  - Rescue children Jesus ... For God's sake! - The little girl Satan last time croaked.

   On the place of the fantastic maiden goddess there was only a charred skeleton which however, too later was scattered a moment in ashes.

  Gradually groans and shouts in Gomorrah calmed down ... The image of execution of the impious city was gone. Jesus was kneeling and loudly sobbed. Left the Satan reddening withered in the eyes, strange, worthy a paradise garden of a plant were scattered in ashes. The boy continued to cry, the body shuddered from grief, and human heart, was slowed down, accelerated. And so passed, hour after an hour until at last and the Sun was behind the horizon.

  Then the boy at last rose from knees and is silent, thoughtful - said:

  - It is difficult to be God ... But without God in soul it is even more difficult!

  Vision, tremendous realness disappeared. They again on Patriarchal ponds, in the light of pink beams of the dying Sun. Still very warmly and, it seemed did not pass time at all, and any of shadows not even became one inch longer.

  Apparently, "cinema" made tremendous impression on all. To the first the question was asked by cheeful Korovyev:

  - So means, the Gospel did not lie?

  The boy prince and he answered Lucifer with arrangement:

  - There is no direct lie in them. There are only half-words!

  Voland looked at the prince and with grief in a voice said:

  - Two devils, on one universe it already too ...

  Prinze-Lucifer with a smile explained:

  - In this world the Satan one - you ... I only reproduced this light ...

  And Mephistopheles pointed to Bulgakov's girl. - And it is your real Father Creator, can consider him the creator!

  - Charm! - Provizzhal Begemot. - I thought that I am a great and unique personality who serves the mightiest Boss in the Universe ... And it appeared, I no more, than the literary character.

  Voland severely looked at a cat, that in feigned fear shrank. Then messir and the master darkness judiciously said:

  - Yes, you opened the severe truth for me, very severe!

  Prinze-Lucifer seriously and already without smile, noticed:

  - And the truth always severe ... - And here again smiled and already joyfully noticed. - But nobody cancelled the right for sacred lie ... We will erase our emergence from your memory, and you will be able to enjoy and revel in the power, without thinking who created you and what insignificant little man had the nerve to think up to himself!

  Here already and Berlioz gave a vote. His question was the most natural:

  - And me the head by tram will not be cut off?

  The fresh youthful face of the prince got sad expression:

  - Alas, Voland predicted it, and it is impossible to undermine the authority Messira! - The Lucifer replaced looks with more joyful. - But if you do not want to disappear in a non-existence, then in hell to you there will be a town, you are a personality very interesting and extraordinary!

   Kot blonde in boots agreed:

  - Of course, against stupid scoops is directly Vladimir Ilyich from MASSALITA!

  Korovyev, winking at light, through broken a penny sang:

  - Scoops, scoops, we will not give you the country! Scoops, scoops - we declare to you war!

  Prinze-Lucifer winked at the demon in the broken surroundings and at parting took off a hat with a feather, having gallantly taken leave. Voland repeated this sign of friendly parting, then Patriarshikh Prudov Avenue disappeared. Prinze-Lucifer, a Puss in Boots and the girl Bulgakov appeared in the comic ship with transparent walls. Around sparkled, delightful stars and extraordinary planet forms. Very beautiful landscape.

  The Lucifer, seeing as Bulgakov was surprised, watching the planet in the form of the gold samovar topped with a cock crest and wings of a butterfly with the image of mobile drawing indulgently explained:

  - It is hell ... In it I like to create beautiful the planet in surrealism, but when here Picasso and Salvador Dalí come, it will be even better!

  Bulgakov was unexpectedly wrinkled and blurted out:

  - Picasso? Yes my daughter better it draws!

  The prince changed in reply the shape. This time there was already, something from creations of avant-gardism too. A six-sided prism with feelers of a squid, only instead of suckers butonchik of flowers. And on it several eye is represented. fancifully turned out and sparkling. And still pictures which delirious will not come in dream to the person also all in the bright, blinking a light show light.

  The Lucifer, in new shape, asked Bulgakov:

  - Unless it is not tremendous? Refusal of the ordinary, and bothered human body?

  Bulgakov politely answered:

  - On the it is fine, but ... My weak human mind is simply shocked!

  The Lucifer accepted shape of the young man, only this time in a garrison cap in an asterisk and a spotty undershirt again. Plus with a red tie and holding a horn in hand. Now it did not look search any more. The ringing voice said:

  - You want to become the hero?
