Svetlana de Rohan-Levashova.   Revelation

            the dead body, they respectfully waited. Her grief was so deep and hopeless that it
            touched even the most severe and hard-tempered ones...

                  Then numbness came. She did not feel as she was taken aside and seated. She did
            not see who washed Radomir for the last time... She knew the only thing: HE must rise!
            And she had to help him in that...
                  But the night passed and nothing changed. His spirit talked to her, but she stood,
            numb  and  deaf  to  anything,  only  endlessly  calling  Fathers...  She  still  refused  to
            surrender.

                  Finally  at  dawn  the  room  was  suddenly  lit  with  the  bright  golden  light, as if
            thousand suns were simultaneously switched on! And in this light a tall human figure,
            much taller than an ordinary man, appeared on the threshold... Magdalena understood
            at once – it was who she so fervently and persistently had called the whole night...
                  – Get up, Joyful one! – The visitor pronounced in a deep voice. – It is not your
                    world already.
            You have lived your life in it. I’ll show your new way. Get up, Radomir!
                  – I thank you, Father... – Magdalene whispered. – I Thank you that you heard me!

                  The old man long and attentively looked at the fragile woman standing before
            him. Then he unexpectedly smiled a radiant smile and very affectionately said.
                  – It  is  painful  for  you,  Sorrowful  one!  And  you  are  frightened.  I  am  sorry,
            daughter. I’ll take your Radomir away. He is not fated to be here anymore. He’ll have
            another fate now. You wished that...

                  Magdalena only nodded, showing to him that she understood. She was unable to
            talk. She had so little strength left. Somehow she must endure these last, severest for
            her moments... And then she would have enough time to grieve over her loss. The most
            important was that HE lived and the rest did not matter.
                  An exclamation full of surprise was heard. Radomir stood, looking around, not
            understanding  what  was  going  on.  He  did  not  know  yet  that  he  had  another  fate,
            UNEARTHLY  one...  He  also  did  not  understand  why  he  still  lived.  He  perfectly
            remembered that the executioners had done their job very well...
                  – Farewell, my Joy... – Magdalena whispered. – Farewell, my tender one. I will
            keep my promise and do all according to your will. You live... and I’ll always be with
            you.

                  Again the golden light blazed up brightly, but now it was outside. Following it,
            Radomir slowly left the room...
                  Everything around was so familiar! But feeling alive again, Radomir knew for
            some reason that already it was not his world... There was only one thing in this old
            world that still was real for him – his wife... his beloved Magdalena....

                  – I’ll come back to you... I’ll come back to you, come what may...  – Radomir
            whispered to himself. A vitmana hung above his head like an enormous "umbrella"…
                  Bathing in the rays of golden refulgency, Radomir slowly but confidently followed
            the shining Old man. Suddenly he turned around to see her for the last time. to take her
            amazing image with
            him. Magdalena felt terrific warmth. It seemed that Radomir’s last look sent all the
