the fight for them so simply.

– I have already explained it to you, Isidora...
– So explain it to me one more time! – I sharply cut him short. – Explain to me
how is it possible to sit around twiddling your thumbs when human lives go out one by
one because of your error?! Explain how a piece of scum like Caraffa can exist and
nobody shows any intention whatsoever of even trying to destroy him?! Explain to me
how can you live when such atrocities happen right next to you?

Bitter offense boiled within me trying to break loose outside. I almost shouted,
trying to reach his heart, but I felt that I was losing him. There was no way back. I did
not know whether I could get here again and therefore I should use any opportunity
before I leave the place.
– Look around, Sever! The living torches of your brothers and sisters burn
all over Europe!
Can you really sleep at night hearing them screaming??? Don’t you have bloody
nightmares?!
Pain distorted his serene countenance:

– Don’t say that, Isidora! I’ve already explained it to you: we must not interfere;
this right has not been given to us... We are keepers. We only guard KNOWLEDGE.
– Don’t you think that should you wait a little bit more there will be nobody to
keep your knowledge for?! – I exclaimed sorrowfully.

– Earth is not ready, Isidora. I’ve already told you...
– Well, maybe it will never be ready. And when you look at it from your

But Sever was encircled within the solid wall of faith in what he said. Apparently
they all strongly believed that they were right. Or there was somebody who once
instilled this faith in their souls so firmly that they carried it through the centuries,
without opening up and letting nobody into their hearts. And I failed to breach that
wall, no matter how hard I tried.

– We are few in number, Isidora. And if we interfere, it is highly likely that we will
die too. And then it will be very simple, even for a weak man, let alone somebody like
Caraffa, to take advantage of everything we keep. And somebody will get his hands on
the power over every living soul. This kind of thing happened once… a very long time
ago. The world almost died then. Therefore, I am sorry but we are not going to
interfere, Isidora. We have no right to do that... Our Great Ancestors bade us guard
the ancient KNOWLEDGE. And this is why we are here, what we live for. We did not
save even Christ once... although we could; despite the fact that we all loved him very
much.
– Are you saying that one of you knew Christ?! But it was such a long time ago!
Even you cannot live so long!

– Why is it a long time ago, Isidora? – Sever was sincerely surprised. – It was just
