Each tree of jade- a finger of history pointing at the enlightened moon. For Princess Lei, her streams of thought flowed away- a rain of moonbeams in the cloudy night. Only then did the moon itself appear- a calm luminous pearl set in the sea of darkness.

The Count & Princess  locked eyes- sharing the same idea.
"Yin, search for a timer, some sort of clock." spoke the Princess softly.
Within seconds the glowing Buddha expanded, transforming into a luminous door. The abstract door connected to a local network of electronics- a small golden key shown brightly- beside it glowed a small universal icon for a clock.
The Count & Princess locked eyes again- their excitement growing.
"Yin, set the clock to the lunar new year of the Dragon." spoke the Princess, slightly nervous as the moment of truth would now arrive.
But for the next long minute nothing changed. The Count & the Princess held their breath. Then suddenly the hologram disappeared- the antechamber  returned in all its prosaic glory.
The Count & Princess locked eyes again- sharing a slight disappointment. 
But then without warning the mountain of hard rock behind the Buddha opened up into a forest of jade!
