I am Marina, a forty-year-old resident of the world—Earth. I lived, lived, and then got into trouble, or trouble got into me? A banal robbery: the flash of a knife blade—and I woke up in a temple.
There was no goddess there to explain everything to me. But there was a whole crowd, tailed and not quite. This crowd was singing something in a gloomy way, and one—especially important or especially quick—jumped up to me with a knife!
Again?! How many times can this happen?
I flared up with a bright light again and found myself, with my entire tail, in a snowdrift—and, judging by everything, in a new world.
