Svetlana de Rohan-Levashova.   Revelation

            then by the offended cry of a lonely restless bird or by the sleepy bark of the local dogs
            showing their tireless vigilance. As for the rest, the night seemed still, tender and quiet...
            And only two persons stayed awake, sitting in the garden behind a high clay wall. They
            were Jesus Radomir and his wife Mary Magdalena... It was their last night... before the
            crucifixion.

                  Maria was silent, nestling to her husband and putting her tired head onto his
            chest. She wanted to say so many things to him! She wanted to say so many important
            things while there was still time! But she could not find the words. All words have been
            already said. And they all seemed senseless, unworthy of these last precious moments.
                  In vain she tried to persuade Radomir to leave the alien land. He refused. It was
            so inhumanly painful! The world was quiet and protected, but she knew – it would not
            be like this when Radomir went away... Everything will be empty and cold without
            him... She asked him to reconsider... She asked him to come back to his far away
            Northern country or at least the Valley of Magicians to  start everything from the
            beginning.

                  She knew that wonderful people were waiting for them in the Valley of Magicians.
            They all were gifted. There they could build a new and light world, just as Volkhv John
            had  assured  her.  But  Radomir  did  not  want  to...  He  did  not  agree.  He  wished  to
            sacrifice himself in order that the blind could see the light... It was exactly the task
            which his Father, White Volkhv, placed on his strong shoulders... And Radomir did not
            wish to retreat... He wanted to be understood... by the Israelites, even at the price of
            his own life.
                  None of his nine friends, the faithful knights of his Spiritual Temple, agreed with
            him. None wished to give him into the hands of the executioners. They did not want to
            lose him. They loved him too much...
                  But the day came when, submitting to Radomir’s adamant will, his friends and
            his wife (against her will) swore not to interfere in what would be going on... not to try
            to  save  him  no  matter  what  would  happen.  Radomir  hoped  that,  on  seeing  the
            inevitability of his death, people would at last understand, would see the light and
            would manifest their own wish to save him, despite the distinctions of their faith or lack
            of understanding.

                  But Magdalena knew that it would not happen. She knew that this evening would
            be the last for them.
                  Her heart broke to pieces, hearing his even breathing, feeling the warmth of his
            hands,  seeing  his  concentrated  face  unshadowed  by  the  slightest  doubt.  He  was
            unconditionally confident in his rightness. And she could do nothing, no matter how
            strongly she loved him, how furiously she tried to convince him that those, for whose
            sake he was going to die a terrible death, were absolutely not worthy of him and his
            sacrifice.

                  – Promise me one thing, my light one. If they manage to destroy me, you will go
            Home. – Suddenly Radomir demanded very insistently. – You’ll be safe there and you’ll
            be able to teach. The Knights Templar will come with you, they swore to me. You’ll
            take Vesta. You’ll be together. I shall visit you, you know that. You do you know that,
            don’t you?
