– Let’s go, sweetheart. The sun has already set. We shall rejoice at it tomorrow
and now we should greet our guests. You like to socialize with people, don’t you? Then
you will entertain them until I am free.

– I don’t like them. Their eyes are wicked... and their hands are restless all the
time, as if they cannot find any place for them. They are bad people, mummy. Would
you ask them to leave?
Magdalena laughed, gently hugging her daughter.

– Ah you, my suspicious little thing! How can we turn out our guests? "Guests"
are meant to bother us with their presence! You know that, don’t you? So, be patient,
dear, until they go home. And maybe they will never come back and you will not have
to entertain them.
Mother and daughter came back into the cave which now looked like a little
chapel with a funny stone "altar" in the corner. Suddenly the complete silence was
disturbed by the sound of pebbles which loudly crunched to the right and two men
appeared at the entrance. It was obvious that they did their best to step noiselessly and
seemed to me very unpleasant for some reason, I just could not figure out why. For
some reason I understood at once that they were Magdalena’s uninvited guests... She
gave a start but also a friendly smile and, addressing the senior, asked:
– How did you find me, Ramon? Who showed you the entrance to this cave?

The person called Ramon coldly smiled and, trying to seem pleasant, answered in
a falsely affectionate way:
– Oh, please, don’t be angry, light Maria! You know that I have many friends
here... I was just looking for you to talk about something very important.

– This place is sacred for me, Ramon. It is not meant for secular meetings and
conversations. And nobody could bring you over here except my daughter, and she, as
you see, is with me now. You spied on us... Why?
I suddenly felt an icy cold running along my back. Something was very wrong.
Something terrible had to happen right now... I wildly wanted to cry out! I wanted to
warn somehow... But I understood that I could not help them. I could not offer my hand
through centuries. I could not interfere... I don’t have this right. The events which were
unfolding before my eyes had taken place a very long time ago, and even if I could
help, it would be interfering in history; and if I saved Magdalena, many fates would
change, and maybe the subsequent Earthly history would be completely different...
Only two people on Earth had the right to do that and, unfortunately, I was not one of
them...
Further events happened so quickly that they did not seem real...

Coldly smiling, the man called Ramon unexpectedly grasped Magdalena’s hair
from the back and with lightning speed stuck a narrow long dagger in her open neck...
A crunch was heard. Magdalena hung on his hand, dead, without even having time to
understand what happened. Scarlet blood streamed like a brook on her snow white
dress... Her daughter uttered a shrill cry, trying to break free from the hands of the
second monster which grasped her fragile shoulders. But her scream was cut off – he
broke her neck very easily, like a rabbit and the girl fell down next to the body of her
