Aeon Point- Aristarchus moved from shadow to shadow. The large moon and setting sun created an eerie light, producing a strange glow on the sandbar. He looked over the sandbar to the far horizon of water and twilight. After a few minutes he observed a small distant speck of motion- almost invisible to the naked eye. In silence, in muted tones of natural twilight camouflage, a small craft appeared on the sandbar in the blink of eye. Such magic marked a ship from the First Foundation. Aristarchus watched as a small door materialized and the slender figure of a woman appeared. She stepped out upon the sandbar into the lunar glow. Aristarchus touched her mind in the way of the Second Foundation - it was Athena of Samos.

"It is the last week of our year of the Dragon." said Princess Lei, her almond eyes turning demurely to the sea and the stars. The large crescent moon of Kiritimati rose from the horizon, casting a long glittering trail of light across the waves.

"So, the Pearl of Dreams is a guide star- a form of map- pointing the way to a vast treasure built up over fifty thousand years of galactic history."

"That's right," said the Count, "the dynasties of the Far East hid their treasure to avoid confiscation by the Emperors of the Galactic Empire."

He continued,

"You see, legend tells that the Pearl of Dreams reveals its secrets through actual dreams- those dreams either nightmares of insanity, or visions of enlightenment- it all depends on the purity of heart of the dreamer."

Princess Lei turned her almond eyes back to the Count and wondered sadly if the Count was a madman after all.
