I. The Crescent Lake
Taryn touched his buckle. Stealth text hovered in the air.
"We trapped in big ocean cave below desert. Can you hyper-jump Trader Star to pick up Astira?"
Taryn grimaced. His fingers played the air glow.
"Negative- hyper-jumps not that precise. I could overshoot & burn up the Trader Star in the center of the planet. You need to get to the surface."
"We can't go back same way. They will kill us. Robot friend says maybe old spaceport far away can get out. Only chance."
Taryn shifted uneasily.
"Get to the spaceport. Then I will pick you up."
"Yea- but keep your head. Mule take over your little brain with big psychotic propaganda. Really- you not know up from down."
"I met Dragonfly."
"Yea Dragonfly. She know Silk Path & the Way. Even some future history. Find many trade riches."
Taryn looked out the window. The Crescent lake cut a light blue arc on the mocha desert.
"Astira- I want you to know"
II. The Venetian World
The Count & Princess Lei held hands. Sunset fingers of golden Ivy twined the vineyard. The stained glass sky turned to a dark crystal. One thousand & one stars bubbled in the crystal sphere.
"Count- welcome to Saint-Emilion."
"Thank you." said the Count.
"I am tired from travel & shall retire early. So I bid you a pleasent evening."
The Count nodded & smiled. He gave the man a generous tip. The door closed.
Later, the Count watched the moon rise over the braided field. He opened the window & latched onto a trellis. In moments his feet planted on the ground. He disappeared into the endless rows of vines.
