1.Mother Keeper: You are a frequent visitor at our place. I can't say I am glad to see you.
2.Devotress: Why?
3.Mother Keeper: You bring us only misfortune!
4.Devotress: You should be patient, mother... So is the fate.
4.Devotress: And I thought - vice versa
1.Mother Keeper: What news did you take from the exterior city?
2.Devotress: Let me go, Taya, to Abattoir. Let your butchers get me through.
3.Mother Keeper: Tell me an interesting tale - I'll let you go. I warn you - it's not easy to satisfy me.
4.Devotress: Why so?
5.Mother Keeper: I know all the tales. I have heard everything many times. I am sick and tired. Since I left the Tower it has been only Spichka that could soothe me.
6.Devotress: How? Did he composed a tale?
7.Mother Keeper: Who composes tales? What are you speaking? Tales are not to be composed. A composed tale is not a tale, it's a fish story. They are seen at the first glance. No, Spichka was the last to bring me a good storyteller. Right before the plague started. We were locked in that very night...
8.Devotress: Let's see what we can invent.
2.Devotress: With bad news, Taya.
2.Devotress: I have a tale for you.
3.Mother Keeper: Well, I'm all ears.
4.Devotress: I will do everything cunningly. Let me tell you a guess-tale. Is it really interesting for you who is to blame for all that has happened to you?
5.Mother Keeper: Really? Very much!
6.Devotress: Listen to me attentively - there is an answer to the question in my tale. You guess - well done.
7.Mother Keeper: Oh, speak, please!
8.Devotress: I'll tell you a tale how single-eye, single-hand and single-leg Night Daughter counted her flocks.
9.Mother Keeper: It's a horrible tale! I don't want.
10.Devotress: As you wish...
10.Devotress: There is an answer in it, Mother...
11.Mother Keeper: Ok. Speak.
12.Devotress: [...]
13.Mother Keeper: Cool. And continuation?
14.Devotress: The rest - when I am back from Abattoir. It's within your field of interest to prompt me how to fight with the Elder.
15.Mother Keeper: There is no sense in fighting with him. Still, I'll give you a good piece of advice. He is greatly concerned with the appearance of Young Burakh. He may let you go alive if you can interest him as much as me. Go through the Gates of Labor. It's between our corpses.
16.Devotress: Thank you, little Taya.
8.Devotress: I'll tell you a tale about a poor orphan and underwater producers.
9.Mother Keeper: I've heard it a thousand times! Leave me, I don't want your tales.
10.Devotress: Pah! Listen to another one.
11.Mother Keeper: Go away! I'll call butchers! Hey, you, bu...
12.Devotress: Be quiet! I'm leaving.
8.Devotress: Once in the night, Taya woke up and
9.Mother Keeper: It's your invention. I don't want to listen.
10.Devotress: Why do you think so?
11.Mother Keeper: Go away! I'll call butchers now! Hey...
12.Devotress: Keep quiet! I am going away.
2.Devotress: With good news. Now, you have little ahead.
1.Mother Keeper: If it weren't for your care about me who will ever breath in life to our city again? I will have to do so many things in five or ten years... Thank you, thank you!
2.Devotress: You think this city is still able to recover its life?
3.Mother Keeper: Definitely. Of course, it won't be easy. But one always has to fight for life, otherwise it's not real. You can not tear off the umbilical cord, that has been feeding all of us since the time of world creation. It has already found death almost everywhere.
4.Devotress: Is it really worth the effort to do your best for the sake of such miserable place.
5.Mother Keeper: And what about my friends? I won't be able to do anything without them. Are they alive? Is it possible to visit them already?
6.Devotress: I don't know. I wanted to take care only about you.
6.Devotress: Not yet. My labor is not finished.
4.Devotress: Yes. At least it is still alive here. You still do remember what was your origin.
2.Devotress: Don't thank. I just suddenly felt pity for you.
2.Devotress: Live. Do what you should do.
1.Mother Keeper: Have you forgotten something? We've just talked about everything...
2.Devotress: I don't remember! When was it ? A while ago...
2.Devotress: Yes, I've just come back... and where can I look in the mirror?
