Flowers in the night, torch fires quenched the biting chill. Tattered ghosts of snow melted in their warm golden glow. Cool white blankets of snow stretched out toward the sleeping horizon of mountains & stars.

“Yes- Magnifico is hiding. Somewhere in town. The locals told me of a mysterious musician. Part of a small traveler band on a Christmas tour.”

The Dragonfly paused. She played with a sprig of fire from a torch. A fresh gentle breeze flowed in the night. A silent cloud passed over the moon.

“So the Mule departs the deserts of Gobi & the Lotus of Civilization. Why?”

Astira asked a rhetorical question. It hung unanswered in the night air. She thought of Ozymandias wandering alone on Gobi for thousands & thousands of years. A witness of galactic history. Somewhere in the night howled a solitary wolf.

“I got bad news. I just heard.”

Taran stood in the moonlight. He left behind a silver trail of footprints winding back to the Trader Star.

“The Foundation is officially history. It’s done. It’s over. It’s one more conquered world in the Mule’s Union of Worlds. The great reset.”

Astira looked away. The Mule disrupted way more than just the psychohistory of the Silk Path. The Milky Way glittered in a bridge across the night.
