I recognized Radomir immediately, since there was too much left in him of that wonderful, bright young man I saw on my first visit to Meteora. He only matured greatly, became stern and more mature. His blue, piercing eyes now looked at the world carefully and harshly, as if saying: “If you don’t believe me, listen to me again, and if you don’t believe me even then, leave. Life is too valuable to give it to those who are not worth it.”
He was no longer that “loving”, naive boy who thought that he had the power to change any person... that he could change the whole world... Now Radomir was a Warrior. His whole appearance spoke about this - his inner composure, his ascetically thin but very strong body, the persistent fold in the corners of his bright, compressed lips, the piercing gaze of his blue eyes, flashing with a steel tint... And all the incredible strength raging in him, forcing his friends to respect him (and his enemies to reckon with him!) clearly showed in him a real Warrior, and in no case a helpless and soft-hearted God, which the Christian Church he hated so persistently tried to show him. And one more thing... He had an amazing smile, which, apparently, began to appear less and less often on his tired face, exhausted by heavy thoughts. But when she appeared, the whole world around her became kinder, warmed by its wonderful, boundless warmth. This warmth filled all the lonely, deprived souls with happiness!.. And it was in it that the real essence of Radomir was revealed! His true, loving Soul was revealed in him.
Radan (and it was clearly him) looked a little younger and more cheerful (although he was one year older than Radomir). He looked at the world joyfully and fearlessly, as if no misfortune simply could or had the right to touch him. As if any grief should have passed him by... He, undoubtedly, was always the soul of any meeting, illuminating it with his joyful, bright presence, wherever he was. The young man seemed to sparkle with some kind of joyful inner light, which disarmed young and old, forcing him to unconditionally love him and protect him as a most valuable treasure that comes to please the Earth once every thousand years. He was smiling and bright, like the summer sun, with a face covered in soft golden curls, and you wanted to look at him, admire him, forgetting about the cruelty and malice of the world around him...
