109 Bends of the Rainbow
SK, DT 42. Магические Кристаллы (Wizard’s Glasses)3. Радуга Мэрлина (Maerlyn’s Rainbow)••“Wizard’s Rainbow is just a fairy-tale,” Cuthbert said, smiling in response to Steven’s smile. Then—perhaps it was something in Steven Deschain’s eyes—Cuthbert’s smile faltered. “Isn’t it?” / “Not all the old stories are true, but I think that of Maerlyn’s Rainbow is,” Steven replied. “It’s said that once there were thirteen glass balls in it—one for each of the Twelve Guardians, and one representing the nexus-point of the Beams.” — Магические Кристаллы – всего лишь сказка, – сказал Катберт, улыбаясь в ответ на улыбку Стивена. Потом он, видимо, уловил что-то во взгляде Стивена Дискейна, и улыбка его сникла. – Ведь так? / – Не все старинные истории достовены, но, думаю, Радуга Мэрлина не выдумка, – ответил Стивен. – Говорят, что когда-то она состояла из тринадцати кристаллов: по одному на каждого из Двенадцати Стражей, и ещё один, представляющий центральную точку, где сходятся Лучи. (ТБ 4)
“If the other balls in the Wizard’s Rainbow did exist, most are broken now. Such things never stay in one place or one pair of hands for long, you know, and even enchanted glass has a way of breaking. Yet at least three or four bends o’ the Rainbow may still be rolling around this sad world of ours. The blue, almost certainly. A desert tribe of slow mutants—the Total Hogs, they called themselves—had that one less than fifty years ago, although it’s slipped from sight again since. The green and the orange are reputed to be in Lud and Dis, respectively. And, just maybe, the pink one.” — Если остальные шары существовали, то большая их часть уже разбита. Они не задерживались надолго в одном месте и в одних руках, а разбиваются даже магические кристаллы. Однако три или четыре шара Радуги Мейрлина еще катятся по просторам нашего несчастного мира. Синий, это точно. Лет пятьдесят назад он принадлежал племени мутантов, кочующему по пустыне, они называют себя Горбуны, хотя с тех пор о нем ничего не слышно. Зеленый и оранжевый находятся соответственно в Ладе и Дизе. И, возможно, есть еще розовый. ( ТБ 4)
