131. Biraz sonra \u00e7\u0131kard\u0131\u011f\u0131 seslerden, yava\u015f hareket etti\u011fini d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnd\u00fc\u011f\u00fcm bir yarat\u0131k beni almaya geldi. Elimdeki mumu yak\u0131nca bir s\u00fcr\u00fc \u00e7\u0131k\u0131\u015f\u0131 olan yuvarlak bir alanda oldu\u011fumu fark ettim. Mumdan \u00e7\u0131kan \u0131\u015f\u0131k biraz \u00f6n\u00fcmde duran ve dev bir solucana benzeyen yarat\u0131\u011f\u0131 k\u00f6r etmi\u015fti. Ben de bundan faydalan\u0131p t\u00fcnellerden birine ko\u015ftum. Bu s\u0131rada g\u00f6r\u00fcnmezlik s\u0131v\u0131s\u0131n\u0131 i\u00e7tim. Mum da benimle birlikte g\u00f6r\u00fcnmez oldu. Girdi\u011fim t\u00fcnel bir u\u00e7uruma a\u00e7\u0131l\u0131yormu\u015f. A\u015fa\u011f\u0131ya u\u00e7mamam tamamen bir \u015fanst\u0131. Her taraftan tuhaf inlemeler, yakar\u0131\u015flar duyuyordum. Geri d\u00f6nd\u00fcm. Yarat\u0131k art\u0131k orada de\u011fildi. \u0130kinci t\u00fcnel \u00e7ok b\u00fcy\u00fck ba\u015fka bir alana a\u00e7\u0131l\u0131yordu. Buras\u0131 Tanr\u0131\u00e7a\u2019n\u0131n ordusunun e\u011fitim salonuydu. Duvarlarda y\u00fczlerce me\u015fale yan\u0131yordu ve silahlar, z\u0131rhlar as\u0131l\u0131yd\u0131. San\u0131r\u0131m t\u00fcm Zageller, Lorklar ve Lidiller oradayd\u0131 ve birbiriyle d\u00f6v\u00fc\u015f e\u011fitimi yap\u0131yorlard\u0131. Bir s\u00fcre uzaktan onlar\u0131 izleyip geri d\u00f6nd\u00fcm. \u00dc\u00e7\u00fcnc\u00fc t\u00fcnel bir madene a\u00e7\u0131l\u0131yordu. Toprak duvardaki b\u00fcy\u00fck bir deli\u011fin \u00f6n\u00fcnde, bu i\u015f i\u00e7in de\u011fi\u015ftirilmi\u015f olduklar\u0131n\u0131 d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnd\u00fc\u011f\u00fcm d\u00f6rt kollu, ye\u015fil yarat\u0131klar har\u0131l har\u0131l \u00e7al\u0131\u015f\u0131yor, size getirdi\u011fim bu k\u0131rm\u0131z\u0131 m\u00fccevherden \u00e7\u0131kar\u0131yorlard\u0131. \u00c7\u0131kard\u0131klar\u0131 m\u00fccevherleri madenin ilerisinde bir ba\u015fka t\u00fcnelde bekleyen arabalara y\u00fckl\u00fcyorlard\u0131. Arabalara ba\u011fl\u0131 ve \u00f6r\u00fcmce\u011fe benzeyen sekiz ayakl\u0131 yarat\u0131klar, arabalar dolunca onlar\u0131 t\u00fcnelden a\u015fa\u011f\u0131ya do\u011fru bir yere ta\u015f\u0131yorlard\u0131. Ben daha fazla ileri gitmeden arabalardan bir tane m\u00fccevher \u00e7al\u0131p ka\u00e7t\u0131m. Gamuth\u2019un beni getirdi\u011fi t\u00fcnelden geri yukar\u0131 y\u00fcr\u00fcd\u00fcm. Kendili\u011finden a\u00e7\u0131lan kap\u0131n\u0131n mekanizmas\u0131n\u0131 bulmam kolay olmad\u0131. Neyse, kap\u0131y\u0131 a\u00e7\u0131p mezarl\u0131\u011fa \u00e7\u0131kt\u0131m ve g\u00f6rd\u00fc\u011f\u00fcn\u00fcz gibi d\u00f6nd\u00fcm. Bu kadar.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oruvan ve Mishar t\u00fcm konu\u015fmay\u0131 deh\u015fete d\u00fc\u015ferek, \u015fa\u015fk\u0131nl\u0131kla dinlediler.<\/p>\n

Oruvan\u2019\u0131n rengi atm\u0131\u015ft\u0131. \u201c\u015eimdi biz de oraya, o yarat\u0131klar\u0131n aras\u0131na gidece\u011fiz \u00f6yle mi?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEvet. Ama daha da a\u015fa\u011f\u0131ya devam edece\u011fiz. Sekiz ayakl\u0131 yarat\u0131klar o m\u00fccevherleri nereye g\u00f6t\u00fcr\u00fcyorlarsa oray\u0131 bulaca\u011f\u0131z ve \u00e7antalar\u0131m\u0131z\u0131 doldurup ka\u00e7aca\u011f\u0131z.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mishar \u00e7enesini s\u0131vazlayarak, \u201cPeki, biz g\u00f6r\u00fcnmez olaca\u011f\u0131z, ya e\u015fyalar\u0131m\u0131z?\u201d diye sordu.<\/p>\n

Oruvan, \u201cPeki, g\u00f6r\u00fcnmezli\u011fimiz ge\u00e7ti\u011finde ne yapaca\u011f\u0131z?\u201d diye sordu.<\/p>\n

\u201cYa s\u0131v\u0131 biterse.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKorkma Oruvan. Yetecek.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bu sefer Mishar sordu. \u201cPeki, birbirimizi nas\u0131l g\u00f6rece\u011fiz?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u0130pleri bu y\u00fczden yan\u0131m\u0131za al\u0131yoruz. \u0130plerle birbirimize ba\u011flanaca\u011f\u0131z. Ben \u00f6n\u00fc \u00e7ekece\u011fim, siz de beni takip edeceksiniz.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mishar endi\u015feyle ka\u015flar\u0131n\u0131 \u00e7atm\u0131\u015ft\u0131. \u201cBu kadar kolay olmas\u0131 hi\u00e7 ho\u015fuma gitmedi.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pencereye bakan Bruz, \u201cAma kolay,\u201d dedi. \u201cArt\u0131k d\u0131\u015far\u0131 \u00e7\u0131kal\u0131m hava kararm\u0131\u015f.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oruvan korkuyla pencereye bak\u0131p, \u201cGer\u00e7ekten mi?\u201d diye inledi. Buna haz\u0131r de\u011fildi.<\/p>\n

\u00c7antalar\u0131n\u0131 s\u0131rtlar\u0131na ald\u0131lar. Bruz sanki sabah i\u015fe gidiyormu\u015f\u00e7as\u0131na bir rahatl\u0131kla d\u0131\u015far\u0131 \u00e7\u0131kt\u0131. Oruvan ad\u0131m\u0131n\u0131 kap\u0131 e\u015fi\u011finden d\u0131\u015far\u0131 atmadan \u00f6nce uzun s\u00fcre g\u00f6ky\u00fcz\u00fcne bakt\u0131. Ak\u015fam\u0131n kendine has serinli\u011fini ilk kez hissediyordu. Mishar onu d\u0131\u015far\u0131 itmeseydi \u00e7\u0131kaca\u011f\u0131 da yoktu. En son Mishar da d\u0131\u015far\u0131 \u00e7\u0131k\u0131nca \u00fc\u00e7 arkada\u015f ya\u011fmurda kalm\u0131\u015f k\u00f6pek yavrular\u0131 gibi birbirlerine sokuldular. En az\u0131ndan birisi ayn\u0131 onlar gibi titriyordu.<\/p>\n

Belki bir y\u0131l ge\u00e7mi\u015fti, belki bir an. Sonunda g\u00f6ky\u00fcz\u00fcnde kanat sesleri duyuldu. Oruvan etraf\u0131n\u0131 ayd\u0131nlatt\u0131\u011f\u0131 i\u00e7in ay \u0131\u015f\u0131\u011f\u0131na dua etmek amac\u0131yla kafas\u0131n\u0131 kald\u0131rd\u0131\u011f\u0131na pi\u015fman oldu. Ay\u0131n \u00f6n\u00fcndeki \u00fc\u00e7 Gamuth\u2019un siluetini g\u00f6r\u00fcnce ka\u00e7may\u0131 \u00e7ok istedi ama arkada\u015flar\u0131n\u0131 b\u0131rakamad\u0131.<\/p>\n

Mishar elini belindeki han\u00e7erin \u00fcst\u00fcne koydu\u011funun fark\u0131nda de\u011fildi. \u00dc\u00e7 korkun\u00e7 yarat\u0131k u\u00e7arken kanatlar\u0131n\u0131 her a\u00e7t\u0131klar\u0131nda, ayn\u0131 g\u00f6r\u00fcnt\u00fcye bakm\u0131\u015f olan annesinin de ne kadar korkmu\u015f olabilece\u011fini d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fcyordu.<\/p>\n

Bruz g\u00f6ky\u00fcz\u00fcne bile bakm\u0131yordu. Durmu\u015f, olacaklar\u0131 bekliyordu.<\/p>\n

Gamuthlar neredeyse h\u0131z kesmeden al\u00e7ald\u0131lar. \u00d6nce, kanatlar\u0131n yaratt\u0131\u011f\u0131 r\u00fczg\u00e2r\u0131n alt\u0131nda, yerden kalkan tozun i\u00e7inde kald\u0131lar, sonra omuzlar\u0131ndan tutan pen\u00e7elerin so\u011fuk dokunu\u015flar\u0131yla irkildiler. Gamuthlar b\u00fcy\u00fck pen\u00e7eleriyle onlar\u0131 kavram\u0131\u015flard\u0131 ama t\u0131rnaklar\u0131n\u0131 bat\u0131rm\u0131yorlard\u0131. Yarat\u0131klar\u0131n h\u0131z\u0131yla, r\u00fczg\u00e2ra tutulmu\u015f bir dal gibi sallanarak havaland\u0131lar. Havada olmak, i\u00e7lerindeki bir bo\u015flu\u011fun anlams\u0131zca hareket etmesine sebep olmu\u015ftu. Oruvan bu hisse daha fazla dayanamay\u0131p kustu.<\/p>\n

\u00dc\u00e7\u00fc de \u00e7ocukluklar\u0131ndan beri anlat\u0131lan korkun\u00e7 hik\u00e2yelerden birinin ba\u015frol\u00fcndeydiler art\u0131k. Gamuthlar, Bruz\u2019un s\u00f6yledi\u011fi gibi mezarl\u0131\u011f\u0131n \u00fcst\u00fcnde u\u00e7arken ortada olan Mishar arkada\u015flar\u0131n\u0131 g\u00f6rmeye \u00e7al\u0131\u015ft\u0131. Oruvan korku dolu g\u00f6zlerle alt\u0131ndaki mezarl\u0131\u011fa bakarken ba\u015f\u0131n\u0131 kald\u0131rd\u0131. Mishar arkada\u015f\u0131n\u0131n g\u00f6zlerinde ya\u015fad\u0131\u011f\u0131 derin pi\u015fmanl\u0131\u011f\u0131 g\u00f6rebiliyordu. \u00d6ndeki Bruz ise u\u00e7u\u015fun etkisiyle bir o yana bir bu yana sallan\u0131yordu.<\/p>\n

Mozolenin kendili\u011finden a\u00e7\u0131lan kap\u0131s\u0131ndan ge\u00e7tiklerinde Oruvan, \u201cHay\u0131r!\u201d diye ba\u011f\u0131rd\u0131. Bu karanl\u0131k t\u00fcnelde u\u00e7arken hissettikleri korkunun yan\u0131nda, oraya varana kadar ya\u015fad\u0131klar\u0131 korkunun laf\u0131 bile edilemezdi. Sonunda Gamuthlar onlar\u0131 zifiri karanl\u0131k bir yerde b\u0131rak\u0131p tahminen \u015fehre geri u\u00e7tular. \u0130\u00e7erisi havas\u0131zd\u0131. Burunlar\u0131 a\u011f\u0131r k\u00fcf kokusuyla beraber gelen ve tan\u0131mlayamad\u0131klar\u0131 ba\u015fka kokulardan rahats\u0131z oldu. Ayaklar\u0131 yere de\u011fdi\u011fi anda karanl\u0131\u011f\u0131n i\u00e7inden s\u00fcr\u00fcnmeye benzer tuhaf bir ses duydular. Bruz\u2019un bahsetti\u011fi yarat\u0131k s\u00fcr\u00fcnerek onlara do\u011fru geliyor olmal\u0131yd\u0131. Oruvan bu sesi duyunca annesinin pi\u015firdi\u011fi s\u00fctl\u00fc tatl\u0131lar\u0131n fokurdad\u0131\u011f\u0131 an\u0131 d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnd\u00fc.<\/p>\n

Bruz, \u201cMe\u015faleleri yak\u0131n hemen,\u201d diye f\u0131s\u0131ldad\u0131.<\/p>\n

Kav\u0131 \u00e7akt\u0131\u011f\u0131 anda burnunun dibindeki kocaman yarat\u0131\u011f\u0131 g\u00f6r\u00fcnce korkuyla gerileyip s\u0131rt \u00fcst\u00fc yere d\u00fc\u015ft\u00fc.

Mishar, yarat\u0131\u011f\u0131n me\u015fale \u0131\u015f\u0131\u011f\u0131 y\u00fcz\u00fcnden art\u0131k g\u00f6remedi\u011fini ve Bruz\u2019un sesle onu kendi \u00fcst\u00fcne \u00e7ekmeye \u00e7al\u0131\u015ft\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 fark etti.<\/p>\n

S\u0131rt\u0131n\u0131 duvara veren Bruz, yarat\u0131\u011f\u0131n \u00f6n\u00fcnden arkas\u0131na, arkada\u015flar\u0131n\u0131n yan\u0131na ge\u00e7ti. Onlar da me\u015falelerini yakmay\u0131 ba\u015farm\u0131\u015flard\u0131.<\/p>\n

Oruvan y\u00fcz\u00fcn\u00fc tiksintiyle buru\u015fturarak, \u201cBu ne bi\u00e7im bir yarat\u0131k b\u00f6yle,\u201d dedi.<\/p>\n

Hepsi t\u00fcnele girince Bruz birden durdu.

Herkes s\u0131v\u0131dan birer yudum i\u00e7ince Bruz \u015fi\u015feyi tekrar cebine koydu. \u201cEvet, \u015fimdi biraz bekleyin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biraz sonra Mishar gittik\u00e7e saydamla\u015fan ellerini g\u00f6stererek, \u201cBak\u0131n,\u201d dedi. T\u00fcneli ayd\u0131nlatmaya yetmeyen o lo\u015f, k\u0131rm\u0131z\u0131 \u0131\u015f\u0131k art\u0131k ellerinin i\u00e7inden ge\u00e7iyordu<\/p>\n

Oruvan nereye bakaca\u011f\u0131n\u0131 \u015fa\u015f\u0131rm\u0131\u015ft\u0131. Gittik\u00e7e g\u00f6zden kaybolan Mishar\u2019\u0131 m\u0131 yoksa kendi ellerini mi izlemek daha ilgin\u00e7ti? En son aralar\u0131nda uzayan ipler de g\u00f6r\u00fcnmez olunca Bruz t\u00fcnelde a\u015fa\u011f\u0131ya do\u011fru y\u00fcr\u00fcmeye ba\u015flad\u0131.

Mishar, buradan \u00e7\u0131kmay\u0131 ba\u015farabilseler bile bu seslerin ak\u0131llar\u0131ndan kolay kolay silinmeyece\u011fini biliyordu. S\u0131rf bu sesler y\u00fcz\u00fcnden bile o, art\u0131k eski Mishar olamayacakt\u0131.

T\u00fcnel geni\u015f bir alana a\u00e7\u0131l\u0131yordu.

Bunun girdikleri ilk t\u00fcnelden fark\u0131, uzay\u0131p giden her iki duvar\u0131nda da belirli aral\u0131klarla yanan me\u015faleler olmas\u0131yd\u0131. \u00c7ok fazla yol almam\u0131\u015flard\u0131 ki t\u00fcnelin, dibi g\u00f6r\u00fcnmeyen karanl\u0131k bir \u00e7ukurla kesildi\u011fini fark ettiler. \u00c7ukurun di\u011fer taraf\u0131nda dik \u015fekilde duran ah\u015fap bir k\u00f6pr\u00fc vard\u0131.<\/p>\n

Oruvan, \u201c\u015eimdi ne yapaca\u011f\u0131z?\u201d diye sordu. \u201cBu \u00e7ukuru nas\u0131l ge\u00e7ece\u011fiz?\u201d<\/p>\n

Bruz, \u201cDuvara yaslan\u0131p bekleyelim,\u201d diye \u00f6neride bulundu. \u201cBakal\u0131m gelecek olan araba \u00e7ukuru nas\u0131l ge\u00e7iyor?\u201d<\/p>\n

Biraz sonra gelen araban\u0131n g\u0131c\u0131rt\u0131s\u0131n\u0131 duydular. Belki de bir zamanlar tan\u0131d\u0131klar\u0131 biri olan sekiz kollu yarat\u0131\u011f\u0131n sipsivri di\u015flerinden ve mavimsi t\u00fcylerinden daha fazla rahats\u0131z eden tek \u015fey, her kolunda normal insan elleri olmas\u0131yd\u0131.

Oruvan i\u00e7inde bulundu\u011fu yeri ve durumu \u00f6nemsemeden Tanr\u0131\u00e7a\u2019ya dua ediyordu. \u00dcstlerine atlasa her hangi birini rahatl\u0131kla devirebilecek boyutlardaki \u00f6r\u00fcmcek, \u00e7ukurun \u00f6n\u00fcnde durdu. \u00d6nce \u00f6ndeki iki kolunu seri bir \u015fekilde kullanarak ko\u015fumlardan kurtuldu. Sonra t\u00fcnelin tavan\u0131na t\u0131rmanarak \u00e7ukurun \u00fcst\u00fcnden kar\u015f\u0131ya ge\u00e7ti.

Araban\u0131n yeteri kadar uzakla\u015ft\u0131\u011f\u0131na karar veren Oruvan, \u201cEvet araban\u0131n nas\u0131l ge\u00e7ti\u011fini g\u00f6rd\u00fck,\u201d dedi. \u201cBir daha soruyorum, biz nas\u0131l ge\u00e7ece\u011fiz?\u201d<\/p>\n

Oruvan, Mishar\u2019\u0131n yerinde olmad\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 bir anda fark edince panikle, \u201cBurada de\u011fil. Gitmi\u015f,\u201d diye f\u0131s\u0131ldad\u0131.<\/p>\n

\u201cNas\u0131l? Nereye gitmi\u015f?\u201d<\/p>\n

Mishar \u00e7oktan as\u0131ld\u0131\u011f\u0131 k\u00f6pr\u00fcden inmi\u015fti. Mekanizmay\u0131 \u00e7al\u0131\u015ft\u0131ran topra\u011fa g\u00f6m\u00fcl\u00fc kolu itip, \u201cBuraday\u0131m,\u201d dedi.<\/p>\n

Bruz, Mishar\u2019\u0131n \u00e7ukurun \u00f6teki taraf\u0131nda oldu\u011funu anlay\u0131nca, \u201cKalkarken k\u00f6pr\u00fcye mi atlad\u0131n Mishar?\u201d diye sordu.<\/p>\n

Mishar o zaman ileriden gelen grubu g\u00f6rebildi. Duvara yaslanarak sessizce grubun ge\u00e7ip gitmesini beklediler.

Oruvan \u00e7aresizce, \u201cNeraidth,\u201d diye inledi. T\u00fcm hayat\u0131 boyunca Tanr\u0131\u00e7a Nera\u2019n\u0131n kutsanm\u0131\u015f\u0131n\u0131 duymu\u015ftu.

Oruvan yine de biliyordu. Onlara do\u011fru s\u00fcz\u00fclenin bir Mehetilinin g\u00f6rebilece\u011fi en b\u00fcy\u00fck k\u00e2bus oldu\u011funu biliyordu. Mishar onu kolundan \u00e7ekmeseydi b\u00fcy\u00fck bir ihtimalle bir daha yerinden k\u0131p\u0131rdayamayacakt\u0131. Koluna yap\u0131\u015fan arkada\u015f\u0131 onu \u00e7ekip \u00f6nlerindeki yakut dolu kutunun \u00f6n\u00fcnde yere \u00e7\u00f6meltti.

Bu yapt\u0131klar\u0131 ahmak\u00e7a bir hareket olabilirdi ama sonu\u00e7ta \u00e7ocukken korktu\u011fu gecelerde yorgan\u0131 kafas\u0131na \u00e7ekmek de ahmak\u00e7ayd\u0131.<\/p>\n

Mishar birden hem Oruvan\u2019\u0131 hem de Bruz\u2019u g\u00f6rmeye ba\u015flad\u0131. Ellerine bakt\u0131\u011f\u0131nda art\u0131k kendisinin de g\u00f6r\u00fcn\u00fcr oldu\u011funu anlad\u0131.<\/p>\n

\u00c7\u00f6kt\u00fckleri yerden ellerini kollar\u0131n\u0131 sallayarak, elinde me\u015faleyle Neraidth\u2019e bakakalm\u0131\u015f Bruz\u2019un dikkatini \u00e7ekmeye \u00e7al\u0131\u015f\u0131yorlard\u0131. Bruz\u2019un g\u00f6zlerinde daha \u00f6nce g\u00f6rmedikleri bo\u015f bir bak\u0131\u015f vard\u0131. Ne de olsa onun bir \u015feyden korktu\u011funu hi\u00e7 g\u00f6rmemi\u015flerdi.<\/p>\n

Mishar panikle f\u0131s\u0131ldayarak, \u201cBruz,\u201d dedi.<\/p>\n

Bruz g\u00f6zlerini yakla\u015fmakta olan Neraidth\u2019den arkada\u015flar\u0131na \u00e7evirdi. Y\u00fcz\u00fcnde en ufak bir tepki yoktu.<\/p>\n

Oruvan g\u00f6zlerini onlardan ay\u0131rmadan, \u201cNeler oluyor?\u201d diye s\u00f6ylendi<\/p>\n

Neraidth, Bruz\u2019un yan\u0131nda, a\u011f\u0131r a\u011f\u0131r onlara do\u011fru d\u00f6nerken iki arkada\u015f olduklar\u0131 yerde iyice sinmi\u015flerdi.

Neraidth insan\u0131n kan\u0131n\u0131 donduran sesiyle konu\u015ftu. \u201cSizi Tanr\u0131\u00e7a\u2019n\u0131n yeni yarat\u0131\u011f\u0131yla tan\u0131\u015ft\u0131ray\u0131m.\u201d Kemikli parma\u011f\u0131yla Bruz\u2019u g\u00f6steriyordu. \u201cBu ba\u015f \u015faheserime Venalipper ismini verdim.

Ama art\u0131k Venalipperim sayesinde beni g\u00f6rmezden gelemeyecek.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mishar ve Oruvan duyduklar\u0131n\u0131 anlam\u0131yorlard\u0131.<\/p>\n

\u201cBu \u00f6zel yarat\u0131\u011f\u0131 yaratmaya \u00e7ok uzun y\u0131llar \u00f6nce karar vermi\u015ftim. Ama ilk denememin \u00e7ok \u00f6zel bir insanla olmas\u0131n\u0131 istiyordum.

Bruz arkada\u015flar\u0131na ailesini kaybetti\u011fi g\u00fcnden bile \u00fczg\u00fcn g\u00f6zlerle bak\u0131yordu. \u00d6nce, \u201c\u00dczg\u00fcn\u00fcm,\u201d dedi.
