PART I. A GUARDIAN

1.19. On the ROOF

the midnight from 23 to 24 July,
Moscow, the hospital roof


Two spirits in white clothes were sitting on the roof, dangling their legs and talking quietly.

«How is she there, White?»

«Fine. She’ll be back soon!»

«Thanks for saving my ward’s mom.»

«You are welcome! Besides, he’s already a big boy!»

«Of course, it’s true, White, but people always need their mothers, no matter how old they are, 5 or 105. And you know, bro, looking at you rushing and twisting about your Alice, I think with horror, what I have to pass through with her son. Alice is a poetess, and he wants to become President!»

Kidding appeared on the roof, «Greetings, bros! White, welcome back!»

«Thank you, Kidding, for your help!»

«Come on, Alice did it herself. Well done! Only her grandma’s riddle wasn’t guessed.»

«What’s the riddle, White? You didn’t tell me!» President asked.

«When Alice was a kid, her mother, aunt and both grandmothers had the same problems in the 6th Sphere at the same time. Her grandmothers successfully survived, but her mother and aunt left for Our World. So Alice has a subconscious fear, if everyone around her had cancer, she cannot avoid it. But she forgot an important detail. The grandmother, whose hello I passed to Alice, didn’t have chemotherapy after the surgery, and she died in old age for a different reason. Tomorrow Alice will pull the forgotten fragment from her memory and…»

«And?» Kidding asked impatiently.

«She’ll re-start dreaming of going to the sea.»

«To Bulgaria?» President supposed.

«Guessed wrong! To Sardinia… with that one with horns and hooves!»

Kidding burst into laughter, «With the Man in White! Wow! What a beauty our Alice is!»

«Hello, White!» Glamorous shouted joyfully, flying up to the roof. «You are sneaky! Where have you been all that time?! Do you know that our wards met?!»

«Congratulations!» White patted Glamorous on the wing.

«Well, White, you must admit my share in Alice’s salvation! It was me to tell you about Elabuga!»

«I agree, it’s you, Glamorous, who saved her!» White chuckled.

«No, bros!» exclaimed President. «It’s Marina Tsvetaeva who saved Alice! She is her guardian!»

The guardian of the Woman appeared on the roof.

«Hello, White! Welcome back! Well, it’s not in vain that I softened the blow on the 6th Sphere by transferring Alice to our House of Serving to Creativity. Did it help?»

«Of course, it did! Thanks! And thanks for the trip to the sea!»

«When will you let Alice home?»

«Tomorrow she gets up. In 5 days, she’ll be at home. So she’ll fly to Bulgaria on August 5.»

«Hello, bros! Lucky stars to your wards!» exclaimed the guardian of the Astrologer, appearing on the roof. «White! Well, how is she? My Stargazer worries about Alice.»

«Thanks! If you didn’t inspire your Stargazer to look at the transiting Moon on July 17, I wouldn’t be talking with you today,» White said thoughtfully.

Light, the guardian of Svetlana, landed on the roof and exclaimed, «Come on, White, don’t underestimate your merits! There was no option in the Space for you to be missed here today. I assure you! Welcome back!»

«Thanks, Light! You have contributed to Alice’s salvation, too. Your Svetlana is always there and helps Alice, focusing her exclusively on the Light!»

«Greetings, bro, from the Writer!» said Gloomy. «Well, White, does their resetting in Greenwich promise us a happy autumn?»

«Of course, it does, bro! Thank you!»

«Just forgive me, White, for a mix-up,» Gloomy smiled. «I decided to play it safe. So on the weekend of July 13 and 14, I forced Alice to turn on the air conditioner to the fullest so that she would catch a cold and the surgery would not take place on the 17th. But it turned out, you had agreed back in May with a dark one to sneeze on her on the 15th!»

The guardians laughed and greeted the guardian of the Elder, and he said with a smile, «As Professor V. correctly noted, poets should live long!»

The guardian of the Surgeon appeared on the roof, «White, hello! Thank you for prompting me then about the 23rd and about the Transits!»

«Thanks to you, bro!»

«I really had nothing hard to do, only to get agreed with the guardians of the therapist and Professor V. I thought if Alice didn’t think of calling the Astrologer and going deeper into her Transits, or my Surgeon didn’t move her on the 23rd, we wouldn’t give her any permission for the surgery!»

«Are you saying that it was you, Surgeon, who saved Alice?» pretending to be offended, exclaimed Glamorous.

«No, it was Stargazer!» Kidding laughed.

«No, it was Kidding, Light and Gloomy, because they are Alice’s friends!»

«Glamorous, for sure!» Stargazer cried out joyfully.

«Marina Tsvetaeva!» President kept insisting.

«In fact, all of you, and Marina Tsvetaeva, and those people who responded to Alice’s letter,» White said. «For example, a poetess handed her an icon of Pantanassa. The icon helped, too.»

The guardians smiled, they agreed with White.

Wise landed on the roof. Looking around at those present, he turned to White with a smile, «What are you talking about so loudly here, bro?»

«We are discussing, who saved Alice. What do you think?»

«What is there to discuss?» Wise chuckled. «Of course, the Man in White!»

White sighed heavily. Kidding laughed. The rest guardians were smiling.

«You shouldn’t sigh so hard, White! You’d better rejoice! If every person a step away from the abyss would have such a Man in White, or a Woman in White, we, the guardians, would have a lot less worries for the wings!»

«You know, White, Wise is right, as always!» Stargazer said thoughtfully.

The guardian of the Surgeon agreed, «Yes, strange as it may seem, bros, but the Man in White has unwittingly become Alice’s guardian.»

At that moment, another guardian arrived on the roof. He looked blindingly white, or rather, dazzling! Those present were trying in vain to figure out who he was.

«Hello, bros!» the shining guardian joyfully exclaimed and frantically hugged White. «Hello, my dear friend!»

The guardians were watching with curiosity what was happening, since none of them recognized White’s friend. Having embraced everyone, Shining stepped back a little and illuminated those present with his dazzling Light.

«Bro, I’m sorry, but who are you?» White sincerely apologized, still understanding nothing.

«Me?! I’m Dim, bro! Well, don’t you remember me?»

White covered his mouth with his wing in surprise, «Are you Dim? Really? It’s unbelievable! You are emitting Light beyond our dimension! Blimey! Bros, get acquainted with the guardian of the Man in White! So tell me, what’s happened? Has your one, with horns and hooves, been enlightened?»

«Yes, White! Yes! You won’t believe it!»

«Did he leave for a monastery?»

«No, what are you!» Shining laughed. «It’s due to your Alice, bro! Yes! Can you imagine?!»

«What my Alice has to do with him?» White asked, still understanding nothing.

«She constantly thought about him, while I was praying there in the far corner. She thought with Love, you know! She directed to him such a flow of Love, and not just once, but every day! Day and night! Night and day! Divine Love, bro! Heavenly one! Ours! So I grew stronger every day! I got brighter and brighter! Thus, one day I kicked out that flock of the Dark shadows in a fell swoop! All that time, bro, your Alice was his true guardian! You can’t imagine what her Love saved him from! If every human had such Alice nearby, we would become so bright!»

The guardians smiled, exclaiming in turn, «Wow!», «Unbelievable!», «Amazing!», «What an instructive story!».

«Your Alice has woken up, White!» the guardian of the Surgeon informed cheerfully.

White and those present on the roof went down to the window in her ward and looked inside.

***

Alice opened her eyes. It was dark in the ward.

«Wow, it’s night already! I’ve been asleep for so long!» she thought and slowly turned her head towards the window, which for some reason had no curtains.

Alice noticed the silhouette of the Man in White. She smiled, then closed her eyes and opened them again. No, of course, it had been just a figment of her imagination. There was only the curious round-faced Moon looking in the ward through the window, and Alice laughed, «Hello, dear Moon! How are you doing there? Well, you seem to be still full, but I know that you were full the previous night, and tonight you are already waning, therefore, everything will be fine!»
