  SONG

  We were moving on and on. Gnomes were happily squeaking. Finally, I noticed something like wasteland. Nearby could not see any buildings or monsters. I offered Marina to land here and she agreed.

  Now we should raise our inner light that automatically should entail the occurrence of the portal. That was my understanding of the mechanism of creating of the energy channel. But is this in the reality? We will not know until we try.

  - Marina, how will we do it? How can we enlighten simultaneously hundred men?

  - Maybe the prayer?

  - That's good. But how to pray in unison to all souls vibrate and sparkle?

  - I think I know what will help us - My companion smiled happily.

  - What is it? Speak soon!

  - We have to sing!

  I understood immediately. How I did not guess? Song - it's one of the best means of mutual unity and uplift of mood.

  - Very Well! About what are we going to sing?

  - Of course, about love! - Instantly replied Marina.

  - Yes, of course!

  And so we two and another two hundred of small creatures stood in a circle and held hands. I closed my eyes and began to sing. Singing in the subtle world is a little different from the singing on the earth. I began the note of love and handed it to others. They took it, and repeatedly reinforced melody flew around and ascended skyward.

  At some point, I opened my eyes and saw the chase. The wave of monsters was moving to us - gray and black. Saying nothing to anybody I continued. Our song was beautiful. I was able to observe its effects - faces and figures of gnomes became to resemble human.

  And suddenly there occurred the most impressive thing. We ourselves and the space around us began to twinkle with soft, flickering light. He enveloped us like a fog. From each one of us up stretched the ray. Rays came together and hit like a sword. It cut the dark sky above us and in it appeared a portal. A huge funnel, which began to rotate. The substance of the space rushed in it. I noticed that our flying raft too began to rise up.

  However, the demons were getting closer and closer. It was already possible to distinguish their creepy grinning muzzles. Marina saw it and sent me the impulse of despair:

  - We do not have time!

  - We must.

  The main thing to the tots will not stop singing, otherwise our energy will not be enough, and the portal will close - will disappear. And we with a new force joined the chorus in the glory of love.

  But then something happened that we were so afraid. Gnomes have noticed the approaching monsters. Their small throats in horror could not make a sound. The song was interrupted. Only we were with Marina. But our voices were not enough. Light was gradually decreasing. The darkness gradually covered the portal, like the ice covers a puddle in the frost.

  We were in turmoil. Gnomes huddled and fearfully trembled. And we? We were ready to fight. However, there was another variant - we could quickly rise up our carpet into the air and fly away. But had we enough time?

  - We'll have to fight! - I cried to Marina.

  - I see. Oh, how many of them.

  We stood ahead, protecting the little creatures. Now it will be hot! We watched, how we were surrounded by dreary eyes and glowing rubies. They wanted to catch us. But they will not get us!

  I was about to mentally create a weapon, when suddenly inside me a voice arose...
