Klara, along with Denis and Tanya, went to rescue Kirume, the bird flew to the palace and they went after it on a three-seat flying vehicle.

The castle was huge, though it had almost been destroyed by the army, but even now it was still something to admire. Long columns towered into the sky, and anti-aircraft guns were working hard to shoot down bombers.

Our friends entered the palace amid the noise of shells, but without fear of anything, they went ahead to the throne room. Where the king of this planet himself was sitting (a strong and very intelligent bird with a golden crown and a white spot on his chest, this was his distinctive feature), he was not alone, but with a guard of 12 birds. Our heroes began to kill them mercilessly. Blood and chunks of meat were all over her gleaming knife. Klara killed the tsar by cutting his neck. They moved on. Finally, they found one of the hidden staircases of the palace (it was built into the wall, and it was necessary to turn a small statuette, which Denis accidentally turned when he slipped on something slippery). Tanya went down first, Klara second, and Denis covered them. There were torches everywhere on this staircase, so there must be someone here. They went down for a long time, and during this time Klara remembered his life. She remembered Dasha and Kira, and they bothered her. She didn’t know what lay ahead, but there would be life without these three beings lost somewhere in the universe on one of the planets. Clara knew that she wasn’t living in vain.
