Zasm\u00e1l se. C\u00edtil jejich p\u0159\u00edtomnost, vn\u00edmal jejich radost z tak n\u00e1dhern\u011b melancholick\u00e9ho podve\u010dera. V podobn\u00e9m po\u010das\u00ed b\u00fdvali v\u017edycky nejsiln\u011bj\u0161\u00ed, nejodv\u00e1\u017en\u011bj\u0161\u00ed a nejupov\u00eddan\u011bj\u0161\u00ed. Jemn\u011b se mu vkr\u00e1dali do mysli a zanech\u00e1vali v jeho hlav\u011b ozv\u011bny star\u00fdch p\u0159\u00edb\u011bh\u016f z dob, kdy je lid\u00e9 dok\u00e1zali vn\u00edmat t\u00e9m\u011b\u0159 v\u0161ichni, kdy spolu rozmlouvali a navz\u00e1jem se ctili.

Sly\u0161el hrdinsk\u00e9 zp\u011bvy v nezn\u00e1m\u00fdch jazyc\u00edch, bezprost\u0159edn\u00ed d\u00edv\u010d\u00ed sm\u00edch, cinkot zlat\u00fdch minc\u00ed, bekot ob\u011btovan\u00e9 ovce a v\u00edtr ve v\u011btv\u00edch strom\u016f, t\u00e9m\u011b\u0159 stejn\u00fd jako dnes, po mnoha stalet\u00edch, a p\u0159esto jaksi jin\u00fd, magi\u010dt\u011bj\u0161\u00ed a mocn\u011bj\u0161\u00ed. Znovu se zasm\u00e1l, te\u010f u\u017e trochu posmutn\u011ble. Bylo mu tu s nimi dob\u0159e. Ale musel je opustit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jejich existenci si poprv\u00e9 uv\u011bdomil, kdy\u017e mu bylo dvan\u00e1ct let. P\u0159i jedn\u00e9 ze sv\u00fdch \u010dast\u00fdch potulek po lese zabloudil a\u017e do opu\u0161t\u011bn\u00e9ho \u00fadol\u00ed\u010dka, sp\u00ed\u0161e roklinky, utopen\u00e9 hluboko pod korunami v\u011bkovit\u00fdch mod\u0159\u00edn\u016f. P\u0159esto, \u017ee se schylovalo k ve\u010deru, p\u0159estal se n\u00e1hle b\u00e1t \u2013 a vstoupil do \u00fadol\u00ed s klidn\u00fdm, otev\u0159en\u00fdm v\u011bdom\u00edm. V\u011bd\u011bl, \u017ee mu nic nehroz\u00ed. Kde na tu my\u0161lenku p\u0159i\u0161el, to ov\u0161em netu\u0161il \u2013 prost\u011b to c\u00edtil. M\u011bl dojem, \u017ee \u00fadol\u00ed\u010dko, do kter\u00e9ho spadal vodop\u00e1dem lesn\u00ed potok a vytv\u00e1\u0159el v n\u011bm mal\u00e9 jez\u00edrko, na jeho\u017e b\u0159ehu rostla prastar\u00e1 vykotlan\u00e1 vrba, tedy \u017ee toto \u00fadol\u00ed\u010dko je obydleno jak\u00fdmisi p\u0159\u00e1telsk\u00fdmi bytostmi. Byly neviditeln\u00e9, beztvar\u00e9 a \u00fapln\u011b jin\u00e9 ne\u017e on \u2013 ale p\u0159esto byly p\u0159\u00e1telsk\u00e9, vesel\u00e9 a \u0161ibalsk\u00e9. Posadil se na kameny na b\u0159ehu jez\u00edrka, obrostl\u00e9 chladiv\u00fdm zelen\u00fdm mechem a nechal se ukol\u00e9bat jejich nesly\u0161n\u00fdmi hlasy k sp\u00e1nku. Celou noc na n\u011bj d\u00e1vali pozor, r\u00e1no ho probudili do sv\u011b\u017e\u00edho jitra a poradili mu cestu. Dom\u016f do\u0161el za necel\u00e9 dv\u011b hodiny ch\u016fze. Na\u0161el tam na smrt vyd\u011b\u0161en\u00e9 rodi\u010de, rozmlouvaj\u00edc\u00ed s policistou o jeho zmizen\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u011bjakou dobu nato se v \u00fadol\u00ed\u010dku neuk\u00e1zal, prost\u011b nikam nesm\u011bl. Ale pak \u2013 vr\u00e1til se. P\u0159iv\u00edtali ho rozpustil\u00fdm rejem such\u00e9ho jehli\u010d\u00ed, poletuj\u00edc\u00edho ve v\u011btru. Tehdy si s nimi za\u010dal pov\u00eddat a vym\u011b\u0148ovat my\u0161lenky a pocity \u2013 a c\u00edtil, \u017ee ho ch\u00e1pou. B\u011bhem \u010dasu za\u010dal ch\u00e1pat i on je. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u017dili tam t\u00e9m\u011b\u0159 tis\u00edc let a byli sou\u010d\u00e1st\u00ed \u00fadol\u00ed. M\u011bli schopnost nen\u00e1padn\u011b vch\u00e1zet do lidsk\u00fdch mysl\u00ed, rozpoznat dobr\u00e1ka od n\u00e1siln\u00edka a podle toho i jednat. Dobr\u00fdm lidem p\u0159ed\u00e1vali pocit pohody, klidu a bezpe\u010d\u00ed, zl\u00fdm a nebezpe\u010dn\u00fdm zasili do mozku p\u0159edstavu strachu a nebezpe\u010d\u00ed. Dob\u0159\u00ed pak z\u016fst\u00e1vali, zl\u00ed prchali a sna\u017eili se zapomenout na gul\u00e1\u0161 nep\u0159\u00edjemn\u00fdch my\u0161lenek, kter\u00fd se jim jak\u00fdmsi z\u00e1hadn\u00fdm zp\u016fsobem vytvo\u0159il v hlav\u011b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On byl podle nich dobr\u00fd \u2013 a byl, shodou okolnost\u00ed, po dlouh\u00e9 dob\u011b prvn\u00edm \u010dlov\u011bkem, kter\u00e9ho potkali. M\u011bli z n\u011bho radost a hned si ho obl\u00edbili \u2013 a stejn\u011b tak i on je. Chodil za nimi, vypr\u00e1v\u011bl jim o strastech \u017eivota v nyn\u011bj\u0161\u00edm sv\u011bt\u011b a oni mu na opl\u00e1tku p\u0159ed\u00e1vali pocity, n\u00e1lady a \u00fatr\u017eky rozhovor\u016f \u010di obraz\u016f z let d\u00e1vno minul\u00fdch. Tak se navz\u00e1jem dopl\u0148ovali a \u017eili pro sebe \u2013 on pro n\u011b a oni pro n\u011bj.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ob\u010das uvol\u0148oval koryto pot\u016f\u010dku od n\u00e1nosu v\u011btv\u00ed a bahna, aby tekl st\u00e1le stejn\u011b rychle a hlavn\u011b, aby si nezvolil jin\u00e9 koryto, nebo\u0165 oni byli n\u011bjak\u00fdm zvl\u00e1\u0161tn\u00edm zp\u016fsobem v\u00e1z\u00e1ni na jeho vodu a nedok\u00e1zali by bez n\u00ed existovat. Dob\u0159e jim d\u011blala i voda padaj\u00edc\u00ed z nebe, ale nebyla pro n\u011b tak d\u016fle\u017eit\u00e1 jako potok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A\u010d bylo v \u00fadol\u00ed st\u00e1le vlhko a chladno, str\u00e1vil zde mnoho noc\u00ed, ani\u017e by se nachladil \u2013 p\u0159i\u010d\u00edtal to jejich vlivu. Koho si obl\u00edbili, toho ochra\u0148ovali. A p\u0159ece byli tak k\u0159ehc\u00ed \u2013 kter\u00fdkoliv primitiv by jim dok\u00e1zal svou hrubou mysl\u00ed o\u0161kliv\u011b ubl\u00ed\u017eit. Ot\u0159\u00e1sl se p\u0159i t\u00e9 my\u0161lence a zapudil ji. Naposledy se rozhl\u00e9dl \u2013 u\u017e mus\u00ed j\u00edt. Po p\u016flnoci mu jede vlak do vzd\u00e1len\u00e9ho m\u011bsta, kde bude od nyn\u011bj\u0161ka bydlet a on je\u0161t\u011b mus\u00ed zabalit p\u00e1r v\u011bc\u00ed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slzy mu vhrkly do o\u010d\u00ed, kdy\u017e si uv\u011bdomil, jak jsou smutn\u00ed. Kdo te\u010f za nimi bude chodit a pov\u00eddat si s nimi? Koho budou ochra\u0148ovat, pro koho budou \u017e\u00edt?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201ePromi\u0148te, promi\u0148te mi to, pros\u00edm v\u00e1s,\u201c vzlykl, \u201ejinak to nejde! Ale j\u00e1 se vr\u00e1t\u00edm!\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nevydr\u017eel to a utekl. V dlani sv\u00edral mal\u00fd kam\u00ednek, vyloven\u00fd ze dna pot\u016f\u010dku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ve vzd\u00e1len\u00e9m m\u011bst\u011b ho zavalilo tolik nov\u00fdch dojm\u016f a z\u00e1\u017eitk\u016f, \u017ee si na n\u011b dlouho, dlouho v\u016fbec nevzpomn\u011bl. Ano, vr\u00e1til se, jak sl\u00edbil \u2013 ale a\u017e za dlouh\u00fdch deset let, pot\u00e9, co n\u00e1hodou vy\u0161trachal ve star\u00fdch kr\u00e1mech onen kam\u00ednek. S ho\u0159k\u00fdm pocitem vlastn\u00ed zrady p\u0159ijel zp\u011bt do kraje sv\u00e9ho d\u011btstv\u00ed a ml\u00e1d\u00ed \u2013 a pochopil, \u017ee p\u0159ijel p\u0159\u00edli\u0161 pozd\u011b. Stv\u016fra zvan\u00e1 pr\u016fmysl hamtla okovanou botou do tv\u00e1\u0159e jeho lesa a zanechala po sob\u011b stra\u0161nou spou\u0161\u0165. Takhle n\u011bjak to vypad\u00e1 na M\u011bs\u00edci, pomyslel si. Pusto, pr\u00e1zdno a mrtvo. Ani n\u00e1znak sp\u0159\u00edzn\u011bn\u00fdch mysl\u00ed, kter\u00e9 tu kdysi voln\u011b \u017eily\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A\u010d v\u011bd\u011bl, \u017ee je to marn\u00e9, vyhledal m\u00edsto sv\u00fdch n\u011bkdej\u0161\u00edch setk\u00e1n\u00ed s nimi. A \u2013 narazil na tov\u00e1rnu, pevn\u011b rozkro\u010denou nad \u00fadol\u00edm a velkou \u010d\u00e1st\u00ed okol\u00ed. Potok zmizel kdesi v betonov\u00e9m potrub\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pevn\u011b stiskl kam\u00ednek v pravici. M\u011bl z\u016fstat. T\u0159eba by je mohl zachr\u00e1nit. A i kdyby ne, m\u011bl se o to alespo\u0148 pokusit. Oni by to pro n\u011bj ud\u011blali bez rozm\u00fd\u0161len\u00ed, t\u00edm si byl jist. Osobn\u00ed prosp\u011bch nikdy nesledovali na prvn\u00edm m\u00edst\u011b\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pomalu odch\u00e1zel pry\u010d a doufal. T\u0159eba ode\u0161li. T\u0159eba se zachr\u00e1nili a \u017eij\u00ed n\u011bkde jinde. Snad. Tolik by jim to p\u0159\u00e1l\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
