I. Gobi Desert
Astira broke the infinite silence.
"How deep is it?"
Ozymandias reached down & scooped up a palmful of sand. For one wild moment he held a hummingbird of the desert- then he let it trickle through his fingers. It flew away.
"How high is the sky? replied Ozymandias.
"The Lost City is buried miles below the surface of Gobi- except for one point."
"The Crescent Lake?" interjected Astira.
"Yes- the Crescent Lake. Its ancient tower & stairway to the moon are the only surviving remnants of the Lost City- at least on the surface of Gobi."
Astira looked at the Dragon.
"Remember the Mule? That Mule ran up the tower on our last night. Why he do that? What does that Mule care about Lost City?"
The Dragon's face turned dark.
"Yes- something evil happened on that tower. Not just on that last night in winter- but 50,000 years ago. Something evil that lead to the Empire's destruction of the lotus of the galaxy. Something the Mule knows that we don't know."
Astira looked at Ozymandias. He appeared somber & buried in deep thought. But no tears fell upon the sand.
