Princess Lei stepped up to the short boarding ramp; in a moment she stood on the deck of the sailboat- the Blue Dauphine. A dark figure stepped into the star shine- she recognized with reassurance the familiar figure of the Count.

"Count, what a surprise- I didn't know you were a sailor." she said with mild amusement.

"Indeed I am," said the Count, with a nautical air.

"But my Lady, with whom do I have the pleasure of this acquaintance?"

Princess Lei paused.

"Count- it is me, Princess Lei." she said with mild concern.

"Ah, so good to meet you." said the Count. And then he turned with a thin smile to greet the figure of Fibonacci who had just climbed on board.

"A magician?" said Princess Lei, looking at the man with dubiety.
"Yes, I am."
"Well then, show me a trick!" and she flashed her devious smile.
"Princess, I don't do tricks. I'm not that kind of magician."
"Oh I see." she said slowly.
"Well then, what kind of magician are you?"
"I see the past, the present and even the future as one thing, one holistic structure. Everything is connected- nothing is random, there is no chance in our world!"
"None at all?" smiled the Princess,
"So our meeting here tonight isn't chance- but a weird form of destiny."
"Exactly!" said Fibonacci,
"Our world is like an intricate dream- everything, no matter how small, is connected to something else, no matter how far away in space or time, whether in the past or future. "
With that thought she looked out across the sea to the horizon of stars- she could just make out the white crescent sails of a small boat working its way to shore.

I. The Magicians

Princess Lei ran away from the crowd and walked toward the short boat ramp spiraling down to the sea. Several figures stood on a small ledge just above the water line near the base of the sloping ramp. There was no moon, but the backlight from town mixed with the luminous glow of stars concentrated in the galactic plane. Distant clouds were building over the sea, but the night sky remained largely clear. A delicate breeze carried the thin cool scent of the sea air.

When she reached the water's edge, one of the dark figures stepped forward.

"Princess Lei, let me introduce myself, I am Fibonacci the Magician."

"Don't you see? The Galactic Empire is a gigantic expanding bubble in history- but this bubble will never pop- it will only grow weak and fade away in a cold dust of aging stars as our galaxy rotates through the millennia. Don't you see? Wise up- our short lives are doomed- doomed to a feudal existence of servitude to the great Empire- there is no alternative!"

The young man then slaked his thirst with ale and sat down with the others. The aroma of roast meat on a spit filled the large room. Noise and laughter once again ruled the air.

"Necessity is the mother of invention," thought Princess Lei, and she slipped outside into the cool coastal air, the stars bright and thick like a fire of diamonds in the long night.

The sea of darkness surrounded her- her opened eyes- luminescent pearls in the deep of night. And then the sun lay upon her, the morning breeze surrounded her, and the birds flew upon centuries of fresh air. She could see the outskirts of the medieval town flank the bay of sparkling blue water. Her clothing, her shoes, so unfamiliar in their feel and appearance, held her fascination for a few minutes of time. She felt like a bird with new and unfamiliar wings. She wondered if she could fly. Could she?

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!
