Enishte¨s book was a blissful miracle without equal in the world。 When this 
masterpiece was pleted�察�in keeping with Our Sultan¨s decree and the late 
Enishte  Effendi¨s  desire�察 �the  whole  world  would  marvel  over  the  Ottoman 
Sultan¨s power and wealth as well as the talent�察�elegance and ability of us�察�His 
master  miniaturists。  Not  only  would  they  fear  us�察 �our  power  and  our 
relentlessness�察�they¨d be bewildered�察�seeing how we laughed and cried�察�how we 
stole from the Frankish masters�察�how we saw the most buoyant colors and the 
minutest of details�察�and ultimately�察�they would acknowledge with terror what 
402 
 
only  the  most  intelligent  sultans  understood�此 �that  we  were  situated  both 
within the world of our paintings and far far away in the pany of the old 
masters。 
Butterfly had been striking me all along�察�first like a child eager to determine 
whether or not my armor was genuine�察�next�察�like a friend who wanted to test 
its strength�察�and finally�察�like an incorrigible and jealous foe who wanted to do 
me  harm。  In  truth�察 �he  understood  that  I  was  more  talented  than  he�察 �even 
worse�察�he probably sensed that Master Osman knew this too。 With his God´
given  talent�察 �Butterfly  was  a  superb  master�察 �and  his  envy  made  me  prouder�此�
Unlike him�察�I became a master through the strength of my own ^reed�察院�not by 
holding  my  master¨s�察 �and  I  sensed  that  I  could  force  him  to  accept  my 
superiority。 
Raising my voice�察�I explained how pitiful it was that there were men who 
wanted  to  undermine  Our  Sultan  and  the  late  Enishte¨s  miraculous  book。 
Master  Osman  was  like  a  father  to  us  all�察 �he  was  everyone¨s  superior�察 �we 
learned  everything  from  him�  �Yet�察 �after  tracing  the  clues  in  Our  Sultan¨s 
Treasury�察 �for  some  unknown  reason�察 �Master  Osman  tried  to  conceal  his 
realization  that  Olive  was  the  despicable  murderer。  I  said  I  was  certain  that 
Olive�察 �who  couldn¨t  be  found  at  home�察 �was  hiding  away  in  the  deserted 
Kalenderi dervish house near the Phanar Gate。 This dervish lodge was closed 
during  the  reign  of  Our  Sultan¨s  grandfather�察 �not  because  it  was  a  den  of 
degradation  and  immorality�察 �but  rather�察 �as  a  result  of  the  endless  wars  with 
the Persians�察�and�察�I added�察�there was even a time when Olive boasted that he 
was keeping guard over the forbidden dervish lodge。 If they didn¨t trust me�察�
suspecting  some  ruse  behind  my  words�察 �the  dagger  was  in  their  hands�察 �they 
were free to mete out my punishment then and there。 
Butterfly  landed  two  more  heavy  blows  of  the  dagger  that  most  armor 
could not have withstood。 He turned to Black�察�who believed what I told them�察�
and screamed at him childishly。 I came up from behind�察�put my armor´plated 
arm around Butterfly¨s neck and drew him toward me。 Bending his other arm 
back  with  my  free  hand�察 �I  made  him  drop  the  dagger。  We  weren¨t  quite 
struggling�察 �nor  were  we  entirely  playing。  I  recounted  a  similar�察 �little´known 
scene in the Book of Kings。 
^On the third day of a confrontation between Persian and Turanian armies 
fully  equipped  in  armor  and  weaponry  and  arrayed  at  the  foot  of  Mount 
Hamaran�察 �the  Turanians  sent  the  wily  Shengil  into  the  field  to  learn  the 
identity of a mysterious Persian who¨d killed a great Turanian warrior on each 
of the previous two days�察院�I began。 ^Shengil challenged the mysterious warrior�察�
403 
 
and he accepted。 The armies�察�their armor glimmering brightly in the afternoon 
sun�察 �watched  with  bated  breath。  The  armored  horses  of  the  two  warriors 
engaged each other with such speed that sparks flying from the clash of metal 
singed the hides of the horses which gave off smoke。 The fight was a lengthy 
one。  The  Turanian  shot  arrows�察 �the  Persian  maneuvered  his  sword  and  horse 
skillfully�察�and finally�察�the mysterious Persian felled the Turanian after catching 
him by the tail of his steed。 He then chased after Shengil who was trying to 
escape�察�and grabbed him by his armor from behind before taking him by the 
neck。 As he accepted his defeat�察�the Turanian�察�still curious about the identity of 
the mysterious warrior�察�asked without hope what everybody had wondered for 
days�察 �Who are you�拭亜 �To you�察亜�replied the mysterious warrior�察 �my name is 
Death。^ Tell me then�察�my friends�察�who was he�拭院�
^The legendary R┨stem�察院�said Butterfly with childlike glee。 
I  kissed  him  on  the  neck。  ^We¨ve  all  betrayed  Master  Osman�察院 �I  said。 
^Before he metes out his punishment�察�we must find Olive�察�rid ourselves of this 
venom in our midst and e to an agreement so we can stand strong against 
the eternal enemies of art and those who long to send us directly to dungeons 
of torture。 Perhaps�察�when we arrive at Olive¨s abandoned dervish house�察�we¨ll 
learn that the cruel murderer isn¨t even one of our lot。 ̄ 
Poor Butterfly uttered not a sound。 Regardless of how talented�察�confident 
or  well  supported  he  might  be�察 �just  like  all  illuminators  who  sought  one 
another¨s  pany  depite  their  mutual  loathing  and  envy�察 �he  was  deathly 
afraid of being left alone in this world and of going to Hell。 
On the route to the Phanar Gate�察�there was an eerie greenish´yellow light 
above  us�察 �but  it  wasn¨t  the  light  of  the  moon。  In  this  light�察 �the  old�察 �faithful 
nighttime  appearance  of  Istanbul  prised  of  cypress  trees�察 �leaden  domes�察�
stone  walls�察 �wooden  houses  and  tracts  ravaged  by  fire  was  overtaken  by  an 
unfamiliarity such as might be caused by an enemy fortress。 As we ascended 
the  hill�察 �in  the  distance  we  saw  the  fire  that  burned  somewhere  beyond  the 
Bayazid Mosque。 
In the heavy darkness�察�we came across an oxcart half´loaded with sacks of 
flour  heading  toward  the  city  walls�察 �and  parting  with  two  silver  coins�察 �we 
procured a ride。 Black had the pictures with him�察�and he sat down carefully。 As 
I lay back and watched the low clouds glow from the fire�察�two raindrops fell 
upon my helmet。 
After  a  long  journey�察 �as  we  searched  for  the  deserted  dervish  lodge  we 
roused  all  the  dogs  in  the  neighborhood  which�察 �in  the  middle  of  the  night�察�
404 
 
seemed to be abandoned。 Although we saw that lamps were now burning in a 
few stone houses in response to our clamor�察�it was only the fourth door we 
knocked upon that opened to us�察�and a man in skullcap�察�gaping at us by the 
light  of  his  lamp  as  if  we  were  the  living  dead�察 �gave  us  directions  to  the 
deserted dervish lodge without even sticking his nose out into the quickening 
rain!merrily  adding  that  once  there�察 �we¨d  have  no  peace  from  the  evils  of 
jinns�察�demons and ghosts。 
In  the  garden  of  the  dervish  lodge  we  were  greeted  by  the  calm  of  proud 
cypresses�察�indifferent to the rain and the stench of rotting leaves。 I brought my 
eye up to one of the cracks between the wooden planks of the dervish´lodge 
walls�察�and later�察�to the shutter of a small window�察�whereupon�察�by the light of 
an oil lamp�察�I saw the menacing shadow of a man performing his prayers!or 
perhaps�察�a man pretending�察�for our sake�察�to pray。 
 
 
   
405 
 
I AM CALLED ^OLIVE ̄ 
 
Was it more fitting for me to abandon my prayers�察�spring to my feet and open 
the  door  for  them  or  to  keep  them  waiting  in  the  rain  until  I¨d  finished�拭�
When  I  realized  they  were  watching  me�察 �I  pleted  my  prayers  in  a 
somewhat distracted state。 I opened the door�察�and there they were!Butterfly�察�
Stork and Black。 I gave a cry of joy and embraced Butterfly。 
^Alas�察�what we¨ve had to bear of late� 院�I lamented�察�burying my head into 
his shoulder。 ^What do they want from us�拭�Why are they killing us�拭院�
Each of them displayed the panic of being separated from the herd�察�which 
I¨d seen from time to time in every master painter over the span of my life。 
Even here in the lodge�察�they were loath to separate from one another。 
^We can safely take refuge here for days。 ̄ 
^We worry�察院�Black said�察 �that the person we should fear is perhaps in our 
very midst。 ̄ 
^I�察�too�察�grow anxious�察院�I said。 ^For I have heard such rumors as well。 ̄ 
There  were  rumors�察 �spreading  from  the  officers  of  the  Imperial  Guard  to 
the division of miniaturists�察�claiming that the mystery about the murderer of 
Elegant Effendi and late Enishte was solved�此�He was one of us who¨d labored 
over that book。 
Black inquired as to how many pictures I¨d drawn for Enishte¨s book。 
^The  first  one  I  made  was  Satan。  It  was  of  the  variety  of  underground 
demon mon to the old masters in the workshops of the Whitesheep。 The 
storyteller  and  I  were  of  the  same  Sufi  path�察 �that¨s  why  I  made  the  two 
dervishes。 I was the one who suggested to Enishte that he include them in his 
book�察�convincing him that there was a special place for these dervishes in the 
lands of the Ottomans。 ̄ 
^Is that all�拭院�asked Black。 
When I told him�察 �Yes�察�that¨s all�察院�he went to the door with the superior air 
of a master who caught an apprentice stealing�察�he brought in a roll of paper 
untouched by the rain�察�and placed it before us three artists like a mother cat 
bringing a wounded bird to her kittens。 
I  recognized  the  pages  while  they  were  still  under  his  arm�此 �They  were  the 
illustrations I¨d rescued from the coffeehouse during the raid。 I didn¨t deign to 
ask  how  these  men  had  entered  my  house  and  located  them。  Nevertheless�察�
406 
 
Butterfly�察�Stork and I each placidly owned up to the pictures we made for the 
storyteller�察�may he rest in peace。 Afterward�察�only the horse�察�an exquisite horse�察�
remained unclaimed off to the side�察�its head lowered。 Believe me�察�I didn¨t even 
realize that a horse had been drawn。 
^You  weren¨t  the  one  who  made  this  horse�拭院 �said  Black  like  a  teacher 
holding a switch。 
^I wasn¨t�察院�I said。 
^What about the one in my Enishte¨s book�拭院�
^I didn¨t make that one either。 ̄ 
^Based on the style of the horse
