I. Round Table

Astira read the message scrawled on the backside of the owl-

"9 pm-The Hourglass.

Archimedes"

She stuffed the owl into a pocket & then mingled with the crowd. Her heart warmed to their good cheer & joviality. But suddenly the raucous hall hushed quiet. Wine slowly dripped from the clock, then trumpets flared into majestic fanfare. Astira turned left- far far away across the hall she could see a crooked figure dressed in sleaves of green. A court fool, he smiled tragically. He stood raptured in thought- then let fly a melodious dove confined within a cage of just a few taut strings.

Astira's blood ran ice cold....

II. Twinkling Star

Princess Lei set foot upon the land. The Dragon followed. Winter's trek- the Twinkling Star touched down from the Druid sky.
