While living with Ejaz in Moscow Marta had one of her amazing and unusual dreams.
As if Ejaz and she walked together in the summer, but gradually the surrounding became more and more deserted and bizarre, icy mountains grew from somewhere. There was a lake on the right, also covered with ice.
No a soul was seeing around, and suddenly from the surface of the icy lake, flat as plywood, a figure of an ice "woman" stood up looking like the snow queen! Only the eyes were terrible, without whites, the demon's eyes burning with fierce anger. Martha and Ejaz stopped. He didn't seem to sense danger or understand what was going on while the demon prepared to pounce on them.
Martha began to read "Our Father", but the demoness also began to read this prayer in a rough, loud voice... then suddenly Martha remembered about her cross and snatched it from the pocket of her backpack, which hung behind her back.
A convulsion passed over the demon's face, distorting the features... but in the next moment, this creature shook off its initial fright, as it realized that the cross was not on the neck, but in the hand...
At that moment, Martha emerged from her nightmare with a cry: "Where is my cross?!" She was so horrified that Ejaz did not dare to object anything - he took out her cross from her backpack and silently watched as she put it on her neck... only after that she calmed down a little and was able to tell him her dream...
- Martha, let me write you such words from the Holly Koran, after that everything goes away!
- No, I don’t need to write any words! - she objected. “You were also in that dream with me – and you couldn’t do anything! I saw it myself: it is not afraid of any words, only of the cross! And I will never take it off!
