  CAN NOT BE!

  Suddenly I noticed that the darkness was no longer absolute. On the other side, ahead grew lighter. And then the darkness began to turn into twilight. A guess was born in me. Maybe I was in one of the layers of the Underworld? And this light was a rising sun. So, this world was a part of the planet. Its rotation continued. I was inside the earth and saw the sunrise in Hell. This was Hell, I had no doubt. And creature that pursued me did not look like an angel. But for what purpose I need them? Or was I just bait?

  Dusk became lighter, and I had found that straining, I could see a surface of the Earth. It was like that, as if I was at the bottom of the river and through the thickness of its waters watched something that was moving on its water surface. And this "something" was our earthly life, our world. My world, which I left, when flew away with Ryan. I took a closer look. There were people... a lot of people. It looked like a city. It seemed to me I saw the buildings. People walked along the streets. How could I get there? How could I get out of here?

  Okay, do not hurry. You can do it. You defeated the demon, you will be able to come up with something.

  I began to investigate this layer, hovering in it like a kite. Looking closer, I noticed that there was not as deserted as it seemed to me in the dark. Here and there flashed some silhouettes. I recognize in many of them amoebae, absorbing energy. Several times these figures moved to me, but approaching, retreated. Probably in me there was enough strength to cope with them, and they felt it.

  Also in this world I saw gnomes. They, like on the elevator, were coming down, but never up.

  And besides this I witnessed the rise from the bottom up, through this layer, some luminous figures. Who was it?

  And here seething life, but completely unfamiliar to me. Once, in the distance, I saw the light, but not ascending, and coming down. It melted beneath. I rushed to it, but did not have time.

  And then I saw a black creature. It was moving to me. I won once, but I did not want to get involved in another battle. So I with all possible speed distanced in the opposite direction. More and more I wanted to leave this world.

  To become invisible, I formed around me a mirror sphere - anyone who takes a look, would see what it like. Black monster did not stop - so the shield acted. The gnomes were passing through the world from top by transit. So nothing disturbed me more. And to eat, drink, sleep in a disembodied state I did not need.

  I could not get out up, but to get down I could not too. I sat down, pressed to what can be considered the surface and began to look as if examining the bottom of the river.

  First I saw nothing. I used my increased clairvoyance. Gradually I began to distinguish the vague shadows, some movement. Many small silhouettes. They were busy with something. There was unhurried work. They cleaned something, washed, rubbed. I had not noticed any buildings, all sat in the ditches. I did not feel joy in them.

  For a long time I lay and watched. Then suddenly, next to me, from the top a beam of light fell. This channel has penetrated into the lower world and achieved one of the little creatures. In my eyes, it began to change. It began to lighten and transform from a gnome into something else, bright and very nice. After some time in its place a small sun was shining. It was a transformation, and the creature in an optical channel as in the elevator began to rise up. When it passed me by, I noticed the fluid shape of the body and beautiful, inspired face.

  So that's how it is! Maybe dwarfs were the hunched souls of people, deprived of light? And the work they had appropriate - boring and pointless. But everything has an end. And when it becomes absolutely unbearable for them and soul asks deliverance – the help comes. Light descends from above and it is transformed into an angel. And the angel decides what it should do next - or become human again, or go even higher.

  Oleg, where are you! Do you know that I'm down, here?

  Then night came on the Earth. It became darker and in this world. Now I took this quietly. I built to myself a hammock from the air and settled in it, taking care of invisibility. Somewhere over the planet the stars were now shining. And here they were not. However, if you really stare up, you can discern some weak lights.

  The night passed quietly, and it became the morning. The darkness receded and turned into a yellowish dusk. Breaking Dawn.

  As before, periodically, here and there gnomes were descending and going through the world by transit. Here, not far from me again someone was going down. Interestingly, the figure was quite different. Some ghostly creature was back to me. I looked closely. It's a girl. She turned around ... Oh, God! This was Marina! How did she get here?!

  She did not see me - I took care of my invisibility. I rushed to her, but late. Energy channel, elevator went down with Marina. Without thinking, I jumped down into the stream of light. And what happened? I sank down!

  A little fear was born in me. I tried to suppress it. And I managed to do this, because the desire to see a friend was in me even stronger.

  I was falling down and down. Dusk gets even darker.

  Finally the descent was over. I felt under me something dense.

  I looked around. Marina was nowhere.

  I tried to perceive her energy field. But to no avail.

  The landscape of this layer consisted of small hills and ditches. In the ditches were stunted people - gnomes. They still saved residues of belonging to the female or male sex. Most of them were busy with work – scraped and polished some old things. They looked sad and dejectedly. I was sorry for them. Surely, they were the prisoners of this world – like me.

  But do not despair, I reminded to myself. The way up was possible, and I recently watched it. When I ducked behind the Marina, did not think about how I will get out of here. I too much wanted to find her. Our meeting on the surface, when we sat on the roof and nice chatting, left a trace. And besides, I wanted to know how she got here. I knew that I was lured into a trap, and wanted to understand what role they gave to Marina.

  I’ll try to search for it in this layer. On the Earth Marina ghostly glowed. Maybe it will help me. Despite the day on the surface, here was dim.

  How many hours I spent trying to find her, I did not know. A lot. But to no avail.

  It seemed that to find her, I'll have to go down even lower. But how?

  As I noted, stunted creatures, which I called the dwarfs, from time to time transformed in light and ascended above. But some of them experienced the opposite. They lost the remnants of light and sank down even deeper into the ground. Dark transformation. A dark channel that arose can be used for the descent. I just need to wait for such event and risk.

  Drawing such a plan in my head, I began to slowly move through the world, watching the creatures. Some of them looked at me with hope. Such were clearly not the dark. But those, whose gaze was angry or too sad - obvious contenders. Excuse me, my friends, that I could not help you!

  Here, not far from me, one of the dwarfs darkened, and then if went down. A suction funnel formed. His neighbors had fled, fearing that they will follow him. And no wonder - one of them sank after him.

  It was impossible to delay. The funnel began to close. I looked up where it was lighter, sent a mental call to Oleg, and then jumped behind gnomes.
