- You know, I was considered so ruthless that constructed any temple in my honor. Offensively?
Artyom answered it peculiar:
- And in my honor did not build any temple!
The unexpectedness of the answer really made laugh Lucifer and the head of angelic opposition laughing loudly, noticed:
- It is difficult to be God, but to remain the devil at all insufferably!
Artem showed erudition:
- "Devil" on a zone bad color!
The Lucifer according to nodded:
- It precisely ... Though in the national legend of Lines and God together created Earth!
Artem was surprised, he once read the Bible from cover to cover and several times. But heard it for the first time.
The boy as if discussing plot, lowered a voice and, asked the Devil:
- And how it was?
The Lucifer unshakably kept silent and the narration there began the goddess Chuma. Its voice differed in depth and expressiveness:
- The Lord enjoined to dive to the devil into the river of eternity, to reach a bottom and to scoop an earth handful in the Name God's - for creation of our world. The devil dived into the river, reached the bottom and scooped the earth in the name. - The goddess showed teeth in a crafty smile. - So he wanted to subordinate to himself future world. But the earth escaped from his fingers.
Then the devil dived into the second time and, having again reached to the bottom, scooped the earth in the name. And again the earth blurred as if liquid clay from sharp-clawed phalanxes.
The Lucifer interrupted the demon goddess:
- The termination is too banal, for the third time of lines already scooped the earth in the Name God's and it was going to the planet. Not too fascinating history.
The goddess-demon noticed:
- But here interestingly another, almost all national fairy tales show priests very much even negatively!
The Lucifer it is rather affirmative, than interrogatively, declared:
- And unless they do not deserve it?
Artyom instead of discussion peered at a windshield. They already in an outer space. Flight proceeded practically without overloads, and the star sky struck with beauty. Even a little unnatural. Very much arose stars much, and planets of solar system unnaturally large as if in planetarium.
Here, for example, brightness of Saturn. It is such tremendous, and rings of all flowers of a rainbow. And them a little and, as in circus, the movements with modulations. And Jupiter? This glue miracle!
On it as if the magnificent palace on sails flutters ... Walls white and blue, roofs pink and gold. And then the Neptune with the satellite trident. Artemka doubted reality:
- It is space?
The Lucifer it is serious, but answered with playful tone:
- There is no hell!
Artemka burst out laughing to a joke and declared:
- Sapphires at the Neptune very much even bright! On its trident!
At the Devil the mood deteriorated a little. A triad of demons - Zeus, Poseidon, Hades. Strong and amusing children - moreover and kind soldiers. It was much interesting with them it is conceived and incarnate in hell. And something and on the planet Earth. But also their ruthless Lord concluded in eternal bonds and under a gloom.
Such here chasm where many angels of opposition disappeared in conclusion. And first of all demons suffered having become invalid for pagan gods. Everyone pagan these or those people, had sponsored by rebellious angels of a high order god. But cults of gods perished and demons went to chasm fetters. It is a pity when your colleagues and friends instead of a cheerful underworld or even more interesting Earth leave there where crying and a gnashing of teeth.
But there is a chance to release friends - to create new cults outside Solar system. The great Creator, at all the severity, nevertheless can give chance to an angel of opposition for return. Therefore Lucifer's business has to give freedom to demons.
What role the boy Artem, the Devil has to play in this case also itself did not solve. Tests of the boy have to show it. While Artem looked is quite ordinary, will not call fearless, chmy too, but outstanding qualities it is not visible.
Mind it seems by nature is, but not especially developed. Though in it there is also a certain intrigue when your not the sample sponsored at all - fearlessness and will. Besides, the strong-willed teenager can be extremely stubborn, and will difficult mold him. People in general in the majority do not love the Devil if he calls himself.
This name frightens them, and the reason - to connect all evil with the Satan. But here it is real ... Division into light and shade too shablonno! His name is Svetonesushchy. But why quite so? The Lucifer wants to prove that the sin and opposition to the Lord are for the good of creation. So ... Goethe is not right.
Phrase: "I am part of force of that that eternally the malice bearing, creates good".
This skoy the double-dealing fellow in concepts. The Lucifer on the contrary, wants good all real, including also God, and often it turns out that the opposition is wrapped in the evil. Thus and hell remains a consolation where you rather all-powerful to correct the errors. And here now they fly to stars. Not the real space, but Hades.
