—Master, master! Hearing this alarming cry, the man winced and reluctantly turned away from the large wall mirror, which did not show his reflection at all.—Well, what else happened? “he muttered, turning to the servant. “Call on the second line,” he responded, holding out a hand mirror in a silver frame. The magician winced, but remained silent. You yourself taught the servant this nonsense, who is to blame now... - Mirror, mirror on the wall, tell me what they write to me today. The reflection instantly cleared up, showing rune writing in two columns. The words in one belonged to the magician, in the other - to his interlocutor, reading and writing the text in a completely different language and through a different means of communication. The last inscription read: “I was online 15 minutes ago.” The magician winced. Left and didn't answer? Or did she not interrupt the connection, but this computer of hers again considers that inactivity is equivalent to shutting down? Yes, this doesn’t happen with magic mirrors - you can break them for such tricks. Fortunately, magic allows you to glue everything back together as it was, but being scattered into fragments is not pleasant, so the mirrors try not to anger their owners. “How are you doing with that lady?” “Uh, I see you’re not in the mood,” the knight drawled. “What, you didn’t look at her?” “She doesn’t believe me,” he still said. - He thinks I'm joking. I say: “I am a black magician,” and she laughs. I say, I’ll fly for you on a dragon, and she replies that this is not the time for dragons. When will there be time? Looking at the text reflected in the magic glass, he smiled wryly. What is this strange world where they don’t believe in magic, but write about it, calling it “fantasy”? However, dragons are not mentioned in her novel... Nothing, sooner or later, one way or another, as one of the fantasy authors of her world wrote, the time for dragons will come!
