Svetlana de Rohan-Levashova.   Revelation

            Their Golden Maria passed away... They were ready to give their lives for her. But it
            was SHE who died... And nothing could be changed; nothing could be done. This
            happened  in  1094  according  to  the  chronology  of  the  life  of  an  unknown  Jewish
            prophet, of whom the holy church made a greatly suffering "son of God"... Magdalena
            was only twenty nine years old...

                  Finally, Radan somehow managed to pull himself together and pronounced:
                  – Tell us, Simon, how did it turn out that it was exactly you who appeared twice
            next to Magdalena on one and the same day? How did it turn out that it was exactly
            you to whom she gave the message? She  never wrote messages, except to me and
            Svetodar. You perfectly know that Magdalena always preferred to talk to us. And she
            never decided the important things alone! She respected and loved us and would never
            agree to that kind of thing.

                  One of the knights was very nervous and higly displeased. To my greatest horror,
            it was the ever merry and pleasant Vesta’s "friend", Red Simon... Magdalena was right.
            He brought a misfortune... without realizing it. Simon bristled and looked at others,
            apparently not knowing how to withstand this verbal attack; what to say that they would
            understand?
                  – So, how can you explain this "letter", Simon? – Radan repeated insistently.
                  – I told you, I don’t know! – The knight offendedly exclaimed. – I, what a fool,
            tried to find you as quickly as possible and got mistrust in gratitude! I think jealousy
            blinds you; otherwise you would not offend me so wrongly!

                  The indignant Simon pulled out a tiny white sheet completely covered with neat
            large Runes – Magdalena’s supposed "letter"... All the rest in the room were obviously
            confused. They had known each other for such a long time that it was truly impossible
            to believe treachery of any one of them... But then why did that kind of thing happen?!
            In fact Maria never distinguished between any of them when discussing something truly
            important! They always acted all together in everything. And this "letter" turned the
            whole of the Cathar doctrine upside down and dramatically changed the sense of what
            Magdalena had taught for so long. Was it not really incomprehensible or, at least, very
            strange?
                  – Forgive us, Simon, we don’t want to accuse you. But the circumstances are very
            unclear. – A Knight Templar pronounced very reservedly. – How did you find yourself
            next to Maria exactly at the moment when she wrote this ill-fated message? And how
            did you appear in the holy cave exactly when they were killed?! – And, on calming
            down, he added: – Did she say anything?

                  –  No, she said nothing... She only asked it be read to you. – Simon pronounced
            with indignation. – If she had not died, would it really have seemed so strange!? Is it
            my guilt that I happened to be near? If I did not find THEM, maybe you would not know
            until now what happened to them!
                  It was very hard to blame him without knowing the whole truth. All of them were
            Knights of Radomir. They were closest battle friends who had gone a dangerous and
            long way together... But no matter how hard the Templars tried to think positively, the
            event aroused suspicions – everything coincided in a very unusual way…

                  I stood punch-drunk, refusing to believe that the most outstanding Empire on
