treacherously. Suddenly I felt so sorry for this wonderful and brave little girl. I could
not even imagine how she – poor lonely little thing – would now be able to stand up
for herself in this frightful and ominous world.

Stella’s eyes suddenly got wet too. Apparently the same thoughts visited her head.
– I am sorry, Maria, how did your Dean die? – At last I dared to ask.

The girl lifted her tear-stained face. I thought that she did not even understand
what she was being asked about. She was very far away... Probably where her true
friend was still alive, where she was not so lonely and everything was clear and well.
She did not want to return here. Today’s world was wicked and dangerous, and she did
not have anyone who would support and protect her. At last she took a deep breath;
courageously gathered her emotions together and told us the sad story of Dean’s death...
– I was with my mother and my kind Dean watched over us as usual... Suddenly
a frightful man appeared from somewhere. He was very bad. I wanted to run from him
wherever my feet would carry me. I just could not understand – why. He looked the
same way we do. He was even very handsome, simply very unpleasant. He emanated
horror and death. And he laughed loudly all the time, which made our blood freeze. He
wanted to take my mother with him, saying that she would serve him. My mother was
breaking loose from his grip, but he, certainly, was far stronger. Dean tried to protect
us in which he was always successful before. Only the man was obviously special...
He threw a strange orange "flame" into Dean, impossible to put out, and when Dean,
even being on fire, continued to protect us, the man killed him with blue lightning
which suddenly "blazed" from his hand. Here is how my Dean died... And now I am
alone.
– Where is your mother? – Stella asked.

– She is still here. – The little girl was confused. – It’s just she is angry very often...
And now we don’t have any protection. Now we are absolutely alone...
Stella and I exchanged glances. It turned out that the same idea dawned on us –
Svetilo! He was strong and kind. We hoped that he would want to help this unhappy
and lonely little girl and be her defender until she went back into her "good and kind"
world...

– Where is this frightful man now? Do you know where he went? – I asked
impatiently. – And why he did not take your mother with him?
– I don’t know. Probably he will come back. I don’t know where he went and who
he is. But I know that he is very, very wicked... Why he is so wicked, girls?
– Well, we’ll find out. I promise you. And now would you like to see a good man?
He is here too, but, unlike that "frightful" one, he is truly very good. He can be your
friend while you are here, if you want it, of course. Friends call him Svetilo.

– Oh, what a beautiful name! And a kind one!
Maria gradually came back to life and when we suggested meeting her new friend,
she hesitated a little but finally agreed. The already familiar cave appeared before us,
emitting golden and warm sunlight.

– Wow, look! It’s a sun, right?! It looks like a genuine one! How did it get here?
– The little girl looked dumbfounded, discovering such unusual beauty in this terrible
