I. The Dark Island
Leizu gently unwrapped her soft warm embrace, then slipped away like a tropical dream on a winter morning. Slowly, Joshua awakened, watching the jade crystal move hypnotically before his eyes, its perfect blackness deeper than night.
Vivienne smiled imperceptibly. Her fine grey hair formed a delicate lace of frost. She waited for Joshua to return from the crystal, then she abruptly pulled it away. Carefully, she set her powerful cane to her side. Her regal gown wrapped her slender but ample figure in a Medieval river of dark stars.
"Do you know Leizu?" asked Joshua.
Vivienne sighed.
"Yes, I know Leizu personally."
"But- in galactic history, Leizu was the wife of the Yellow Emperor. Leizu died in a revolt against the Empire at a very young age. This was over 1000 years ago. It's written in Encyclopedia Galactica. How could you know Leizu personally?"
Vivienne tilted her head & gazed thoughtfully at Joshua.
"My dear child of the Second Foundation, you too know Leizu personally- but you don't realize it. There is much more to galactic history than your fancy diagrams of possibilities- possibilities that never actually occur! In our universe, all of the future reveals itself to the humble light from a twinkling star."
