I. The Venetian World
Ivy palmed the crystal ball. The Count & Princess Lei held hands. Thor raged in his crystal prison. Then his sky cleared...
The vault door refused to open.
"Now comes the moment of truth." said the Count.
Princess Lei pursed her lips. The Count fingered the master dial.
"The crazy old merchant said start with one year. Then eight years. These time spans into the past mark the two great turning points in the Mule's conquest for the Union of Worlds. Both time spans are Fibonacci numbers by a mysterious process of history leading up to our present year."
The Count rotated the dial to one, then eight.
"Now, for the 3rd & 4th numbers, add the Fibonacci number 34 to the sum of the prior two numbers."
The Count dialed in the mirror number 43.
"Now repeat."
The Count dialed in the number 85. He looked at the Princess.
"Think, 43 & 85 years ago mark the rise of the Trader Worlds & the destruction of the Empire at Trantor. Our Fibonacci tour of galactic history is complete. Ready?"
He pulled on the vault door. Slowly, with great effort, the heavy door opened. The Count & Princess stood anxious at the threshold. Somewhere inside lay her black diamond pendant.

Ivy caressed the crystal ball. Constantinople emerged from the clouds of Time. The Count & Princess Lei held hands. 
"We have ten thousand gold coins!"
The crowd buzzed. The Merchant of the Empire cast a conquering smile. The auctioneer paused- a mere formality of process.
"Ten thousand gold coins- going once, going twice"
One finger rose.
"Ten thousand & one."
 A shadow of hushed astonishment eclipsed the theater.
"Sir- payment in gold is required forthwith. Do you wish to hold your bid?
"Yes." said the Count.
"I have need of a servant girl- this Princess will suffice."
The aquiline eyes of the Princess burned with hatred. She spat in his direction. The Count's implacable face broke into a thin gruel of a smile.

I. The Crescent Lake
The night wind rose. The humming rose. The red dunes began to stir. In the moonlight, the bright dagger flashed its retreat back into its sheath of shadow.
"So it's easy- rescue Astira in the Trader Star."
Taryn eyed the Dragonfly.
"No- the Mule tracks her like a beggar of death. Astira suffers in the great desert beyond the Pacific dunes."
Later, the child fell asleep in her chrysalis. The Dragonfly closed her eyes. Dreaming, she could hear the children of the lost millennia play- far far away upon the humming dunes.

"Astira is in great danger. There is a new & evil force in the galaxy."
The Dragonfly paused. Her trim black figure formed a silhouette against the moonlit water. She appeared unarmed.
"A new & powerful force? Like what are you talking about- Feng Shui?"
Taryn halfway laughed. He felt sceptical.
The Dragonfly frowned.
"No. There is a leader with super human power- the First Citizen of the Union of Worlds."
Taryn's mood took a serious turn.
"Yea- I've heard of him. But he's no threat to the Foundation."
The Dragonfly frowned.
"No. He is a threat to everyone- including the Foundation- & especially Astira."
"Where is Astira? She sent me an SOS."
"Yes. Open a hologram map. I will show you."
Taryn touched his buckle. A rosy holgram appeared- a picture of Toran & Bayta on Terminus. Just engaged, they both smiled warmly. He touched his buckle again- a map of the Crescent Lake appeared. It glowed softly pink in the white moonlight.
"Yes." The Dragonfly smiled. From nowhere she produced a bright Samurai dagger. She carefully pointed to Astira's approximate location.

II. The Venetian World
The sun set in vivid watercolors. A string of pearled moons rose into the dark heavenly vapor. Twinkling stars sprinkled the midnight hour.
"My Lady- those who see the past, present & future illuminate the dark prison of our mind.
The Count held the soft gloved hands of Princess Lei. He leaned forward & kissed her red lips. Somewhere- light years away- arose the very first bloom of spring.

Taryn picked up his passport & slung his flight bag over his shoulder. The air remained warm from the day- it shimmered in a sunset ribbon edging the mocha desert way beyond the dark crystal water of the Crescent lake. The short runway lead to the city waterfront. He began walking in that direction. He would meet up with someone called a dragonfly. Astira traded in the black market. She had many unsavory contacts. This might be one. 

II. The Venetian World
"I don't know exactly how it works- but it's like a hyperspace jump- except your mind doesn't jump to the future light years away- it just dreams about it." Ivy stirred her cup of mocha coffee with a slow hand & a silver spoon.
"Very interesting." said the Count. He looked at Princess Lei.
"My Lady, I told you Ivy was for real. She is not a charlatan."
The Princess broke into her mischievous smile. The resplendent Count beamed. Their light mood permeated the air, in harmony with the scent from a lead quiver of red table roses.
"But Ivy, can you aim your crystal ball?
Ivy looked out over the waterfront. The gold waves lapped against the porch deck. She pursed her lips seductively.
"Count- the crystal ball goes with the flow of life~ it is unpredictable~ like the Saint Valentine arrow of Cupid."
Ivy smiled demurely.

Taryn's mood veered suddenly to extreme terror. Instinctively he touched his Foundation buckle. His mood bounced back into a euphoric high. He felt dazed in a mental cloud. In every way his invisible force field protected him. His out of control emotions settled back down. His mind began to flow in a clear stream of rational thought- no more panic attack.
"What the hell happened?" he thought.
Astira's icon appeared. Letters glowed in his face mask of invisible field.
"taryn i warn you now the Mule is upstairs"
"Passport" said the Clan warrior.
"Sure" said Taryn. He laid his electronic card on the table. He kept the force field on high. He could see desert falcons veer in steep arcs above the Crescent lake. Unfamiliar stars sprinkled the twilight sky.

Astira asked- "Ozymandias- are you aware- like human being?" She stood before him with pleading eyes.
"Yes- of course I am. I compute, therefore I exist."
Ozymandias smiled. Astira saw a ray of hope crack the darkness. Taryn appeared. His hologram floated in the air.
"Astira- are you ok?"
Astira jumped- as if she saw a ghost.
"Taryn- they will see us. Use ufo text. They will not see this.. bye bye"
Astira turned off her i6 image. Her i6 returned to hiding mode. Flushed with excitement, she felt the tide turn.
Taryn touched his Foundation buckle & Astira disappeared. Her afterimage burned in his brain. He locked the Trader Star & looked around at the crazy town- a small oasis on a wasted planet at the opposite edge of the galaxy. Astira must be somewhere close- but where? And who was she running from? He looked around at some locals & travellers, & then he felt a strange tingling in his brain...
