From the author. Chief Inspector Ri'onja stood in the gallery between the training hall and the garden in the center of the stronghold where the Universe Inspectors were stationed. He was waiting for Ka'arti, the best employee in his organization. In the distance they heard the steps of the Ri once turned around. A pretty girl was walking towards him, but her well-trained body said that this was not just a "pretty lady-in-waiting at Court", but it did not spoil her at all. She was dressed in standard keramitnuyu armor Inspectors, on belt hung a mechano-magic sword and dagger, on breast burned red a badge of the Universe and crowned all of this-an unusual hairstyle, consisting of colorful "dreadlocks", Ri'onja not was sure was whether this the latest "peep fashion" or another a talisman from any creatures far-world. - Good to see you As Arti - smiling good-naturedly said Ri of onja. "Good afternoon, Chief Inspector, sir," she said clearly and loudly. The manner and tone of her communication was never soft or good-natured, most of all it was like "slashing blows of her sword", with the only difference that instead of the sword were words, apparently affected communication with all sorts of garbage in different worlds. = I have a new task for you ."we have received information from informants that strange 'artifacts' have begun to appear in the Universe ... And yesterday two Inspectors were killed while trying to detain an intruder ... "Harr," Ka'arti croaked in a guttural voice, always treating her fellow officers with a certain arrogance, considering them too "soft" and" law-abiding " in the service. She preferred to "hit" first and "ask"later. Ri of once pretended that did not notice her contemptuous "comment" and continued... - Your task is to find out everything you can ... from where ? Where? Who! and when ? and preferably without violating the rights of citizens-he looked reproachfully. The informants say that everything revolves around market Noir Ri of once scratched his chin "I think you should start there ," he said. "All clear, sir! Can I go ? "no," she said dryly . "Go!" said Ri of once and saluted. Ka'arti responded by pressing her hand to the Inspector's sign and walking. She thought, "if it's about smuggling and the Noir market, you should go to the shop of this slippery type of Boba Suleiman" ... The store was located on the edge of the market, away from the main shopping malls. It was already evening when Ka'arti reached her ... Ka'arti kicked open the door to the shop, and the bell over the door almost tore off, ringing as if for the last time .. Behind the counter stood the owner himself-Boba Suleiman, a little further away stood an elf, his assistant, in appearance she was about 15, but who knows how old she really is, these eared Immortals look the same at 15 years and 15 hundred years, magic allowed them to maintain any appearance throughout their lives. - BOBA ! I have a few questions for you, " Ka'arti snapped .... On work I changed the concept several times and couldn't even choose the final color palette, so there is an option in the "stages" in a different color solution. I wanted to create a picture (illustration) that will be interesting to look at, so I tried to fill it with details as much as possible. For the attentive: try to find Inspector Ka'arti's familiar, I'll give you a hint, it's yellow and has wings =))
