church, remaining exactly who she is, and maybe even more. I have very far reaching
plans for your daughter...

– What do you mean, Your Holiness? And what a monastery has to do with it? – I
whispered with hardening lips.
I was trembling. I could not understand nothing of all this, I only felt that Caraffa
was telling the truth. The only thing that frightened me to death was what those "far-
reaching" plans this frightful man could have for my poor girl were.

– Calm down, Isidora, and stop waiting for something terrible from me all the
time! You are tempting fate, you know... The point is that the monastery which I am
talking about is not an ordinary one... Not a single soul knows about it outside its walls.
It is a monastery exceptionally for Veduns and Vedmas. It has existed for thousands
of years. I was there several times. I studied there... But, unfortunately, I did not find
there what I had been looking for. They rejected me... – Caraffa was engrossed in
thoughts for a moment and, to my surprise, suddenly became very sad. – But I am sure
that they will like Anna. And I am also sure that they will have something to teach your
talented daughter, Isidora.

Are you talking about Meteora , Your Holiness? – I knew the answer beforehand,
but nevertheless asked.
Caraffa’s raised his eyebrow in surprise. He obviously did not expect that I had
heard about it …
– Do you know them? Were you there?!
– I wasn’t, Your Holiness, but my father was, and he taught me a lot of things (later
I bitterly regretted I said that to him...). What do you want to teach my daughter there
and what for? In fact you have enough proofs to declare her a Witch now. All the same
you will try to burn her later like all others, won’t you?!
Caraffa smiled again.
Why did you grasp at this foolish idea, Madonna? I am not going to harm your
dear daughter! She will be able to serve us perfectly! I have been looking for a Vidunia
who is still a child for a very long time to teach her everything that Meteora "monks"
know in order that later she would help me to search out sorcerers and witches, those like
she once was. But she already will be a witch from God.
Caraffa did not seem mad, he WAS mad; otherwise it was impossible to accept
what he was saying now! It was not normal, and therefore it scared me even more.

– I am sorry, if I misunderstood, Your Holiness... But can there really be Witches

1 Not to be confused (!!!) with Meteora monastery complex in Greece, Kalambaka. Meteora in
Greece means "suspended in the air" which totally corresponds to the amazing view – the monasteries
look like pink mushrooms which grow on the tallest apexes of unusual mountains. The first monastery
was built approximately in 900 A.D. 24 monasteries were built between twelfth and sixteenth
centuries. Only six of them "lived" till our days and still shock the imagination of the tourists, although
the latter do not know one very interesting detail... There is one more monastery in Meteora where
"curious" persons are not allowed... It was built (and initiated the buildings of others) by a gifted
fanatic who once had studied in real Meteora and was banished from it. On getting extremely angry
with the whole world, he decided to build his "Meteora" in order to gather other "offended" persons
and to live their secluded life. Nobody knows how he succeded in doing that, but then freemasons
began to hold their secret meetings in his Meteora, which takes place once a year in our days too.
Monasteries Great Meteoron, Rousanou, St. Nicholas, St. Stephanos, the Holy Trinity and Varlaam
are situated very close to each other.
