The sun reddened and sank below the horizon leaving behind a soft veil of stars. In the warm candlelight Astira's shoulder appeared from behind her gliding hair- an image of a dog with a spiked collar appeared.
"What is this?" asked Taron.
"He is my bodyguard." Astira said, "and my companion. He talks to me in my dreams when I sleep."
"What does he say?" asked Taron.
"He tells me what I need to hear. This is only for Astira to know Taron," and she smiled respectfully.
"Of course." said Taron politely. And for some reason he felt his heart sink a little bit.

I. Dark Island
The natural light returned from the morning above. Astira walked on the waterfront, away from several waterfalls cascading down the rocks. The dark open sea stretched out in an abyss. Ancient aerial dragonboats lined the island harbor. She could see rock steps, metal ladders & doors. No doubt she could find a way back to the high mountain patio. A small flock of birds flew out of the dark abyss. Unlike the black parrots, they remained silent. They flew through the mist of waterfalls & then moved in close to the harbor. Then they stopped & hovered like prehistoric humming birds, not so far away. Strange. They just hovered, motionless, as though they watched her every move. Suddenly Astira caught sight of movement on the east face of the rocks. Her telescopic lens focused on the shadowed movement. She stood stunned, unbelieving. A desert tiger nimbly picked its way down the rock face, a sandy beige & orange camouflage shadow moving closer & closer to the waterfront. The implication stared Astira in the face. The tiger lived above in the desert world- there must be a way to the surface, the way of the tiger. Astira narrowed her eyes.

I. Christmas Island
Astira couldn't believe her eyes. Stars glimmered in the crack of the rock. She glimpsed a bit of reality long lost in her subterranean world. Her eyes moistened as she thought of the humming desert beneath the swirl of the galaxy. & somewhere up there in the swirl of dust & stars stood Taryn. She believed in Taryn. She felt in her heart that Taryn would never leave her. That knowledge poured through her body & she shuddered. & then she felt a renewed will to survive slowly build within her.

I. Saint-Emilion
The vineyards of summer passed away. The Count awakened to a fresh blanket of snow. From his youth lost in the Chateau D'Iff he learned to sleep like a Princess on a pea- always on guard & ready to respond. He rose & opened the window. Like a snow leopard he listened to the falling snowflakes & watched them fall in the black night of a new moon. He felt hungry. He opened the window & his nostrils flared in the chill. His paws gripped the sill & he launched his body into the space of night. The stars shown like bright diamonds & the snowflakes fell like pure white angels. He rolled around in the snow!

I. The Desert Island
"Where's Astira?" asked the Dragon.
Ozymandias stood up, flickering in hot thoughts. For a long moment he scanned the shore, raising his right arm & opening the palm & fingers of his electronic hand. Then he retracted his arm & turned to the Dragon.
"Her infrared trail is cold & her low power i6 tracker beacon must be off, unless she wandered out of range."
The Dragon stared at Ozymandias. Jamu stopped tending the fire & spoke.
"Astira said she was bored & wanted to explore the island for some fun. She said she wouldn't be gone more than 24 hours- a galactic day. A lot can happen in a day. I don't like it. It's now the second day. If she found something interesting, why didn't she just come back and tell us about it?"
The Dragon sighed & looked along the shore. Infrared waves undulated along the strip of sand stretching to the dark horizon.
The sunset rainbow faded. Night fell. Astira looked high above, way beyond the falling waters. She reached for her infrared glasses & then she noticed. Incredible! Through a narrow crack in the rock, miles above, through the telescopic optics, she could see the desert stars!

Then he spoke-

I. The Dark Island
Astira painfully regained her senses. 100 steps up, 1 drop down. She could hear the waterfall somewhere off in the pitch black. Womb or tomb? She wondered quietly. She rose up painfully & staggered toward the sound of the water. Then she hit the iron bars. She stood back & pulled out her laser pistol. She fired & the white hot heat faded to dull red. Two bars clanked on the stone floor. She waited patiently for the remainder of the bars to cool, intrigued by the sound of the waterfall. Then she crouched low & squeezed her body through the vertical opening. She felt exhilaration on the other side as she stood up, painfully stretching her legs. She walked to the sound of the water, her space boots picking up the pace through a black maze of corridors. She kicked open a door. Then she saw the light. The water roared. She gasped. Natural light shone in the cavernous hanger. A light blue waterfall fell from a cloud of mist. In front of her she saw a strange small craft- shaped like a deformed dragon boat it stood perched on the dock. Astira broke into a weird grin.
