Svetlana de Rohan-Levashova. Revelation

At first nobody noticed anything in the "rapist" ardour... The boy quietly crawled
away to the corner and, having no strength for anything else, sat there motionless,
indifferent to anything, observing with his eyes, wide with horror, how, right in front
of him, his kind and tender mother, the best in the whole world, departed this world
by his hand.

Suddenly the frightful scene disappeared and everything around shone again
with all colours of the rainbow; we found ourselves in Stella’s world, light and merry.
I was unable to come to my senses from the nightmare I had just seen. I tried to keep
the pure image of this wonderful and brave little boy in my memory and did not even
notice that I was crying. I felt the tears rolling down my cheeks, but for some reason
I was not ashamed about it at all...
– I won’t show you what happened next, because it is even sadder... – Stella said
cheerlessly.
– But we found them. Everything is all right with them! Oh, don’t be so sad! –
She twittered, shaking off the sorrow.

And poor Harold sat on the sparkling stone which she had created for him,
stroked the purring red dragon with one finger and was very far from us, in his
cherished world, where they were still together and where his might-have-been dream
lived very really...
I was so sorry for him! Regrettably, I could not help him in anything and,
honestly, I was eager to know how this unusual little girl could.
– We found them! – Stella repeated again. – I did not know how to do it but Gran
helped me!

It appeared that Harold did not even get to know in his life time what a terrible
fate befell his family. He was a knight-warrior and had died before his city appeared
in the hands of the "butchers", just as his wife had predicted.
But, as soon as he got into this unknown, marvellous world of the "gone" people,
he at once could see how pitilessly and cruelly wicked fate had treated his nearest
and dearest. After that he had been obsessed with trying to find them for the whole
of eternity. He looked for them for a very long time, more than a thousand years, until
one day an unknown charming girl Stella offered him "to make him happy" and
opened another, the "right" door to finally find them for him...

– Do you want me to show it to you? – The girl offered again.
But I already was not so sure whether I wanted to see something more. Because
the pictures she had just showed wounded my heart and I was unable to get rid of
them so quickly to wish to see a continuation.
– But you do want to see what happened to them! – Little Stella confidently
established the "fact".

I looked at Harold and saw in his eyes the complete understanding of what I
unexpectedly went through right now.
– I know what you’ve seen. I watched it so many times. But they are happy now,
we come to look at them very often... And at them "former" ones, too... – The "sad
knight" pronounced in hushed voice.
