the imprecation of wizards
young girl called Debra
had gazed to him. She had stood in a corner of courtyard of Gary's
house and at her face was shame. Gary had not a good feel and he
wasn't looking at Debra at all. After a while mother of Gary came
out of a room and she went toward Debra as was looking angrily to
Gary. She talked with Debra and kissed her and went toward Gary.
When she reached to him sat near him and said lowly, “What is your
problem with her?”
    Gary looked at his mother
and said, “Mother! I told you; I did not want to marry with
her.”
    Mother, “Why?! You refuse to
everyone! You are not young anymore. I want to see your
wedding.”
    Gary said sadly, “I don't
like anybody.”
    His mother slapped him and
said, “That girl died. You must forget her.”
    Gary looked her as few drop
of tears was coming down from his eyes. Gary got up sadly and he
opened the door of courtyard and went out with his motorcycle
without looking to Debra as she had become sad. Gary drove quickly
toward outside the village and he passed from the farmlands and
continued his way from the stony path which its color was black.
The path was very long and it was becoming far from the village and
around of it was green.
    After a while he reached to
a great Plain which was dry and at center of it was a great
cemetery. At around the cemetery was a great, metal fence and a lot
of small grave and a big, glorious, golden tomb were inside the
cemetery. At a corner of it was two storey, black house which had a
thin, small tower and the tower had a big, black bell, and at the
other side were two small rooms which were beside each other, all
told there was seeming dreadful and mysterious.
    Gary stopped near the pair
of imposing wrought-iron gate which two golden crowns were on it.
He dismounted from his motorcycle and pushed the gate and entered
the cemetery and he went toward the house from a black, stony path.
When he reached to the house knocked as was trying to show himself
normal. After a few moments the door opened by fifty-years-old
woman called Mojgan. Gary went a little back and said, “Everything
is ready for the ceremony.”
    Mojgan, “Ok. Now, go and
call the semi-mature hybrids.”
    Gary, “Yes my
Lady.”
    Gary went out of the
cemetery and went toward the hamlet. When he arrived to there, two
hybrids had sat on the ground like the animals. Their bodies were
like the mature hybrid at the human mood and color of body’s hair
one of them was red and another was black and they were the same
creatures that were at Mikhail’s dream. When they saw Gary, they
got up and stood on their legs. Gary stopped near them and said,
“Excellency Key Holder be healthy.”
    Black hybrid said with a
raucous voice, “Excellency Key Holder be healthy. What do you
want?”
    Gary, “You must go to the
village for the ceremony.”
    The hybrids ran very fast
toward the village and Gary went from another way. After a while
the hybrids reached to the village and they went toward the center
of village where people were in the plaza. The people were happy
and each of families had a basket full of the black stones. At the
center of plaza was a very big circle which had drawn with red
color and they were throwing respectively their stones inside it.
Each of families was throwing their stones together and it seemed
they had come to a marriage ceremony.
    At among the crowd only
Anahita was silent and sad. She had worn a beautiful dress but
unlike the other girls did not speaking with someone and she had
just gazed to the others. After a while all of them became quiet
when they saw Key Holder and they bowed. Key Holder with pride went
toward a big, decorated chair which was opposite the circle and sat
on it. The people raised their head and said, “Excellency Key
Holder be alive.”
    Key Holder raised his cane
until they became silent, then he said, “Today we want to punish
someone who had protested to my wish. Everybody should know that
they have to obey from me. I'm agent from
