Imperial forces of the Empire rained death and destruction upon the coastal revolutionary strongholds in a typhoon of terror. A young girl darted through the dark streets and alleys, stopping chaotically to look over her shoulder, or look up into the exploding night sky. She carried handwritten messages- no electronic communications could be trusted……

Ten years later and far away, Princess Lei opened her eyes to the shimmering band of the Milky Way arcing across the Parisian sky. The "hummingbird" carried her own handwritten messages hidden within her dress- no electronic communications could be trusted……

The next day the sun rose in the far east. Astira and the Dragonfly listened to every word of the Dragon- one blink of attention and one vital word might be lost- one vital node in a holistic expression of being- a oneness with the morning sun, the soft breeze and the sparkling noise of flowing waters. Astira opened her awareness upon the oneness around them and then she understood. She saw the possibility tree grow from the grasses and she beheld the branches unfold into a fractal complexity of outcomes- each outcome its own bloom of being, each outcome a child of possibility. She reached upward and plucked one bloom from one branch and then she knew the future. The Dragon smiled and the morning sun rose higher into the blue sky- silent clouds of white shadow flew to the horizon like birds.  

The next day the sun rose in the far west. Astira walked through the spaceport in a sea of strange faces. Tears of dragons trickled down her cheeks.

The next day Edmund met Susan on the water lilly bridge. Cool emerald shadows held off the summer heat of Paris.
"Something's got to give- either the past or the future- the status quo- or total revolution."  And Susan looked into Edmund's dark eyes for any sign of light.
The Count of Monte Sano gazed with perfect composure upon the Princess of the Orient as if she were a marble statue. And then he opened the hidden trap door and crawled into the dark tunnel that led to the wide dark sea. The Byronic storms of night passed and he awoke to their present moment upon the garden bridge- not a bridge to the past- a bridge to the future….

The Dragon & The Tiger

Astira worked her way through the crowd. The Dragon Master stood in chains before the Tiger Master- she concentrated her mind to read the emotions of the Dragon Master but she could only sense an inner calm of high consciousness- as if the Dragon Master stood upon a peak and the valley of creation lay below. In a blur of motion the universe stood still. The Dragon whirled and twisted in his chains, throwing his guards off balance- in a flash a saber of light melted away the chains- Ninja stars then swarmed the stage in a deadly firefly dance, but the elusive Dragon became one with his shadow- the stars sailed harmlessly through his shadows of darkness….

Astira reached for her laser pistol but the wings of the Dragonfly enfolded her-

"Yes- A- it is but a matter of honor now- only a matter for the face of the Dragon and the face of the Tiger- we are only blades of grass upon which they walk." And the Dragonfly lowered her eyes and held Astira close in gentle embrace.

Astira looked up to the stage and watched the Dragon Master and the Tiger Master bow to one another. Only one would see the sun rise.

Princess Lei held the Count in her arms. Yin to yang- as if the round sun could rise and set on the horizon of love- always and forever- at the very same moment- a Paradox in time that would never die…….

Edmund reeled backward and staggered senseless from the cave- his brain seized in a daze of utter disbelief. Below the trees he could hear the breaking surf and far away lay the blue horizon of sea and sky. He wanted to run away forever but he turned back to the night of the cave and she stood there- veiled in a gown of pale white moonlight- and he felt his soul drowning within her eyes. Her eyes, her eyes like warm watercolors in a distant spring. He then reached out to hold her but he held only the moonlight.

"Count!" exclaimed the Princess- and she rushed to his side.

The Black Diamond

As the sun set somewhere, somewhere it rose- the yin to the yang. Dressed in the shadows of night, Princess Lei made her way to the Count's apartment. The weight of revolution lay heavily upon her shoulders. The door opened.

The Count rose to greet the Princess, admiring the simple lines of her gown in flowing black silk. 

"Princess Lei, so good of you to join us." And then the Count stopped- astonished and stricken with the emotion of a deep memory. He stared at the luminescing black diamond perched upon the soft white breast of the Princess.

"Princess Lei, your diamond necklace…." 

The Princess spoke in soft clear words.

"Count, the black diamond is exceedingly rare. Like other black diamonds, it was created in a supernova billions of years ago. Most black diamonds are polycrystalline, but this diamond is a pure crystal. It is the Yin diamond, and legend says there exists an interlocking Yang diamond. The Yang diamond is lost to history though." And the Princess smiled and pursed her lips.

The Count's eyes began to tear in the wonder of it all. How many years ago on that distant island of hidden treasure- how many years ago when the Count first opened that archaic box on that deserted island- thousands upon thousands of sparkling jewels in waterfall cascade- and there, in a seperate small compartment- a perfect black diamond with a strange interlocking shape- the Yang diamond!

Liberty Tree

"A fair budding branch from the gardens above,

Where millions with millions agree,

She brought in her hand as a pledge of her love,

And the plant she named Liberty Tree.

The celestial exotic struck deep in the ground,

Like a native it flourished and bore;

The fame of its fruit drew the nations around,

To seek out this peaceable shore."
