One ephemeral minute- Joshua stood at the very edge of a cliff one millennium deep. But time & space are relative things; a trickle of starlight travels the whole galaxy at one moment of eternal time- never changing, never stopping. He stared at Leizu. She stood beneath the shadow of the moon at the small door of an apparent hidden passage, now open. Her intense dreaming eyes implored him to follow. Did he really have any choice? He bolted at once into the dim passage, & she at once locked the hidden door behind him. He stood next to her in the dark. Diffuse starlight trickled from her gown as her bosom swelled up & down in rhythm with her breathing. Then he noticed her fine thin necklace- & a small black key.

II. Paris
The Count knew the many faces of death. He knew that final moment of truth in a duel of honor.  Astira raised her pistol but an acrobatic hand reached from nowhere. Astira felt the wiry grip. She felt the infinite strength.
"Astira, you are safe here. I am not the Mule you fear."
The Count breathed a sigh of relief. His arms stretched wide & high to the heavens in a cross of peace. He lowered his arms. He moved closer.
"Please, read my thoughts. They are the extraordinary novel of an ordinary man."
The Count peered into Astira's wildly excited eyes. She calmed. She remembered the oneness of the Dragon. She stood on the bridge of a Japanese garden. She looked upon a Princess of the Far East. She reached to hold her hand, but felt only the small avian body of a vibrant hummingbird. Astria returned to the Pyramid.
The Count appeared disoriented, but then recovered his composure.
"So- now you see Astira. I am not the Mule."
Astira felt relieved. The Count turned to the man of mystery.
"Good man Bosco- you were magnificent! Now please release the lady. It's all just a misunderstanding."

Astira turned and looked at the gaunt spindly figure holding her hand in an iron grip. His lips twisted into a strange smile.

Joshua felt dizzy. Her voice seemed familiar, yet different somehow. Her dreaming eyes drew him in closer & closer.
"I am Joshua. I am pleased to meet you."
He nodded & then looked around. A vast full moon covered one third of the night sky. At its zenith, young deep blue stars burned in a magnificent cluster. Beyond the marble edge of the palace, a vast sea of glittering waves stretched to the horizon, sparkling like effervescent diamonds.
"Joshua, you are in danger here. You cannot stay."
Leizu rose, her translucent gown shimmering in sliding waves.
"Follow me now. There is no time for delay."
Joshua stared at Leizu. Her gown bore the imprimatur of the Emperor Gongsun. He stood stunned, unable to move. One millennium was a very long time...

II. Paris
Morning sun burned through the mist.
"I think your mentor would be proud." said the Count, rising, his dark wings falling from view.
"Mentor? Who you think is mentor?" asked Astira, always skeptical of idle chats.
"That would be Aristarchus." said the Count matter of factly. He looked at her with a curious air.
Astira blinked at the Count in surprise.
"How you know my secret mentor? You a mind reader?"
She started to crack a smile- but then she realized. Her pyramid of thoughts fractured into a kaleidoscope of fear. In a blinding flash she reached for her laser pistol. Time slowed to a deadly crawl....
