Svetlana de Rohan-Levashova.   Revelation

            Witches  –  to  get  to  know  with  my  mind  and  heart  the  depth  of  this  wonderful, so
            generously open to them, great KNOWLEDGE!

                  Burning tears were ready to roll down my cheeks, but I tried to retain them with
            all my might. I must not do it, because tears were the next "forbidden luxury" to which
            I had no right, if I called myself a real Warrior. Warriors do not cry. They fight and
            win, and when they die, there are no tears in their eyes.
                   Apparently I simply got very tired because of loneliness and pain and permanent
            fear for my family, and the endless fight which I did not have the least hope of winning.
            I needed a breath of fresh air very much which for me was my daughter Anna. But for
            some reason I did not see her, despite my knowing that she was here, together with
            them in this wonderful and strange "secret" land.

                  Sever stood next to me on the verge of the canyon. Deep sorrow hid in his grey
            eyes. I  wanted  to ask  him, whether  I  would see him  again? But  I  had  not  enough
            strength. I did not want to say goodbye. I did not want to leave. Life here was so wise
            and  calm  and  everything  seemed  so  simple  and  well!  But  there,  in  my  cruel  and
            imperfect world good people died and it was about time to return and try to save
            somebody. This was truly my world, no matter how terrible it was. And my father was
            there and, maybe, suffered cruelly unable to break from Caraffa who I decided to
            eliminate no matter what, even if I had to give my short and so dear to me life for it.
                  – May I see Anna? – I asked Sever with hope.
                  – Forgive me, Isidora, Anna must pass the "purging" from the vanity of the world
            before she can enter the same hall where you have just been. She cannot see you now...

                  – But why did I have nothing to "purify"? – I was surprised. In fact Anna is still a
            child and she does not have too much "dirt" of the world, does she?
                  – She will have to absorb too much – to grasp the whole of the endlessness. And
            you will never return there. There is no need for you to forget anything "old", Isidora.
            I am very sorry.

                  – So, will I never see my daughter again? – I asked in a whisper.
                  – You will. I shall help you. Now, do you want to say goodbye to the Volkhvs,
            Isidora? It is your only chance, don’t miss it.
                  Of course I wanted to see them, the Masters of this Wise World! My father had
            told me so much about them and I had dreamed of meetingt them for so long! However
            I could not imagine then how sad our meeting would be.

                  Sever lifted his hands and the rock shimmered and then disappeared. We found
            ourselves in a round hall with an incredibly high ceiling. The hall seemed to be a forest,
            a meadow, a fairy-tale castle or even "nothing" at one and the same time. No matter
            how hard I tried, I was unable to see its walls or what happened around it. The air
            twinkled and shimmered with thousands of brilliant "drops" looking like human tears...
            On subduing my agitation, I finally breathed in. The "rainy" air was surprisingly fresh,
            pure and light! It made the thinnest living filaments of the "golden" warmth run all
            over my body, spreading the vivifying force. The feeling was wonderful!
                  – Come, Isidora. Fathers expect you. – Sever whispered.

                  I took a step and the trembling air "moved" apart. The Volkhvs stood right in front
