                  And here Magdalene finally exploded... She could not bear it anymore... Yes, she
            was the most powerful Magician. But in this frightful moment she was just a fragile
            loving woman who was about to lose her most beloved human being in the world.

                  Her faithful pure heart did not understand HOW Earth could to give its most
            gifted son to be brutally tortured and then killed? Was there any sense in this sacrifice?
            She was absolutely certain that there was none whatsoever. She was accustomed to the
            endless (sometimes hopeless!) fight since she was a child, but now Magdalene was
            unable to understand this absurd and wild sacrifice! Neither her heart nor her mind
            could accept blind  obedience to  fate, just  in the  vain hope of  somebody's possible
            "awakening"! These people (the Israelites) lived in their isolated world, dead shut for
            others. The fate of a "stranger" did not bother them. And Maria knew – they would not
            help,  just  as  she  knew  that  Radomir’s  death  would  be  senseless  and  in  vain.  And
            nobody  could  bring  him  back,  even  if  he  wanted.  It  would  be  too  late  to  change
            anything...
                  –  Why don’t you understand me? – Radomir suddenly askd, eavesdropping on her
            sad thoughts. – If I don’t try to awaken them, they will destroy the future. Do you
            remember what Father told us? I must help them! Or at least I have to try.

                  – Tell me, you failed to understand them, right? – Magdalena whispered, tenderly
            stroking his hand. – Just as they failed to understand you. How can you help people,
            if you don’t understand them?! They think by way of different Runes... if these are
            Runes at all. It is that they are different people, Radomir! Their mind and heart are
            unknown to us. No matter how hard you try, they will not hear you! They don’t need
            your Faith, just as they don’t need you. Look around, my Joy. It is an alien home!
            Your land calls you! Leave, Radomir!
                  But he did not want to countenance defeat. He wished to prove to himself and
            others that he did everything he could. So no matter how hard she tried, she could not
            save Radomir. Regrettably she perfectly knew it…
                  It was already the middle of the night... The old garden, buried in the world of
            smells and dreams, was cosily silent, enjoying the time of freshness and coolness. The
            world  around  Radomir  and  Magdalene  slept  carefree,  having  no  presentiment  of
            anything dangerous or bad. Only Magdalene felt that somebody pitiless and indifferent
            stood  right  behind  her  and  chuckled  gloatingly...  It  was  Fate...  inexorable  and

            threatening … It gloomily looked at a fragile tender woman who it still failed to break
            by troubles or pain...
                  In order to protect hersef from all this, Magdalene clung with all her might and
            main to the old recollections, as if she knew that only they could keep her fevered brain
            from complete and irretrievable "black-out".
                  The darling years she spent with Radomir still lived in her tenacious memory... It
            seemed to her that it was such a long time ago! Or was it yesterday? It did not matter
            now – tomorrow he would cease to exist and their life together would indeed be just a
            recollection…

                  HOW could she accept it?! HOW could she do nothing, when her only love and
            dearest human being on Earth was going to die?!!
                  – I want to show you something, Maria, – Radomir whispered.
