10 Rhea of the Cöos
сущ.; собст.; SK, DT 41. Риа2. Риа с Кооса3. Риа Дубативо ( полное имя; см Rhea Dubativo)Ведьма, жившая на холме Коос в нескольких милях от Хэмбри. Большие охотники за гробами передали ей на хранение важный предмет из имущества Джона Фарсона: Грейпфрут Мерлина. Используя возможности этого волшебного кристалла, Риа сумела повлиять на ход событий, приведший в конечном итоге к смерти Сюзан.см. тж Big Coffin Hunters, Maerlyn’s Grapefruit, Weirding of Cöos“Yer pallies and screw-buddies have taken my ball, ye ken,” Rhea said, clucking the pony to a stop a few paces ahead of the riders. Even Reynolds looked down on her with uneasiness. “Took my lovely glam, that’s what those bad boys did. Those bad, bad boys. But it showed me much while yet I had it, aye. It sees far, and in more ways than one. Much of it I’ve forgot… but not which way ye’d come, my sweeting. Not which way that precious old dead bitch laying yonder on the road would bring ye. And now ye must go to town.” Her grin widened, became something unspeakable. “It’s time for the fair, ye ken.” — Твои приятели и трахальщики унесли мой шар. – Риа остановила пони в двух шагах от Сюзан. Даже Рейнолдс смотрел на нее со страхом. – Взяли мой чудесный магический кристалл, вот что натворили эти гадкие мальчишки. Эти отвратительные головорезы. Но он успел мне многое показать. Он видит далеко, этот шар, и не только в настоящем. Многое я позабыла… но только не ту дорогу, которой ты хотела ускользнуть, конфетка моя. Не ту дорогу, на которую вывела тебя эта мертвая сука, которая лежит сейчас в пыли. А теперь ты должна вернуться в город. – Ухмылка Риа стала шире. – Самое время разжечь костер, знаешь ли. (ТБ 4)
