Svetlana de Rohan-Levashova. Revelation

I did not notice that the night had already fallen and still sat at the window,
watching the sparrows bustling about on the roof, and thought my sad thoughts. There
was no way out. Caraffa conducted this "performance" and it was exacly HE who
decided when somebody's life will be taken. I was unable to resist to his crafty designs,
even if I could now foresee them with Anna’s help. The present frightened me and made
me search even the least way out of the situation more vehemently in order to destroy
this terrible "trap" which caught our tormented lives.

Unexpectedly the air began to sparkle with greenish light right before me. I
became alert, expecting a new "surprise" from Caraffa... But it seemed that nothing
bad was happening. The green energy thickened, gradually growing into a tall human
figure. In a few seconds I saw a very handsome young unknown man... He wore a
strange snow-white "tunic", girdled with a bright red wide belt. The stranger’s grey
eyes shone with good and invited me to believe him, even without knowing him. And I
believed... On feeling that, the man began to speak.
– Hello, Isidora. My name is Sever. I know, you don’t remember me.

– Who are you, Sever? And why must I remember you? Does it mean that I met
you?
I had a strange feeling – as if trying to remember that which never happened…
but you feel that you know that very well from somewhere.
– You were too small to remember me. Your father once brought you to us. I am

The stranger smiled, and for some reason his smile made me feel warm and calm,
as if I suddenly found my old kind friend which I had lost a long time ago... I believed
him… in everything, whatever he said.

– You must leave, Isidora! He will destroy you. You will not be able to resist him.
He is stronger than you; or rather what he has got is stronger. It was a long time ago.
– You do not mean only his protection, do you? Who could give him
such a thing? The grey eyes grew very sad...

– We did not. Our Guest gave. He was not from here and, unfortunately, he
appeared to be a "black" one...

– But you do see!!! How could you allow it?! How could you admit him into the
"sacred circle"?
– He found us, just as Caraffa did. We don’t refuse those who can find us. But
usually it never was the "dangerous" ones... We made a mistake.

– Do you realise what a terrible price people pay for your "mistake"?! Do you
know how many lives went into the nonexistence being cruelly tortured and how many
more will go? Answer, Sever!
I exploded – they called it just a mistake!!! An enigmatic "gift" to Caraffa was a
"mistake" which made him almost invulnerable! And helpless people had to pay for it!
My poor husband, and maybe, even to my dear little child, have to pay for it! And they
