Foreword
Dally is a brave beautiful girl about eighteen years. She works at secret group. All people in it look for new lands with new plants, animals and native people. Each year they travel to unknown places.
Once Dally and other people off group went by plane to the Dead Land. Nobody knew, what was there. Why that place had so dreadful name?
The plane took off. The weather was fine. The bright sun was shining. The sky was cloudless. And although all was good, Delly had a bad presentiment.
Suddenly she felt light dizziness. The plane was toppling...
When Dally came to herself, she was staggered. She was at the Dead Land quite alone. She stood like spellbound and looked around her.
Then the girl decided to inspect the land. It was the big island. Maybe, it was uninhabited. At least, Dally met nobody as she walked. There were amazing flowers. Some like bells, some like cornflowers, and some like may-lily. The trees were very high and thick like baobabs.
Suddenly she heard low whistle. Animals or people?
-Hey! Is anybody there? - called Dally.
There was no answer. She heard that somebody was going behind her. She turned. There was nobody.
In an hour the girl found a cave. She came in. There, on the ground of cave, she found a great deal of dead bodies. Dally screamed of horror! It was really the Dead Land!
A low whistle again. What is it?
Dally ran out the cave. She was running and running. Suddenly, something stopped her. Some mysterious forces made her to do it. It was the forces of that Land.

Dally didn"t know what news can wait her. She was only standing and thinking of all. She thought about the plane and her friends, about this terrible island and her helpless. She was quite alone, and nobody could help her.
-My life on this land like Robinson"s life. And I will live like him.
So, the girl made a little house which became home for her.
Staying two years on the island, Dally got accustomed to live that life. But she thought about homecoming as before. She believed that one day would change all.
***
One day Daly came to a stream. There, under the waterfall, she found some things, which showed: somebody lived on the Dead Land.
Next day all that things weren"t there. It was only an old book. Dally opened it. The pages of that book were in blood.
-Oh, heavens! What is it? - screamed the girl.
Because of blood, it was very difficult to read anything. It was someone"s notes, but more than half of them were difficult for read. At the last page there was hardly visible recourse. "Please, help me, if you can. I am in the Skeleton Cave. "
So Dally went to the Skeleton Cave. There was a little girl about seven years. She was lying without moving. She was very pale and skinny. Firstly, Dally thought, she was dead. But the girl was alive. The girl added to a little vial with a strange acid-green liquid. Dally didn"t know what was it, but she poured a liquid in the girl"s mouth. The girl felt herself better immediately. The girl stood up and hugged Dally. It meant gratitude.
-Who are you? How did you get to this land? - asked Dally.
The girl didn"t answer. She showed to her book.
***
Dally read the girl"s book.
"I am the Moon Girl. My name is Drika. I was born on the Dead Land. My mother is the Moon. My father is the Wolf. I haven"t got a man"s voice. But I have the Force. My look is the Ice. My smile is the Fire. But don"t make me cry! My tears are the Blood. "
-My tears are the Blood, - said Dally, - That"s why her book is in blood. She cried.
"I have to live in the Skeleton Cave because I must help one girl. Her name is Dally. She came to this island by plane with her friends. All the people had died expect Dally herself. She is the only man who didn"t die on this island. Expect me, of course. I know all her fate and I really can help her. "
-Dally! It"s me! Drika, I am Delly.
-Really? - Drika hissed like a snake. So I heard her voice for the first time. I was unwonted voice but soon I got accustomed to it.
-It"s true, - I said.
-So I must help you, - the girl hissed, - Open the Cave Door and come to your place.
-Thanks. But you?
-I must live there. I must die there. I must rise from the dead. And then I"ll come to you again.
Dally opened the Cave Door and came home. Since that moment Dally tells her story.
